Jeudy

Jeudy labored through inconsistent and downright awful quarterback play for the better part of the 2025 season. Coming off a 1,200-yard campaign in 2024, his yardage was cut in half this time around. He finished the season with 50 catches for 602 yards and two touchdowns. Jeudy was also credited with nine drops on the year, which nearly led the league. All in, Jeudy averaged a career-low 1.02 yards per route run. He finished outside the top 75 wideouts in that metric. Jeudy is miscast as a No. 1 receiver and the Browns’ quarterback woes compounded that issue into a catastrophic season. With the Browns looking at quarterback and head coaching changes in the offseason, Jeudy’s fantasy outlook could shift drastically by the time early drafts roll around. For now, he looks like a low-wattage WR5 heading into 2026.

Jeudy and Sheduer Sanders were in sync early, as Sanders connected with Jeudy for gains of 10, 13, and 15 yards on the Browns’ first three drives of the game. Jeudy saw four of his seven targets come on those first two drives, but saw little work the rest of the way as the Steelers put the clamps on the Browns’ passing game. Sunday’s outing marked just the second time this season that Jeudy has gone for 50-plus yards with Sanders under center. He’ll look to close out the season with another strong outing in Week 18 against the Bengals.

Jeudy saw a combined nine air yards on the three catches he made. The veteran receiver struggled to get anything going downfield on Sunday against the Bills. Jeudy has gone for 39 or fewer yards in four of Shedeur Sanders’ five starts this season and shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a desperation play in Week 17 against the Steelers.

In the third quarter, Jeudy leaped at the goal line and had the ball bounce off his hands for a Bears interception. It was an tough look from a receiver that’s had a season full of them. The Browns simply aren’t getting Jeudy enough targets to be a real fantasy factor, and that makes him a risky WR4 against the Bills in Week 16.

Jeudy’s score was a 60-yarder where he got a step on a crossing route and Shedeur Sanders did not miss. Jeudy’s overall yardage total was his second best of the season, though Sanders’ improved passing on Dillon Gabriel has not equalled improved target counts. Jeudy just isn’t seeing the ball enough to rise above risky WR4 status, even for plus dates like next week’s game with the Bears.

Jeudy was second on the team behind Harold Fannin in targets in another run-heavy game for the Browns. Jeudy was seen chastising QB Shedeur Sanders on the sideline following a miscommunication between the two in the second half, a sign of persistent frustration among Browns pass catchers trapped in an offense without a viable starting quarterback. Jeudy shouldn’t be started in 12-team leagues next week against the Titans.

Jeudy’s only catch of the day should have at least gone down as a highlight, given that it gained 39 yards. It was, instead, the worst play of his season. Looking for extra yards while sprinting down the sideline, Jeudy slowed down, high-stepped to throw a Raiders defensive back off, and promptly had the ball knocked out of his hands by a trailing Vegas defender. He was completely unaware of Jeremy Chinn chasing him down and embarrassed himself with the failed flashy move. Jeudy has one game over 50 yards since the Browns traded Joe Flacco. Even as the team’s top wideout, he is barely a WR6 heading into Week 13.

Dillon Gabriel remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol after sustaining a head injury in Week 11 against the Ravens. Sanders, who relieved Gabriel against Baltimore and completed four of 16 pass attempts for 47 yards and an interception, will get the start against Vegas. Sanders averaged 2.9 yards per attempt and was 34 percent below his expected completion rate. It makes the Raiders defense a must-start option in 12-team leagues. None of the Cleveland pass catchers are priorities with Sanders under center. Jerry Jeudy is startable in 14-team leagues with multiple flex spots.

Jeudy entered the game with a 43.8 percent season-long catch rate and somehow managed to lower it a tick with a 42.9 percent catch rate against the Ravens. He showed up late with a 10-yard gain on 3rd-and-10 to keep the Browns’ final, futile drive alive, but it was not enough to salvage his dreary outing. Jeudy remains a zero-floor FLEX in Week 12 against the Raiders.

Jeudy’s 22-yard score in the second quarter was somehow his first of the season. It required adjusting to a bad Dillon Gabriel ball. It was a great end zone catch. We would like to claim it’s “something to build on,” but there is always further for this offense to fall. That undermines Jeudy’s floor and makes ceiling close to impossible to come by. He will remain a frustrating WR4 for Week 11 against the Ravens.
