Garrett Wilson (elbow) will be questionable on the injury report.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson suffered an apparent hand or wrist injury in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Wilson was being attended to by team doctors on the bench while the Jets defense was on the field, though it’s unclear when the injury may have occurred during play. He was able to return to the game, but is starting Week 11 off with a limited participation in Wednesday’s walkthrough.
#Jets injury report: Garrett Wilson shows up with an elbow injury, sustained on Sunday night. Maybe don’t let him throw the ball this week. Brown’s 21-day window goes until Thanksgiving. I’d expect the same OL as last week. pic.twitter.com/yyyvuP45z2

Wilson finished the Week 10 loss to the Raiders with 93 yards, bringing in nine of his 14 targets. He is finally getting on the same page with quarterback Zach Wilson, and even though it hasn’t resulted in team wins, it is an improvement for Garrett Wilson in fantasy. He has finished with at least seven receptions, 80 yards and 12 targets in four straight games. The lack of touchdowns certainly is concerning, but few players are getting as consistent of a target share as he is with the Jets.
If Wilson is active, you will start him against the Buffalo Bills in 12-team leagues or larger. If Wilson is inactive, New York will be in a rough spot. The Buffalo defense allows middle-of-the-road numbers to opposing wide receivers, but predicting which receiver will step up might be tough. Allen Lazard has the second-most targets among wideouts but has 55 fewer targets and 35 fewer receptions than Wilson. Unless you are looking for a DFS dart throw, avoid the Jets’ pass-catchers in fantasy football with no Wilson.
