Should You Start or Sit Garrett Wilson in Week 6?
Garrett Wilson has at least six catches and a touchdown in four of five games this season, and that’s obviously high-level production that we love to have access to.
You’re walking an awfully thin line.
The touchdowns over the past two weeks have come with less than two minutes on the clock, and the result was all but determined. They still count, don’t get me wrong, but they came when all optionality was removed from New York’s game planning.
You could argue that betting on a pass-centric game script is wise for a team that has yet to win a game, and I can’t say you’re wrong; it’s just a dangerous path to production. Generally speaking, I like to roster/start fantasy players that play in the direction the team wants to go (it’s why we always chase Chiefs receivers and generally run from those tied to Arthur Smith), and it’s clear that the Jets don’t view the forward pass as an optimal strategy.
Wilson’s target share and raw talent demand that you play him, and this hot run could continue after this tough matchup (Panthers and Bengals in Weeks 7-8). I’m just a little more skeptical than the industry seems to be.
