8 WRs hoping to torch Sean Desai and the Eagles secondary in 2023
Garrett Wilson looks to build on an outstanding rookie campaign while Justin Jefferson can be expected to continue proving his greatness.
The New York Jets had the fourth-worst scoring offense in the NFL last season. They only put up 17.4 points per game. That’s why they went out and acquired Aaron Rodgers. If you want to blame Garrett Wilson. He came out guns-a-blazing in his rookie season, posting 1,103 receiving yards with four touchdowns in 17 games.
He eclipsed 100 yards receiving on three separate occasions. Three times, he was so close to the 100-yard benchmark as he notched over 90 yards in those games. The Jets’ issues at quarterback have been addressed. Garrett should reach another 1,000-yard season and haul in more touchdowns as a result after winning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors last season.
Since entering the league in 2020, Justin Jefferson has eclipsed over the 1,000 yards receiving every year that he has been a professional. The three-time Pro Bowler recorded 128 catches for 1,809 yards with eight touchdowns during the 2022 season. As a result, he was voted 2022 Offensive Player of the Year award.
Jefferson enjoyed nine games last season where he surpassed the 100-yard receiving mark and even recorded a 223-yard day in a Week 14 loss versus the Detroit Lions. He came seven yards short of adding another 200-yard game in a Week 10 win over the Buffalo Bills. The Eagles held him to six receptions for 48 yards in Week 2. Darius Slay was brilliant in that one. Might Philly be able to phase the former LSU wide receiver out of Minnesota’s game plan again?
