BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 54% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Denver Broncos saw their top wide receiver, Courtland Sutton, exit Sunday night's loss to the New England Patriots with a concussion, something that stands a good chance of keeping Sutton on the sidelines next week when the Broncos face a porous Chargers pass defense.
Jerry Jeudy, now in his fourth season out of Alabama, is having a largely disappointing year, averaging just 44.6 receiving yards per game, a new career low. Still, if Sutton misses time, Jeudy will likely step into the No. 1 receiver role for this contest, giving him some strong fantasy upside against this Los Angeles defense.
Of course, it's worth acknowledging that Jeudy has really struggled lately. He hasn't recorded more than three catches in a game since Week 11 and there's a chance that rookie Marvin Mims Jr. winds up outplaying him in Week 17. Mims is the higher upside option, but Jeudy is the safest Broncos receiver for next week's game against the Chargers, even though he had one of his worst games of the year when these teams last met, catching just two of his six targets for 16 yards.
