Jets Wire takes a stab at predicting Sam Darnold’s top-5 targets for the 2020 season.

In his debut season with Gang Green, Jamison Crowder was the team’s most reliable receiver.

Crowder caught 78 passes for 833 yards and six touchdowns while being targeted by Jets quarterbacks 122 times. Ever so consistent in the slot, Crowder owned a 24.8 percent target share, 11th-highest in the league in 2019.

If last season is any indication, Darnold clearly has a new favorite target. Crowder anchoring the middle of the field is an added bonus with the return of Herndon and a motivated Bell.
