Fantasy Football Player Notes

Jerry Jeudy finally delivered a WR1 season in 2024, finishing as the WR12 overall with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and 4 touchdowns on 145 targets - despite leading the league with 13 drops. His late-season surge was fueled by injuries to other Browns pass-catchers and Amari Cooper's midseason trade. From Week 12 on, Jeudy averaged 16.3 points per game (WR4 overall) and consistently cleared his receiving yards prop with Jameis Winston under center. However, with a murky 2025 QB situation and return of Cedric Tillman and David Njoku, Jeudy's clear-cut target leader status is far from guaranteed. He's a regression candidate in fantasy and a risky bet to repeat his WR1 output.

Cedric Tillman flashed major second-year breakout potential in 2024, stepping up as the Browns' top wideout after Amari Cooper's departure and Jameis Winston's promotion to QB1. From Weeks 7-12, Tillman averaged 12.8 fantasy points per game (WR16), totaling 330 receiving yards and clearly outproducing Jerry Jeudy during that stretch. Unfortunately, a concussion cut his season short, sidelining him for the final six games. Now fully healthy and with past chemistry with Joe Flacco, Tillman is well-positioned to re-emerge as a key piece in Cleveland's passing game and could be a sneaky value pick in 2025 drafts.
