Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Brian Thomas Jr.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has emerged as the team's clear-cut No. 1 receiver entering 2025. The former first-rounder broke out last season with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns. Despite leading the league in pass attempts, Cleveland ranked just 22nd in passing yards, exposing inefficiencies in the quarterback room. Enter Joe Flacco, who brings much-needed accuracy and stability to the offense. With Flacco under center, Jeudy should see even more consistent production. Diontae Johnson and Cedric Tillman will compete for the WR2 role, but Jeudy remains the focal point in Cleveland's passing attack.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. burst onto the NFL scene last year after being taken with the No. 23 overall pick out of LSU. Even on a bad team with spotty quarterback play, Thomas managed to catch 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games (16 starts). The Athletic's Jeff Howe thinks that if the Trevor Lawrence-Liam Coen pairing works out the way it's envisioned, Thomas could be even better. Rookie first-round wideout Travis Hunter will be on the other side of the field drawing attention away from Thomas, too. It's not a stretch to think that Thomas could become a household name in his sophomore season in 2025, which is why RotoBaller has him ranked as a top-10 fantasy pass-catcher. The 22-year-old had si straight games with at least 10 targets and 76 yards a year ago.
