Wilson caught four of eight targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. 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.

Wilson caught four of eight targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. 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.
Wilson brought in five of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona. 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.
Wilson secured nine of 10 targets for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night. 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.
Wilson caught five of eight targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots. 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.
Wilson caught five of nine targets for 61 yards and caught a two-point conversion in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers. 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.
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. 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 another target hog in Adams in the mix.
Wilson caught eight of 10 targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills. 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 Sunday Night Football. Wilson also has scored a touchdown in three of the last four games as he continues to improve his chemistry with Aaron Rodgers.
Wilson recorded 13 receptions on 22 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. Wilson benefitted from the Jets falling behind 17-0 before halftime and impressively drew 22 of the team's 51 targets. That was the primary reason for optimism 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.
Wilson caught five of eight targets for 41 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos. 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.
