News: 4 days agoJeudy (hamstring) had three receptions on five targets for 25 yards and no scores in Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders.

Spin: Russell Wilson had a vintage game in which he aired it out for over 300 yards, but Jeudy mostly missed the party and was held to just 25 yards in his season debut. The positive news is that the 2020 first-round pick didn't suffer a setback to the hamstring injury that cost him the first game of the season. If Wilson is able to continue playing at the level he showed Sunday, that could lead to better stat lines from Jeudy now that he is healthy. His next opportunity to produce will come against Miami next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Year 1 of the Russell Wilson era didn't go so well in Denver, but that didn't stop Jeudy from enjoying a breakout season. The 2020 first-round pick set career highs in receptions, yardage, TDs and end zone targets (nine) en route to a 22nd-place fantasy finish. He finished the season with five straight top-30 outings. Jeudy struggled with inefficiency as a rookie and went without a single TD in 2021, but he got both on track last season, including eighth-place finishes in YPT (9.7) and RAC (5.8). The 24-year-old has taken control as Denver's No. 1 WR and very well could make another leap this season with Sean Payton calling the offense. Consider him a WR3 with upside.
