Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Christian Watson

Monday, November 10, 12:55 AM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught six of his 12 targets for 78 yards and his first touchdown of the season in a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets. Jeudy set season highs in every receiving category except for targets and logged his first double-digit PPR performance since Week 1. The 26-year-old has mightily struggled with drops this season while navigating a tough offensive environment with the Browns. Entering Week 10, his eight drops ranked second most among all pass catchers, and his 40.7% catch rate was the third lowest out of 186 players, per Pro Football Reference. The veteran wideout took advantage of a Jets defense that just traded away top cornerback Sauce Gardner and will look to build on the strong performance in Week 11 versus the Baltimore Ravens.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could move up in the pecking order for targets as the Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. With the knee injury to tight end Tucker Kraft that ended his season, Watson could be the biggest beneficiary of Kraft being out of the lineup. Watson has four targets in each of his two games since returning from an ACL injury in Week 18 last year, but his workload has ramped up from 65% of routes per dropback in Week 8 to 75% in Week 9. With the litany of injuries surrounding the Packers' pass-catchers, somebody other than Romeo Doubs will have to take the initiative and earn more targets in this offense. With Watson now healthy, he seems like the best bet for that job right now for Green Bay. With the Packers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, consider Watson a flex option for fantasy, with the potential for much more.
