1. WHO STEPS UP WITH DAVIS OUT?

Corey Davis, the Jets’ high-paid receiver, is out for the rest of the season with a core muscle injury. either as he’s dealing with a quad injury that landed him on IR. So that means Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole, Braxton Berrios and Denzel Mims must raise their level of play. Zach Wilson needs the help going against a tough Saints defense.

2. MAKE THE SAINTS ONE DIMENSIONAL

The Jets have struggled defending the pass and the run. But they have to take away the run and . Last week he threw four INTs against the Cowboys. The Saints are getting four-time Pro Bowl running back Alvin Kamara, who suffered a knee injury in Week 9, back against the Jets. He’s a dual threat. He has 530 yards rushing with three touchdowns and 310 yards receiving with four scores. If the Jets can slow that attack down they’ll be in good shape.

3. RUN THE BALL

Since Wilson might be down both of his leading receivers, the Jets can’t put too much pressure on the rookie and have him throw it all day. That’ll lead to interceptions. The Jets will be without Tevin Coleman, who’s dealing with a concussion. Coleman was the lead back with Michael Carter out with an ankle injury. So, it’ll be on Ty Johnson, La’Mical Perine and Austin Walter to produce. If they can do that, then Wilson can play off of that.
