BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~66
ANALYSIS: Jerry Jeudy was an outstanding collegiate player who earned first-round draft capital and had a solid rookie season, displaying explosiveness and terrific route-running en route to 856 yards on just 52 catches, good for 16.5 yards per catch. Last year, he suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 and struggled basically all season. Throughout both his rookie and sophomore campaigns, Jeudy had to deal with atrocious QB play.
With Russell Wilson now a Bronco, Jeudy will have his first real NFL QB, and one that has historically always made his teammates better. Healthy with a great QB in a potentially great offense, Jeudy is an outstanding bet in the middle rounds.
Anyone who points to his drops as some kind of huge negative doesn't understand that typically the league leaders in drops are some of the best WRs in the league - they just get thrown to a lot. Coming off a high ankle sprain with bad QBs, Jeudy still had the same average separation per route (3.6) as Cooper Kupp and Tyreek Hill last season.
The Broncos also lost Tim Patrick for the season last month. Patrick would have commanded a lot of targets as a dependable possession receiver. Either Courtland Sutton or Jeudy will earn a huge target share and perform as a borderline fantasy WR1. I'll bet on the younger more explosive player with the better draft capital.
