NeutralMatchup

Jets' two-high scheme (59%) matches Golden's strength, but defense ranks 8th in yards per target.

Golden faces a Jets pass defense that deployed two-high coverage at the tenth-highest rate (59%) in Week 1. Last year, Golden was more utilized against two-high, with target-per-route-run rate climbing from 14% (single high) to 21% and yards per route run increasing to 1.60 (1.34 vs. single high). The Jets allowed the eighth-fewest yards per target to perimeter receivers while ranking 16th in fantasy points per target allowed, suggesting a challenging but potentially manageable matchup.
