Fair points. I don't think anyone is saying that Jeudy can't or won't be a very good fantasy asset. Just that his upside may be capped due to surrounding talent. Someone brought up Michael Thomas, Davante Adams and Deandre Hopkins as alpha receivers who benefit not just from supreme talent, but also insane volume due to lesser surrounding WR talent. Obviously it's WAY too soon to draw conclusions about Jeudy without him playing in an NFL game, but even if he's all that, IMO the only way for him to ever get to that level is if Sutton (or another high-quality secondary option) is out of the picture.If you believes that Jeudy is the best player available, you should take him.
I was just looking at one of my leagues' top performers at WR. Within the top 24 at WR, there are 3 sets of teammates. Godwin/Evans (Godwin finished 2nd overall, with Mike Evans on the same team.) Julio/Ridley and Kupp/Woods. Imagine passing on Chris Godwin when he came out because Mike Evans was already there.
I am a massive, massive Jeudy fan, full disclosure.
Having said that, I don't think Sutton, Hamler, Fant, Albert O is bad news for Jeudy's fantasy prospects. I think Jerry Jeudy is terrible news for Fant and Hamler owners.
In the short term, the Broncos OL is less than great, so a guy who wins from the slot as quick as Jeudy does seems like a nice security blanket for young QB. The real bonus is that he isn't simply a faster Jarvis Landry, he also gets deep, with a QB who chucks it.
