2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Quincy Enunwa

The sky is blue, water is wet, and the Jets are an utterly terrible team. These statements are all things I consider to be objective truth.

There are not many impressive options on the Jets, if you are looking for fantasy production. However, if you dig deep enough, you will eventually hit gold. Last year, Quincy Enunwa came out of nowhere and became a hot waiver wire walk-on.

Enunwa will continue his ascent to fantasy relevance in 2017, especially given the otherwise talentless Jets offense. Here are some reasons to consider the young wide receiver as a late-round value pick in your fantasy football draft.

Editor's Note: Our incredible team of writers won two writing awards and received 12 award nominations by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association. A big congrats to our very own Byron Lindeque (Golf) and Jordan McAbee (NASCAR) for both winning Writer Of The Year awards! Be sure to follow RotoBaller's analysis and advice all year long, and win more. Win More With RotoBaller!

 

Opportunity is Everything

With an ADP of around Round 12, Enunwa doesn’t need to wow us. He merely needs to be better than some of his WR peers, such as Kevin White (has he played a game yet?), Laquon Treadwell (see: Kevin White), and John Brown (this is the year!). When you compare Enunwa’s 58/857/4 line (Receptions/Yards/Touchdowns) to those around him, if becomes no contest. Brown, who is actually going 19 picks ahead of Enunwa, finished the season with a 39/517/2 line.

Of course there are some players going much ahead of Enunwa on the basis of potential, not proven production. Players such as Cameron Meredith and DeVante Parker have either flashed great potential, or have had an opportunity open up for them. However, a large part of the sell on Quincy Enunwa is that a lot of the changes on the Jets roster, while bad for the team, are great for him.

The Jets lost both Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker in this offseason. To put that into perspective, those two players consisted of 38% of the Jets target share, and that was with Decker missing most of the season. On top of that, Enunwa was another 26% of the target share. The team didn’t add any notable receivers, so it can be assumed that this 38% is going to be mainly split up amongst the core of Qunicy Enunwa, Charone Peake, and Robby Anderson.

Enunwa was easily the most reliable of the three, given his higher catch percentage, greater target count, and higher YPR. In fact, Quincy Enunwa was so reliable last year, that he outperformed the Jets' WR1, Brandon Marshall. Enunwa had 69 more yards than Marshall on 23 less targets. He also had more touchdowns and a much higher catch percentage.

In the interest of candor, there is one glaring flaw with the waiver wire gem that I am gushing on about. Last year, Enunwa had the liberty of having Brandon Marshall to draw the top corners away. Without that luxury, he will be left on islands with the likes of Darby, Bouye, Haden, Trufant, and other imposing corners. Whether or not Enunwa can continue producing after the bump in opposition is definitely something to consider before drafting him.

Another question to ask before drafting Enunwa is when should he be drafted. Enunwa’s ADP puts him around mid-12th round. Considering the previous points regarding talent, passing attack share, and opportunity, Enunwa deserves consideration a round or two before then. He will almost certainly provide more return on investment than some Round 10 receivers such as John Brown and Tyrell Williams. Given this,  Enunwa should be considered a priority high upside pick past Round 10.
