The Lions offense will challenge the Jets defense much more than the woeful Packers or the awful Titans have so far, but the key for Garrett Wilson is how bad the Lions defense is. Their pass defense ranks 24th in EPA allowed, has given up the fourth-most WR fantasy points through two games, and now a thin, already-injured secondary has also lost Avontae Maddox to injured reserve. The Lions have allowed a league-high 5.0 red zone visits per game, along with the second-most receiving yards per game.

Wilson faces Lions' 24th-ranked pass defense; league-high red zone visits create eruption spot.

Garrett Wilson faces a Detroit Lions defense that ranks 24th in pass defense EPA, has given up the fourth-most wide receiver fantasy points through two games, and has a thin, already-injured secondary that has now lost Avontae Maddox to injured reserve. The Lions have allowed a league-high 5.0 red zone visits per game and the second-most receiving yards per game. Wilson has averaged 7.0 targets per game and 2.34 yards per route run, positioning this as the eruption spot his fantasy managers have dreamed of.
