Garrett Wilson Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

QB Justin Fields delivered arguably the best game of his career, completing 16 of 22 passes for 218 yards with a TD and no INTs. He added 12 carries for 38 yards and two goal-line scores. Fields showed command of the offense, with OC Tanner Engstrand tailoring playcalling to his strengths through read options and play action.

Jets G Alijah Vera-Tucker will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn tricep, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's a big loss for a Jets team that wants to lean on the run this year. Vera-Tucker ranked 12th among 66 qualifying Gs in both Pro Football Focus run- and pass-blocking grades. last season. We'll see how New York reshuffles the offensive line, with veterans Joe Tippmann, Josh Myers, and Chuks Okorafor candidates to replace Vera-Tucker. But this is a concern for QB Justin Fields, WR Garrett Wilson, and the Jets RBs.

The Jets and WR Garrett Wilson agreed to a four-year, $130 million extension with $90 million guaranteed. That's the fourth-most guaranteed money for a WR. Wilson's $32.5 million average annual salary is the fifth-highest at the position. Wilson is now signed with the Jets through the 2030 season.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn was asked recently what he's learned about WR Garrett Wilson so far. His response: “Give him the ball as much as possible. Give him the ball as much as possible. That’s it.”

To the surprise of probably no one, the Jets did not manage to find a team interested in trading for WR Davante Adams. Instead, multiple reports say they're releasing the veteran wideout.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Jets are "taking calls" on a potential trade for WR Davante Adams. If the team can't move him that way, it's expected to release Adams. The WR carries $38.3 million cap hits for each of the two years remaining on his contract. According to Spotrac, though, the Jets would save more than $60 million in cap space over that span by unloading Adams.

The Jets are hiring Tanner Engstrand as their OC under HC Aaron Glenn, insider Jordan Schultz reports. Engstrand has been with Detroit since 2020, working his way up from offensive assistant in 2020 and 2021 to passing game coordinator under OC Ben Johnson for the last three seasons. Engstrand started his career at the University of San Diego in 2005. His only OC experience came with the UFL's DC Defenders in 2020. That squad ranked fifth in the eight-team league in both yards and points. We'll see what Engstrand learned in Detroit over the past five years, but he's largely a mystery when it comes to what he'll mean for the Jets' offense in 2025.

The Jets are hiring Aaron Glenn as their new HC, according to multiple reports. It's a homecoming for Glenn, who was the Jets' first-round pick back in 1994. He played eight seasons with the team, earning two Pro Bowl nods. Glenn played through the 2008 season and took his first coaching job in 2014. He was a DBs coach for the Browns and Saints before taking over as Lions DC in 2021. Detroit climbed from 31st in points allowed in Glenn's first season to seventh this past year, despite a ton of injuries. We'll see who Glenn chooses to run his offense. We've heard current Lions QBs coach Mark Brunell mentioned as a candidate. Of course, the biggest question in New York is whether QB Aaron Rodgers will return for the 2025 season. Stay tuned.

The forecast for today's Jets-Bills game calls for a 45-60% chance of rain throughout the contest with sustained winds of 15 mph and gusts around 30 mph. They're far from ideal conditions but shouldn't kill either passing game. The game still has a 44.5-point over/under, with the Bills implied for 27.25 points. We're not adjusting our projections for this one.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers is "uncertain" for Sunday's game vs. the Bills due to a knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll look for more details on the injury and track Rodgers' status throughout the week. His absence would put QB Tyrod Taylor under center for New York. He's a capable backup but would be a downgrade for WRs Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson. Rodgers has played well lately, completing 64% of his passes and 8.0 yards per attempt with five TDs over his last three games.

Jets QB Aaron Rodgers had one of his best games of the season in today’s loss to the Dolphins, throwing for 339 yards, one TD, and 0 INTs. Sunday marked his first game over 300 yards since December 12, 2021.

Jets WRs Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson each caught five passes in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Adams led the team, though, in targets (12) and receiving yards (66), and caught one of two Aaron Rodgers TD passes. Wilson drew 10 targets and tallied 41 yards.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini hears that it's "increasingly likely" that Jets QB Aaron Rodgers will be placed on IR or benched over the next few weeks. Russini adds that "no decisions have been made yet." But it's become clear over the last month that Rodgers has no future with the Jets beyond 2024, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the team pull the plug early.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson was targeted eight times but only caught four passes for 18 yards in the Jets loss to the Colts. WR Davante Adams caught six of seven targets for 72 yards however.

The Jets offense struggled mightily as a whole, but WR Davante Adams' 13 targets led the team. He only was able to bring in six for 31 yards. Teammate Garrett Wilson only caught five of six targets for 41 yards while RB Breece Hall had 83 total yards in the game and no scores.

Jets WR Davante Adams sealed the win on Thursday night with a 37-yard TD on a slot fade late in the fourth quarter. Adams beat CB Jalen Pitre with a quick release at the line of scrimmage and created a few steps of separation to make it an easy throw for QB Aaron Rodgers. It was Adams' first TD as a Jet and part of a strong 7-91-1 outing. Adams and Rodgers struggled getting on the same page in the first half, connecting on just four of eight targets for 25 yards. But they were on point over the final 30 minutes, including a key 17-yarder on fourth-and-one in the third quarter. Adams' head hit the turf at the end of that catch. He went into the locker room to be checked for a concussion but was cleared to return, setting up the fourth-quarter TD.

Jets WR Garrett Wilson went for 113 yards on 5 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. He led the team in both categories and also drew a team-high 8 targets.

Jets WR Davante Adams wasn’t limited in his first game with the Jets. Coming off a hamstring strain, the veteran played 55 snaps and ran 39 routes – only one fewer than Garrett Wilson. Still, Adams caught only 33% of his targets in Sunday’s blowout loss to Pittsburgh.

New Jets WR Davante Adams is "planning" to play vs. the Steelers on Sunday night, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see if Adams' (alleged) hamstring injury impacts his practice week. Considering his long history with QB Aaron Rodgers, we'd expect his transition to a new team to be much smoother than it is for most WRs who move in-season. The matchup is tough against Pittsburgh's fourth-ranked WR defense, but Adams will certainly be startable for most fantasy teams.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Raiders are finalizing a deal to send WR Davante Adams to the Jets for a conditional draft pick that could become a second-rounder at peak.
