Jerry Jeudy

Jeudy was slow out the gate with a 15.6% Target share and a 13.0% air yard share (0.76 YPRR), but his underlying usage is very encouraging. While he was not blowing up the boxscore in his first game back, he had an 81% route run per team dropback rate and a 33.0% first-read share. The high route total means he is somewhere close to full health, and the heavy first-read usage foretells that the target volume is coming. The closest receiver to that number for first reads is Sutton at a disappointing 17.2%. Jeudy will run about 73% of his routes from the slot against Kader Kohou (66.9% catch rate and 85.7 passer rating allowed in his career). Week 3 Positional Value: WR2

In a heart-stopping Week 2 showdown, Jerry Jeudy of the Denver Broncos put up a modest performance against the Washington Commanders, ending the game with 3 receptions for 25 yards on 5 targets.

Fantasy Impact

The 24-year-old wide receiver currently ranked WR71 for the week and WR88 for the season, couldn't find the end zone, leaving his fantasy managers wanting more. Despite the Broncos' narrow 35-33 loss, Jeudy showed flashes of his potential with a couple of key catches, including an 11-yard gain in the first quarter and a 7-yard gain in the second. Fantasy managers are still waiting for the 2020 first-rounder to reach his potential. Looking ahead, Jeudy hopes to bounce back against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, and fantasy managers will keep a close eye on his performance.
