News: 6 hours agoWilson caught five of eight targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Spin: 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 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Wilson is entering his third season with the Jets, with fantasy managers eagerly anticipating his breakout season. Since Wilson joined the league, New York's quarterback unit has yet to exceed a passer rating of 75. Despite this, Wilson has already broken the Jets' franchise records for most receiving yards (1,956) and receptions (159) in his first two seasons. He has also maintained an impressive average of 9.2 targets per game, a reliable metric for wide receivers. Even with Mike Williams added to the fold, Wilson has the potential for a career-best performance in 2024 with Aaron Rodgers returning under center. Projected to lead the Jets in targets, Wilson can be confidently drafted as a low-end WR1 in fantasy drafts.
