The New York Jets claiming wide receiver Lucky Whitehead is a smart move but actually not a good sign for current wide receiver Jalin Marshall. Marshall and Whitehead can provide similar production for the Jets.
In two seasons with the Cowboys, Whitehead averaged 6.9 yards per punt return and 25.6 yards per kickoff return. However, as a receiver, Marshall has 11.6 yards per reception which is four yards more than Whitehead.
With that said, Whitehead also gave the Cowboys a third rusher to keep Ezekiel Elliott fresh. He averaged 9.2 yards per carry.
