Garrett Wilson Week 8 Outlook - Jets at Patriots

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week, in Davante Adams' debut, Wilson still led the team with a 23.1% target share, a 45.8% air-yard share, and a 26.9% first-read share. Wilson should remain in the top two of the passing pecking order this week against New England. The last time the Jets faced the Patriots, Christian Gonzalez followed Garrett Wilson on 88.6% of his routes in shadow coverage. I don't think history repeats itself this week. Gonzalez hasn't truly shadowed a wide receiver since Tyreek Hill in Week 5, and I don't think he will shadow either Wilson or Adams this week. Rodgers' top two receivers should each thrive this week against a secondary that has allowed the tenth-highest PPR points per target and the 13th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
