Jamison Crowder

After four years in Washington, Crowder cashed in with a three-year, $28.5 million deal in New York, including $17 million guaranteed. That ensures he'll have a key role as the team's primary slot man, displacing the bigger, faster Quincy Enunwa, who now will move to the outside. At 5-9, 177, Crowder is a typical slot receiver - small, shifty and incredibly quick. He's been relatively efficient in the role, averaging roughly 8.0 YPT over the last four years. Crowder seems to play faster than his 4.56 timed speed, but he rarely runs downfield routes or makes plays in the red zone. Jets coach Adam Gase said he expects Crowder to catch 70-90 passes, which would be a career high, but it's not far-fetched given his contract and skill set. Quarterback Sam Darnold should be better in Year 2, but Enunwa, Robby Anderson, new tailback Le'Veon Bell and second-year tight end Chris Herndon also will see plenty of work in the passing game.

Crowder has been the primary slot receiver for the Redskins since his rookie season, mainly catching short passes and only on rare occasions making big plays - five catches of 40-plus yards on 280 career targets. At 5-9, 177, Crowder is more quick than fast (4.56 40), and that makes him a tough cover in short areas, but less of a threat downfield or in the red zone. The Redskins parted with Terrelle Pryor and Ryan Grant this offseason, but Paul Richardson joins the fold, and it's possible tight end Jordan Reed plays more than six games and pass-catching tailback Chris Thompson more than 10 this year. Even so, Crowder is the team's de facto No. 1 target unless third-year man Josh Doctson can take a major leap. Crowder will have to adjust to a new quarterback in Alex Smith, and while that's probably a downgrade for the offense as a whole, it should affect Crowder's short game least of anyone on the team.

A quality slot receiver and return man last year, Crowder heads into 2017 as the only experienced incumbent among the Washington receivers. However, the Redskins brought in athletic freak Terrelle Pryor and get last year's first-rounder Josh Doctson back from an Achilles injury. Moreover, TE Jordan Reed has been the team's go-to target, particularly in the red zone, whenever he's healthy. Even so, the 5-8, 182-pound Crowder will be left to work the short and intermediate areas of the field, using his exceptional quickness and route running to get open. Crowder -- 4.56 40 -- isn't fast, but he has excellent vision and is dangerous in space. While Crowder saw 17 red-zone looks last year, expect those to decline with the massive Pryor and 6-2 Doctson now in the fold. There's a decent chance Crowder pads his stats with a return TD, however.

The 2015 fourth-rounder had a productive rookie season, catching 59 passes for 604 yards and two touchdowns. Besides his five catches for 109 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Cowboys, Crowder's play was slightly stronger in first half of the season when DeSean Jackson was injured and he was thrust into the second receiver role. While Crowder enters 2016 looking to build on his promising first campaign, he will have to compete for looks with starters Pierre Garcon and Jackson, along with 2016 first-round pick Josh Doctson.

The 2015 fourth-rounder pick out of Duke appears on track to replace Andre Roberts as Washington's top punt returner, plus he could end up handling kick return duties as well. Where Crowder could carve out fantasy utility as a rookie is if he is able to supplant Roberts as the the team's top slot wideout. GM Scot McCloughan has suggested that Crowder could eventually be up to the task, thanks to the 5-foot-8, 185-pounder's "excellent" route-running ability. That said, Roberts' pro experience presumably allows him to maintain an initial edge for the assignment, with DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon entrenched as the team's top outside wideouts.
