Garrett Wilson or Michael Pittman Jr.: Who Should You Start?

Wilson's target hog role beats Pittman's health question and new-offense uncertainty

Wilson is the clear engine of the Jets passing game, drawing nearly a third of the targets with no injury cloud, which is why he holds a top-15 weekly floor even in a game where the Jets aren't expected to score much. Pittman's situation looks appealing on the surface — a favorable implied total and a slight edge in game script — but he's playing through a questionable tag and pulling a smaller slice of a run-first Steelers offense. The gap in target share is the real story here: Wilson sees far more volume in an offense built around him, while Pittman is a complementary piece who needs the Steelers to lean pass-heavy to hit his ceiling. Health is the swing risk on Pittman's side, not scheme.

What flips it: Pittman clearing the questionable tag with a full practice week and PIT leaning pass-heavy against Atlanta.
