Fantasy Football: One Breakout Candidate From Every NFL Team
Quincy Enunwa, WR, New York Jets
The New York Jets are going to be bad, but this could be a busy season for Quincy Enunwa.
Enunwa served as the team's number-two wideout last year after Eric Decker went down, and he fared pretty well, totaling 58 catches for 857 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Our metrics were a big fan, especially as compared to the two other Jets receivers who saw at least 40 targets last year.
| 2016 Jets WRs | Targets | Reception NEP/Target | Success Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quincy Enunwa | 105 | 0.65 | 82.75% |
| Brandon Marshall | 129 | 0.57 | 91.66% |
| Robby Anderson | 78 | 0.61 | 80.95% |
The league average Reception NEP per target for wideouts last season was 0.66, so Enunwa was basically a league-average producer. He was, however, a lot more productive on a per-target basis than any other Jets receiver, although Marshall still had a sparkling Success Rate.
Marshall's 129 targets are gone, so there's breakout potential for both Robby Anderson and Enunwa. The likely trainwreck the Jets will have at quarterback caps the ceiling of all the team's receivers, but we project Enunwa to lead the group in catches, yards, and touchdowns.
