Jerry Jeudy Fantasy Week 1 Start or Sit: Don’t Touch This Offense
· Yahoo Sports
Jeudy doesn’t register in PFN’s Week 1 wide receiver rankings, and a Jaguars defense that allowed the third-fewest yards per pass last season is no help. I still have him projected for the most targets in Cleveland, but at some point that’s a garbage-in garbage-out projection. It’s one more excuse not to touch this offense with a 10-foot pole.

I have no idea which part of that stat is the most gobsmacking. Under 3.5 red-zone routes per game for a WR1? Two catches? Three yards? A 14.3% catch rate?
It’s almost impossible to produce anything of substance with a note like that in your profile, and given that the Browns drafted not one, but two receivers inside of the top 40 picks in April, one can’t help but think his role is far from locked in.
I still have him projected as the wide receiver set to see the most targets for Cleveland this week, but at some point, that’s a garbage-in garbage-out projection process. I’m not confident on an opportunity ceiling nor the value of the chances he does get.

The Jags allowed the third-fewest yards per pass a season ago (behind only the Seahawks and Broncos), giving me an additional excuse to not touch this offense with a 10-foot pole.
