Garrett Wilson is even better at fantasy football with Davante Adams

Well folks, it looks like Garrett Wilson is finally reaching the fantasy expectations we all expected him to achieve this season.

After scoring a combined 43.6 fantasy points in his first four games, the talented receiver has exploded in the stats over the last five games.

Furthermore, Davante Adams’ presence hasn’t hurt Wilson’s value at all. In fact, it helped.

We saw that last night, when Wilson posted nine catches for 90 yards with two touchdowns and 30 points. One of those touchdowns was a Matrix-esque catch that ranks right up there with the best catches ever made in an NFL game. In the three games since Adams was traded to the Jets, he has seen no fewer than eight goals and is averaging nine goals per game.

Additionally, Wilson averaged 19.8 points per game in these three games. That’s an increase from 3.6 points per game when he played without Adams on the court.

Speaking of Adams, he had his best game as a Jet with seven catches, 91 yards and a touchdown in a win over the Texans. That amounted to 22.1 points, his second-best total of the season.

As expected, Adams has also made Aaron Rodgers more valuable in fantasy football.

In his six games without DA, the veteran marksman averaged 14.2 points. In the three games with him, Rodgers’ average points per game has increased to 17 points. That includes his 20.3-point performance against Houston’s defense on Thursday night.

So while the Jets haven’t been great in terms of real football (they lost their first two games with Adams before last night’s win), his presence has been very good for fantasy fans.
