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.

Packers Sign Christian Watson to a Four-Year Extension

Thursday, June 4, 8:22 AM

The Green Bay Packers have signed wide receiver Christian Watson to a four-year, $110.5 million extension, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The deal includes a $31 million signing bonus. Watson is a very talented receiver and former first-round pick, but injuries have plagued him over the years. He has missed 20 games in four years since entering the league, including the first six weeks of the 2025 season. With that being said, he's productive when healthy. He caught 35 passes for 611 yards and six touchdowns across 10 games last year, ranking as the overall WR9 in PPR leagues from Week 9-17. Watson's role is only expected to grow in 2026, now that Romeo Doubs has departed for New England. Watson projects as the Packers' No. 1 receiver ahead of players like Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden. An AAV of $26M+ is a big investment for a receiver with a significant injury history, but when he's healthy, he's worth every penny. As it stands, Watson is the WR42 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
