The Cleveland Browns will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Jerry Jeudy.
Is Jerry Jeudy Playing in Week 12?
Jerry Jeudy (knee) is fully practicing this week. He’s been listed on the Cleveland Browns’ injury report every week since the beginning of the season but has yet to miss a practice or a game.
Jeudy finished as fantasy’s WR5 after putting up six catches for 142 yards and a touchdown against the Saints on Sunday. His yardage total was the second-highest of his career.
We’ll continue to monitor the Browns’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jerry Jeudy in Week 12?
Jerry Jeudy recorded his first 80-yard game of the season on a single play (an 89-yard touchdown in the first quarter against the Saints) and now has 30 targets over his past three games. In each of those contests, he’s reached 70 receiving yards — the only Browns player with such a streak within a single season since 2016 is Donovan Peoples-Jones (2022).
Can he keep producing?
Jeudy’s air yards by week, 2024:
- Week 5 at Commanders: 47
- Week 6 at Eagles: 79
- Week 7 vs. Bengals: 94.8
- Week 8 vs. Ravens: 103
- Week 9 vs. Chargers: 131
- Week 11 at Saints: 160.6
You love to see the upward trajectory, but it might not mean much in this specific spot against the second-best defense in opponent passer rating on deep balls. I’ve moved Jeudy up in my ranks over the past month, but the range of outcomes remains concerning and has him slotting in as just an average Flex option in PPR formats for me this week.
Anything can happen in a Jameis Winston-led offense, but with the Steelers (twice), Broncos, and Chiefs on the schedule over the next four weeks, I’d try to avoid the temptation to overreact to the big Week 11 that may have well come on your bench.
