2023 Fantasy Football Player Profile: Jerry Jeudy

Jerry Jeudy has constantly improved: Jeudy’s PFF grade has improved each season, and he is still at an age where we can expect him to get even better.
Sean Payton’s offense presents a new challenge: Jeudy has played for multiple offensive minds in his short NFL career, but he is now with a coach with a long track record of getting his top wide receiver a great fantasy season.
Injuries to Denver Broncos wide receivers increase the pressure: Tim Patrick is out for the season while K.J. Hamler was waived, giving Jeudy less competition and more responsibility.

Jerry Jeudy‘s player outlook

Jones has improved each season and doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

He received a 65.2 grade as a rookie, 68.7 in 2021 and 78.4 in 2022.
While he’s played three seasons since being drafted 15th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, he is still only 24 years old.
He has been great at making plays after the catch leading to big gains.
Jeudy has 0.165 receiving avoided tackles per reception over the last three seasons, which is tied for seventh out of 72 wide receivers with at least 920 routes.
He became particularly efficient last season with 2.18 yards per route run leading to 0.448 fantasy points per route, which ranked 10th and 13th among wide receivers respectively.
The former Alabama receiver finished last season 22nd in fantasy points for wide receivers and 20th in points per game.
Jeudy experienced a slow start to the season, staying under 60 yards in five of his first six games. He ended much better, finishing with at least 60 yards in seven of his last nine. One of the games he failed to reach 60 yards is when he was injured on his first play of the game.
He scored the third-most fantasy points over the last five weeks of the season thanks to a three-touchdown performance and two 100-yard games.
He has played significantly both in the slot and lined up out wide throughout his career. His target share has been higher in the slot, but yards per route run have been higher lined up out wide.
