News: 4 days agoJeudy hauled in three of seven targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 17-12 loss against the Jets.

Spin: Quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled mightily against a tough Jets defense in Week 5, completing just 15 of his 33 pass attempts for 155 yards and getting sacked eight times. Jeudy's production still managed to lag behind even that baseline, as he averaged fewer than three yards per target Sunday. He'll be hoping to at least keep up the target volume in a Week 6 matchup versus the Ravens.

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.
