From the article

Wilson was the WR15 on WR25 usage and the WR3 on WR9 usage in the previous two outings with Breece Hall (quad), AD Mitchell (finger) and Mason Taylor (thumb) all sidelined. They're all still injured, so Wilson's ceiling is far higher than usual. The Browns are the only team in the NFL actually playing man coverage at a notable rate.

Positive signalProjection

Wilson's ceiling elevated with key pass-catchers injured; Browns' man-heavy defense favors deep shots.

Wilson's ceiling is far higher than usual this week despite a recent outlier game where the Jets ran just 32 plays (fourth-fewest in NFL history). With Breece Hall (quad), AD Mitchell (finger), and Mason Taylor (thumb) all still sidelined, Wilson was the WR15 on WR25 usage and WR3 on WR9 usage in the previous two outings. The Browns play man coverage at an elite rate (88 times, next closest is 57), which sets up a favorable 'ball up top' matchup. The Jets project for 21.0 points (21st) at home.
