New York Jets: Three under-the-radar free agent WR options

The New York Jets were one of five teams that didn’t have an 850-yard receiver in 2019. They were joined by the Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Indianapolis Colts. Those raw numbers are disingenuous though.

The Cardinals and the Giants both had receivers who were on pace to break 900 yards had they played 16 games. So, in reality, the Jets were one of just three teams who didn’t have an 850-yard receiver.

Even among those teams, they’re clearly the worst. The Steelers have a legitimate No. 1 receiver who was held back by injuries and poor quarterback play in JuJu Smith-Schuster.
