Garrett Wilson Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Jets vs Ravens game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 14, 2025
Coach optimistic about 2025 return
Head coach Aaron Glenn said Friday that he thinks Wilson (knee) will play again in 2025, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was placed on IR prior to Thursday's loss to the Patriots. He will sit out a minimum of three more games, so the earliest Wilson could return would be Week 15 against the Jaguars. It's encouraging for Wilson's fantasy managers that the Jets haven't committed to shutting their top receiver down for the season, even though the Jets are out of the playoff hunt at 2-8.
Nov 13, 2025
Lands on IR
Wilson (knee) has been placed on IR by the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is thus slated to miss at least the Jets' next four games, meaning that he won't be eligible to play again before Dec. 14 against the Jaguars. In his absence, Adonai Mitchell, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, John Metchie and Allen Lazard are slated to handle the team's WR duties.
Nov 13, 2025
Multi-week absence expected
Wilson (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks and could be a candidate for injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson injured his knee in Week 6 against the Broncos and aggravated the injury in the Jets' Week 10 win over the Browns. If placed on injured reserve, Wilson won't be eligible to return prior to Week 15 against the Jaguars. Even if he avoids an IR stint, Wilson could miss multiple games beyond Thursday's game against the Patriots, for which he has already been ruled out. Josh Reynolds (hip) is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 13 against the Falcons and started opposite Wilson earlier in the season. Tyler Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards in both previous games that Wilson missed. Trade acquisitions Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could both see their roles expand as they learn the playbook, and rookie fourth-round pick Arian Smith could see additional involvement in a Jets receiving corps that will be scrambling for production in Wilson's absence.
Nov 12, 2025
Ruled out for TNF
Wilson (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at New England.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't practice at all this week, with reports suggesting he'll likely miss 3-4 games after re-injuring his knee during Sunday's win over Cleveland. Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and Isaiah Williams got the most playing time among the other Jets' WRs on Sunday, but Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie could take on larger roles in the coming weeks.
Nov 10, 2025
Expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks
Wilson is expected to be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks due to a knee sprain sustained during Sunday's win over the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson underwent an MRI on Monday, and it's at least encouraging that his knee injury won't require surgery or a long-term stint on the sideline. That said, Wilson had missed the Jets' prior two games before briefly returning to action Week 10, and he now looks set to sit out until Week 14 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 7 at the earliest. Assuming Wilson is indeed officially ruled out for Thursday's game against the Patriots, whomever of Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor is named the starting quarterback will have to rely on Adonai Mitchell, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, John Metchie, Allen Lazard and TE Mason Taylor will work as their top pass catchers.
Nov 10, 2025
Being evaluated, getting MRI
Jets coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Wilson (knee) is still having his injury evaluated and will undergo an MRI, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson returned to action Week 10 despite being initially listed as questionable for Sunday's win over the Browns due to a knee injury, the same issue that had caused him to be sidelined since Week 6. It's unclear whether Wilson's current knee issue is an aggravation or a new occurrence, but the severity of the No. 1 wideout's injury should be revealed shortly after the conclusion of Monday's tests. Wilson did not secure any of his three targets before exiting versus Cleveland, and at this stage his status has to be considered up-in-the-air at best for Thursday's divisional contest against the Patriots.
Nov 9, 2025
Won't return Sunday
Wilson (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Browns, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Prior to his exit from the contest, Wilson didn't log a catch on three targets. The wideout approached Week 10 action listed as questionable due to a knee injury, but at this stage it's unclear if if his current issue is a setback related to that, or a new injury.
Nov 9, 2025
Exits Sunday's game
Wilson (knee) exited Sunday's game against the Browns due to a knee injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Before his exit, Wilson did not record a catch on three targets. In his absence, Tyler Johnson, John Metchie, Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith will handle the Jets' WR duties.
Nov 9, 2025
Returning from two-game absence
Wilson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Though Wilson ended up taking a questionable tag into the weekend, he never seemed to be at much risk of missing a third straight game coming out of the Jets' Week 9 bye after he turned in limited practices Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full activity Friday. Wilson isn't expected to face any restrictions Sunday and should step back in as the No. 1 target for quarterback Justin Fields, who is set to continue directing the offense in Week 10, despite head coach Aaron Glenn electing not to formally name a starting quarterback following Friday's practice.
Nov 8, 2025
Expected to play Sunday
Wilson (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
This lines up with what Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reported Friday, so it looks like Wilson will make his return to the lineup after missing the previous two contests prior to the Jets' bye. It's a difficult matchup on paper for Wilson, but he has dominated targets when available, cementing his status as a quality fantasy starter.
Nov 7, 2025
Questionable but expected to play
Wilson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, but he's expected to play, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. He didn't quite work his way off the injury report completely, but the star wide receiver is poised to return for his first action since Week 6. The Jets haven't declared a starting quarterback between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor, though Fields is the presumptive starter. Wilson has caught 36 of 56 targets for 395 yards and four touchdowns across six appearances.
Nov 5, 2025
Limited in return to practice
Wilson (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson hasn't played since suffering a hyperextended knee during Week 6 action, but the wideout's return to practice -- albeit in a limited capacity -- following the Jets' bye, has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Wilson now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level before the Jets post their Week 10 injury designations Friday. Prior to his injury, the 2022 first-rounder recorded 36 catches for 395 yards and four TDs (on 56 targets) in six games, marks that still pace the Jets' pass-catching corps.
Nov 5, 2025
Practicing Wednesday
Wilson (knee) is practicing Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't practice or play in Week 8, but he seems to be doing much better after a Week 9 bye. The Jets will face a tough Cleveland defense at the Meadowlands this Sunday, with Justin Fields likely starting at quarterback, though head coach Aaron Glenn has thus far declined to name his starter. QB Tyrod Taylor (knee) is also expected to practice this week.
Nov 3, 2025
Ready to practice again
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that Wilson (knee) will resume practicing in practices this week, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The hyperextended knee that Wilson sustained late in an Oct. 12 loss to the Broncos kept him from practicing ahead of each of the Jets' last two games, but the star wideout appears to be gearing up for a return to the field following his team's Week 9 bye. Before deciding on Wilson's status for Sunday's game versus the Browns, the Jets' coaching and training staffs will likely assess how the receiver's knee responds to his first practice activity in three weeks. Per Eric Allen of the Jets' official site, Glenn was unwilling to name a Week 10 starting quarterback, so if Wilson is available to play Sunday, it's unclear if he'll be catching passes from incumbent Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor (knee).
Oct 24, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Coach Aaron Glenn noted Friday that Wilson (knee) will be out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
With the Jets on bye in Week 9, the star wideout's next chance to see game action will occur Nov. 9 versus the Browns. In Wilson's continued absence, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard are on track to lead the Jets' receiving corps against Cincinnati, though the team's Week 8 starting QB has yet to be revealed by Glenn.
Oct 23, 2025
Not seen at practice Thursday
Wilson (knee) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee late in the Jets' Week 6 loss to the Broncos in London and hasn't practiced since then. The star wideout thus has one more chance to get some work in before the Jets assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Wilson remains out this weekend, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard would be in line to continue to lead the team's WR corps in Week 8.
Oct 22, 2025
Still not practicing
Wilson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson logged three straight 'DNPs' last week before being ruled out for Week 7 action, and he'll now have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. The Jets view their star wideout as day-to-day, but if Wilson is unable to return to action this weekend, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard would continue to see added WR reps in Week 8.
Oct 22, 2025
Viewed as day-to-day
Wilson (knee) is considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson, who approached Week 7 action with a 'doubtful' designation, was predictably inactive for the Jets' loss to the Panthers, but as the wideout distances himself from the hyperextended knee he sustained in Week 5, it's possible he could rejoin the mix this weekend. A return to practice in the coming days, in any capacity, would support that notion after Wilson logged three straight 'DNPs' last week.
Oct 19, 2025
Inactive Sunday
Wilson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Wilson, who leads the Jets with 56 targets through six games, suffered a hyperextended knee last weekend and was unable to practice Wednesday through Friday before being designated as doubtful for Sunday's contest. Now that he's been made inactive, Josh Reynolds will likely work as the Jets' top wide receiver versus Carolina, with Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson and Isaiah Williams also in the mix for added opportunities at the position. Additionally, TE Mason Taylor and RB Breece Hall could see an uptick in targets in the contest, as the Jets look to fill the void created by the absence of their top pass catcher.
Oct 17, 2025
Doubtful to face Panthers
Wilson (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jets coach Aaron Glenn revealed Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson's doubtful designation isn't surprising given previous reports that he was likely to miss a couple weeks due to the knee injury he sustained in the Week 6 loss to Denver. The star wide receiver didn't practice during the Jets' preparation for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Josh Reynolds (hip) will likely work as the Jets' top wide receiver, while Mason Taylor could see additional targets against a Panthers defense that has allowed the most yards in the NFL to tight ends through six weeks.
Oct 16, 2025
Not seen at practice Thursday
Wilson (knee) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson also logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, and though coach Aaron Glenn hasn't ruled out the wideout for Sunday's game against the Panthers, ESPN's Adam Schefter previously reported that Wilson is expected to miss a couple of weeks after hyperextending his knee in Week 6. While Wilson is trending in the wrong direction ahead of the weekend, fellow WR Josh Reynolds (hip) participated in practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's session.
Oct 15, 2025
Not practicing Wednesday
Wilson (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
ESPN's Adam Schefter previously reported that Wilson hyperextended his knee during Week 6 action and is expected to miss a couple of weeks, however at this stage coach Aaron Glenn isn't ruling out the wideout for Sunday's game against the Panthers. With regard to Wilson's chances of being available this weekend, Glenn noted Wednesday "we'll see how he progresses" during the week. If Wilson ends up sidelined versus Carolina, Josh Reynolds (hip), Arian Smith, Allen Lazard (personal) and Tyler Johnson would be candidates to see added reps in Week 7, while the Jets also currently have five wideouts on their practice squad.
Oct 13, 2025
Could miss a couple of weeks
An MRI revealed that Wilson suffered a hyper-extended knee Sunday, with the wideout reportedly expected to miss a couple of weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
We'll await confirmation from the team, but at a minimum it looks like the Jets are in line to be without their top pass-catcher this weekend against the Panthers. If that's the case, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard (personal) and Tyler Johnson would be candidates to see added WR reps in Wilson's absence.
Oct 13, 2025
Appears to avoid serious injury
Wilson (knee) underwent an MRI on Monday and appears to have avoided a serious injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
However, Wilson is potentially looking at some missed time, according to Cimini. The star wideout played through the injury during Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London, but now that the adrenaline has worn off, Wilson could miss some game action. The Jets have two more games before their Week 9 bye. If Wilson were to miss Weeks 7 and 8 against the Panthers and Bengals, New York would be left with a hodgepodge crew of Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard (personal) and Tyler Johnson leading the wide receiver depth chart.
Oct 13, 2025
Injury update coming Wednesday
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said Monday that Wilson (knee) is having his injury evaluated and that the team will provide an update on his health Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is slated to undergo an MRI after having sustained a knee injury during Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London, in which he logged just three catches for 13 yards on eight targets. He received an X-ray after the contest, though it appears further evaluation will be necessary to fully diagnose the severity of his injury. With the No. 1 receiver's status potentially up-in-the-air for Week 7 against the Panthers, Justin Fields and New York's struggling passing offense may have to lean on wideouts Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard (personal), in addition to rookie tight end Mason Taylor.
Oct 12, 2025
Injures knee Sunday
Wilson suffered a knee injury during Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cimini notes that it was previously thought that Wilson was dealing with a hip issue, but the star pass catcher apparently sustained a knee injury Sunday, and is slated to undergo an MRI. Per Cimini, it doesn't appear to be an ACL injury for Wilson, but the wideout's status is nonetheless worth monitoring closely ahead of next weekend's game against the Panthers.
Oct 12, 2025
Slowed by hip issue in Week 6 loss
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said after Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London that Wilson sustained a hip injury during the contest, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. Wilson finished the day with three catches for 13 yards on eight targets.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't miss extensive time at any point in the contest, though Connor Hughes of SNY.tv noted that the receiver looked to be banged up following an incomplete pass on second down on the Jets' penultimate possession. Wilson stayed on the sideline for a third-and-10 play, but he was back on the field for the team's final drive of the day. The Jets should have more details on Wilson's injury when the team returns stateside to begin prep for a Week 7 matchup with the Panthers. Even if Wilson's hip issue doesn't limit him in practice during the upcoming week, Sunday's loss to Denver demonstrated that the wideout's weekly fantasy outlook can be volatile while he's tethered to a poor Jets passing attack. Quarterback Justin Fields dropped back just 26 times Week 6, taking nine sacks and completing only nine of 17 passes for 45 yards.
Oct 5, 2025
Stretches for late TD in loss
Wilson caught six of 10 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Rookie tight end Mason Taylor actually led the Jets in targets with 12 and catches with nine, but Wilson once again paced the team in receiving yards and was on the other end of Justin Fields' second TD toss of the afternoon on New York's final possession. While he has yet to hit 100 yards in a game this season, Wilson will take an impressive 33-382-4 line on 48 targets into a Week 6 tilt with Patrick Surtain and the Broncos' stingy secondary.
Sep 29, 2025
Makes spectacular TD grab in loss
Wilson hauled in six of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-21 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Wilson welcomed back QB Justin Fields (concussion) with open arms after the duo connected in the end zone for the second time this season (third overall for Wilson). The star wideout scored in spectacular fashion when he caught a high-point pass through a defender's arm while barely dragging both of his feet in bounds. He did have a second potential score erased by an offensive pass interference penalty. Wilson is now up to 311 yards and three touchdowns through four starts as the Jets continue to force feed him the ball in failed comeback attempts. Fantasy managers should treat the Ohio State product as a WR1 in another soft matchup versus the Cowboys on Sunday.
Sep 21, 2025
Gets into end zone in Week 3
Wilson caught 10 of 13 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Despite having Tyrod Taylor under center instead of Justin Fields (concussion), Wilson was still the clear top downfield option for the Jets, as none of his teammates saw more than six targets or caught more than four passes, and his 11-yard TD catch from Taylor early in the fourth quarter kicked off an attempted comeback from a 23-6 deficit by New York. Wilson will take a 21-229-2 line on 30 targets into a Week 4 meeting with the Dolphins.
Sep 14, 2025
Four grabs as Fields gets concussed
Wilson caught four of eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was the only player to exceed nine receiving yards for the Jets in the ugly Week 2 loss. He's the clear top target in a Jets passing attack that could be orchestrated by Tyrod Taylor in Week 3 against the Buccaneers after Justin Fields sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's defeat. Wilson had three catches for 33 yards in Taylor's two drives following Fields' injury.
Sep 7, 2025
Clear top receiver in Week 1 loss
Wilson caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Wilson put the Jets in front with a 33-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, and he came two yards from scoring again on a 21-yard catch in the third, leading to a Justin Fields rushing score on the next play. He was the clear top option in the passing game, as Breece Hall was a distant second in both targets (four) and receiving yards (38), but Wilson will regret his inability to hold onto the ball on the Jets' final offensive play, as Jalen Ramsey dislodged the ball from his hands on fourth down, preventing what would have been a game-extending catch. With Wilson showing strong chemistry with Fields, the talented wide receiver should remain a strong fantasy option against the Bills in Week 2.
Aug 16, 2025
Remains without catch in preseason
Wilson didn't gather in any of his three targets during Saturday's 31-12 preseason defeat to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has yet to record a catch on four passes from new QB Justin Fields through two exhibitions, but the former's standing as the unquestioned No. 1 option in the Jets' passing game isn't in question. Once Week 1 rolls around, Wilson should be good for the typical 9.2 targets per game that he's averaged through three pro campaigns, all of which have resulted in 1,000-yard seasons.
Aug 10, 2025
Brief cameo in preseason opener
Wilson didn't catch his only target in Saturday's 30-10 preseason win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Wilson wasn't on the field for long, and while the only pass directed his way from quarterback Justin Fields fell incomplete, the starting offense still managed to produce a touchdown on Fields' and Wilson's only drive of the game. After signing a four-year, $130 million extension in July, Wilson's locked in atop the Jets' wide receiver depth chart.
Jul 14, 2025
Lands four-year, $130M extension
The Jets signed Wilson to a four-year, $130 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal contains $90 million guaranteed and locks Wilson up with the Jets through the 2030 season. New York had two more seasons of contractual control with Wilson, but the sides are getting the long-term deal out of the way early. Wilson turns 25 years old next week and has produced three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons since the Jets used the No. 10 overall pick on the wideout out of Ohio State. Wilson set career bests across the board last season with his 101-1,104-7 receiving line and looks to again be the unquestioned alpha WR1 with the Jets following the release of Davante Adams earlier in the offseason.
Jun 10, 2025
Present for minicamp
Wilson is attending the first day of New York's mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson continues to seek a contract extension after the Jets exercised his fifth-year option in April, but there have been no signs that the No. 1 wideout's desire for a long-term extension could impact his attendance of team activities. Now heading into his age-25 season, Wilson will spend the offseason working to build chemistry with Justin Fields, the third time in his career he's entered the year with a new quarterback under center. Despite constant turmoil in his surroundings, Wilson has never missed a regular-season game or finished below 1,000 receiving yards since entering the league as a 2022 first-round pick. It remains to be seen how efficient Fields and the passing game will be under new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, but Wilson remains positioned as the Jets' unquestioned top receiving option and appears destined for a dominant target share.
Apr 30, 2025
Fifth-year option made official
The Jets exercised the fifth-year option on Wilson's rookie contract Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
General manager Darren Mougey said prior to the 2025 NFL Draft that New York would pick up the fifth-year options of London, Sauce Gardner and Jermaine Johnson (Achilles), and the team has now made each of those transactions official. Wilson is coming off three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and remains the clear top receiving option on the Jets' depth chart, with Allen Lazard, Josh Reynolds and Tyler Johnson behind him in the wide receiver room, and rookie second-round pick Mason Taylor a new addition to the tight end corps. Even if Justin Fields' dual-threat capabilities result in an overall decline in passing for this offense, Wilson figures to retain a tremendous target share following the offseason departures of WR Davante Adams and TE Tyler Conklin, and considering his current competition for volume. Picking up the No. 1 wideout's fifth-year option shouldn't make the Jets any less motivated to negotiate a long-term extension with Wilson, who will turn 25 in July.
Apr 21, 2025
To get fifth-year option
Jets GM Darren Mougey said Monday that he plans to exercise the fifth-year option on Wilson's rookie contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson's rookie contract will now run through 2026, with a fifth-year option for the final season projected at $16.8 million. He's likely still hoping for an extension this offseason, after starting his career with three straight 1,000-yard campaign as a high-volume target in bad offenses. The Jets figure to run the ball more now that they have dual-threat Justin Fields at quarterback, but Wilson should see a lot of targets anyway, as there isn't much competition for Fields' attention after the offense lost WR Davante Adams and TE Tyler Conklin this offseason.
Mar 13, 2025
Set to be WR1 for team's new QB
Wilson is set to operate as the top wide receiver in 2025 for new Jets quarterback Justin Fields, with whom the team agreed to a two-year, $40 million contract, per Dianna Russini and Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
In addition to signing Fields, the Jets have parted ways with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, the latter of whom cut into Wilson's target share significantly after being acquired in a midseason trade with Vegas last season. The mobile Fields isn't considered a particularly proficient passer, but the biggest knock on him has been his failure to get off his first read, and Wilson figures to be that top read frequently in a Jets offense that could still bolster its receiving corps via free agency or the draft but currently lacks a clear starter opposite Wilson. Case in point, D.J. Moore set career highs in both receiving yards (1,364) and receiving touchdowns (eight) with Fields at quarterback for the Bears in 2023. Wilson also has some established familiarity with Fields from their college days, as they were teammates at Ohio State in 2019 and 2020, though Wilson's most productive college season came in 2021 with C.J. Stroud under center.
Jan 5, 2025
Quietly posts career year
Wilson caught four of five targets for 51 yards and rushed once for no gain in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes the 2024 season with 101 catches for 1,104 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 154 targets.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't account for any of Aaron Rodgers' four touchdown passes, but the third of their four connections accounted for Wilson's 100th catch of the season. In addition to setting a new career high in receptions, Wilson exceeded his previous career high by one receiving yard. Wilson's seven receiving scores matched his combined total from 2022 and 2023, so Wilson made incremental improvements despite the Jets' inconsistency on offense. The 2022 first-round draft pick remains under contract with the Jets for 2025.
Dec 29, 2024
Catches late TD from Taylor
Wilson caught seven of eight targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Wilson accounted for 42 of Aaron Rodgers' 66 first-half passing yards as the Jets continued to struggle on offense. The wideout lost a fumble in the third quarter but rebounded in the fourth, helping the Jets avoid a shutout loss by catching a nine-yard touchdown pass from Tyrod Taylor with 6:59 remaining. Having already surpassed 1,000 yards for the third time in as many seasons, Wilson will have a chance to set a new career high in receiving yards against the Dolphins, as he needs 50 to match his rookie total of 1,103.
Dec 22, 2024
Well behind Adams again
Wilson caught six of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was limited to just one catch for 15 yards in the first half while Davante Adams led the team with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. The script flipped to a degree after halftime, as Wilson out-gained Adams, 39-16. Wilson has been the No. 2 option in the passing game rather than the co-No. 1 in recent weeks, so he'll be a less trustworthy fantasy option than Adams in Week 17 against the Bills.
Dec 15, 2024
Plays second fiddle after early TD
Wilson caught three of six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had a 19-yard catch followed by a 22-yard touchdown reception on consecutive plays on the 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.
Dec 8, 2024
Posts 114 yards in OT loss
Wilson caught seven of 10 targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
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.
Dec 1, 2024
Does little with 10 targets
Wilson caught five of 10 targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 17, 2024
Season-low 18 yards in loss
Wilson caught four of eight targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
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 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.
Nov 10, 2024
Leading receiver in blowout loss
Wilson brought in five of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Davante Adams (6-31-0) led the 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.

Pair of TD grabs in win
Wilson secured nine of 10 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
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 pro 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 getting both feet inbounds for a 26-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter that had to be affirmed via replay. Wilson benefitted from Adams' exit for a time 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 Thursday's 90 receiving yards in four of the last five contests as well.
Oct 27, 2024
Leading receiver in Week 8 loss
Wilson caught five of eight targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Wilson's 27-yard catch down to the 1-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 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.
Oct 20, 2024
Ties Adams for team targets lead
Wilson caught five of nine targets for 61 yards and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
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 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.
Oct 15, 2024
Faces new competition for targets
Wilson could see his target share in the Jets passing attack take a hit after New York acquired Davante Adams (hamstring) from Las Vegas on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional third-round pick, Lucas Hutcherson of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
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 over the last two contests, hauling in 21 of 33 targets for 208 yards and two touchdowns. Though he should continue to see plenty of involvement in the passing game moving forward, the arrival of Adams -- a six-time Pro Bowler who previously spent eight seasons in Green Bay with Rodgers -- likely means that Wilson won't have as clear of a path to being a No. 1 option. 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 ceiling is no longer quite as high with anoth
Oct 14, 2024
Back-to-back games over 100 yards
Wilson caught eight of 10 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Wilson put the Jets up 10-7 with a five-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, but that turned out to be New York's last lead of the game. He has exceeded 100 receiving yards in consecutive games after averaging 47.8 receiving yards in Weeks 1-4, so Wilson's trending up ahead of a Week 7 trip to Pittsburgh for SNF. Wilson has also scored a touchdown in three of the last four games as he continues to improve his chemistry with Aaron Rodgers.
Oct 6, 2024
Racks up 13 catches in loss
Wilson recorded 13 receptions on 22 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Wilson benefitted from the Jets falling behind 17-0 before halftime and impressively recorded 22 of the team's 51 targets. That was the primary source of positivity in the performance, as he still struggled to pair up efficiently with Aaron Rodgers by averaging only 4.6 yards per target. Despite that concerning sign, Wilson's productivity in this game was positive, headlined by his second touchdown and first 100-yard effort of the campaign.
Sep 29, 2024
Slow start continues
Wilson caught five of eight targets for 41 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Wilson fumbled at the end of a seven-yard catch on New York's opening drive and wasn't targeted again in the first half. He was more involved after halftime, but Wilson notably failed to get on the same page with Aaron Rodgers on a key pass that would have put the Jets into field goal range on the team's penultimate possession. A combination of inclement weather and tight coverage from Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain limited Wilson's effectiveness Sunday, but this game continued a pattern of underwhelming performances from the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver. Wilson has yet to exceed 60 receiving yards in a game this season heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Vikings in London.
Sep 19, 2024
Records touchdown in Week 3 win
Wilson brought in five of nine targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 24-3 win over the Patriots on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Wilson tied Tyler Conklin for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in targets. The third-year receiver's scoring grab was his long-awaited first in conjunction with Aaron Rodgers and came from two yards out with just over six minutes remaining in the third quarter. The Jets' air attack saw eight different players record receptions Thursday, but Wilson remains its clear No. 1 option heading into a Week 4 home battle against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 29.
Sep 15, 2024
Team-high 57 receiving yards
Wilson caught four of six targets for 57 yards and added a five-yard run in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Wilson led the Jets in receiving yards as Aaron Rodgers threw for just 176 yards, while running backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen combined to score all three of the team's touchdowns. A substantial step forward with Rodgers under center has yet to materialize for Wilson after the 2022 first-round draft pick overcame subpar quarterback play to begin his career with a pair of 1,000-yard seasons, but Thursday's home game against a Patriots secondary that just got burned for 129 yards and a touchdown by Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf offers an intriguing breakout opportunity for Wilson.
Sep 9, 2024
Eleven targets in Week 1 loss
Wilson caught six of 11 targets for 60 yards in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
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 in 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.
Aug 25, 2024
No appearances in preseason
Wilson did not play in Saturday's 10-6 preseason win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Along with other key starters for the Jets, Wilson did not suit up at all during the exhibition season. Through two seasons as a pro, Wilson has shown an elite ability to draw targets, but quarterback play has held back his production. That shouldn't be an issue in 2024 assuming Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy, as Wilson will once again operate as the Jets' clear top pass-catching option.
Aug 17, 2024
Not on track to play
Wilson is one of the 31 Jets not expected to dress for Saturday's preseason game at Carolina, Randy Lange of NYJets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets will hold out most of their veteran starters and top backups, allowing rookies and roster-bubble players to handle most of the snaps. The list of players not expected to be in uniform includes QBs Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor, RB Breece Hall, WRs Xavier Gipson, Allen Lazard and Malik Taylor and TEs Tyler Conklin and Jeremy Ruckert. The team also held Wilson out of its preseason game and may not play him until Week 1.
Aug 10, 2024
Likely not suiting up
Wilson is not expected to play in the team's preseason opener against the Commanders on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The Jets are expected to hold out almost the entirety of their projected starters, so that the star wide receiver likely won't play is hardly a surprise. Wilson's preseason ADP reflects optimism regarding New York's offense especially now that multi-time MVP Aaron Rodgers is back healthy from a Week 1 torn Achilles.
Jan 8, 2024
Fine after neck injury Sunday
Speaking with the media Monday, Wilson said his neck is fine after he was forced to leave Sunday's Week 18 win over the Patriots, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson took a glancing blow to the head from Jabrill Peppers in the season finale, exiting after playing just 38 offensive snaps. Wilson underwent evaluation for a concussion and was diagnosed with a neck issue. It doesn't sound like he's dealing with anything significant, and Wilson should have a normal offseason after catching 95 passes for 1,042 yards and three touchdowns on 168 targets this season. Wilson's 168 targets were the fourth-most in the NFL, trailing only CeeDee Lamb, Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill. Getting Aaron Rodgers (Achilles') back healthy for 2024 will be huge for Wilson's efficiency and touchdown upside.
Jan 7, 2024
Leaves finale with neck injury
Wilson cleared concussion protocol but exited Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots with a neck injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. He caught two of five targets for 34 yards, bringing his season totals to 95 catches for 1,042 yards and three touchdowns on 168 targets.
ANALYSIS
Wilson dressed in all 17 games for the second consecutive season, but the 2022 first-round draft pick took a modest step back after racking up 1,103 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie. Poor quarterback play once again held Wilson back, as Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles just four plays into the season, paving the way for a combination of Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian to share the workload under center for the Jets. Wilson will have plenty of time to recover from his neck injury in the offseason, and his production could benefit significantly in 2024 if Rodgers is able to play near his pre-injury level.
Jan 7, 2024
Undergoing concussion evaluation
Wilson has exited Sunday's game against the Patriots to be evaluated for a concussion, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson sustained a hard hit to the head when Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers collided with him following an incomplete pass in the third quarter. The second-year wideout has helped off the field before being taken to the locker room, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Wilson exited the game with two catches (on five targets) for a team-high 34 receiving yards. With the Jets already eliminated from playoff contention, it's likely that the team will take every precaution with the 2022 first-round pick, who came into Sunday's action with 93 receptions for 1,008 yards and three touchdowns this season.
Dec 28, 2023
Modest numbers in Week 17 loss
Wilson brought in five of 10 targets for 50 yards in the Jets' 37-20 loss to the Browns on Thursday night. He also netted minus-1 yard on his only carry.
ANALYSIS
Wilson led the Jets in receiving yards and targets, although that didn't add up to much in terms of fantasy production. The talented receiver was once again the victim of a heavy dose of dink-and-dunk passing by Trevor Siemian, who averaged only 5.8 yards per attempt. Wilson did cross the 1,000-yard mark for the second time in as many seasons with Thursday night's production, and he'll head into the Week 18 regular-season finale on Jan. 7 against the Patriots needing seven receptions to reach the 100-catch mark.
Dec 24, 2023
Season high in targets Sunday
Wilson caught nine of 15 targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
With Trevor Siemian under center instead of Zach Wilson (concussion), Wilson the wideout saw a season high in target volume but didn't get many opportunities to stretch the field, as his longest reception went for only 16 yards. Running back Breece Hall ended up leading the Jets in catches, targets and receiving yards as Siemian stuck to a dink-and-dunk game plan. Wilson effectively remains a one-man show among the Jets' receiving corps, although Jason Brownlee did catch one pass among his three targets for an eight-yard TD on Sunday, but high volume won't necessarily lead to big production in Week 17 against a fierce Browns defense.
Dec 17, 2023
Just four targets in Week 15
Wilson caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Wilson finished with a season-low target total and posted his second-fewest receiving yards, one week after notching season highs with 14 targets and 108 receiving yards. Starting quarterback Zach Wilson (head) exited in the second quarter, and things didn't get any better after backup Trevor Siemian came in under center, as Wilson's 29 receiving yards actually tied for the team lead. With Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) unlikely to come back this season now that the Jets have been eliminated from playoff contention, Wilson will likely continue to be hindered by poor quarterback play in Week 16 against the Commanders.
Dec 10, 2023
Season-high yardage total in win
Wilson caught nine of 14 targets for 108 yards and added a three-yard run in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had consecutive receptions of 16 and seven yards on New York's second and third offensive plays, but his only other contribution in the first half was a three-yard jet sweep in the second quarter to convert on fourth-and-1. He got going again coming out of halftime, catching three passes for 55 yards on the first drive of the second half to set up a 15-yard Randall Cobb touchdown. That touchdown opened the floodgates to a 30-point second half from the Jets, and Wilson ultimately set a season high in receiving yards while tying his season high in targets. Zach Wilson also threw for a season-high 301 yards, so New York's passing game is heating up heading into a Week 15 trip to Miami.
Dec 3, 2023
Modest numbers against Falcons
Wilson caught three of seven targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 13-8 loss to the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
After being targeted only once in the first half, Wilson came alive on the Jets' first possession of the third quarter, starting the second half with a 31-yard catch before adding a nine-yard reception to convert a fourth down. He had a 22-yard toe-tapping catch along the sideline overturned on a challenge later on the same drive, so the Jets had to settle for a field goal to cut Atlanta's lead to 10-8. Wilson didn't add another catch the rest of the way, nor did the Jets score again, as a change in quarterback from Tim Boyle to Trevor Siemian in the fourth quarter proved futile. Regardless of which quarterback the Jets tab to start in Week 14 against the Texans, Wilson's potential will remain held back by poor play under center with Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) still recovering.
Nov 24, 2023
Scores first TD since Week 2
Wilson caught seven of 10 targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 34-13 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Wilson got both hands on a pass in the end zone in the fourth quarter but failed to control it to the ground. He got a chance at redemption two plays later and converted it for his third touchdown of the season, and his first since Week 2. The one-yard touchdown came with the Jets trailing 27-6 and facing softer coverage. Prior to scoring, Wilson didn't benefit from the change in quarterback from Zach Wilson to Tim Boyle -- who finished with 179 passing yards on 38 attempts -- so the Jets' No. 1 receiver will have to overcome poor quarterback play again when the Jets host the Falcons in Week 13.
Nov 22, 2023
Turns in full practice
Wilson (elbow) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had been estimated as a limited participant Tuesday for the Jets' walk-through session, but he took every rep Wednesday during a more traditional practice to clear up any concern about his availability for Friday's game against the Dolphins. After putting together a 57-651-2 receiving line on 103 targets through the Jets' first 10 games while playing primarily with Zack Wilson at quarterback, Wilson will now look to establish rapport with veteran journeyman Tim Boyle, who has been named the Jets' Week 12 starter.
Nov 21, 2023
Still dealing with elbow injury
Wilson (elbow) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
ANALYSIS
Wilson also dealt with an elbow issue last week, but it didn't stop him from playing a typical 88 percent of snaps this past Sunday at Buffalo. His production (2-9-0 on eight targets) in that outing didn't match his previous four games, when he went for at least seven catches for 80 yards on 12 targets on each occasion. Perhaps the switch at quarterback from Zach Wilson to Tim Boyle can help get Garrett Wilson back on track, but first the second-year wide receiver again may have some listed restrictions on his reps ahead of Friday's contest against the Dolphins.
Nov 20, 2023
Shut down in Sunday's loss
Wilson caught two of eight targets for nine yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Jets coach Robert Saleh finally got frustrated with Zach Wilson's inability to move the ball consistently as quarterback and turned to backup Tim Boyle in the second half, but neither signal-caller was able to connect downfield with the team's top wideout. It was Garrett's worst production of the season, and the elbow injury he picked up last week may have also been a factor. The performance snapped a streak of four straight games in which he'd seen at least 12 targets and turned them into at least 80 yards. Wilson hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 2 though, and the turmoil under center for New York will give the second-year receiver some extra risk in Week 12 against Miami.
Nov 19, 2023
Active versus Bills
Wilson (elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Wilson practiced in a limited fashion this past week and headed into to the contest listed as questionable, but on Friday the wideout relayed that he planned to play Sunday. With his active status now confirmed, Wilson should continue to lead the Jets' wideout corps in Week 11, though the 2022 first-rounder did acknowledge that his elbow issue could hamper him some. To what degree remains to be seen, but assuming he's able to handle his normal snap allotment, or close to it, Wilson - who's recorded at least seven catches and 12 targets in each of his last four contests - will have a chance to maintain his high-volume role in the team's passing game.
Nov 19, 2023
Will be available Sunday
Wilson (elbow) remains listed as questionable but is on track to play Sunday against the Bills, a source confirmed to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Wilson said after Friday's practice that he was leaning toward playing through his injured right elbow Sunday, and the wideout is seemingly continuing to make progress in his recovery as the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. The Jets will officially clear Wilson for Sunday's contest with the release of their inactive list, which will be posted 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Assuming he's active for the contest as expected, Wilson shouldn't face any major restrictions with his snaps. Wilson has accounted for 35 percent of the Jets' receiving yardage on the season, putting together a 55-642-2 line on 95 targets through nine games.
Nov 17, 2023
Plans to play against Bills
Wilson (elbow) plans to play Sunday against the Bills, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Wilson will be listed as questionable for the contest, he expressed confidence regarding his Week 11 status Friday, noting that his elbow is "doing better," while adding "I'm feeling good, so we're going to rock this weekend." Coach Robert Saleh was previously non-committal about Wilson's availability versus Buffalo, but based on the wideout's comments, he's trending in a positive direction ahead of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff.
Nov 17, 2023
Officially questionable for Week 11
Wilson (elbow) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's road matchup against the Bills, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Robert Saleh said "we'll see" about the top wideout playing Sunday, noting that "there's a couple hurdles [Wilson] has to clear." An elbow injury has restricted Wilson to 'limited' practice sessions this week, but it looks like his actual status for Sunday's divisional matchup could come down to the wire. In that case, Wilson's availability might not be made official until roughly 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. He's drawn double-digit targets in five of the Jets' last six games.
Nov 16, 2023
Logs another limited practice
Wilson (elbow) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was also limited Wednesday, so the Jets' top wideout will presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Bills minus an injury designation. Assuming Wilson is available this weekend, he'll remain a valuable fantasy asset Week 11, given the steady volume he continues to garner in his team's passing attack.
Nov 15, 2023
Listed as limited Wednesday
Wilson (elbow) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets conducted a walk-through Wednesday, so what Wilson does Thursday in a standard practice should provide added clarity with regard to his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. In a 16-12 loss to the Raiders in Week 10, Wilson -- who logged a 94 percent snap share in the contest -- was a bright spot in the New York offense, hauling in nine of his team-high 14 targets for 93 yards.
Nov 12, 2023
Targeted 14 times in Week 10
Wilson caught nine of 14 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 16-12 loss to the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was banged up throughout the game and spent some time talking to trainers on the sideline, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, but the star receiver managed to play through whatever was bothering him. He made a valiant leaping effort at Zach Wilson's Hail Mary attempt on the final play of the game, but the ball bounced away incomplete. Wilson has at least 12 targets and 80 receiving yards in each of the last four games, giving him a high floor heading into a Week 11 road game in Buffalo.
Nov 6, 2023
Seven catches on MNF
Wilson caught seven of 13 targets for 80 yards and lost a fumble in Monday's 27-6 loss to the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Wilson fumbled in the first quarter, but that didn't deter the Jets from feeding their top receiver 13 targets for a second consecutive game, and he has been targeted at least 12 times in four of the past five games. With little receiving talent besides Wilson, New York has little choice but to force feed the standout wideout, but defenses can also afford to shift significant attention in his direction. Still, it's encouraging that three of his four highest yardage totals have come in the past three games, though Wilson will be looking to break a touchdown drought that dates back to Week 2 when the Jets fly to Vegas in Week 10.
Oct 29, 2023
Reaches century mark in OT win
Wilson caught seven of 13 targets for 100 yards and added a six-yard rush in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Wilson continues to be productive despite Zach Wilson's inconsistency under center, and the Jets' top receiver reached 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 13 of last season. He added another nice catch to his highlight package in this one, getting both feet down along the sideline for a 17-yard reception that the Giants unsuccessfully challenged in the fourth quarter. Wilson's 29-yard catch later in the fourth proved crucial, as the Jets added another 29-yard pass on the next play before spiking the ball with one second left and kicking a game-tying field goal. Wilson hasn't found the end zone since Week 2, but he has 190 receiving yards in his last two games heading into a Week 9 MNF matchup with the Chargers.
Oct 15, 2023
Eight catches in Week 6 win
Wilson caught eight of 12 targets for 90 yards in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Wilson accounted for 90 of Zach Wilson's 186 passing yards despite having a 25-yard catch erased by a blindside block called on Allen Lazard. New York's top pass catcher was seen talking to trainers on the sidelines in the fourth quarter and went to the X-ray room after the game, though head coach Robert Saleh noted that Wilson could have returned to the game, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Wilson's availability for Week 8 against the Giants after a Week 7 bye doesn't appear to be in question, but his participation in practice will still be worth monitoring once the Jets begin preparing for the intrastate clash.
Oct 8, 2023
Makes most of three catches
Wilson had three receptions on seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Wilson nearly matched his yardage total from his previous contest despite seeing half as many targets Sunday. The talented wideout finished second in receiving yards for the Jets, as Breece Hall (22-177-1) and the team's defense did the heavy lifting in the win. Wilson's upside continues to be limited by the loss of his starting quarterback in Week 1, but he remains relevant heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Eagles so long as current starter Zach Wilson continues feeding him the ball.
Oct 2, 2023
Game-high 14 targets on SNF
Wilson turned 14 targets into nine receptions for 60 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Zach Wilson was intent on getting his No. 1 receiver the ball coming off of a string of poor performances. The young duo who share a last name couldn't connect in the end zone on any of Wilson's game-high 14 targets, limiting the wideout to a voluminous PPR effort Sunday. Wilson has maintained fantasy value through his quarterback's inconsistent play so far with a rising target count each week this season. It will be tough for Wilson to top the 14 targets from Sunday's narrow defeat, but expect the wideout to be a focal part of the offensive gameplan against the Broncos next Sunday.
Sep 24, 2023
Five catches in Week 3 loss
Wilson caught five of nine targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
The majority of Wilson's yardage came on a 29-yard catch on the game's third-to-last play, after which the Jets spiked the ball with one second left to set up a Hail Mary that bounced off Randall Cobb's hand. Zach Wilson threw for just 157 yards, but at least Garrett led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The second-year wide receiver has also accounted for two of the Jets' three offensive touchdowns through three weeks, and Wilson should continue to work as the top option in New York's underwhelming passing game in Week 4 against the Chiefs.
Sep 18, 2023
No injury concerns
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Wilson (undisclosed) has been cleared of any injuries following Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had the wind knocked out of him in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss, but he didn't sustain any form of serious injury. He caught two of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown prior to leaving the field. With another tough defense on deck Week 3 when the Jets take on the Patriots, though, Wilson could be primed for another matchup in which Zach Wilson struggles to get the ball in his hands consistently.
Sep 17, 2023
Wind knocked out late in loss
Wilson (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-10 loss in Dallas, Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York reports. He caught wo of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown prior to getting hurt.
ANALYSIS
Wilson checked himself out of the game and went into the blue medical tent after consulting with trainers along the sideline. He was taken to the locker room in the final minutes of the blowout loss, in which Wilson scored New York's only touchdown on a 68-yard catch and run. Per Andy Vasquez of NJ Advance Media, head coach Robert Saleh said after the game that Wilson had the wind knocked out of him and should be fine moving forward. Zach Wilson struggled to get Wilson the ball against a tough Dallas defense. Despite opening the season on a two-game touchdown streak, Wilson will have a low touch floor in Week 3 against the Patriots, even if his injury doesn't lead to additional missed time.
Sep 13, 2023
Back to Wilson under center
Wilson will be working with Zach Wilson as his quarterback in Week 2 against the Cowboys and beyond after tests confirmed a season-ending Achilles injury for Aaron Rodgers on Tuesday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Garrett didn't catch a single touchdown pass in the nine games Zach started last season, but the Wilsons connected for a pivotal score in the Jets' 22-16 win over the Bills on Monday. Rodgers went down before completing a single pass with the Jets, and while predictions of a spectacular sophomore season from Wilson were tied in large part to the expected upgrade in quarterback play, the 2022 first-round draft pick out of Ohio State could still be poised to build on his 1,103-yard rookie season.
Sep 12, 2023
Spectacular TD after Rodgers injury
Wilson caught all five of his targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 22-16 overtime win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) exited the game on the Jets' first drive, and the starting quarterback may have suffered a season-ending injury. Zach Wilson (no relation) failed to get New York's top receiver involved consistently, but G. Wilson still came up with the highlight of the night on his game-tying, two-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Wilson used his right hand to knock a poorly thrown ball towards himself, then juggled it with the same hand and proceeded to gain possession while falling back for an early catch-of-the-year candidate. It was Garrett's first touchdown catch from Zach, who started nine games last season. The 2022 Offensive Rookie of the Year is a tremendous talent, but his fantasy stock would take a major hit in Week 2 against the Cowboys and for the rest of the season if Rodgers' feared Achilles tear is confirmed by tests in the coming days.

Catches Rodgers' first TD
Wilson corralled all three of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Wilson joined new quarterback Aaron Rodgers in making their respective 2023 preseason debuts with the Jets on Saturday. The talented duo connected for an easy 14-yard touchdown to close out the first-team's second and final drive of the game. Wilson is poised to take his game to the next level after the Jets traded for the two-time MVP this past offseason. The Ohio State product accrued a 83/1103/4 receiving line last season while winning AFC Rookie of the Year with Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco and Mike White throwing him the ball, so expectations will be high for the star wideout following Rodgers' addition. Wilson and the Jets will kick off the regular season with a matchup against the Bills on Sept. 11.
Aug 19, 2023
Not expected to play Saturday
Wilson isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson returned to practice in recent days after spending two-plus weeks rehabbing a low ankle sprain, but it looks as though the Jets will play it safe with the wideout Saturday. In that event, Wilson's next chance to see exhibition action will be next weekend against the Giants.
Aug 12, 2023
Not available Saturday
Wilson (ankle) won't play in Saturday's preseason contest against the Panthers, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite returning to team drills this week, the Jets are still being cautious with Wilson after he tweaking his ankle during training camp. Breece Hall (knee) and Aaron Rodgers are also sidelined, so Zach Wilson will lead the Jets' offense and rely heavily Allen Lazard, Corey Davis and Mecole Hardman.
Aug 10, 2023
Back to team drills
Wilson (ankle) is participating in team drills at Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Robert Saleh said early Thursday that Wilson would only participate in individual drills, but it looks like the second-year wideout has progressed quicker than expected. Granted, the Jets went through a light practice load, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see Wilson take another step forward. Saturday's preseason game against the Cardinals could still be too soon for Wilson to suit up, it may not be long until the wideout is back in full.
Aug 10, 2023
Handling individual drills
Wilson (ankle) will be limited to individual drills Thursday, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson remains sidelined from team drills, as has been the case since he injured his ankle roughly two weeks ago. Coach Robert Saleh has expressed optimism that the second-year wideout won't remain out for long, but at this point it seems highly unlikely he'll be available for Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers. After that point, Wilson will have just two more chances to get on the field for preseason game reps prior to Sept. 11's regular season-opener against the Bills.
Aug 9, 2023
No team drills Wednesday
Wilson (ankle) was once again held out of team drills during Wednesday's practice, Eric Allen and Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site report.
ANALYSIS
Wilson continues to bounce back from an ankle injury that he sustained earlier in training camp, but it shouldn't be long before the wideout resumes practicing fully. That said, it doesn't seem likely that Wilson will see action in Saturday's preseason game against the Panthers.
Aug 5, 2023
Likely returning soon
Wilson (ankle) is expected to fully participate in the upcoming joint practices against the Panthers on Wednesday or Thursday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was supposed to return to practice Saturday, but it seems as if the Jets are taking a cautious approach with the stud wide receiver. The second-year target suffered a low-ankle sprain July 27 and has yet to participate in organized activities, but he's been spotted on numerous occasions doing work on the sidelines. It's unclear if the team expects Wilson to participate in the Jets' second preseason contest Aug. 12.
Aug 1, 2023
Expected back Saturday
Coach Robert Saleh noted that Wilson (ankle) had a good workout Tuesday and is expected back at practice Saturday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson, who suffered a low ankle sprain last week at practice, is thus slated to miss the Jets' preseason opener Thursday against the Browns. Assuming no setbacks once he returns to the field, the wideout could potentially see work in the team's second exhibition contest, Aug. 12 against the Panthers.
Aug 1, 2023
Continues to miss practice
Wilson (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Tuesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson hurt his ankle during last Thursday's practice, but Antwan Staley of nydailynews.com relays that the wideout is dealing with a low ankle sprain. With that in mind, Wilson profiles as day-to-day and it seems unlikely that he'll take the field in Thursday's Hall of Fame game against the Browns.
Jul 30, 2023
Not practicing Sunday
Wilson (ankle) won't practice Sunday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson turned his ankle during Thursday's practice and remains sidelined. Head coach Robert Saleh initially said the wideout should be okay and is considered day-to-day. Despite it presumably being a minor issue, it's not surprising to see the Jets take a cautious approach with the 2022 first-rounder, who caught 83 passes for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns across 17 appearances as a rookie.
Jul 27, 2023
Ankle issue downplayed by coach
Wilson hurt his ankle during Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
On the plus side, coach Robert Saleh noted afterward that all indications are that the Jets' top wideout will be okay. For now, consider Wilson day-to-day. The 2022 first rounder is coming off a strong rookie campaign in which he logged 83 catches for 1,103 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 147 targets in 17 games.
Jan 8, 2023
Tops 1,100 yards as rookie
Wilson caught nine of 17 targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins. He finishes his rookie season with 83 catches for 1,103 receiving yards on 147 targets.
ANALYSIS
Wilson had a phenomenal rookie season, establishing himself as the team's clear No. 1 wide receiver while setting the Jets rookie record in receiving yards. His production was even more impressive given New York's quarterback carousel of Zach Wilson, Mike White (ribs) and Joe Flacco, who peppered the 2022 first-round pick out of Ohio State with targets in the season finale. If the Jets can upgrade under center in 2023, Wilson would be well positioned to avoid a sophomore slump.
Jan 1, 2023
Can't take advantage of volume
Wilson caught three of 11 targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
He was by far Mike White's favorite option on the day, but the QB's struggles led to a brutal line in the box score for Wilson. The rookie wideout is ending his first NFL campaign with a whimper, posting a 7-48-0 line over the last two games despite 20 targets, and the Jets' unsettled quarterback situation will make him a risky fantasy play in Week 18 against the Dolphins.
Dec 22, 2022
Disappointing performance in loss
Wilson brought in four of nine targets for 30 yards in the Jets' 19-3 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.
ANALYSIS
The rookie receiver suffered a significant downturn in production in conjunction with a shaky night overall for the Jets' air attack. Zach Wilson was replaced by Chris Streveler late in the third quarter, which actually helped to boost Wilson's production somewhat. However, Wilson's lost fumble at New York's 38-yard line with just over four minutes remaining arguably snuffed out any chance at a successful comeback, as the turnover led to a field goal that gave the Jaguars a 16-point advantage. Wilson's best chance at Week 17 success in a road matchup versus the Seahawks a week from Sunday will be the return of Mike White (ribs) to the starting role.
Dec 18, 2022
Almost 100 yards with Wilson at QB
Wilson caught four of nine targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was targeted only three times in the first half by Zach Wilson, though one of those three targets turned into a 33-yard reception. The rookie receiver was noticeably frustrated in the third quarter when he was running open beyond the sticks but the second-year quarterback missed him with an errant throw. Wilson kept his head in the game, though, and made another 33-yard catch in the fourth despite being interfered with by a defender on a drive which culminated with C.J. Uzomah's go-ahead touchdown catch. After the Lions retook the lead, Wilson added catches of 22 and 10 yards to help get the Jets in range for a game-tying field-goal attempt, which Greg Zuerlein missed from 58 yards. The Jets have a quick turnaround before facing the Jaguars on Thursday, which will make it a tall order for Mike White (ribs) to get cleared, so Garrett could be catching passes from Zach (no relation) again in Week 16.
Dec 11, 2022
Sets Jets rookie record in loss
Wilson caught six of seven targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Wilson eclipsed Keyshawn Johnson's Jets rookie record of 844 receiving yards by raising his season total to 868. That total includes 335 yards in three games since Mike White took over under center for New York. White suffered a rib injury and was sent to the hospital as a precaution after finishing the game, but if the quarterback's available in Week 15 against the defensively challenged Lions, Wilson would be well positioned to add to his recent success.
Dec 4, 2022
Thriving with White at QB
Wilson caught eight of 15 targets for 162 yards and threw an incomplete pass in Sunday's 27-22 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Wilson bounced off a tackle attempt and scampered downfield for a 60-yard gain early in the fourth quarter, but he stepped on the sideline at the 11-yard line, preventing him from coming away with a 71-yard touchdown on the play. The Jets had to settle for their fifth field goal of the game to cap that possession, cutting Minnesota's lead to 20-15. Wilson also had a chance to throw the ball on a trick play, but he wisely threw it away after Minnesota sniffed it out. The rookie first-round pick has been tremendous since the Jets upgraded from Zach Wilson to Mike White under center, racking up 257 yards and two touchdowns in White's two starts. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 14, when the Jets will try to sweep the season series against the Bills.
Nov 27, 2022
Two TDs in White's debut
Wilson caught five of eight targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears. He added one rushing attempt for minus-1 yard.
ANALYSIS
Wilson showed immediate chemistry with new starting quarterback Mike White, catching three of four targets for 32 yards on the opening drive, including an eight-yard touchdown. The pair hooked up again in the second quarter for a 54-yard touchdown, on which Wilson showed off his shiftiness after the catch. At least for one game, White looked like a considerable upgrade over Zach Wilson under center, which has the rookie wide receiver's arrow pointing up ahead of a Week 13 matchup with a leaky Minnesota secondary.
Nov 20, 2022
Held to 12 yards in Week 11 loss
Wilson caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Both offenses struggled on a windy day in Foxborough, but New York's passing game was particularly ineffective, as quarterback Zach Wilson completed only nine of 22 passes for 77 yards. This was the second-lowest yardage total of Wilson the receiver's career, and it came just three weeks after the rookie first-round pick racked up a career-high 115 yards against this same opponent. New York's entire offense has nowhere to go but up in Week 12 at home against a far more generous Chicago defense.
Nov 18, 2022
Will remain top dog as Davis sits
Wilson is in line for another game as New York's clear No. 1 wide receiver with Corey Davis (knee) having been ruled out for a third straight game, Ethan Greenberg and John Pullano of the Jets' official site report.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has thrived since Davis went down, racking up 115 yards in Week 8 and 92 receiving yards in Week 9 prior to the Jets' Week 10 bye. The 115-yard game came against the Patriots, whom the rookie first-round pick will face again Sunday, this time on the road.
Nov 6, 2022
Eight catches in Week 9 win
Wilson caught eight of nine targets for 92 yards and added a seven-yard run in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
No other Jet had more than 16 receiving yards, as Wilson monopolized opportunities in the passing game with his ability to get open and shiftiness after the catch. He made a rookie mistake when the ball came out of his hands as Wilson turned to run after pump faking on a trick play, but Wilson was able to dive on top of it and avoid disaster on a drive that culminated in James Robinson's go-ahead touchdown. Wilson has 207 receiving yards over the past two weeks, but he may cede some targets to Corey Davis (knee) after New York's Week 10 bye.
Nov 4, 2022
Retaining WR1 role in Week 9
Wilson will continue serving as New York's No. 1 wide receiver Sunday against the Bills, as Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports that Corey Davis (knee) has been ruled out.
ANALYSIS
Wilson thrived in the lead role with Davis sidelined for the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots, notching a career-high 115 receiving yards. As heavy home underdogs against the AFC East rival Bills, the Jets could be forced into a pass-heavy game plan, which would further benefit Wilson's volume against a tough Buffalo secondary that could be getting cornerback Tre'Davious White (knee) back for this one.
Oct 30, 2022
Career-high 115 yards in Week 8
Wilson caught six of seven targets for a game-high 115 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
With Corey Davis (knee) sidelined, Wilson was the Jets' go-to wide receiver, but tight end Jack Conklin scored both of the team's touchdowns. Wilson's 54-yard catch in the first quarter set up a field goal for the game's first points, and the rookie first-round pick set a new career high in receiving yards. Wilson's chemistry with quarterback Zach Wilson continues to improve heading into a Week 9 clash with the Bills.
Oct 28, 2022
Team's clear WR1 in Week 8
Antwan Staley of the New York Daily News expects the Jets to rely more on Wilson against the Patriots on Sunday with Corey Davis (knee) sidelined.
ANALYSIS
Wilson leads the Jets in catches (28) and targets (52), but Davis is the team leader in receiving yards with 351 entering Week 8. The two share the team lead in receiving touchdowns with two apiece. With Davis sidelined, Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios and Denzel Mims could all see more targets behind Wilson as well.
Oct 23, 2022
Four catches in Week 7
Wilson caught four of five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Elijah Moore (personal) didn't play and Corey Davis left early due to a sprained MCL, allowing cornerback Patrick Surtain and the Denver defense to focus on Wilson, especially after running back Breece Hall (knee) exited. Wilson has been quiet during the Jets' four-game winning streak, but New York could be forced into a more pass-heavy approach in Hall's absence, which may lead to more targets for Wilson in Week 8 against the Patriots.
Oct 16, 2022
Only one catch
Wilson caught one of five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Wilson struggled to make an impact against a talented group of Packers cornerbacks. While his output comfortably marked a career low, the rookie saw quarterback Zach Wilson pass for merely 110 yards overall Sunday. The first-round wideout and the Jets will look to make a bigger impact through the air in Week 7 versus the Broncos.
Oct 9, 2022
Three catches in Week 5 win
Wilson caught three of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was quiet for the second time in as many Zach Wilson starts at quarterback, though that was the case for all of New York's wide receivers in this one, as the Jets trampled Miami with five rushing touchdowns. The rookie first-round pick could benefit from a more pass-heavy game script in Week 6 against the Packers, but Wilson's usage will likely continue to ebb and flow in a New York offense with a lot of mouths to feed.
Oct 2, 2022
Quiet with Zach Wilson under center
Wilson caught two of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Quarterback Zach Wilson made his return from a knee injury and featured familiar targets Corey Davis (74 yards, one touchdown) and Elijah Moore (53 yards) over the rookie first-round pick. Wilson the receiver still made an impact by helping to set up the first of New York's two fourth-quarter touchdowns with a 35-yard catch, but he'll look to improve his chemistry with the other Wilson -- no relation -- in Week 5 against the Dolphins.
Sep 25, 2022
Six catches in Week 3
Wilson caught six of 10 targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 27-12 loss to the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Wilson set up a field goal with a 23-yard catch on the Jets' first drive but left the game early in the second quarter after taking a shot to the ribs. The rookie first-round pick was rolling around in pain after the play but managed to return to the game in the second half and finished second on the team in receiving yards behind tight end Tyler Conklin (84). Wilson has been the favorite target for veteran Joe Flacco, but it remains to be seen how his fantasy outlook will be affected by the expected return of starting quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) in Week 4 against the Steelers.
Sep 25, 2022
Back in action Sunday
Wilson (ribs) has returned to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson caught all four of his targets for 46 yards before leaving the contest in the first half, but he came out of halftime ready to go. He'll look to continue his strong game in the second half.
Sep 25, 2022
Injures ribs Sunday
Wilson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bengals with a rib injury.
ANALYSIS
Prior to leaving the game, Wilson caught all for of his targets for 46 yards. In his absence, Elijah Moore and Corey Davis are in line to head the Jets' Week 3 WR corps.
Sep 18, 2022
Caps breakout game with winning TD
Wilson caught eight of 14 targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns. He also rushed once for minus-2 yards.
ANALYSIS
Wilson tied the game at seven with his first NFL touchdown in the second quarter, scoring from two yards out. He stayed down clutching his back after an awkward landing in the second half, but he promptly returned to the game and continued adding to his breakout performance. Wilson led the Jets in catches, targets and receiving yards, but he saved his biggest play for last, scoring the game-winning 15-yard touchdown over the middle in the final minute. The rookie first-round pick has quickly emerged as the favorite target for Joe Flacco, who's expected to continue filling in for Zach Wilson (knee) under center in Week 3 against the Bengals.
Sep 11, 2022
Tops 50 yards in NFL debut
Wilson caught four of eight targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Wilson finished second behind Corey Davis (77) in receiving yards, totaling three more than Elijah Moore. Each of New York's top three wide receivers were heavily involved in the game plan, which should continue to be the case moving forward. Joe Flacco's expected to start under center once again in Week 2 against the Browns after filling in for Zach Wilson (knee) against Baltimore.
Aug 29, 2022
Finishes up modest preseason
Wilson caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't have the eye-popping preseason enjoyed by some other rookie wide receivers, but the 10th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft should contribute right away when the games start to count. The Jets' Shanahan-style offensive system requires extreme precision and knowledge of the offense from its receivers, so Wilson was likely focusing more on executing the little details than racking up numbers throughout the preseason.
Aug 22, 2022
Gets work in early
Wilson recorded three receptions for 15 yards in Monday's preseason win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Wilson recorded all of his catches within the first two offensive possessions. All of his receptions came near the line of scrimmage, though he did make a nice contested catch that was also off-target for a modest gain. Wilson figures to have a locked-in role among the Jets' top-three receivers in his rookie season, likely playing outside opposite Corey Davis with Elijah Moore working out of the slot.
