Is Garrett Wilson playing today? Why Jets WR is off to slow start in Week 7 image
Garrett Wilson is once again serving as the New York Jets' No. 1 wide receiver this season.
Entering Week 7, Wilson led all pass-catchers with 35 catches for 418 yards and three touchdowns.
However, Wilson is nowhere to be found in the first half of the Week 7 game against the Cleveland Browns.
Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is Garrett Wilson playing today?
Yes, Wilson is active and healthy, he just hasn't been targeted in the game yet.
Honestly, it's hard to say what's going wrong. Geno Smith just isn't looking Wilson's way.
One possible explanation is Wilson is getting heavy coverage from Denzel Ward, who is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.
Hopefully the second half yields better results for Wilson. On the bright side, the Jets are losing by two scores, which should lead to more passing and more opportunities for Wilson.
