News: 5 hours agoWilson caught four of six targets for 57 yards and added a five-yard run in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

Spin: 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.

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.
