Garrett Wilson
vs George Pickens

“Garrett Wilson will vacuum up the targets in his absence.”

“According to the Fantasy Points Data Suite 2.0, Wilson has rock-solid or better marks of a 21.5% target share, 0.24 targets per route run (TPRR), 33.3% first-read rate and 37.5% air yard share this season. Mitchell’s 25% first-read rate trails behind Wilson’s. However, Mitchell is pacing the Jets in target share (23.1%), targets per route run (0.26 TPRR) among players with at least 30 routes and air yard share (59.4%).”

“Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic pointed out that Wilson led all Jets receivers with 42 targets during camp — the next closest was Adonai Mitchell with 27. I don’t think Smith will suddenly find the fountain of youth, but if he plays with remote levels of competence, volume alone should drive Wilson into low-end WR1 territory without issues.”

“Wilson is cheaper, his QB situation is better, and his early schedule is the second-easiest. This might finally be the year I’m buying.”

“his counterpart for the Jets, Garrett Wilson, is coming off a much less severe season-ending injury. Potentially playing with the best QB of his career in Geno Smith.”

“Honorable mention: DeVonta Smith and Luther Burden .” – Mark Ringo ( Sleepers and Busts ) Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ) “ Garrett Wilson is an elite talent stuck on a team lacking elite quarterback play.”

“Garrett Wilson will easily lead the Jets in targets if he stays healthy.”

“Add in the fact that Wilson has more competition than ever — first-round tight end Kenyon Saddiq, first-round receiver Omar Cooper Jr., and Adonai Mitchell, who the team acquired last year in the Sauce Gardner deal — and I’m just feeling faded by the Jets’ leading wideout.”

“The public’s opinion on Pickens has changed, and while it is important to “stay water” as a dynasty manager, I do not believe much has changed in Dallas for me to view their WR tandem’s outlook drastically differently than I did at the end of last season. Prospect Performances Jeremiah Smith Watching Ohio State football is confusing for me at times. I cannot comprehend how Jeremiah Smith gets open on seemingly every play.”

“I understand Pickens was your second- or third-round pick, and you’re probably tilted, given the lack of production through four weeks. But I urge you not to sell low now. The spike weeks are coming, and soon.”

“George Pickens has a relatively disappointing nine receptions (4.5 per game) and 68 scoreless receiving yards (34.0 per game) this season. He also has two drops and a 36.3% air yard share. Better days lie ahead for Pickens, and they could start this week.”

“The newly arrived George Pickens recorded a 22.1% target share in the red zone compared to Lamb’s 18.6%, which was also behind Jake Ferguson , who led the team with 23.1%.”

“Never mind that George Pickens will cut into CeeDee Lamb ‘s target share in Dallas, and vice versa. Lamb and Pickens play in one of the league’s most prolific passing attacks, which makes both of them appealing draft targets.”

“Fellow wideout George Pickens is ranked just four spots behind Lamb in the Player Profiler Dynasty Rankings , and the gap is closing.”

“Pickens finished as a WR1 for the first time in his career, and there is no reason to think a repeat is out of the question. He is still behind CeeDee Lamb for targets, but he should contend for WR1 status.”

“Pickens answered that question by expanding his role after moving to a more aggressive passing offense, aided in part by a teammate missing time. The argument is that Pickens has already shown he can grow into a larger role, while Tate hasn’t yet, which should push Pickens ahead of him, possibly by more than a single spot.”

“Dallas will have a tough dilemma if franchised WR George Pickens has a Pro Bowl season and Overshown remains healthy.”

“George Pickens had a monster first year with the Cowboys, catching 93 passes for 1,429 yards.”
