5 NFL Red Zone Trends to Monitor for Week 7

Quincy Enunwa's Injury and the Jets' Pass-Catchers

The New York Jets have not thrown the ball with much volume in the red zone, with Sam Darnold racking up only 20 pass attempts.

Through the first five games of the season, his primary target (both overall and in the red zone) was Quincy Enunwa, who accounted for for 28.1% of their overall targets as well as a huge 36.8% of their red zone targets.

Enunwa went down with a high-ankle sprain in Week 6, though, and with a multi-week absence ahead of him, that should open up some scoring opportunities, even with the Jets' low passing volume.

Through the first five weeks of the season, the only non-Enunwa Jets with multiple targets inside the 20 were Terrelle Pryor (three), Jermaine Kearse (two) and Jordan Leggett (two). In Week 6, the team's three red zone targets were spread evenly between Pryor, Kearse and Neal Sterling.

While four and three red zone targets for Pryor and Kearse doesn't exactly look significant, those marks account for 33.3% and 25% of the targets that haven't gone to Enunwa, and they are the only two other Jets players with more than two red zone looks on the year.

The Jets' run-heavy red zone approach means that neither are going to be high-ceiling guys, but any games that Enunwa misses will open up both of those two for some very real touchdown potential.
