Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel Sr. or Jerry Jeudy

Saturday, October 25, 9:01 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has been cleared from the injury report ahead of Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Samuel missed only one game due to the heel injury that he's been managing for a few weeks, and will be joined by fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who returns from a four-game absence because of a quadriceps injury. Samuel has enjoyed an outstanding bounce-back season with Washington through six games, catching 34 of his 43 targets for 315 yards and three touchdowns, and has added eight rushes for 45 yards and another score on the ground. McLaurin's return could take away a few targets, but Samuel has operated as the focal point of the passing attack in his absence. He's shown more downfield ability this year and continues to be one of the best YAC threats in the league. RotoBaller ranks him as WR25 in PPR leagues for Week 8 against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy saw his disappointing 2025 season continue in a 32-13 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 8. Jeudy was unable to corral either of his two targets in the blowout loss, giving him just two catches for 17 yards over his past two games. The Cleveland No. 1 receiver overall has caught just 22 passes for 257 scoreless yards in eight games for the Browns this season, as he is shaping up as one of the more disappointing wide receivers in fantasy this season. Jeudy will be on bye in Week 9 before a Week 10 road matchup against the New York Jets. Fantasy managers can feel free to cut him loose in the next few days if there is a more enticing waiver option available.
