Jets' Garrett Wilson: Eleven targets in Week 1 loss

Wilson caught six of 11 targets for 60 yards in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.

All 46 of Wilson's first-half receiving yards came on the Jets' touchdown drive on the third possession, but Aaron Rodgers threw for only two yards on the team's other five first-half possessions. Allen Lazard led the Jets' passing game with 89 yards and two touchdown catches in the second half, while Wilson remained stuck in first gear. Expectations are high for Wilson with a healthy Rodgers after the 2022 first-round draft pick began his career with a pair of 1,000-yard seasons despite abhorrent quarterback play. Wilson's volume Monday was encouraging, but he'll look to pick up the production Week 2 against a Titans defense that's much less intimidating than San Francisco's, even with the offseason addition of cornerback L'Jarius Sneed.
