WIDE RECEIVERS

The one impact player on the Jets this season has been without question Jermaine Kearse. While most people talk about the Jets getting a second round pick in the deal with Seattle, Kearse could become the best part of that trade if he continues to play like this for the Jets.

Despite not fully knowing the playbook, Kearse had another big game hauling in four of his five targets for a team high 64 yards and two touchdowns. If Kearse can keep this up he could be one of the best building blocks for the team moving forward.

The rest of the unit was also solid Jeremy Kerley in his first game back hauled in all three of his targets while five receivers all had a catch for New York.

While many of the units have struggled so far in 2017, one of the few bright sports has been the receiving core which has been bolstered by the addition of Kearse.
