News: 4 days agoJeudy failed to haul in his lone target during the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Spin: Jeudy couldn't improve on his 2-26-0 line (on four targets) during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. The seventh-year pro played 34 of 58 offensive snaps Sunday (58.6 percent), which was third most among Cleveland wide receivers behind rookies Denzel Boston (54) and KC Concepcion (38). Jeudy finished the 2025 regular season with the second-most receiving yards on the Browns, but it appears Boston, Concepcion, tight end Harold Fannin and even running back Quinshon Judkins are the preferred targets for Deshaun Watson to open the season. Jeudy will look for better results in Cleveland's home opener against Carolina on Sept. 27.

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.
