New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson could not bring in any of his three targets in Saturday's 31-12 loss to the New York Giants. Quarterback Justin Fields attempted just five passes across the Jets' two series, with three of them going the 25-year-old's way. However, Wilson was arguably interfered with on two of his three opportunities, so the former Ohio State teammates aren't totally to blame for the seeming lack of chemistry. Either way, it appears that the wideout will be a target-hog again in his fourth professional campaign. A run-heavy New York offense could cause touchdown opportunities to be sparse. Wilson should be productive anyway, given the lack of receiving options around him. Look for him and his new QB to notch their first connection in the Jets' preseason finale, a home matchup with the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

After sitting out of his team's first preseason game, Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams led the Bears on a seven-play, 92-yard opening drive on Sunday Night that ended with a 35-yard TD pass. Over his 13 total snaps, he completed six of 10 passes for 107 yards and a 103.6 passer rating to go with his lone TD pass. According to head coach Ben Johnson, William's preseason debut came during his best stretch of training camp. "I thought really the three days of practice we had this week and this game were the most he's stacked up good days in a row right now," said Johnson. "The challenge is going to be keep pushing that direction." Williams enters year two after a disappointing rookie season with notable improvements to his pass protectors, playmakers, and playcaller. If he can continue to make strides in Johnson's fantasy-friendly system, he could be a late-round steal as RotoBaller's current QB12.
