Mike Williams’ absence points to looming Jets receiver problem

It appears that the fight for one football among the Jets’ many alphas already is brewing.

Wide receiver Mike Williams, who was called out by Aaron Rodgers for running the wrong route on a pass that sealed defeat last week, did not practice Wednesday due to unspecified personal reasons.

He figures to lose a lot of playing time to newly acquired Davante Adams .

Adams, Williams and Garrett Wilson are proven 1,000-yard receivers. Breece Hall essentially is a 1,000-yard rusher who already is losing carries to rookie Braelon Allen.

Allen Lazard, who, like Adams, goes way back with Rodgers, is tied for the NFL lead with five touchdown catches.

“The most important thing is winning,” Rodgers said. “I throw it to the open guy. The way the defense plays dictates where the ball goes.”

Lazard echoed that there is an easy way to keep a lot of playmakers happy. And it starts with turning around a 2-4 start.

“Winning keeps everyone happy,” Lazard told The Post. “I think that will do it. Winning cures a lot of things.”

The Jets might need to trade Williams and his one-year, $10 million contract if they can find a partner who believes that the NFL’s second-ranked active receiver in career yards per catch (15.5) still can make a big impact.

Signed as a free agent from the Chargers, Williams has started slowly after missing all of training camp, but he is now past the crucial one-year anniversary of his torn ACL reconstruction surgery.

He was not in the locker room Wednesday during media availability.

“When you put out [Adams], ‘G’ [Wilson], Allen or Mike, or [Xavier Gipson] and teams want to play two-high [safeties], you’ve got to run the ball,” Rodgers said. “I think Breece should be real happy, I think the line should be real happy and I think ‘G’ should be real happy.”

Rodgers compared the current crop of Jets pass-catchers to what he considers the “gold standard” of his career when the 2011 Packers grouped Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, James Jones, Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley.

All but the rookie Cobb had between 37 and 68 catches and between six and 15 touchdowns during a 15-1 season.

“There’s a lot of meat on the bone,” Adams said. “We’re not going to be sitting here fighting over that. I’m trying to make Garrett better, I’m trying to make Laz better. They’re trying to do the same for me.”

Adams was unhappy with his usage with the Raiders. Having too many playmakers sounds like a rich man’s problem, but it can cause locker-room headaches, as Williams’ absence suggests.

“[Our] defense just has to get them all the field so we can run 300 plays,” Adams quipped.

“At the end of the day, it’s not about me having a 100-yard game every single time. I have a lot of confidence I’ll be able to have success in this offense regardless of the situation, because I’m going to put the work in and the ball is going to get spread around. We have a quarterback who likes to sling it.”
