WR: Quincy Enunwa

Enunwa is the Hines Ward of the Jets. He’s the do-everything wide receiver the Jets need. He has the hands needed of a possession receiver. He can break tackles and break away from defensive backs as a result, and Enunwa strength allows him to be a presence in the running game. The only issue with him is his health.

Enunwa has missed a lot of time in his brief career with injury. That said, he has the ability, if healthy, to be a dangerous weapon for the Jets, especially with Adams in the backfield. If Enunwa plays all 16 games in 2018, expect the Jets to be instant contenders in the AFC East.

WR: Jarvis Landry (Free agent)

With the Robby Anderson arrest and the police report that followed, there’s no reason to hold on to him. It’s his second arrest in less than one year, and it involves threats against the family member of a police officer. He’s got to go.

There’s no doubt that Jarvis Landry is a No. 1 receiver in this league. He was targeted 156 times and caught 122 passes in 2017. According to Pro Football Focus Elite, his drop rate of 5.88 percent was 20th lowest in the NFL in 2017. He also set a career high in touchdowns with nine and was 13 yards shy of his third consecutive 1,000-yard season. He’s just what the doctor ordered for this situation.
