Should I Start Jerry Jeudy in Week 3? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy missed the team's season-opening loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 with a hamstring injury. He returned in Week 2 but caught just three of his five targets for 25 yards.

The Alabama product finished the 2022 campaign strong but after a shaky start to 2023, he's on the start 'em, sit 'em bubble heading into Week 3.

Jerry Jeudy Fantasy Football Outlook

The Broncos are set to face the Miami Dolphins on the road in Week 3. Miami's offense looks like it can contend to be the best unit in the NFL this year, and after Denver was torched by Jakobi Meyers in Week 1 and looked putrid on defense in Week 2 -- the Dolphins are primed for an offensive explosion.

That said, Russell Wilson will likely have to attempt a ton of passes in a negative game script in an attempt to keep Denver in the game. Assuming Jeudy is mostly recovered from his hamstring issue, he has a double-digit target upside.

He's still a risky fantasy option after his shaky start to the season, but there is a path to upside in this spot.

Jerry Jeudy Wide Receiver Rankings Analysis

Our consensus staff rankings have Jeudy in the WR33 spot for Week 3 (half-PPR). He has a high ceiling if the Broncos are forced to pass 40-plus times, but he cannot be ranked any higher based on what we've seen thus far.

He ranks just behind Christian Kirk and Jordan Addison and just ahead of Michael Thomas and Jahan Dotson in our Week 3 wide receiver pecking order.

Should I Start Jerry Jeudy In Week 3 Fantasy Football?

The "Who Should I Start" tool tells us Jeudy should be started over low-end WR3 or WR4s like Elijah Moore and Tutu Atwell, but should be benched for players such as Drake London and Michael Pittman Jr.

Whether or not you should start Jeudy depends on the depth at wideout on your fantasy roster. As mentioned above, he has a wide range of outcomes for Week 3.
