Jerry Jeudy

Week 10 at Buffalo Bills
Jerry Jeudy only played 57% of the offensive snaps in Week 8 before the bye and caught just two passes on six targets, but he made them count by totaling 50 yards and his first touchdown of 2023. Jeudy's snap share has been suppressed of late, which is inevitably hurting his fantasy prospects, and he seems to have fallen into a secondary role behind Courtland Sutton. Buffalo is not an overly imposing matchup for opposing wideouts, but Jeudy has a low floor given his current role and offensive environment. Until we see Jeudy become a full-time player and see more opportunity, he is a shaky flex play at best.

Week 7 vs. Green Bay Packers
It was a rough Thursday Night Football for Jerry Jeudy last week. First, he got torched by Steve Smith Jr. for being average on the pregame show, then he dropped a complete dud in the actual game by posting three catches for 14 scoreless yards on five targets. It's not difficult to see where Smith was coming from, as Jeudy has been completely unremarkable through five games this season. Jeudy's counting stats are unimpressive as he has yet to score a touchdown and ranks outside the top-40 in receptions and receiving yards amongst WRs. Jeudy's efficiency metrics are similarly mediocre, with him struggling to crack the top-50 in yards per route run and yards per target. The Packers are not an overly imposing matchup in Week 7, but Jeudy has not been good this year and makes for a scary fantasy proposition.

Week 5 vs. New York Jets
Jerry Jeudy's usage remained on track on Week 4 as he ran a route on 83% of drop backs, but he only caught three of five targets for 52 scoreless yards. While it's possible Jeudy is still being affected by his preseason hamstring issue, the emergence of Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims in the Denver passing game has put a real dent in Jeudy's claim to being the top pass catcher for Russell Wilson. Jeudy's 19% target share only ranks 42nd at the position through Week 4, and he's seen only one red zone target on the season. Now Denver welcomes Sauce Gardner and a formidable Jets defense to town this weekend. Jeudy should see more opportunity as the year goes on and he reaches full health, but he is tough to start in this matchup given how things have gone so far in 2023.
