WR Jerry Jeudy, CLE (1 Viewer)

The holy war over this receiver corps is odd. This feels like a pretty clear 1a / 1b situation with Sutton being the A and Jeudy the B. Both feel like strong WR3 / Flex plays with upside.

Current Projections in PPR:

Footballguys:
Sutton: 236pts (WR16)
Jeudy: 212pts. (WR27)

PFF:
Sutton: 182pts (WR24)
Jeudy 179pts (WR27)

Fantasy Points:
Sutton 218pts (WR22)
Jeudy 206pts (WR27)

Fantasy Footballers:
Sutton: 240pts (WR19)
Jeudy: 221pts. (WR28)

How many of those sites your posted had Woods over Kupp and Aiyuk over Deebo last year?

I would not know because I truly don't even look at rankings but that's how they were being drafted by most people(not me). For me, there is nothing clear about Juedy being the B to Suttons A. Maybe, maybe not, but it's certainly not clear.
 
camp reports (that I've read/heard anyways) favor Sutton and it isn't close.
This is the exact thing a brought to the table earlier. I don’t have either on my dynasty teams, but will definitely be targeting Sutton in both of my upcoming redrafts. Jeudy has definitely flashed potential in camp according to local reports, but has been very inconsistent. He’s always had issues with drops and that has still been evident in camp thus far. Even with the Patrick injury, he’s still been reported to have bad body language and seems like his head isn’t there. Apparently the rookie Washington is tearing up camp and looks hungry. That could be bad for Jeudy if he doesn’t put it together.

Well if it's something you've read then surely there's a link you could provide.
FWIW @Faust, of course, just posted a piece in the Sutton thread about how Wilson is locking in on Sutton when plays break down.

It's anecdotal but being trusted by your QB when stuff goes sideways bodes well for Sutton.
That's an ESPN article. The poster gave the distinct impression that they have homer/inside knowledge of Sutton being "favored and it's not even close." Let's show those cards.

No inside knowledge. Just a guy who reads blogs and listens to the Denver radio hacks (104.3). Probably the same stuff @Shawnky is hearing.

I've heard numerous local camp reports all summer about how well Jeudy is doing. Just one example from yesterday vs. PS2.

Speaking of Jeudy, the 2020 first-round pick also had a terrific day at practice today. His day served as an anti-Pat-Shurmur showcase, with Jeudy taking an end-around for a massive gain, and hauling in numerous passes on deep routes — which he wasn’t given the privilege to run under Shurmur. One of those deep completions was a touchdown that came at Patrick Surtain II’s expense, and it marked just the third time all camp that Surtain had been beaten that badly, and the second time it’s happened at the hands of Jeudy.

 
I'm not saying Jeudy isn't making plays, because he is. It's more about consistent rave reports on Sutton one hand, and Jeudy being inconsistent, dropping some passes, and poor body language on the other.

Any of that criticism recent (i.e. since OTA's began)?

Nor am I saying Jeudy will be the #1. But I do respectfully challenge the "it's Sutton and it's not even close" claim so please provide backup for that.

Yes. As of this week.

And I'll post links at my leasure....if I get around to it.

Yeah. Right. I'll believe it when I see it.

I would not know because I truly don't even look at rankings but that's how they were being drafted by most people(not me). For me, there is nothing clear about Juedy being the B to Suttons A. Maybe, maybe not, but it's certainly not clear.

Someone else is welcome to do the digging.
IMO this translates pretty clearly:

DK > Sutton >> Big bodied burner capable of huge plays downfield
Jeudy > Lockett >> Jeudy is bigger than Lockett but played nearly 80% of his snaps in the slot previously.

Not a perfect comparison but seems to fit reasonably well. Both will eat. I think Jeudy will see more targets, with Sutton seeing a higher YPC and being more valuable in bonus leagues.

In PPR, maybe the values are closer.
|In Bonus or non-PPR I think Sutton the gap will widen a bit.
In Best Ball I prefer Sutton for those boom games.
If you need a bit more week to week baseline consistency, Jeudy could be a smarter play.

This is not what I'd personally term as one of them clearly being 1A and the other 1B but it's all solid reasoning I don't disagree with at all and pretty close to mirroring how I feel.

As a Bronco I fan, I hope this is how it plays out. That's certainly the expectation.

I think it's more likely Sutton meets this expectation than Jeudy.

Hamler is a much better comp to Lockett

If your primary metrics are height and weight... maybe. What are you basing this comp on, in the context of how the offense flows?

What role do you see Jeudy in if Hamler is Lockett?

Can you please provide a link to reports claiming Jeudy has had issues with drops or been inconsistent at camp this year? This is obviously a concern if true, though it seems virtually everything I’ve read has been positive since day two of camp.

I don't think anyone is going to be Lockett. That isn't the offense they are running

They won't provide any links because they can't.

It's an outdated legacy narrative that some in here are trying way too hard to carry over to the current season. Of course Jeudy still needs to prove himself once real bullets fly, but all these imaginary "reports" of bad body language, inconsistency and drops are simply not an accurate reflection of Jeudy's performance since OTA's began.

“I think what’s also been a huge bright light to see is Jerry Jeudy step up in a beautiful way,” Russell Wilson said on Thursday. “He’s going to have a really amazing year. He’s so confident right now. He’s playing his best football that I’ve seen. He’s really sharp. He understands every concept, what we’re trying to do, how to get there. Every route is just perfect. He’s been really great for us. And I put that back to his work ethic. Once again, he sits in the front of the room, right next to me.

He has a mindset right now that he wants to be the greatest to ever do it,” Melvin Gordon said. “He comes out here every day and he showcases it. That’s why you guys are talking to him right now about the plays he’s making. He has grit, man. He has the mindset, the focus. He’s going to make it happen. He’s going to open a lot of people’s eyes.”


 
Got Sutton at 4.01 last night in 12T PPR as my WR4 in a Hero RB build and couldn't be happier.

Jeudy went 5.03.
 

Jerry Jeudy caught 4-of-7 targets for 102 yards and one touchdown in the Broncos' Week 1 loss to the Seahawks.​

Jeudy and Courtland Sutton each saw seven targets, tying for second on the team behind Javonte Williams of all people, who drew a dozen looks. Jeudy was the recipient of a deep-shot 67-yard touchdown that Russell Wilson badly underthrew, but Jeudy did a great job to come back on it after beating rookie slot CB Coby Bryant. It was Wilson's only touchdown pass of the night. Jeudy will be a WR2 next week at home against the Texans.

The long TD probably obfuscates his performance relative to Sutton a bit, but it was promising that Jeudy did not take a backseat to Sutton in targets, as many have expected this year.

Was interesting that neither Jeudy nor Sutton really saw any looks until (I believe) the second quarter, but no doubt that will change going forward.

14 targets combined between them was the most distressing take-away.

I expect more Sutton/Jeudy to come - just seemed like the whole broncos offense was out of synch.

Lack of preseason play together likely the cause. Good things ahead.

Yeah, I don't expect Javonte to get 12 targets every week. Definitely out of sync as you say, as wholly evidenced by that bonehead time clock management at the end. I expect Russ to come out firing next week.

And the delays of game penalties, and seemingly every huddle breaking with 10-12 seconds on the clock.

It’s discombobulated.

I expected Denver to get off to a slow start. They have all new coaches at every level. It took Manning a few weeks to get it going when he joined the Broncos.

He’s off to a terrible start. I didn’t watch the game today but saw some clips of the fans not looking happy. They’ll get it going but Hackett sure has the feel of a one and done coach. The Broncos have a richer than normal owner. Perhaps Sean Payton can be lured here.

You’ll read about it tomorrow - he cost them so many 1st downs, couldn’t decide whether to go for it on 4th & short or 4th & long….to the point he had to use 2 time-outs and/or take delay of game - at home.

He also had a critical play & opted to run their 4th string TE who’d touched the football once before in his career. When JaWill was averaging 6+ YPC.

Mystifyingly terrible coaching.

Jerry Jeudy (chest/sternum) is considered day-to-day.​

Jeudy exited against Houston in the first quarter and did not return, so his day-to-day designation can be considered good news for the Broncos. Jeudy's practice reports will be monitored closely this week as Denver prepares to take on the 49ers in Week 3. The Broncos will also be hoping to get K.J. Hamler back after he missed Week 2 as part of his ongoing recovery from ACL surgery.

Current Approx PPR Rankings:
Sutton ~WR20
Jeudy ~WR60

Sutton hasn't lit the world on fire but is at lease roughly delivering on ADP

Jeudy is killing your team.
 

Jerry Jeudy (shoulder/ribs) did not practice Thursday.​

Jeudy left in the first quarter of Week 2's Broncos-Texans contest after being driven into the ground hard on a catch attempt. He's not practiced either of the first two days this week leading up to Sunday Night's game against the 49ers, and that puts him on the pessimistic side of questionable if he's able to get in a limited practice Friday. If Jeudy sits, Courtland Sutton would likely be a target hog for the Broncos in Week 3.
Sep 22, 2022, 2:07 PM ET
 
With the game on SNF, there's basically little chance of starting him regardless, unless you have another option on SNF or MNF.
 

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jerry Jeudy (shoulder/ribs) "is on track to play" in Week 3 against the 49ers.​

Schefter noted Jeudy "wants to see how it feels in pre-game warmups" before making a final decision. Jeudy went down in the first quarter of Week 2 and did not return. A pair of DNPs early in the week made it look like he would miss Denver's matchup with the 49ers, but Jeudy did get in a limited practice on Friday. It's likely the third-year receiver will play at less than full health, but fantasy managers should still bet on him as a WR2. In Jeudy's only first and only full game with Russell Wilson, he went for 102 yards and a touchdown.
