The Jets wide receivers – especially outside of Percy Harvin and Eric Decker – have been dreadful this season. Quincy Enunwa was promoted to the active roster for Week 17. It may (and likely) will lead to nothing, but this along with Josh Boyce’s active roster status for this week are two noteworthy dynasty moves. At a minimum, add Boyce and Enunwa to the watchlist into the offseason. In a league with close to 25 roster spots (assuming 12 teams) or more? There is likely a way to squeeze Boyce and/or Enunwa in as a final flyer heading into January.
Quincy Enunwa has seen zero regular season action in 2014 and shifted from intriguing athletic talent to off the radar by the general dynasty populous in a matter of months. Here is the projection model need-to-know data on Enunwa:
Prototypical Size
At 6’2″ and 225 pounds, Enunwa is exactly what dynasty owners salivate over at the receiver position. He is a similar size to Allen Robinson and Donte Moncrief from the 2014 wide receiver class, and guys like Michael Floyd, Josh Gordon, Julio Jones, and Dez Bryant (yes, I cherry-picked a little bit) from previous years.
Above-Average Athleticism
Looking at the subset of receivers that are of similar size to Quincy Enunwa, the average athleticism score of the group is 56. Enunwa has an athleticism score of 66, about 18% higher. The names that remain are:
- Jeff Janis
- Mark Harrison
- Brandon Kinnie
- Greg Little
- Dez Bryant
- Larry Fitzgerald
- Jerry Porter
Bryant, Fitzgerald, and Janis are in a tier by themselves with their high production scores, but Enunwa is in a tier by himself – well above Porter (who did have three years as a fantasy starter) and the flameouts of the list. If Jeff Janis is sitting out there in a dynasty league, he is the preferred picked, but as a UTH reader-listener, one would have stashed him many months ago. Enunwa is the bargain bin poor man’s version of Janis…without Aaron Rodgers. I know, that is a horrible sell job, but we are collecting talents at this point in the season and they are available for a reason.
Enunwa has not played, has a big question mark at quarterback and was essentially a one-year wonder in terms of college production. That is why he is floating out there despite his prototypical size and running a 4.45 at 225 pounds. Know the risk, know the odds (hovering in the 4-8% range of turning into a fantasy starter), but aggressively stash Quincy Enunwa when roster depth allows.
