Garrett Wilson or Jaylen Waddle: Who Should You Start?

Wilson's volume floor beats Waddle's shakier role in Denver

Wilson is the unquestioned focal point in New York's offense, and a 30% target share at his catch radius travels against almost any coverage. Waddle's speed still shows up as a game-breaker, but a nine-point market gap in target share and a WR-2 slot behind a run-first Denver attack cap how often the ball actually finds him. The Jets' modest implied total is the one real drag on Wilson's ceiling, but his target volume covers for a mediocre offense in a way Waddle's efficiency-dependent role can't match. This isn't a blowout, but the gap in how each offense actually uses its receiver is bigger than the points projection alone suggests.

What flips it: A shift to more two-receiver Denver sets or a Wilson snap dip would flip this.
