Jets, Garrett Wilson Agree to 4-Year, $130M Extension

One of the most deserved deals that had yet to be done up to this point, Garrett Wilson is locked in as the Jets’ unquestioned WR1 for the foreseeable future. As far as fantasy ramifications are concerned, the deal changes little - Wilson was set to lead the team in targets by a country mile regardless of whether or not he was playing on his rookie deal or a new extension, as beat reporters have suggested (jokingly, but still notably) that Wilson could clear 200 targets this season with former college teammate Justin Fields under center. While 200 might be hyperbole, it’s not a stretch to say that the target competition is as thin as it’s been for Wilson in his career with just Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, and Mason Taylor around to draw targets downfield. Of course, Breece Hall has been one of the most prolific and high-volume pass catching RBs over the first three years of his career and will see a solid target share of his own, but Wilson is far and away the best receiving talent and will likely be utilized as such by new OC Tanner Engstrand. Oh, and he’s been the second-most targeted WR since 1992 through his first three years of his career behind only Justin Jefferson (h/t Graham Barfield)
