Jerry Jeudy 2022 NFL Player Outlook: This Could Be His Year
2 years agoDenver Broncos' third-year wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is looking to build a rapport with the team's new quarterback Russell Wilson. Injuries impacted Jeudy's 2021 campaign, but things are trending up for this season. He missed six games last season due to a high-ankle sprain. The 23-year-old could not find the end zone and caught 38-of-56 targets for 467 receiving yards across 10 in 2021. During his last two seasons, Jeudy owned a 21 percent share of the team's passing targets. With Wilson under center, the quality of targets will dramatically increase, which should help Jeudy's production. He is currently being drafted at a 63.09 average draft position, making him a mid-round option in fantasy drafts. He is considered a cheap speculative asset this year. If the addition of Wilson can improve the passing game, then Jeudy will see a step up in production. This is what many fantasy gamers are betting on. Wilson is one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the league, and his ability to spread the ball around and keep the chains moving should only help the offense. This could be the year we see Jeudy take a step forward in his development.
