News: 6 days agoJeudy caught two passes (on four targets) for 26 yards during the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Spin: Jeudy's first target from Deshaun Watson in the first quarter resulted in an interception, leading to a 30-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Parker Washington. Jeudy and Watson connected on passes of 20 and six yards late in the second quarter, but the seventh-year wide receiver did not see a target in the second half. His 32 snaps on offense were third most behind rookies Denzel Boston (47) and KC Concepcion (35), and Jeudy also is competing with tight end Harold Fannin for targets. Up next is a Week 2 road clash against the Buccaneers on Sept. 20.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jeudy's up-and-down career continues, as he has now finished outside the top 50 receivers in fantasy PPG four times in six seasons and inside the top 25 twice in the last four years. Jeudy has handled a target share in the 19-23% range all six seasons, but he hasn't found the end zone very often (17 TDs in 91 games) and has struggled with drops (32). Horrific efficiency (48% catch rate, 5.7 YPT) was a big issue last season and led to a career-low 7.1 fantasy PPG. Life might not be much better in 2026 with Cleveland's quarterback situation still unsolved and a lot more target competition (rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston join Harold Fannin Jr.). On the other hand, Jeudy, 27, is still in his prime and it has only been one season since he ranked sixth in the league with 1,229 receiving yards. He has some bounce-back potential, but Jeudy is safest as a bench player.
