2. Quincy Enunwa — WR, New York Jets (10% Owned)

If you think the Jets offense can’t produce three reliable fantasy football wide receivers, think again. We all know about Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker in the Jets offense, but Enunwa is starting to turn some heads after two weeks.

In those two weeks Enunwa has only two fewer targets than Marshall and one fewer than Decker. However, he leads the team in receptions (13) and his second in receiving yards (146).

Just as we saw last season, Jets offensive coordinator Chan Gailey does not feature the tight end in their passing game. After two games, there isn’t a tight end on the Jets roster who has recorded a reception.  That’s the main reason why the Jets are capable of having three contributing receivers.

Right now, Marshall is dealing with a knee injury and Decker his dealing with a shoulder injury. As of right now, both are more than likely going to play on Sunday. Yet, this is just one more reason to add Enunwa. Not only does he have standalone value but if either of those two wide receivers were to miss extended time with an injury, Enunwa would be a solid WR2.
