Jets' Garrett Wilson: Plays second fiddle after early TD
Garrett Wilson caught three of six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.Wilson had a 19-yard catch followed by a 22-yard touchdown reception on consecutive plays on the New York Jets' first drive. His next catch didn't come until less than 10 minutes remained in the fourth quarter, but Wilson set up a third-quarter field goal in between by drawing a 30-yard pass-interference penalty. Wilson took a back seat to Davante Adams, who had nine catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns, all in the second half. With Aaron Rodgers enjoying a resurgence down the stretch, at least statistically, Wilson and Adams have coexisted effectively, so both wide receivers will be high-end fantasy options in Week 16 against the Rams.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Posts 114 yards in OT loss
Garrett Wilson caught seven of 10 targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.Wilson beat Jalen Ramsey for a 35-yard catch on fourth down in the second quarter, and Isaiah Davis scored a 17-yard rushing touchdown on the very next play. The star wide receiver tacked on a 42-yard catch on the second play of the second half and ultimately finished with five more receiving yards than Davante Adams to lead the team. This was a welcome turnaround for Wilson, who had just 100 receiving yards over his previous three games combined. Wilson will have a nice opportunity to build on this performance in Week 15 against the beatable Jacksonville secondary.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Does little with 10 targets
Garrett Wilson caught five of 10 targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.Wilson dusted the Seattle cornerback with a slant-and-go route in the second quarter, but Aaron Rodgers missed him wide open in the end zone, and Rodgers threw a pick-six on the very next play while Wilson was still left searching for his first catch of the game. The standout wide receiver finished the first half with just three yards but got involved coming out of the locker room with a 17-yard catch on the first play of the third quarter. Wilson ultimately finished second on the team in receiving yards, 25 behind Davante Adams, as Rodgers threw for only 185 yards. Up next for Wilson is a Week 14 road game against the stout Dolphins secondary.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Season-low 18 yards in loss
Garrett Wilson caught four of eight targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.Wilson posted his lowest receiving yardage total of the season and has just 59 yards over his last two games combined after averaging 94.4 over the previous five games. Aaron Rodgers hasn't been nearly as much of an upgrade under center as the New York Jets anticipated, but Wilson has still benefited from the change. Heading into the Jets' Week 12 bye, Wilson has already set a career high with five receiving touchdowns, and he's on pace for 1,116 receiving yards this season, which would narrowly set a new personal best for the third-year wideout.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Leading receiver in blowout loss
Garrett Wilson brought in five of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.Davante Adams (6-31-0) led the New York Jets with 13 targets Sunday, but Wilson finished with the most receiving yards for New York on a far more efficient stat line. Both star wideouts suffered from poor play under center by Aaron Rodgers, resulting in mediocre fantasy outputs for the entire receiving corps. Wilson is an elite talent who can only produce as well as his quarterback gets him the ball. Managers of the wideout are hoping the Jets' offense wakes back up against the Colts next Sunday.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Pair of TD grabs in win
Garrett Wilson secured nine of 10 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the New York Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday.Wilson paced the Jets in receptions and was just a yard and target short of tying Davante Adams for the team lead in those categories as well. The third-year receiver also made what is arguably the catch of the season thus far, snaring an Aaron Rodgers floater one-handed in the back of the end zone and somehow dragging his shin in the end zone for a 26-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter that was affirmed via replay. Wilson benefited from Adams' exit for a spell during the second half due to a concussion check, but he's now logged at least eight targets in seven consecutive games, and at least 90 receiving yards in four of the last five contests as well.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Leading receiver in Week 8 loss
Garrett Wilson caught five of eight targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.Wilson's 27-yard catch down to the one-yard line in the second quarter set up Xavier Gipson's go-ahead touchdown catch on the next play. Wilson added a 26-yard catch later in the second quarter and a 35-yard grab in the third quarter to easily lead the New York Jets in receiving yards. Davante Adams was a distant second with 54 receiving yards. Wilson has caught 10 of 17 targets for 174 yards in two games since Adams' arrival, so Wilson maintains a prominent role heading into Thursday's home game against a Texans secondary that's been susceptible to big plays.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Ties Adams for team targets lead
Garrett Wilson caught five of nine targets for 61 yards and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.Wilson's first game after the arrival of trade acquisition Davante Adams was a mixed bag. Wilson caught a two-point conversion to put the New York Jets up 15-6 in the second quarter, but he was the intended receiver on both of Aaron Rodgers' interceptions during Pittsburgh's ensuing 31-0 run, with the second of those bouncing off Wilson's chest and right to a defender. The two big-name wide receivers had nine targets apiece in Sunday's loss, suggesting they are capable of co-existing, and Wilson posted his third-highest receiving yardage total of the season. Wilson will look to find more success in a Week 8 rematch with a Patriots defense that held him to a season-low 33 receiving yards in Week 3.

Jets' Garrett Wilson: Faces new competition for targets
Garrett Wilson could see his target share take a hit after the New York Jets acquired Davante Adams (hamstring) from Las Vegas on Tuesday, Lucas Hutcherson of SNY.tv reports.Wilson has been the clear top wideout through his first two-plus seasons in New York, and he turned in 1,000-yard receiving campaigns in 2022 and 2023 despite substandard quarterback play. After a slow first four games of the 2024 season with four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers under center, Wilson has gotten in sync with the veteran signal-caller and has hauled in 21 of 33 targets for 208 yards and two touchdowns over the last two contests. Though he should continue to see a substantial role, the arrival of Adams -- a six-time Pro Bowler who previously spent eight seasons in Green Bay with Rodgers -- likely means that Wilson will have to settle for being Option 1B in the passing game. On the other hand, the addition of Adams should help divert some attention from Wilson, and perhaps lead to higher-quality looks that uplift the Jets offense as a whole. Wilson still profiles as a must-start fantasy option in nearly every format, even if his weekly production becomes more volatile.
