New York Jets

This is a committee. Garrett Wilson holds 28.5% of the targets, and the 17 tracked pass-catchers project for 29 receptions and 321 receiving yards in week 7.

Full New York Jets depth chart — every player who took a snap, ranked by how many.

Also on the New York Jets: Geno Smith (quarterback), Jason Sanders (kicker), New York Jets D/ST (defense).

What this staff chooses

The New York Jets run more than the situation calls for: pass rate over expectation -2.3%, 18th of 32, on 57 plays a game (22nd). Raw pass rate is 56.0%, but that follows the scoreboard — a trailing team throws. PROE subtracts the league rate for the same down, distance and score, so what is left is the CHOICE.

Pass rate over expectation is the most repeatable offensive trait we measure: split the season into odd and even weeks and a team agrees with itself at 0.84. Most things a defense does sit near 0.32.

The line, and the front it faces

The offensive line has allowed pressure on 24.4% of dropbacks (22nd) and opened 1.99 yards before contact a carry (28th). The defense pressures the quarterback on 26.3% of opposing dropbacks (11th).

What this defense concedes

Of the passes thrown at the New York Jets, 62% go to receivers, 22% to tight ends and 17% to backs. Opponents average 6.41 yards a target (7th).

Read this half with more caution than the half above. How a defense DISTRIBUTES the targets it faces repeats moderately — 0.34 for backs, 0.23 for receivers, 0.09 for tight ends. How many YARDS it allows a tight end per target repeats at 0.02, which is indistinguishable from chance. "Weak against tight ends" is the least reproducible claim in this dataset and one of the most repeated.

Season by season

This staff is calling it much as it has: pass rate over expectation -2.3% this season against -2.9% across the previous 10 seasons.

Pass rate over expectation subtracts the league rate for the same down, distance and score, so it is what the STAFF chose rather than what the scoreboard forced. It repeats at 0.84 (Spearman-Brown), the most reliable offensive trait measured in this project.

Regular-season averages. Points scored carries further year to year than points allowed, which is the same asymmetry that runs through everything here: offense reproduces, defense mostly does not.

Who owns the targets

Trailing target share, largest first. Target share reproduces at 0.92 between halves of a season, so this is a stable picture of the pecking order rather than a snapshot of one good game.

The ground game

Projected for 29 carries and 109 rushing yards, with Breece Hall taking 52% of the work. Carries per game is the second most repeatable thing a player has — 0.97 between halves of a season — so a backfield split holds up far better than a touchdown rate does.

Whose role has changed since last season

Snap share this season against last, for anyone who has moved at least six points. This is the input the model leans on hardest early in a year, because snap share is already reliable at 0.84 after two games while receptions manage 0.66.
