The Jets invested heavily in revamping their offensive weaponry in 2021 when they brought in Corey Davis and then drafted Elijah Moore with an early second-round pick, but they weren't done yet. This offseason saw New York use a top-10 pick on Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson who went for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior for the Buckeyes before declaring for the Draft.
Wilson brings an interesting skill set that should allow him to get on the field right away. Unlike most collegiate receivers, Wilson was moved all around the field, spending time both outside and in the slot throughout his three years in one of college football's most productive offenses. His versatility is certainly one of his strongest assets and the NFL is trending toward prioritizing those types of wide receivers. Wilson is a big play threat with strong hands and while he lacks top-level route running, he has the ability to turn short passes into big gains which is exactly what the Jets offense needs given Zach Wilson's questionable accuracy.
He's more of a dynasty asset than someone who fantasy owners should be excited about for 2022, but an injury to Moore or Davis - both of whom missed significant time in 2021 - could mean every down work for Wilson, which would certainly boost his fantasy value. This isn't expected to be a high-volume passing attack, though, so don't invest a top-100 pick on him in seasonal leagues.

 Zach Wilson to start for the Jets
Mike White out
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 16, 10:36 am
|  | Sources: Jets doctors will not clear QB Mike White for contact before Sunday’s game vs. Detroit and thus Zach Wilson will start against the Lions. White wanted to play and has practiced but Jets doctors are not signing off. Thus, Wilson is back as the Jets’ starting QB. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It's back to Zach as White is dealing with a rib injury after taking multiple shots to the chest last week against the Bills. For the most part, Wilson hasn't been great this season, delivering one spiked week against the Patriots (Wk8). Otherwise, he's been a low-end QB2 most weeks. This hurts the value of Garrett Wilson and slightly dings Zonovan Knight as the offense isn't likely to be as efficient.
