New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (neck) says that he is not giving up on playing in the NFL again. He will battling a career-threatening neck injury that will cost him the 2020 season. Enunwa missed the 2017 season with a neck injury and only played one game in 2019 before reinjuring himself. After the 2020 season he will have missed almost three of the last four seasons. The 27-year-old receiver wants to play again, but knows that isn't under his control. He is under contract through the 2021 season, but it's unclear if he'll actually play again.
The New York Jets placed wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (neck) and Josh Bellamy on the reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, meaning that both players will miss the entire 2020 season. Enunwa was a promising wideout for the Jets, but he missed the 2017 and 2019 seasons due to a serious neck injury, and his career is hanging on by a thread because of it. He averaged at least 11 yards per catch over three seasons for Gang Green. Bellamy, 31 this month, caught just two passes for 20 yards in seven games in his lone season with New York last year. Breshad Perriman and Jamison Crowder are set up to be the team's top two receivers heading into the 2020 season.
New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas acknowledged that wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (neck) remains a "big question mark" heading into the 2020 season and beyond. Enunwa played in just one game in 2019 before being shut down for the year, and he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. He also played in just 1 games in 2018 due to neck and back issues, and it's unknown if he'll ever be 100 percent again, which makes it hard for the Jets to rely on him behind Breshad Perriman and Jamison Crowder. If healthy, the 27-year-old (28 in May) wideout would likely be the team's No. 3 receiver, but he'll have to compete with Josh Doctson and Vyncint Smith and prove he's healthy in training camp.
New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas said the team is "hopeful" that wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (neck) will play football again. Enunwa played in just one game in the 2019 season and was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. His career remains up in the air, but the Jets need all the receiver help they can get with Robby Anderson likely departing in free agency. The wideout also missed five games in 2018 and is an extreme injury risk if he returns to play for Gang Green in 2020. Fantasy owners would be wise to take a wait-and-see approach with him if he continues his career.
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (spine) has been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, but he remains hopeful of playing in 2020. If he does continue playing next season, it's unlikely to be with the Jets. Enunwa missed all of the 2017 season with injuries and has played in just 12 games in the last two years. The 27-year-old did have 58 catches for 857 yards and four touchdowns for Gang Green in 2016, but that was right before the injuries started to pile up. There's no guarantee that Enunwa would be fantasy relevant next year if he's playing.
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (neck) said that doctors told him there's a 50 percent chance that he can resume his NFL career after two serious neck injuries in the last three seasons. He was also recently fined $27,900 by the Jets for missing two treatments. Enunwa had a breakout year in 2016 with 857 yards and four touchdowns, but he missed all of the 2017 season and has played in just 12 games the last two years. He's obviously well off the fantasy radar and may never play again. The Jets are moving forward with three-wide sets consisting of Jamison Crowder, Robby Anderson and Demaryius Thomas.
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (neck) will miss the rest of the season after suffering a neck injury in the Week 1 loss to the Bills. Enunwa also missed the entire 2017 season due to a serious neck issue after injuring himself in training camp, but it's unclear if this new neck issue is career-threatening. He had just one catch for minus-four yards on three targets last Sunday. It'll now be Robby Anderson, Jamison Crowder and newly acquired Demaryius Thomas in three-wide sets for Gang Green, with Chris Herndon IV set to return from his suspension in Week 5. Crowder, who had a league-high 17 targets in Week 1, was a top waiver wire addition even before Enunwa's injury was announced.
Quincy Enunwa Excited For Fresh Start In Jets Offense
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa is excited about all of the upgrades to the offense as he enters his fifth year with the team. Enunwa said, "It just feels like we're having a fresh start," on the additions of running back Le'Veon Bell, center Ryan Kalil and a brand new coaching staff that hopes to improve an offense that ranked 23rd in scoring offense from last season. Enunwa is the third option on the receiving depth chart but could be a sneaky PPR play in deep leagues for the first four weeks of the season as the big-bodied receiver should be used as a quasi-tight end with starting tight end Chris Herndon suspended for the first four weeks.
New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (groin) suffered a groin injury during Tuesday's workout, although the club does not feel as if the injury is serious. In fact, Enunwa tried to continue, but the team decided to take the conservative approach. "I think we're (taking precautions) with him right now," head coach Adam Gase said. "It's just we don't want to take any chances letting him go out there and hurt himself even more. He was doing some stuff in the AlterG inside. I think he'll be all right next week." When healthy, Enunwa falls into the WR5 neighborhood in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.
The New York Jets agreed to a four-year deal worth a maximum value of $36 million with wide receiver Quincy Enunwa on Friday, according to a league source. The deal also includes an injury guarantee worth just more than $20 million. The sixth-round pick has been limited by injuries in his five seasons in the NFL and caught 38 passes for 448 yards and a touchdown in 11 games in 2018. Enunwa has 118 receptions for 1,621 yards (13.7 yards per catch) and five scores in 40 career NFL games and will be a building block around rookie quarterback Sam Darnold for years to come. Enunwa is more attractive in PPR formats and will be more of a WR4 target next year.
