1. Quincy Enunwa, WR – New York Jets (37% Owned)

Well, I’m shocked the guy is still available in so many leagues. But he is and owners need to jump all over him. After two weeks it was clear Enunwa had a role in the Jets offense when he hauled in 13 receptions for 146 receiving yards on 14 targets. It didn’t matter that he was the Jets No. 3 receiver because he was still seeing enough targets to be considered relevant.

Now, the Jets WR2 in Eric Decker is dealing with a shoulder injury that could not only keep him out for another week but possibly the season.

In his first full game as the Jets No. 2, Enunwa had six receptions and 60 receiving yards in a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. He now has at least six receptions in three out of four games this year. His 23 receptions and two touchdown receptions leads the team heading into Week 5.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown nine interceptions over the last two games. That number will come down and the Jets will be able to sustain more drives. When that happens, Enunwa will see more targets and opportunities on top of the success he has already had.
