Should You Start or Sit Garrett Wilson in Week 16?
With Davante Adams breaking out last week, Garrett Wilson posted his first game this season with single-digit expected PPR points (9.7). Even if you think that all is right in New York, that Aaron Rodgers has found himself, and that the vintage connection with Adams is sticky for the short term, you’re still playing Wilson as a fine WR2.
In Adams’ last strong Packer season, Robert Tonyan caught 11 touchdown passes, and I’ve long said “What is Garrett Wilson but a rich man’s Robert Tonyan?”
It’s getting overlooked because of the historic second half from Adams, but Week 15 started with all three of Rodgers’ first-drive passes going in the direction of Wilson (41 yards, TD).
The Rams are a bottom-10 defense when it comes to defending the deep ball in yards per attempt, yards per completion, interception rate, and touchdown percentage — Wilson is in a position to make a single target or two count in a significant way if you’re fearing his overall volume.
I’m not sold on the Jets being a juggernaut, but I’m not benching either of their top receivers.
