The New York Jets are 0-2 this season. Despite that sluggish start, here are three players whose stock is on the rise after Week 2.

The New York Jets are limping into their home opener this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Fresh off a 45-20 shellacking at the hands of the Oakland Raiders, New York will aim to capture its first victory of the 2017 campaign when they host their long-time division rival at MetLife Stadium.

Miami enters the game with a 1-0 ledger following its 19-17 triumph over the Los Angeles Chargers (I’m still not used to writing that). The Jets have a lot of work to do if they want to secure their first win of the season.

They have to shore up a defensive unit that has been gashed for 370 yards on the ground the last two weeks and 818 total yards in all. The offensive line has to step up and give quarterback Josh McCown more time to throw and open up more running lanes. Key offensive players like Bilal Powell and Robby Anderson have to come out of hiding and contribute to New York’s attack.

This season has been a mess so far. That’s not all that surprising actually. Despite the team’s struggles, here are three players that have seen their stock rise after the second week of action. Let’s take a look:
