Ar’Darius Stewart, WR

The Jets have cleared house at receiver in letting star Brandon Marshall leave in free agency, and recently cutting their second best option, Eric Decker, outright. The Jets’ best target is arguably Quincy Enunwa at this point, but he may not be the best fantasy option, ex-Alabama and third rounder ArDarius Stewart may be the best fantasy receiver on this team.

Stewart was a monster after the catch last season and was able to lead the team with 864 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s a playmaker all over the field and is capable of busting off long gains through the air which could make him a valuable fantasy asset.

The Jets’ QB situation is a disaster, but Stewart is a sleeper to be a fantasy stud this year. Stewart is a complete receiver with great athleticism and a tendency to pick up yards after the catch which will make him valuable. Look for him to surprise many this year as a fantasy asset, especially if the Jets get even decent quarterback play.
