Any updates on Wilson, and where he is at with Rapport with Rodgers?

Garrett Wilson is reportedly thought to have “Justin Jefferson-like” ability according to one NFL coordinator.Wilson was recently named an “honorable mention” to the NFL’s Top-10 WR’s by executives, scouts, and coaches in a survey done by ESPN.Wilson was reportedly thought to be in the same “tier” with names like Jaylen Waddle, Mike Evans, and Deebo Samuel.Dan Orlovsky (former NFL QB) said he believes Wilson is “on the verge” of being a 1,500 yard WR.Just THREE WR’s went over 1,500 yards last season

Garrett Wilson was reportedly the “best player” at Jets minicamp practices this off-season.
Wilson reportedly looked more “fluid” than he’s ever been this off-season.
Many around the league reportedly believe Wilson is primed for a “breakout” season.
Aaron Rodgers even said Wilson could end up being the “best” WR in the entire NFL.Coming off of an IMPRESSIVE rookie season, Wilson looks to dominate in year two

Will Rodgers remember when the season starts?

And will the team even have high passing volume by design?

GARRETT WILSON MAKES RIDICULOUS TD CATCH AT NEW YORK JETS CAMP, SHOWING INSTANT CONNECTION WITH AARON RODGERS

 

[Panda13]

I have a crush on this cat. I put in over half my FAAB last year to snag him but then regretfully dropped him when that turd Milf Wilson was the QB.

I'm targeting Wilson as my 2nd round pick (16 overall in a 12 team). Is this too risky? Especially if guys like AJB or Lamb are still there? I just think this kid is going to breakout w/Rodgers in town. I also like targeting younger players before there breakout rather than established older injury riddled vets (D-Hop, Keenan, etc).

I am similarly high on Wilson.

My personal approach is if you have a flag plant that you just believe in - if that guy is not going to make it back to you, then no it's not too early. In this case, there is no chance Wilson makes it back to you in the 3rd, so take him.

Garrett Wilson was on pace for the WR40 in games with Zach Wilson last year

But was a Top 8 Fantasy WR in games with Mike White and Joe Flacco

He has also been dominating training camp with Aaron Rodgers at QB

And has a real chance to finish as a Top 5 WR this season

A few facts are different but for the most part that could double as an Elijah Moore tweet.

Davante Adams has a prediction for NY Jets’ Rodgers-Wilson duo

So his prediction, unless I'm missing something, is: "these 2 bouta act up this year wtf".

What odds are the books giving on the acting up prop?

[Drunken Cowboy]

I am about sold

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I am about sold

Anyone that can be offensive rookie of the year catching passes from Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco and Mike White is pretty good. Even if Rodgers is in decline - and I think he’ll be back in form - it’s a serious upgrade from 2022.

Yeah to clarify I am starting to wonder if he can be a top5 WR

Not too early. Dude has monstrous upside this year.

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Injured his ankle in practice today. Probably nothing major but worth monitoring.

 

[Faust]

Jets HC Robert Saleh told reporters he expects WR Garrett Wilson (ankle) to return to practice Tuesday.

Wilson has missed about a week with a “tweaked ankle” suffered at the start of camp but is expected to return in short order. Saleh previously relayed that he expected Wilson back for Saturday’s session, which came and went without a return to the field. The second-year wide receiver is in line to lead a pass-catching corps now on the receiving end of passes from future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, a situation that has vaulted Wilson’s draft stock near the first round in early drafts.

 

[Faust]

Garrett Wilson (ankle) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Wilson returned to practice Tuesday but will remain limited as the Jets head into their second preseason game. The team will surely be cautious with their No. 1 wideout, who last year earned Offensive Rookie of The Year honors on the strength of 83 catches, 1,103 yards, and four touchdowns. Unless his ankle issue lingers into late August, Garrett should be a second round pick in 12-team fantasy formats.

 

[Faust]

ESPN’s Rich Cimini said Garrett Wilson (ankle) returned to practice and “did more than expected” by participating in 11-on-11 drills.

Wilson was limited at Jets camp when he returned on Wednesday but ramped things up the next day. The second-year receiver suffered a low-ankle sprain early in camp and had been sidelined for the past week. Cimini also said Wilson “seemed to have no problem cutting on the grass field,” which is another encouraging sign that he’s nearing a full recovery. Wilson is primed for a second-year breakout with Aaron Rodgers now on the team. His low-end WR1 upside makes him a great pick in the second round of PPR drafts.

Need 37.1 ppr points from him tonight. It's in that "very unlikely, but there is enough potential that it isn't miracle territory" range.

 

[rockaction]

I think -- and please do not gamble on this if you're a lurker and gamble feverishly -- he's going to have a big night tonight. The Jets' other skill players are all coming back from injury and/or not up to speed and/or not that great.

Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman? If the Jets plan on winning tonight, I see twelve-fifteen targets tonight for Wilson, and I know how many that is.

13 targets, 10 rec, 161 yds, 1 TD. I get my 37.1 points to tie my game, which I would win due to bench points. Guaranteed by rockaction

Lock of the week.

 

[Faust]

Garrett Wilson caught all five targets for 34 yards and one touchdown in the Jets’ Week 1 win over the Bills.

Wilson and the Jets faced an uphill battle after quarterback Aaron Rodgers was lost for the night after just four offensive plays. He was relatively quiet until making a ridiculous touchdown catch with just under five minutes remaining where he batted the ball away from the defender and corralled it from his back in the end zone. Wilson will have a week of practice to re-establish a connection with backup quarterback Zach Wilson considering the injury to Rodgers.

 

[rockaction]

Hope for the Jets to sign Rivers or Wentz or anyone, really.

They gotta be kicking the tires on Carson Wentz about now.

That’s the sound of the hype train falling off the bridge

 

[rockaction]

That’s the sound of the hype train falling off the bridge

It was deserved hype, though. There's something different between a guy that can't play and a guy that doesn't have a QB.

Agreed. He was gonna be really good this year. But the floor feels like zero now unfortunately.

 

[rockaction]

Like absolute zero.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Like absolute zero.

it''s only funny bc it is true

man....dude has so much talent, with AR he was poised to have an Adams-type season

as a fellow long time sufferer of a seemingly cursed franchise, my heart goes out to NYJ fans

sincerely....it is devastating

****************

for the offense

diverging briefly away from GW....

this team can play with anyone IMO - that defense is an absolute unit

they are built for today's game, and they can wreak havoc on any aerial attack; I can't wait to see how far the defense and Breece Hall can carry them

 

[BobbyLayne]

OTOH

the first ever regular season Wilson-to-Wilson TD

while I am fully cognizant of just how bad Zach is rn, man alive, if he can just put it in the general vicinity, 17 will find a way

 

[efactor]

Out of curiosity, what round would you have drafted G Wilson if you knew Z Wilson would be the QB? He was an early 2nd in most leagues.

 

[travdogg]

Personally, probably round 5 or so. Diontae Johnson/Mike Williams territory.

 

[TripItUp]

I have to believe they will make a move for a veteran QB here.

 

[rockaction]

I have to believe they will make a move for a veteran QB here.

They say they're sticking with Wilson and that he gives them the best chance to win.

PFFFFBBBBBBTBTBBFBFBBFFBBBFFBTT

That's what I say to that.

 

[ericttspikes]

Garrett is a great talent, but if I were the Jets I'd just ride Hall/Cook and that defense and not let Zach throw unless absolutely necessary.

 

[menobrown]

Out of curiosity, what round would you have drafted G Wilson if you knew Z Wilson would be the QB? He was an early 2nd in most leagues.

As many know he was WR8 last year in games he did not have Zach Wilson as his QB, WR60 with him.

So really the part of the equation is that despite Saleh's comments that Zach is their guy, is who and when will they bring in another QB? Zach Wilson has the most major fundamental flaw a QB can have as it relates to a pass catcher. A failure to launch. Wilson just needs someone to give him a shot.

Saying all this it's not the loss of Rodgers that is so impactful IMO, it's just that Zach Wilson is the current alternative.


This was my rankings before the season, after Kupp's injury:

Tier one:

JJ, Chase, Tyreek

Tier 2:

Wilson, Lamb, Diggs, ASB, AJB, Adams and Ridley.

Tier 3:

Olave, Devonta, Waddle

Tier 4:

Kupp, Higgins, Allen

Tier 5:

Deebo, Metcalf, Cooper

Now? I would put Wilson in tier 4. Which for the leagues I'm in would generally require an early to mid third.

 

[jurrassic]

I went from thinking Wilson had top 5 FF wr value to not wanting to start him. We've been here before, last year. We know how it ends.

I feel your pain as I went all in on Wilson this year. Fortunately last year he still managed to put up a top 20 season without Rodgers so I’m hoping he can muster another one of those as a consolation prize.

 

[Bri]

I'd trade him in redraft if somehow very favorable return. Lot of people believe he'll find a way. Sooo let someone else worry about that.

I have my doubts and I am aware he had poor QBs last year.

Love his talent. It just feels like such a big ask meanwhile other teams simply have a good QB that regularly throws to the WR. Take the easy out if you can find a buyer

 

[Nick Vermeil]

PFFFFBBBBBBTBTBBFBFBBFFBBBFFBTT

That's what I say to that.

They have to say that right now. We’ll see if they are able to add someone.

 

[fruity pebbles]

I saw nothing from Zach last night that showed me he’s improved, so I’d be actively trying to move Garrett. Even his amazing TD catch should have been an INT if Garrett wasn’t so friggin good.

[ffmail4me]

Zach Wilson made some good throws too last night. He's still young, he still has a canon, he just needs to improve between the ears. I think its possible he has improved, but he's obviously a long ways from being A Rod.

He's not good. Anything else is just positive thinking.

In 9 games last year with Zach, Garret had 34 for 447 and 0 tds. Averaged 49.7 yards per game. This could not be worse for Garrett Wilson. Add in their schedule and it only gets worse.

He hit wide open motionless guys 5-10 yards downfield. That's an improvement

 

[zoonation]

I am trying to trade him for Tee Higgins.
