STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Wilson targeted just 3 times last game; out-targeted by Tre Tucker despite elite talent.

Elite talent being severely underutilized by Jets offense; targeted just 3 times in most recent game despite being a clear WR1. Over last 4 games, Wilson has 24 targets for 16 catches and 1 TD, while Tre Tucker (not an elite prospect like JSN, Ja'Marr, or Puka) has 32 targets for 18 catches and 3 TDs in the same span. Comparison context: other WR1s on bad teams (Malik Washington 26 targets, Carnell Tate 31 targets, Chris Olave 35 targets in last 4 games) receive far more volume despite similar team circumstances. Source emphasizes Jets need to target Wilson way more and identifies Raiders secondary weakness as opportunity for Wilson statement game.
