NY Jets: Garrett Wilson has a juicy matchup vs. Bills

If Garrett Wilson wants to be the New York Jets‘ first first-team All-Pro receiver since Al Toon in 1986, he starts with a good matchup. While the Bills’ fourth-ranked defense by DVOA is seemingly not an advantageous opponent, it may be for the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year.

In his two 2022 matchups against Buffalo, Wilson caught 14 of 16 targets (87.5%) for 170 yards (12.1 yards per reception). He had nine first downs (64.3%), caught 2 of 3 contested targets, and posted a targeted passer rating over 109.0 both times.

Here are the defenders that Wilson matched up against:

  • Christian Benford: 1-for-2, 9 yards
  • Taron Johnson: 2-for-2, 20 yards, 1 first down
  • Dane Jackson: 3-for-3, 41 yards, 2 first downs
  • Damar Hamlin: 1-for-1, 2 yards
  • Kaiir Elam: 2-for-2, 23 yards, 1 first down
  • Siran Neal: 1-for-1, 24 yards, 1 first down
  • Tre’Davious White: 4-for-5, 51 yards, 4 first downs

The cornerback Wilson beat the most?
