Garrett Wilson cleared from concussion protocol

All three of the Jets’ starting wide receivers are questionable to play, though Wilson practiced in full practice and is expected to play. Wilson could handle a hefty workload if he is indeed cleared to play, as expected, and one or two of the others are limited or ruled out. Wilson is a WR2 this week.

Glenn said Wilson has one more step to clear before he is out of the league’s concussion protocol. Wilson missed last week’s game against the Chiefs due to his brain injury, but has practiced in a limited capacity twice this week and is trending toward a return. We will get a final update on Wilson once he has officially cleared the protocol, but fantasy managers can start him as a mid-to-high-end WR2 in a game that could feature plenty of points against a high-powered Bills offense.

Wilson still needs to be officially cleared from concussion protocol to play, but two limited sessions have him with a real chance to be active in Week 10 after missing Week 9. If he can play, Wilson will likely be an upside fantasy WR2 against the Bills.

The Jets made it clear they were not moving Wilson early in the process, so we can’t imagine trade talks between them and either team made it very far. Cimini notes that the Jets could revisit a Wilson trade in the offseason. Wilson told reporters earlier this year that he loves it in New York, but he loves winning more. The Jets haven’t done much of that since Wilson was drafted. This will be a storyline to watch in the offseason, though we suspect he’ll remain in New York for the foreseeable future.

Wilson was sidelined in last week’s loss to Kansas City with the head injury he sustained in Week 8. Omar Cooper, Jr. functioned as the team’s top receiver with Wilson sidelined while Adonai Mitchell couldn’t reel in any of his seven targets from Geno Smith. Wilson would be a top-24 option in Week 10 against Buffalo if he can return to action. The Bills secondary allows the 13th highest fantasy points per target to boundary wideouts this season.

Wilson suffered a head injury last week and did not practice this week as he remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Look for Omar Cooper, Jr. and Adonai Mitchell to see more routes and targets against a tough KC secondary. Mitchell is likely to function as the team’s top wideout with Wilson sidelined.

Wilson has not practiced this week and has now been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. Wilson has caught 43 passes for 527 yards and three touchdowns this season and saw 12 targets in last week’s loss to the Raiders. His absence means both Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper should see expanded roles, but both players will be hard to trust as anything more than WR3s against a stout Chiefs defense. In addition to Wilson, the Jets also ruled out LB Trevin Wallace (groin) for Week 9.

Wilson did not practice on Wednesday and will go down as a DNP today as well. He is a long-shot to suit up for the Jets’ Week 9 game against the Chiefs. His absence will free up targets for Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper Jr. The two have alternated spike weeks and zeroes over their past two games. Now both should have stable fantasy floors for at least one game.

He was officially a DNP for Wednesday’s practice. Wilson sustained a head injury in Week 8 against the Raiders and now appears to be a long shot for Week 9. Wilson this season has accounted for 27 percent of the Jets’ targets and 38 percent of the team’s air yards. His absence would make both Adonai Mitchell and Omar Cooper flex-viable for Week 9, along with Mason Taylor. Cooper is coming off a game in which he saw no targets while running a route on 75 percent of the Jets’ drop backs.

Fresh off a three-target fiasco that prompted trade request denials from the Jets’ No. 1 wideout, Wilson was jammed the ball early and often. It was a clear, intentional commitment from Geno Smith and the Jets’ coaching staff. It still couldn’t prevent Wilson from once again getting out-shined by one of his positional mates, this time Adonai Mitchell. AD contributed an explosive 7/142/1 on nine looks. That’s now three 100-yard performances by Jets wideouts over the past three weeks with zero of them coming from Wilson. He still commands the most defensive attention, making life easier for Mitchell and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. Despite those frustrations and Wilson’s relative struggles, he will remain a must start for Week 9 against the Chiefs.
