Back at the draft, one Jets player was selected for a team. He was selected late in the draft and wasn't even meant to be a starter. That player was Chris Ivory, a strong veteran who was expected to be the lead RB in the Jets' timeshare style run game.
If you would have told me that by week 7 of the season that I personally would have more Jets players on my team than any other roster, I would have told you that you were insane.
But guess what...
I have three.
Having 3 players from any team seems like a lot, let alone from the Jets. The players I picked up are sure fire fantasy options. Bilal Powell was an early pick up for me this season once it was expected for him to remain the starter at running back. This week, I picked up Jeremy Kerley. Kerley has 319 receiving yards on 24 catches. He's also added 2 touchdown so far this season. Kerley may not seem like a great receiver, but after last weeks spectacular performance against New England the receiver looks like he's going to be targeted more by rookie quarterback Geno Smith. The third Jet on my roster was also added this week. I added kicker Nick Folk. He's been a solid kicker so far this year (even with the Meadowlands being one of the hardest environments to kick in). I'll probably get rid of Folk next week when Vinatieri is off of his bye week. Still, having a solid back up kicker during a bye week is always a helpful piece of mind.
The guys I picked up are not the only fantasy options from the Jets. The Jets defense is playing well and could easily be a starting option. Stephen Hill is a possible option at wide receiver. He isn't much different than Kerley; having 317 yards on 19 catches with 1 touchdown of his own. Even rookie QB Geno Smith is starting to gian some respect, putting up numbers solid enough to be stashed away on a roster, ready to play in the event of an injury or bye week.
Just the title was funny to come across being a person that watches football. This post adds a little more depth into the drafting and pick up situation that goes on in fantasy football. You still manage to keep the post informative while telling your story and explaining why each player is an asset to your team. Only thing I would say is to proof read a little before you post.
