The Jets are a 3-point underdog this week, likely leading to a passing game script.

THE BLITZ projects Garrett Wilson to earn 9.3 targets in this game, on average, putting him in the 93rd percentile among wide receivers.
Garrett Wilson has been a big part of his team’s pass game, earning a Target Share of 23.3% this year, which puts him in the 86th percentile among WRs.

Cons
The weatherman calls for 12-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and worse passing efficiency.
Garrett Wilson has been among the weakest wide receivers in football at picking up extra yardage, averaging just 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this year while grading out in the 1st percentile.
The Buffalo Bills pass defense has been quite strong when opposing wideouts have gotten into space, giving up an average of 3.27 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 2nd-least in football.
The Buffalo Bills linebackers profile as the 4th-best LB corps in football this year in covering receivers.
The New York Jets have faced a stacked the box on a mere 13.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-least in the league. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
