Jets QB Zach Wilson completed 14 passes on 21 attempts for 140 passing yards with 1 TD and INT apiece in Week 1. The youngster relieved the injured Aaron Rodgers in Monday night's OT win vs. the Bills. The former No. 3 overall pick showed signs of why the franchise opted to replace him as the starter to begin with. WR Garrett Wilson batted the ball to himself with a couple of taps to record his receiving TD, if that says anything. Stay tuned for further updates regarding Rodgers' health ahead of Week 2 vs. the Cowboys. Jets HC Robert Saleh shared in the post-game press conference that "the MRI is probably going to confirm what [the Jets] already think" about the rumored Achilles injury for their starter. It's looking like fantasy managers will see Wilson start the rest of the way.
