Quincy Enunwa-New York Jets

The Jets have one of the most widely-targeted WR sleepers this week after a mid-week announcement that Eric Decker will be out for at least this week and possibly the rest of the season. With Decker out of the picture, it’ll be time for even more production from Quincy Enunwa who was already an emerging option and one of my WR sleepers last week.

Enunwa didn’t deliver huge numbers last week, but he did lead the team in targets with 11 passes thrown his way on an absolutely brutal day for Ryan Fitzpatrick in Kansas City. He only hauled in four passes for 37 yards, but he did total 13 catches for 146 yards and a touchdown in the Jets first two contests of the season.

In the short term, Enunwa will be the Jets second WR which should allow him to continue his breakout season in his third year out of Nebraska. He isn’t a burner, but he does have nice possession-receiver skills. He can be started in PPR leagues and should be owned in all formats going forward.

The only reason I hesitate to say he can be started as a WR3 or flex play this week in all formats is his matchup. The Jets host the Seahawks this week, and after last week Ryan Fitzpatrick against he legion of boom is an extremely high-risk matchup.
