Jerry Jeudy Fantasy Overview

2024 Summary

Production & Fantasy Finishes

Jeudy posted career highs in targets (144), receptions (90), and yards (1,229), finishing 16th among WRs in total PPR fantasy points (236.9).

But his 13.9 PPR points per game ranked just 30th. That was well below his WR13 expected points per game, due to low TD output (4) and inconsistency.

He managed two top-5 finishes but also failed to crack the top 24 in 11 games.

Usage & Role

Jeudy operated primarily as an outside receiver (64% snaps). His role shifted dramatically based on Amari Cooper’s presence:

• With Cooper (6 games): 6.0 targets per game, WR64 in PPR points per game
• Without Cooper (11 games): 9.9 targets per game, WR10 in PPR points per game

He commanded a 23.6% target share without Cooper and was clearly the focal point of the passing game in those games.

Efficiency Metrics

Jeudy’s efficiency remained middling despite the increased production:

• 75.2 PFF receiving grade (34th of 84 WRs with 50+ targets)
• 1.72 yards per route (38th)
• 3.9 yards after catch per reception (36th)

His 8.7% drop rate (24th) was slightly elevated but not disastrous.

Offensive Context

Cleveland’s offense, under OC Ken Dorsey, ranked second in pace and fifth in pass rate (65%), creating plenty of opportunity.

The offensive line finished 10th in pass blocking, helping support a high-volume aerial attack that often had to play from behind.

Jeudy benefited most when Cooper missed time, opening up available targets for him.

Historical Production & Trends

2024 marked Jeudy’s first 1,000-yard season and the highest fantasy finish of his career.

His 145 targets and 90 receptions were both personal bests.

Injury History

Jeudy stayed healthy across all 17 games in 2024, his first full season since 2020.

In 2021, a high ankle sprain cost him six games.

In 2022, Jeudy dealt with another ankle issue, causing him to miss two games.

In 2023, a hamstring injury during practice kept him out for the first week of the season.

2025 Expectations

Projected Role & Competition

Jeudy projects as Cleveland’s top WR heading into 2024.

The Browns did add WR Diontae Johnson in free agency and bring back a healthy Cedric Tillman.

The rest of the group leaves a lot to be desired, including Jamari Thrash, David Bell, and Deandre Carter.

Jeudy should see a full complement of snaps and play both outside and in the slot.

Supporting Cast

The Browns QB situation is among the worst in the NFL.

They traded for QB Kenny Pickett and added QB Joe Flacco, neither boasting a starting QB profile.

Adding third-round pick Dillon Gabriel and fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders doesn’t move the needle either.

The Browns’ OL returns all five starters from a unit that ranked 10th in ESPN’s pass block win rate last year.

Coaching & Offensive Scheme

Cleveland’s offense drastically changed in 2024 under OC Ken Dorsey, jumping from a 56.4% pass rate in 2023 up to a 65.0% pass rate. The Browns ranked top five in pass attempts.

Despite ranking last in points scored, the Browns ranked top-10 in pass volume and neutral pass rate (59.7%).

Those numbers could dip with the potential for worse QB play, but a high pass rate and pace should help Jeudy produce enough volume to be fantasy relevant.
