At the present time, the 4th-most pass-heavy team in football (63.1% context-neutralized) according to the projections is the New York Jets.New York's passing stats since the start of last season may be artificially deflated (and rushing stats propped up a bit) as a result of playing the most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the NFL. We should be able to expect some regression with improved conditions in this week's contest.The leading projections forecast Mike Williams to be a more important option in his team's passing attack this week (12.0% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (5.6% in games he has played).Mike Williams ranks in the 78th percentile when it comes to wideouts since the start of last season with a monstrous 23.4% of his offense's air yards accumulated.Mike Williams is positioned as one of the best possession receivers in the league, hauling in an excellent 72.7% of balls thrown his way (adjusted for context) since the start of last season, checking in at the 83rd percentile among WRs.
