News: 16 hours agoWilson caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Dolphins.

Spin: Wilson wasn't targeted in the first half as the Jets took a 21-7 deficit into the locker room. He was slightly more involved in the second half, but Wilson was overshadowed for a second consecutive game by rookie first-round pick Omar Cooper, who has exceeded 100 receiving yards with a touchdown in both games since recovering from an ankle injury. Wilson will try to bounce back from this season-worst performance in catches, receiving yards and targets when the Jets host the Raiders in Week 8.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Wilson is eyeing a bounce-back following an injury-shortened 2025 that limited him to seven games. It was the first time Wilson had missed time, having appeared in all 51 games during his first three seasons. The 2022 first-round pick ranked no lower than sixth among receivers in targets in each of those years, but he failed to produce a fantasy campaign better than 20th (PPG) due to New York's quarterback woes. Wilson was off to a hot start last season (four TDs, 14.2 fantasy PPG) thanks to a massive 33% target share (second highest). New York's signal-caller problems still aren't completely solved, but veteran Geno Smith should provide an upgrade over last year's Justin Fields/Tyrod Taylor duo. Wilson, 26, is one of the best raw talents at the position and should be valued as a good WR2.
