New York Jets wide receiver (WR) Jamison Crowder is a fantasy football sleeper and ADP value for the 2019 season. Taylor Maxston breaks down Crowder's value in fantasy drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~135 Overall
Current ADP: ~150
Coming over from Washington after an injury-marred 2018 campaign, Crowder can be described as a route technician out of the slot and has the ability to be an asset to fantasy owners in Jet green. Having played in 47 out of his first 48 games in the NFL, the Jets will be hopefully of having him on the field consistently in 2019. His catch% took a hit last year, but the combination of mixed quarterback play in Washington alongside his injuries mean that conclusions about his ability to bring in passes should not be made off that season alone.
The slot receiver has always played a role in head coach Adam Gase's offenses and Crowder has caught at least 59 passes in each season he has played at least 15 games. Further, quarterback Sam Darnold has a propensity to target slot receivers. Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse filled that role at different points last season, with Enunwa receiving 37 targets over the first four weeks and Kearse subsequently getting 48 targets over the following six weeks. Crowder offers the opportunity for the Jets to get a receiver who has proven to be reliable and averaged four touchdowns and close to 750 yards in his first three seasons with the Redskins.
