Recording a target share of 30.4 percent (WR8), New York's alpha registered twice as many looks (7) and converted double the number of balls (6) of his fellow pass catchers... That sort of volume in a Week 2 matchup against the Packers should result in low-end WR1 fantasy numbers.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Wilson's 30% target share and Packers' weak WR defense project low-end WR1 Week 2 upside.

Wilson posted 14 fantasy points in Week 1 and dominated the Jets receiving corps, recording a 30.4% target share (WR8) with twice as many looks (7) and double the conversions (6) of his fellow pass catchers. He was supported by an effective Geno Smith, who closed Week 1 top-five in completion percentage (79.2%) and QBR (84.7). While the Jets won't face the Titans every week, that might work to Wilson's advantage; with his team likely an underdog for much of the season, Geno figures to throw more than 24 times per game. With an opportunity share above 25%, Wilson figures to regularly draw double-digit targets. That sort of volume in a Week 2 matchup against the Packers should result in low-end WR1 fantasy numbers. Green Bay's defense has struggled mightily without Micah Parsons; in the six games since Parsons was injured, the Packers defense has allowed 11 TDs to WRs with six wideouts posting at least 17 fantasy points. The source considers Wilson's comeback effort officially under way.
