Elite WR trade candidate; appears unhappy with Jets; Russell Wilson (49ers QB) publicly endorsed Wilson as ideal fit for 49ers, stating 'The 49ers have a chance, and if I'm Garrett Wilson, I'm checking out the 49ers. Kyle Shanahan should make the call'; Wilson can run every route and contrasts with Mike Evans' red-zone specialization; primary target if 49ers swing for a receiver upgrade.

Wilson's role has deteriorated significantly in recent weeks. Over the past two weeks, he has seen only 21 percent of the Jets' air yards and 15 percent of the team's targets, down sharply from his Week 1-4 profile (29 percent target share, 48 percent air yards share). Increased involvement from Omar Cooper Jr., Mason Taylor, and Adonai Mitchell could make things 'awfully dicey' for Wilson going forward.

Garrett Wilson finished Sunday with just two receptions for 26 yards on three targets while teammate Omar Cooper Jr. recorded 115 yards and a touchdown. Cooper has posted consecutive 100-yard performances while Wilson has failed to reach 45 yards in those same games. Over his last four games, Wilson has drawn fewer than seven targets and scored fewer than 8.5 points three times. With Geno Smith throwing more than 30 passes in just two games this season, Cooper's production threatens Wilson's target share and weekly ceiling, pushing Wilson into mid/low-end WR2 territory.

Wilson was visibly frustrated on the sidelines during the Jets' loss to Miami in Week 7, giving quarterback Geno Smith an earful with the team down four points in the fourth quarter. Despite Smith having a decent game (23/30, 287 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT), Wilson received only three targets, which appears to have been the source of his frustration.

Wilson saw just three targets in Week 7 after six the week before, with his target share potentially closer to 25 percent than 30 if Cooper continues thriving. He got just three of 12 one-wide formation snaps while Cooper got none, suggesting formation-based target distribution. Wilson remains the clear No. 1 for critical situations and has forced six missed tackles this year, but the target share compression is real.
