DEN WR Jerry Jeudy - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Chiefs

Jerry Jeudy and the Denver Broncos take on a divisional opponent in the Kansas City Chiefs this week. The Broncos are a 9.5-point underdog which should bode well for the Broncos passing game. Since Jeudy came back, he leads all Broncos WRs in targets per game with six, but the only problem has been that the Broncos offense hasn't been able to sustain many drives which have dried up most of the passing work for the Broncos. Another problem is the Chief's pass defense has been much better as of late, they are a top-10 pass defense when it comes to points given up to the WR.

DEN WR Jerry Jeudy - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Chargers

Jerry Jeudy seems to have taken over as the WR1 in Bronco country. In his last two games since he’s returned from injury, he’s seen 8 or more targets, which leads the team. Against a Chargers defense that has been less than stellar against the passing game, Jeudy seems to set up to again to dominate targets.

DEN WR Jerry Jeudy - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Eagles

As most assumed, Jerry Jeudy picked right back up from where he left off Week 1. He dominated the targets (8) while the next closest on the team was five. He was also second in air yards (45). Even though the Eagles come in as a bad matchup according to our hotspot tool, the Eagles have been torched by slot guys the past two weeks in Keenan Allen and Hunter Renfrow, giving up seven receptions to both. Jeudy should post another good game this week.

DEN WR Jerry Jeudy - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cowboys

Jerry Jeudy came back after seven weeks off and tied for the team lead in targets with four. The biggest difference between his Week 1 dominance and Week 8 subpar performance was his Adot. Week 1 he had an aDot of 11.9 while last week he only had an aDot of 9.0. Jeudy is still a start this week, especially with the Cowboys high-flying offense.

DEN WR Jerry Jeudy - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Football Team

Jerry Jeudy comes back in time to take advantage of a Washington Football team leaking points via the pass. According to our very own adjusted fantasy points allowed tool, the Washington Football Team is currently 32nd right now in points given up to WRs. If there's ever a week to feel comfortable with an injured player coming back it's this week. In Week 1, Jeudy saw seven targets which led the team.

DEN WR Jerry Jeudy - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Giants

Jerry Jeudy is looking to build off a strong camp and his first matchup could be a juicy one if he avoids James Bradberry. According to Football Outsiders, the New York Giants rank 14th in DVOA when covering a team's WR1 but that number drops all the way down to 22nd in DVOA when covering a team's WR2, so if Courtland Sutton is fully healthy, Jeudy could be the one in line for a great receiving day.

DEN WR Jerry Jeudy - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Jerry Jeudy had a mixed bag his rookie year. Despite gaining the sixth most AirYards (1611) among all WRs, the second most targets amongst all rookie WRs (113), and playing without Courtland Sutton for most of the year, he failed to crack 1,000 yards, while also leading all rookie WRs in dropped passes (13) for the year in 2020, which many are putting a lot of emphasis on, but we know at 4for4 that drops have basically a zero correlation when looking at next seasons projections. Jeudy also had the third-highest AirYard market share and did this as a rookie with (43.6%) of the Broncos AirYards. On the other hand, he only saw 74 catchable balls out of 113 targets with Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, and Jeff Driskel. With the addition of Teddy Bridgewater, who seems like the starter for the Denver Broncos, Jeudy should see more favorable targets since Bridgewater had the 8th highest completion percentage among QBs that passed the ball for more than 20+ AirYards. He was also sixth among all qualified rookies in yards per route run, a stat that bodes well for Jeudys efficiency as a WR.

Fantasy Downside
It’s hard to imagine another season of Jerry Jeudy garnering more than 100 targets while failing to eclipse 1,000 yards again, but if Drew Lock were to win the starting job again over Teddy Bridgewater, it would seem like that would be the most likely outcome while Courtland Sutton comes back and gains most of the quality end zone looks while also becoming the alpha WR again in the Broncos WR room. We could also see a scenario where Vic Fangio can’t decide and decides to play musical chairs with his QBs which won’t help the timing and overall chemistry between the QBs and their receiving corps.

2021 Bottom Line
Jerry Jeudy is an exciting second-year wide receiver who has all the tools to blossom and have that second-year breakout that we’ve been seeing as a pattern in the NFL. In 2020 it was DK Metcalf and A.J. Brown. In 2019, it was Calvin Ridley and D.J. Moore. In 2018 it was Juju Smith-Schuster and Chris Godwin. All significantly increased their fantasy point output going from Year 1 to Year 2 in the NFL and Jeudy could be next if Teddy Bridgewater ends up winning the job over Drew Lock. Currently, we’ve got him ranked as the WR34, while he has an UnderDog Fantasy ADP of WR31, the risk is baked in of a QB controversy, his 13 drops from a year ago, and Courtland Sutton coming back but there’s a range of outcomes where Jeudy takes over as the alpha and blows his ADP out of the water, if you feel risky, Jeudy is a great draft pick in your 2021 drafts.
