Should You Start or Sit Jerry Jeudy in Week 14?
You mean you didn’t have Jeudy penciled in for a career day facing a Denver defense with a Player of the Year candidate?
I know I didn’t. I bet under on Jeudy’s receiving-yardage total for the game — a ticket that was dead by halftime, and one that Jeudy cleared in a single quarter not once but twice on Monday night.
Jeudy’s heat chart looks like the ideal dating profile — the ability to impress in a variety of areas with no flaws.
Of course, it has to be too good to be true, right? That perfect person on your dating app usually comes with crazy parents or 17 cats or something like that, right?
Well, Jeudy has Jameis Winston. The tandem ran as hot as the sun last week (Jeudy accounted for 73% of Winston’s deep passing yards), but let’s not lose track of the fact that he, while performing at the peak of his powers in a revenge spot, ranked third on the Browns in targets.
This matchup has too many paths to disappointment for me to lock in Jeudy as a top-24 play. Yes, he was able to produce against Pittsburgh in the Week 12 win, but he was held without a target in two of those four quarters, and that’s a scary floor to consider.
For the season, the Steelers are the fourth-best third-down defense and rank third in deep-pass interception rate. Is the upside worth the risk?
Jeudy has five straight games with at least five catches and 70 receiving yards. That’s the second-longest such streak in the NFL this season (Justin Jefferson) and the longest such run in franchise history.
I’m not saying Jeudy falls off a cliff and Flexing him is fine, but I’m resisting the urge to chase the Week 13 performance and will be looking elsewhere in DFS. He’s going to project well, given that the main slate pricing comes out ahead of Monday Night Football.
