Jerry Jeudy Dealing with Hamstring Injury

Thursday, June 11, 5:15 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) was not seen on the practice field on Thursday. When asked about his absence, head coach Todd Monken said Jeudy isn't practicing due to a hamstring injury. The team wants to be extremely cautious with it being this early in camp. Fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about, as this seems like a minor issue. Jeudy is expected to be the No. 1 wide receiver on the Browns' offense heading into the 2026 season. He's looking to rebound after posting 50 receptions, 602 receiving yards, and two touchdowns with the Browns last season. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates, but Jeudy should be fine going forward.

Brian Thomas Jr. News

Brian Thomas Jr.'s Chemistry With his QB has Improved

Tuesday, June 23, 9:25 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said his chemistry with wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has improved this offseason, according to John Oehser of the team's official website. "Last year, at times we just weren't on the same page for whatever reason," Lawrence said. "We have taken a huge step in that area. He's so fast, running by guys all the time. A lot of it was looking at myself and saying, 'OK, where can I improve and get better? How can I get him the ball more accurately on time down the field, give him opportunities to go run under the ball and make plays? He's such a talented player. We just have to find those opportunities more. We talked about it a lot -- BT, Liam, all of us. It's starting to pay off, and it's just the beginning." Thomas was exceptional as a rookie in 2024, catching 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games, but he took a step back in Year 2 and finished with a 48-707-2 line in 14 regular-season games. Even with Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington having big roles in the Jags' passing attack, Thomas could bounce back in 2026 with improved chemistry with Lawrence. He'll come cheap in 2026 fantasy drafts and should be targeted as a WR3/flex with upside.
