I've been pimping Kerley in several thread since the Holmes injury. I posted in the Keller thread that Keller's return would not supplant Kerley as Sanchez's favorite target. He hasn't.
Kerley is an unlikely NFL team's WR1 at 5'9.5", 189 and only 4.56 speed, but he has intangables. Excellent route runner, very quick as opposed to fast, he is elusive and combines that with supremely reliable hands. He also makes all the right reads.
Yesterday, understanding the caveat of playing against a very shakey NE D backfield, Kerley had 11 targets, 7 catches and 120 yards. Since the Holmes injury, Kerley has had 9, 6 and 11 targets for an average of 8.66 targets per game. Remove the 6 target game against the Colts, where the Jets didn't pass much at all, he's averaging 10 targets per game. Unlike an often targeted player like B Lloyd, he has a very solid target to rec rate of 62.5 with an average YPR of over 17.
Kerley only has 2 TD's to his credit this year, and Keller will remain the primary red zone target, but Kerley will see paydirt at least 5 more times this year.
He isn't a FF WR1, but for a WR2 or WR3 he will be a consistant point scorer every week, week in and week out. Two weeks ago I said to expect 6 to 12 targets per game for Kerely. Solid WR2 territory, maybe on the lower end.
He may even still be a buy low although I doubt he's on anyone's WW anymore however. Kerley is no flash in the pan. He'll be a very consistant every week starter on any FF line up.
Yesterday, Kerley was even double covered often, especially in the second half after a 77 yard first half. He still got open. He splits wide and plays the slot. S Hill's deep speed keeps the defense honest. Now, they have to cover Keller too. Pick him up if you can. You won't regret it.
