Anyone think that Jeremy Kerley could have decent value as a WR3 this year? He caught 56 passes for 827 yards (14.8YPC) last-season on a pitiful Jets team. Santonio Holmes is still recovering from his Lisfranc injury and the guy proved to me he had some wiggle / speed last. Rex Ryan has even stated that he plans to throw "long" more this season:
"The Jets are going to need to eliminate the drops from their game if Marty Mornhinweg’s West Coast offense is going to succeed in New York. The Jets have thrown downfield quite a bit in practices so far, something that Kerley said he both noticed and appreciated on Tuesday. One of Kerley’s drops Tuesday, however, came on a deep ball where he burned Antonio Allen and was wide open for a sure-fire touchdown. Asked if the Jets would throw long more this season, Ryan said, “Without question.”

From what I've seen, he's got the talent to produce in this league and it looks like he'll be one of the Jets starting wideouts to start the season. If Geno Smith gets the start, I think this guy definitely gets a bump. There were a few times last-year where it looked like Kerley could have done more with a certain plays but was limited by a poor throw.
I recall one play in specific where Kerley has his man burned for a sure Touchdown but the ball hung in the air and Kerley had to wait for it, resulting in 0 YAC on a play that could have been 6 - points.
