Trash and Trash each have a TD tonight. I stand corrected.

It's why I benched him today

Swapped out Ridley for Jeudy last min.
Might cost me a trip to the ship in my 12-team rebuild league.
So mad at myself. Still got a chance, but that 12 point swing was big.

I dropped Ridley for McMillan last week. Luckily, my move turned out to be a lateral one, as the latter did as I had hoped.
But that totally blows. I feel your pain. Ridley has been a thorn in my side all season. I kept them on my roster and kept giving him more and more second chances every week. Of course the week I drop him he does what I've been waiting for him to do all season.
As for Jeudy, I benched him this week... but he didn't do much worse than Cooper Kupp

Whew!
Ridley will be in my lineup for the LCG

Yeah, that’s less than ideal.

It would seem he’s got some measure of elite talent and he could be a top ten or top twenty WR if he gets enough volume of targets.
I don't think they cut Watson, but I don't think he'll be their starting QB next year either.
It likely won't be a plus QB situation, but with the exception of a few games the majority of his career he's been catching passes from Drew Lock, Teddy B, Russ Wilson and Watson. This is one of many reasons I cited before the season for why I think people gave up on him to early. He was full on breaking out with Wilson in there first season together and was a stud with Winston. He's a long way from QB proof, but just give him competent QB play in an offense that wants to be pass heavy and he can be a top 20 WR easily and he'll only be 26 next season.
He and Downs were my two most drafted players this year and I enjoyed their production but was legit happy for Jeudy. I really think the position he was in his first 4 years is as bad of a situation on and off the field then any first round WR I can recall and I think he took to much grief over it.
Anyway, what they do at QB will be interesting. We already heard Myles Garrett last week say he wants to know the QB plan to decide if he might want out. (a pretty big indicatior to me btw that when you best player is asking what the plan for QB is when Watson is under contract that it's not him) . I got Cleveland listed as my favorite to sign Cousins to a Russ Wilson type contract. Not sure that will do it for Garrett, not awesome for Juedy, but he'd at least meet what I considier the threshold for competent QB play.

I'm highly confident this will not be the case.

Congrats to you for still believing. It was a rough go though in week 16 when people probably trotted him out there and he put up 4 pts.
I got forced into playing him in my 2 dynasty leagues in week 17 because I had no other option.
In 1 league he helped me win a title I was as shocked as anyone when he put up 21 pts last week and I needed them I won by 8 pts in a 3 week playoff. Lamb was shut down and I was stuck with Jeudy.
Shows you what a mess WR was this year and the impact of all the injuries. 84 for 1,166 & 4 TD’s is #3 in the AFC and 6th overall (with 1 game to go.) Last year those numbers would have been down around 7th in the AFC & 14th overall. Also Brian Thomas Jr had better #’s and didn’t make it in which is quite a snub.

I failed to account for the Winston factor.

Given how violate Browns' QB room (and extra media attention on the particular rookie taken 5th round), what's your take on Jeudy this year? Now that he no longer has Winston who frequently targeted him last year.
He drew 31 targets the last two weeks of the season with DTR and Zappe.
All the reasons he was frequently targeted last year remain in place.

It will be interesting to see how he does without the stat booster (Winston) behind center.Still giggle that he was called, by most, "dead" last offseason.
Finished as a WR1.Love me my gerald joodith.

I mean, Jameis did a good job at getting the ball to Jerry in his 7 games. No doubt. The obvious being, feed him like a WR1, he performs like one
Jameis fed him 10x a game on average (9.8 to be exact) and the results were... Delicious!

90/1,200+/4TDs a year ago on a dumpster fire of a team
I don't think I wrote anything that negative Jeudy, went from 1 QB-less team to another QB-less team and still put up pretty good numbers
Browns had almost no running game last year and they've addressed that with not 1 but 2 good looking rookie RBs
What i believe you will see are perhaps less targets but quality plays and throws off play action so that Jeudy is wide open at times
75/1,100/6-8 TDs vs only 4 last season, that would satisfy most folks desires that draft him.
I took him recently in a 16-team Survivor format at Pick #83 overall as my WR2 behind Puka Nacua after waiting way too long to take a 2nd WR
It would help if Cleveland had a rookie QB emerge and surprise, be it Gabriel or Sanders but in the mean time, Flacco/Pickett should be able to figure a way to target him often
WR#32 off the board, felt like he easily outpaces that ADP

Thought he was a great player at Bama. Saw glimpses of that player last year. Was it Winston or did Jeudy finally find himself again? I'm pretty high on him, especially at current cost, but can also see the risk of him regressing with ??? at QB. Which QB helps Jeudy the most this year? Gotta be Flacco, right? Having 2 rookie QBs on what appears to be a bad team does make me pause a bit. Gotta believe 1 or both of those guys see action at some point.

I think Jeudy will be fine. He seems like the greatest option to receive a high target share and should ultimately lead to a decent fantasy season...
If you believe Flacco will be throwing him the ball all year, well... then that is a you problem. It's the Browns. I could see every QB getting some run before the end of the season. I just don't see who is standing in front of Jeudy and this monster target share.
