Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson will give it a go Sunday against the Bills.<\/p>\n
After practicing in a limited capacity all week and receiving a questionable designation due to an elbow injury, he is officially active.<\/p>\n
This divisional matchup is crucial, as the Jets are nearing must-win territory to have hope of making the postseason. Currently sitting at 4-5 and third in the AFC East, they have a chance to leapfrog over Buffalo (5-5) for the No. 2 spot in the division and climb the ladder in the playoff race as a whole.<\/p>\n
Wilson’s presence is massive for New York’s chances of doing so.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old, who last week paced the team with nine receptions for 93 yards in a 16-12 loss to the Raiders, is also the Jets’ leading receiver in targets (95), receptions (55), receiving yards (642) and receiving touchdowns (two) on the season.<\/p>\n
Allen Lazard is the team’s second-leading wideout with 20 catches for 290 yards and a score, and Xavier Gipson is third among Jets WRs despite just four catches for 60 yards in 2023.<\/p>\n
Without Wilson, New York would have had to rely heavily on them stepping up.<\/p>\n
Instead, Jets fans can take a sigh of relief knowing their WR1 will be somewhere downfield.<\/p>\n
The Jets and Bills are set to kick off Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
