Jerry Jeudy

Jeudy fell flat instead of breaking out in Year 2, unable to build momentum after a promising finish to his 856-yard rookie campaign. He got off to a fast start in the season opener last year with five catches before halftime, only to suffer a high-ankle sprain in the third quarter. Jeudy returned to a sputtering offense at the end of October and didn't help much, averaging 3.6 catches for 43.9 yards on 5.3 targets in his final nine games (without a TD all year). The silver lining? He caught 68 percent of his targets, and 8.2 YPT was solid for a guy who dealt with bad QB play and took 68 percent of his snaps from the slot. Jeudy figures to spend a lot of time in the slot again this season, but it'll look different with Russell Wilson replacing Teddy Bridgewater and Drew Lock. The former Seahawk had a role in three consecutive 1,000-yard, eight-TD seasons from Tyler Lockett, another speedy receiver who often aligns in the slot but can also do damage outside. While Jeudy isn't physically dominant - 4.45 40, 193 pounds - he's fast enough to pull off some of the slickest route-running you'll see from a 23-year-old receiver. He also has the blue-chip pedigree, with two huge seasons at Alabama leading up to an early declare and first-round selection. Whether that translates to big-time volume remains to be seen, as the Broncos also have Courtland Sutton under contract long term and 2020 second-round pick KJ Hamler hoping to earn snaps, but Jeudy should be aided by the fact that Tim Patrick suffered a torn ACL during training camp.
