Week 1 at Detroit Lions
Quincy Enunwas is trying to bounce back after missing most of the season with an injury. He was very good in 2016 and the Jets feel like he can return to that form.
Against an average Lions pass defense, Enunwa will get the start, but doesn't have enough value to be considered as a fantasy starter. He could end up having a big year, but it is a wait and see. Enunwa is a good player to have on the roster for depth but he should remain on the bench for Week 1.
Fantasy Upside
After missing the 2017 season, the Jets are hoping Quincy Enunwa can return to his 2016 form. He will be in the mix as either the No. 3 or No. 2 wide receiver. In 2016, he caught 58 passes and scored four touchdowns. Enunwa will be a threat for 100 targets and could end up being the Jets' best receiver.
Fantasy Downside
There are four legit NFL receivers on the Jets depth chart and they could end up being in any order. So, there are some question marks regarding Enunwa's role.
2018 Bottom Line
Enunwa could be a No. 1 or a No. 4 WR. That uncertainty leads to him being drafted in the late rounds with high potential. His ADP is around 236 overall, which is where he should be going.
Week 13 vs Indianapolis
Quincy Enunwa had his best game of the season with five catches for 102 yards and a touchdown last week. The Jets passing game was clicking and Enunwa was a major beneficiary, even though he was only targeted five times.
The Colts are up next and are 27th in aFPA to wide receivers. If Enunwa doesn't get more targets, we can't expect the same numbers. But because of the matchup, he does lend some value for Week 13. Start him as a flex and WR against Indy.
Week 12 vs New England
Qunicy Enunwa has had only two catches the last two games, so that right there is a problem. He is the Jets No. 2 wide receiver, but New York's passing game has been so inconsistent, you just don't know what you are going to get.
Enunwa will get snaps, but will he get targets? He probably won't see more than five, and that puts him on the bench for Week 12.
Week 10 vs Los Angeles
Quincy Enunwa had a very good game two weeks against Cleveland, but who doesn't? He followed it up with one catch for 25 yards. The Jets overall offense is a bigger issue so that affects all of New York's skill players.
For Week 10, Enunwa has a decent matchup against the Rams, but that's not enough to start him this week. Keep him on the bench.
Week 9 at Miami
That's back-to-back games with a touchdown reception for Quincy Enunwa, and he also led the Jets last week with 93 receiving yards. He has done a good job stepping in for the injured Eric Decker, and Enunwa has take advantage of one-on-one coverage, which makes him a good option on most Sundays.
This week, he faces a Miami team that is 30th in aFPA to wide receivers. He looks like a good start for Week 9 and ranks a solid WR3 or flex against the Fins.
Week 8 at Cleveland
Quincy Enunwa only had two catches last week, but they went for 73 yards and touchdown. He can make big plays downfield, but has only seen a total of nine targets over the last two weeks since replacing Eric Decker.
Enunwa has a great matchup against the Browns this week, who are 32nd in aFPA to wide receivers. This pushes Enunwa off the bench for Week 8 and into a WR3 or flex role in your lineup.
Week 7 vs Baltimore
It will be interesting to see Quincy Enunwa's usage with a new QB in Geno Smith. Enunwa is the solid No. 2 WR with Eric Decker out, but his numbers have been very average since the first couple weeks. Enunwa has not scored a TD since Week 1 and was only targeted five times last week in Arizona.
The Ravens pass defense is not every good, but the X factor is Smith. How good he plays and who he feels comfortable with in the passing game is a mystery. Even with a decent matchup, we would sit Enunwa for Week 7.
Week 6 at Arizona
Quincy Enunwa's stock is rising. With Eric Decker out for the season, Enunwa will move into the WR2 spot for the Jets. Last week, he caught four passes for 51 yards, but has not had a touchdown since Week 1. Expect his numbers to rise though with more snaps and targets.
For Week 6, he faces an Arizona defense that is 27th in aFPA to wide receivers. Even with the good matchup, we will wait to we see how much Enunwa is used (although it is expected to be more with Decker out). Keep him on the bench for Week 6.
Week 5 at Pittsburgh
