Browns vs. Jets
Right now, Garrett Wilson’s receiving yards prop is set at 50.5 yards (-110/-110).
The public has bet the OVER up to 50.5 (-110) after it opened @ 45.5 (-110).
Pros
- The Jets will be starting backup QB Trevor Siemian in this week’s game, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.
- An extreme passing game script is suggested by the Jets being a huge -7-point underdog in this week’s game.
- Based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the New York Jets to pass on 61.3% of their downs: the 7th-greatest clip on the slate this week.
- Our trusted projections expect the Jets to run the 2nd-most plays on offense among all teams this week with 66.9 plays, accounting for their underlying propensities and game dynamics.
- Garrett Wilson has been less involved as a potential target this year (97.9% Route% in games he has played) than he did last year (86.4%).
Cons
- Opposing teams have averaged 32.3 pass attempts per game vs. the Browns defense this year: 4th-fewest in the league.
- When talking about pass protection (and the influence it has on all passing game stats), the offensive line of the New York Jets profiles as the 2nd-worst in the league this year.
- Garrett Wilson checks in as one of the most unreliable receivers in the league, catching a measly 59.1% of passes thrown his way (adjusted for context) this year, grading out in the 23rd percentile among WRs
- Garrett Wilson’s pass-game effectiveness has worsened this season, accumulating a measly 6.57 adjusted yards-per-target compared to a 7.63 mark last season.
- With a lackluster 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) (1st percentile) this year, Garrett Wilson ranks as one of the top WRs in the NFL in football in picking up extra yardage.
