Where do PFF place Jets' Geno Smith, Garrett Wilson on QB-WR ranking?
Here is where PFF put Jets' Geno Smith, Garrett Wilson on QB-WR ranking.
Pro Football Focus analysts recently ranked Geno Smith and Garrett Wilson as the 31st best quarterback-receiver pairing in the NFL, according to their Week 8 QB-WR partnership report. The connection produced 37 completions on 51 targets for 444 yards, three touchdowns, and 22 first downs, without an interception. Smith and Wilson's performance provides a solid foundation for the Jets' passing game, even as they work towards greater consistency.
In addition to Smith and Wilson, the Jets' tight ends also ranked within the top 100. Geno Smith's connection with tight end Mason Taylor ranked 57th with a 107.6 passer rating, while the pairing generated 14 receptions, two touchdowns, and six first downs on 18 targets. The pairing with rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq ranked 98th with an 86.1 passer rating, producing 16 receptions, a touchdown, and five first downs on 23 targets. However, the Taylor-Sadiq pairing also recorded an interception.
These rankings indicate that the Jets have multiple receiving options that can contribute to their passing game. Wilson leads the three pairings in passer rating, while Taylor's touchdowns and Sadiq's yardage offer different dimensions to the offense. The ultimate goal for the Jets is to turn these individual connections into a more consistent passing attack, which could help the team achieve greater offensive balance.
