Garrett Wilson, the New York Jets wide receiver, snagged just three catches for a measly 27 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 4. It was a brutal outing that had to leave fans shaking their heads.
Wilson’s Targets Don’t Tell the Whole Story
Wilson saw four targets during the game, sure. And yeah, that actually tied him for the team lead in targets. But honestly, when the entire team barely does anything through the air, that’s not exactly a stat to brag about, is it? The Jets passing game was just flat, period. They did not do much at all, and Wilson’s limited yardage is a stark reflection of that.
Trying to Find the Silver Lining in a Rough Week
Still, the guy caught three of those four throws. That tells you he’s still got the hands, even when the playcalling or protection isn’t giving him much to work with. It’s not on him when the ball just isn’t flying downfield. He’s making the most of what he gets, but right now, what he’s getting isn’t much.
Looking ahead, he’s gotta bounce back. The good news? Experts are thinking Wilson should see more success next week. Keep an eye on him, because if the targets go up, he could still be a solid No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues, which is a small comfort when the team’s air attack is struggling this much.
