Instant Fantasy Analysis - WR ArDarius Stewart, Jets

Recommended Posts

It doesn't take long before Stewart's physicality just leaps off the tape, and I love the fit for a Jets' team who can use the attitude he brings. Stewart is constantly in search-and-destroy mode, instantly turning into a running back after the catch and punishing defenders on downfield blocks. While he lacks the same explosion and hands, he has a Steve Smith (the recently retired one from Utah) kind of demeanor. Pro Football Focus credited him with an average of 10.7 yards after the catch per reception, second-best among Power-5 wide receivers. Stewart has work to do as a route-runner and can try to do too much with the ball in his hands. He also wasn't exposed to all that much man defense and press coverage at Alabama with that program almost always possessing such a dominant ground game and not passing all that much, and his hands could be better (11 drops over the last two seasons). With that said, New York should be able to feel good its future with Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa and Stewart as its top three receivers if it chooses to move on from Eric Decker at any point. While any Jets' receiver will be difficult to use in fantasy this year, Stewart has the most long-term upside of the young trio mentioned above.
