If the New York Jets are going to beat the Miami Dolphins on Monday night and secure their first win of the season, they're going to need a lot out of wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

As expected, Wilson is once again the Jets' top receiver in 2025. Through three games, the Ohio State product has 229 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

However, Wilson is off to a quiet start in the Week 4 game against the Dolphins on Monday night.

Here's a look at what's going on.

Is Garrett Wilson playing tonight?

UPDATE: Wilson has his first catch of the night!

It came on New York's second offensive series of the game and went for eight yards.

END OF UPDATE

Wilson is active, healthy and on the field, he just hasn't been targeted yet.

New York went run-heavy on the opening drive because it was working, but that also meant quarterback Justin Fields only threw the ball once.

Wilson should get going once Wilson starts throwing the football more.
