New York Jets at Kansas City Chiefs: Five Players to Watch
By Nick Ziegler
– Quincy Enunwa
Week 2 was another great week for wide receiver Quincy Enunwa. As the third option behind Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, Enunwa has been killing defenses that forget about him. In the Week 2 win, Enunwa did leave early with a rib injury, but luckily it isn’t anything major.
So far this season, Enunwa has totaled 13 receptions, 146 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. The versatility that Enunwa brings to the offense continues to be very valuable for the Jets. Being able to line Enunwa up in the slot, outside, or even in the backfield has left defenses very confused so far.
In addition to being able to line up in multiple positions, Enunwa is also causing matchup problems because of his size. At 225lbs, Enunwa has been able to play a very physical game on the outside and use his body to create separation from cornerbacks.
Even though the Jets don’t receive much production from the tight end position, Enunwa continues to look like a tight end for the offense. Due to Decker and Marshall both being a little banged up, Enunwa might be even a bigger part of the offense in Week 3 than we have seen in the previous two.
