Should You Start or Sit Garrett Wilson in Week 17?
Wilson is a tough read these days. In Week 15, he was used as a field stretcher (16.5 aDOT) next to a productive Davante Adams, but last weekend, also alongside a strong Adams game, his average depth of target was a mere 6.9 yards.
I’m choosing to read that in multiple ways. Most importantly, it confirms the hierarchy of this receiver room—New York wants to get Adams going and will give Wilson the remaining routes, putting him in a less advantageous spot.
That’s the bad. The good is that they are confident that he can fill a variety of roles and that Aaron Rodgers has thrown the ball his way 33 times so far in December. It was a different offense back in Week 6, but Wilson was responsible for 34.8% of New York’s receptions, and that’s not a bad thing, even if Adams wasn’t on the roster.
I’ve got Wilson sitting just outside of my top 20 at the position, ranking in the Brian Thomas Jr. and DeVonta Smith tier.
