Jerry

Jeudy

Schefter threw out several names, many of whom have already been bandied about as trade candidates. Among the lesser-discussed options, he included Jerry Jeudy and Jauan Jennings in addition to Ridley. All three are veteran wideouts who have simply disappeared in the current iterations of their respective offenses. Even with new landing spots in the cards for the trio, none of them are worth holding onto in standard fantasy leagues. Ridley has five catches for 81 yards this year. He is expected to play through his hip injury today.

Jeudy was second on the team in pass routes — behind Denzel Boston — and fourth on the team in targets. This comes after Jeudy’s Week 6 performance against the Ravens in which he went for a season-high 69 yards on four receptions. Jeudy is well behind Boston and KC Concepcion in the pass-catching pecking order and should only be rostered in the deepest leagues for now.

Jeudy made the most of his limited volume in this one, with his longest play coming on a 33-yard reception on the final drive of the game as the Browns were driving down the field to complete the comeback victory. This was easily the best game of the season for Jeudy, who hadn’t gone for more than 36 yards in any other game this season. He’s seen four or fewer targets in four of his five games played and won’t be on the fantasy radar heading into Week 7 against the Titans.

We, too, would like to simply be given valuable things for no reason. Jeudy has fallen off the fantasy map enough that we’re now simply blurbing trade possibilities for him. The 27-year-old’s only real fantasy value at this point is hoping he gets traded somewhere where he can get involved again.

With Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion earning large roles right away, Jeudy has all but vanished from the box scores. He went two games without catching a single pass before bringing down three balls for 36 yards on Thursday night. Jeudy got pushed out of the Browns’ long-term plans on draft night and isn’t even part of the week-to-week game plan at this point.

Concepcion continues to operate as the primary slot receiver for a Browns team clearly looking to their youth while phasing out veteran Jerry Jeudy, the latter of whom managed three receptions on three targets for 36 yards. Concepcion has yet to lead the team in receiving while working in a short area role, with this the first game thus far which he has gained more then 43 yards. He’ll be a difficult start in fantasy circles when the Browns take on the Jets in Week 5.

After his two-catch performance in Week 1, Jeudy is off to a roaring start. Denzel Boston has established himself as Cleveland’s de facto No. 1 wideout while KC Concepcion is being force fed the ball on gadget plays near the line of scrimmage. With almost no avenue to fantasy relevance, Jeudy should remain on waiver wires.

Jeudy is on track to play, but he is seemingly being phased out of the offense. Browns rookie WRs Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion are establishing themselves as impactful starters, and their roles should only grow in the coming weeks. Jeudy should be left on waivers.

Jeudy felt like an afterthought behind the two rookie wideouts in the Browns’ passing game. He tied for second in targets and was a distant third in yards behind Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion. The veteran is still involved as a starter on the outside, but Todd Monken made it a point to make Boston the deep target and Concepcion the primary offensive weapon. In a fantasy-unfriendly offense, Jeudy is best left off the fantasy radar.

Cleveland’s Mary Kay Cabot reports that Jeudy “felt something in his hamstring today,” so he sat out. Coach Todd Monken made clear that he does not give veterans rest days right now, so if a player sits, it’s because they are being cautious with an injury. Today was the Browns’ final mandatory minicamp practice. They will now go on break until training camp begins in July. Early in May, Cabot reported that the team is hoping Jeudy reclaims his WR1 role this season. Browns rookie WRs KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston have been taking full rotations with both the No. 1 and No. 2 offensive groups. Yesterday, ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi reported Boston “has been one of the Browns’ standouts this summer.” Get well soon, Jeudy. The youngsters look promising.
