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

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.

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.

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.

Given the opportunity to take Jeudy or Ridley as a 17th Round keeper pick in a WR heavy league (can start up to 5 WR), who would you pick?

- Both should be the top WR option on their respective team.
- Jeudy (26 yrs old) finished strong last season but Browns QB situation isn't promising.
- Ridley (30 yrs old) will have a rookie throwing to him but it seems Ward has to be better than any Titans QB's were in 2024.

I'm surprised he's not getting more love this year. Not even in the top 30WR ADP? Seems a little crazy. The light bulb seemed to finally come on for him and there is no real threat to take over the #1 role on the team. The rest of the guys on the roster are complementary pieces at best. Jeudy's talent is undeniable and even if he flamed out in Denver, the back half of last year was eye-opening.

cleveland QB situation and probable low scoring team deflates optimism. jeudy isn't a fun click, but he's the top dawg and really broke out after amari cooper was shown the door. i like him a bunch at ADP this year.
he's been going in the 6th round of underdog best ball drafts. getting lots of jeudy, deebo and addison in that range when i want WR. Washington and Minnesota will score more TD so don't want to miss out on those shares, but jeudy is my favorite of the group.
He's kind of the opposite of recency bias were I think some people can't forgot how he was a letdown in the past, even though I think he had extremely valid excuses.
Other thing with him is I think people forget how young he still is, just turned 26 in April.
Now the one negative and how I see it goes is this way.
To begin the season he's going to most likely get Flacco as his QB which is awesome as he'll be in a high volume spot with Flacco slinging it to him. There is a small chance it's Pickett instead of Flacco and if not then he'll get his shot after Flacco gets his run and while I'd prefer Flacco multiple camp reports keep saying that Pickett has had a strong rapport throwing to Jeudy(probably because there is no one else to throw to, which is part of why Jeudy has value). Healthy provided he should get off to a huge start.
Eventually one or both rookie QB's are going to start. That's where it gets tricky. On pure volume he should be fine, remember DTR threw to him 31 times in 2 games to end last season. But long story short he's most likely going to end up with 3-4 starting QB's throwing to him this year and each time we know they are stating someone new in leagues that don't set lineups we'll have to guess on how he functions with a new QB. That's the negative.

So true. Admitting you may have been wrong or premature in your valuation of a young NFL player's career, or even simply recognizing that a trend is being broken is a hard thing to do. Could the end of the season be an anomaly in Jeudy's career? Certainly, but before anyone writes him off because of his early career tape, go back and refamiliarize yourself with some of the pre-draft evaluations and check out his college tape. The guy's talent is top tier. If I can get him in the 30-40 range consistently I'll be ecstatic. He's the team's #1, unquestioned. Most of the other guys you can say that about are being drafted in the WR1-15 range. Unrelated to Jeudy, but in the same breath, I'll just mention Sutton's ADP is absurd for many of the same reasons as Jeudy.

Jeudys had a few seasons where he’s gone off at the end of the year. I’m still not convinced of him and his contract is high end wr2 money, but no reason he can’t be productive. I just think that 9-230-1 against Denver game has inflated things a bit.
I think Tillman actually has a chance at being the highest snaps receiver and most complete receiver on the team vs slot Jeudy. But we will see. Jeudy has teased so many times

And 2 for 30 deflated things a bit. Who cares?
2022 was decent in Denver when they kind of force fed him the ball in the back half of the season, but for the most part, he was straight trash in Denver. He looked like a deer in the headlights half the time and the other half looked like a deer that got ran over. Dead to the world.
He looked different last year. Played with a confidence I didn't see him play with since college. How does it translate to this year? Who knows, but at an ADP of ~WR35, I'm taking him all day every day.

They are pretty comparable players and excellent values for 17th rounder. To me it's kind of a coin toss honestly.
I agree and feel central to that is he felt wanted. He last two seasons in Denver he was under constant trade speculation.
I was saying this in this thread last off-season, and I know recently he's been giving interviews talking about what a big deal it is to actually feel wanted and this is what I think he means.

I sold Jeudy after last season. Ultimately, I feel I received what I invested on him (draft capital).
I don't think him being on the Browns is a good thing. If Sean Payton doesn't want him, neither do I.
I would be more likely to invest in Tillman receiving some garbage yards at his price over Jeudy (attached to his). I could be wrong but I don't think last year was as much of a breakout as people want to make us believe. He has strung together some decent games, even in Denver. He won't be an alpha and wasn't worth a rookie 1st... I am fine being wrong here, but it seems that I am not.

I'm pretty far off on this line of thinking.
Based on reports I saw he shopped both Sutton and Juedy and wanted more for Juedy. He traded the guy someone gave him something for, would probably have traded both if he got the return he wanted.
The two WR's he's really ever featured in his offense are bigger bodied types so if anything just not a system fit for Juedy. I am not saying this after the fact, said when they hired Payton on these boards, probably in this thread.
Stefanski is a two time HC of the year. If he wants him and will feature him, that's what matters now.

I've ended up with so many shares of Jeudy this year in the 6th round or later, or so cheap at auction I couldn't pass him by. Guy caught 90 passes for 1,200 last year but people are still fixated on his underachievment in DEN I think. Here's hoping for a repeat this season, and if he could just find the end zone 7-8 times, well that'll just be the cherry on top. He might not be this undervalued ever again.

We are talking about a team starting Joe Flacco at Quarterback for the year, curb your enthusiasm
This isn't Flacco coming in off the bench or for a couple games as a bridge, he's the actual starting QB coming out of camp and entering Week 1
It should be noted they paid a guy about $250M guaranteed and he's not playing so that does hinder their ability to field a guy
Flacco FTR after Baltimore traded him went 2-6 in Denver, I don't even remember him in a Broncos uniform
Then he spends about 3 years with the Jets and starts 9 games over those 3 seasons, 1-8 in those starts
We're at 3-14 so far
Then he lands in Cleveland and is able to go 4-1 and ride them into the Playoffs where he started
Went 2-4 last year in Indy replacing ARich and others
Outside of Cleveland he's 5-18 as a starter
-Is there anyone that thinks he is gonna start all 17 games for Cleveland this season? He's gone from Super Bowl QB to Journeyman now
And when he isn't starting games for Cleveland, who is taking those snaps under Center?
There's no Winston to make him look good this year, he might crash back to some of his old stats in Denver quickly
Be careful

Not really. They have njoku and Fannin too. Tillman is a good player. The wr3/4 yeah idk. They released DJ so maybe their depth is ok
I always fall for Jeudy but just ain’t sure he will get hyper targeted
efactor
Footballguy
Pickett moving on is a big plus IMO. More likely to stick with Flacco longer and even if they make the move to one of the rookies, Jeudy will still get a large target share. Granted shorter targets, but he won't just go away.
His price tag of 6/7 round is a bargain IMO.

He is at wr34 on fantasypros. For one year, guys drafted ahead of him or near him that I prefer Jeudy over in my personal opinion:
Olave. Love the player hate the concussions
Hunter. Long term give me the upside of Hunter. For this year give me Jeudy.
Pickens. Pickens is just a better football talent. Give me the alpha for targets over the 2nd option.
Diggs. Ya. Jeudy no question.
Waddle. Close. Images of the Dolphins offense without Tua are just to scarey in my head.
Worthy. Might not be popular, but for this year Jeudys end of season numbers are just gonna be better.
Ridley. This is my cut off. I'll take Ridley over Jeudy,
