Jeudy finished well outside the top 50 fantasy WRs last season, due largely to awful QB play.
The QB play probably won’t be much better this year. And Jeudy faces increased target competition from rookie WRs KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston.
Don’t bank on Jeudy as a reliable fantasy starter.
Customize his projection for your exact league settings inside the Draft War Room.
Jeudy caught 50 balls for 602 yards and 2 TDs across 17 games last year, finishing 69th among WRs in PPR points per game.
Jeudy scored as a top-12 PPR receiver just once, cracked the top 24 only twice, and ranked outside the top 36 WRs in 12 of 17 games.
Jeudy led the Browns in routes (86.4%) and ranked second on the team behind TE Harold Fannin Jr. in targets (106).
Those 106 targets tied for 23rd among all WRs. Jeudy’s 18.6% target share ranked 36th.
He finished 40th among WRs in expected PPR points per game.
Jeudy was the biggest underachiever at WR in the NFL, scoring 3.6 fewer PPR points than expected.
Among 76 WRs with 50+ targets last year, Jeudy ranked:
Jeudy didn’t get much help from his QBs. Just 64.4% of his targets were deemed catchable, fifth-lowest among those 76 WRs.
But Jeudy didn’t fare well in film-based metrics. Among those 76 WRs, he ranked:
The 2025 Browns ranked:
The passing game was one of the worst in the league, finishing:
Jeudy and Fannin were the only Browns to reach 600 receiving yards last year. WR Isaiah Bond finished third on the team with 338 yards.
Jeudy’s ugly 2025 followed a career-best 2024 in his first season with the Browns. He racked up 90 catches for 1,229 yards and 4 TDs, finishing 28th among WRs in PPR points per game.
That came on a Browns team that led the league in pass attempts, although it ranked just 22nd in passing yards and 28th in TDs.
Jeudy posted middling efficiency marks in 2024. Among 84 WRs with 50+ targets, he finished:
Jeudy was generally underwhelming across four seasons in Denver to open his career. His finishes among WRs in PPR points per game:
Jeudy has missed nine games with injury across his six seasons:
The Browns spent top-40 picks on WRs KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston this spring.
Concepcion (24th overall) broke out as a freshman at North Carolina State in 2023 and led Texas A&M with 61 catches, 919 yards, and 9 TDs last year. He’s position-versatile and especially dangerous after the catch.
Boston (39th overall) is your classic big-bodied outside receiver. The 6’4, 212-pounder averaged 13.7 yards per catch with 20 total TDs over his final two seasons at Washington.
Cleveland also returns TE Harold Fannin Jr., who’s coming off a 107-target, 72-catch rookie season.
TE David Njoku was the only significant departure from last year’s pass-catching corps. He averaged 4.0 targets across his 12 games last season.
Jeudy should remain a top-3 WR on this team and could even still lead the WRs in targets. But he’s undoubtedly facing tougher competition than last season.
QB play remains a big concern.
Deshaun Watson is the early favorite to start, but he’s working back from a twice-torn Achilles. And he wasn’t good with Cleveland even before those injuries, averaging just 6.0 yards per pass attempt across 2022-2024.
The Browns also return second-year QBs Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. Neither was good as a rookie, averaging 6.6 and 5.1 yards per attempt, respectively.
Cleveland is favored in just one game this season and implied for 17.9 points per game, the lowest in the league.
The Browns canned HC Kevin Stefanski and OC Tommy Rees after the 2025 season and replaced them with HC Todd Monken and OC Travis Switzer.
Monken confirmed during his introductory press conference that he'll call offensive plays. This is his first NFL head coaching gig, but he has seven seasons of OC experience (three with the Buccaneers, one with the Browns, and three with the Ravens).
Monken’s Ravens teams were run-heavy, due in large part to having QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry. But he leaned pass prior to that, with three of his first four offenses ranking higher in pass attempts than rush attempts.
Here’s where Monken’s offenses have finished in total WR PPR points:
Jeudy has a pair of top-30 PPR seasons on his resume and remains in his prime at 27. If he can fend off rookies Concepcion and Boston for the No. 1 WR job and gets better-than-expected QB play, Jeudy could score as a WR3 this season.
The Browns are projected to be one of the worst offenses and passing games in the league. Jeudy also faces much tougher target competition this year than last.
He could finish as low as fourth on the team in targets and be a total non-factor in fantasy football.

Denzel Boston Building His Case for Targets
Denzel Boston Building His Case for Targets
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports that the Browns believe rookie WR Denzel Boston can make a similar impact to fellow rookie K.C. Concepcion. Boston was drafted 39th overall, only 15 picks after Concepcion. “Whereas Concepcion is the explosive, run-after-catch type, Boston is the big-bodied, outside-the-numbers genre,” Breer writes. “He’s already earned the trust of the team’s three quarterbacks, runs better than you’d expect of a guy his size and, coming out of the same college offense Tetairoa McMillan did a year ago, has drawn internal comparisons to the young Panthers star.”
Don’t Dismiss the Isaiah Bond Buzz in Cleveland
Don’t Dismiss the Isaiah Bond Buzz in Cleveland
Let’s just let ESPN Browns reporter Daniel Oyefusi deliver the primary info: “The Browns drafted wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in April, but no Cleveland wideout was targeted more than [Isaiah Bond] this spring.” That’s especially worth noting for two reasons:
Our prospect guru Shane Hallam deemed Bond a Round 4-5 prospect who “certainly could have been a Day 2 pick” with more college production. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler rated him a third-round talent and the No. 10 WR prospect in the class.
Bond went undrafted because he got arrested on sexual-assault allegations just two weeks before the draft. A Texas grand jury determined in August, though, that the case didn’t merit an indictment. Bond subsequently signed with Cleveland
Browns Land KC Concepcion
Browns Land KC Concepcion
The Browns selected Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion with the 24th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Concepcion’s profile took a meaningful step forward in 2025. After two productive seasons as N.C. State’s primary slot receiver, he transferred to Texas A&M and showed his game could scale outside. Concepcion led the Aggies in all major receiving categories, finishing with 61 catches for 919 yards and 10 total scores. The 21-year-old earned consensus All-America honors as an all-purpose threat, adding 25 punt returns for 456 yards and two scores. His quickness and make-you-miss ability really show up on tape. He averaged a healthy 15.1 yards per catch and 7.2 yards after catch per reception last season. Concepcion needs to clean up the drops, though, after dropping 10.3% and 11.7% of his catchable targets over the past two years, according to Pro Football Focus.
49ers-Browns Weather Update
49ers-Browns Weather Update
The forecast for today's 49ers-Browns game calls for sustained winds of 25 mph with gusts around 35 mph. The total in this game has dropped from 42.5 to 35.5. Expect a run-heavy game plan from both sides. RBs Christian McCaffrey and Quinshon Judkins can stay in fantasy lineups. TE George Kittle is the only comfortable play from either passing game. Avoid the kickers.
Ravens-Browns Weather Update
Ravens-Browns Weather Update
The forecast for today's Ravens-Browns game calls for sustained winds around 25 mph with gusts between 30-35 mph. That figures to impact play-calling, as well as deep throws and longer kicks. Hopefully you weren't relying too heavily on Cleveland's passing game here, although TEs Harold Fannin and David Njoku could be ok as short-range targets. We're downgrading Baltimore's passing game, but QB Lamar Jackson, WR Zay Flowers, and TE Mark Andrews remain fine fantasy starts. Avoid the kickers in this game. The over/under has dropped from 39.5 on Thursday to 38.5.
