New York Jets: Quincy Enunwa a top fantasy sleeper
In fantasy football the sleepers make the difference in wins and losses. This week’s top New York Jets sleeper is wide receiver Quincy Enunwa.
When you play fantasy football, it good to have a great draft. That said, over the course of the season, whether it’s injury, matchup, or play, you will need to make moves to win week-to-week. According to Field Yates of ESPN, New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa is owned in only 9.2 percent of ESPN leagues.
If he’s available in your league, you better snatch him up. If you’re in a PPR league, it’s an even bigger must. He’s a reliable target for the young quarterback, and Sam Darnold will get him the ball with accuracy. So, not only will he get the catches, he has a chance to give yards after the catch.
Brian Griese kept referring to Enunwa as a wide receiver built like a running back in the Monday Night Football Broadcast. That means he provides a huge matchup advantage over most players covering him. He has the strength to create separation, and with the separation he’s able to gain yards after the catch.
He missed all of last season with a neck injury. That said, the last time he faced the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium — in 2016 — Ryan Fitzpatrick and Bryce Petty targeted him nine times. In the game against the Lions, he was targeted 10 times and had six catches, 63 yards, and a touchdown. The touchdown came on a 21-yard catch-and-run.

Of the four targets that were incomplete, only one was a drop from Enunwa. That shows he’s a reliable target too. The Jets will exploit the size advantage as much as they can, and expect Enunwa to be targeted similarly to how he was in Detroit. He’s definitely an add and start this week against the Dolphins.
