Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Christian Watson

Through six weeks, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has yet to top five receptions while averaging only 40 yards per game, and it's been even worse in his two starts with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Since Gabriel took over in Week 5, Jeudy has averaged 3.5 receptions and 29 yards per game. With an offensive line struggling in pass protection, the Browns have shifted to a short passing attack that does not play to Jeudy's strengths. Coupled with a week of limited practice participation, Jeudy can be left on the bench by fantasy managers when the Browns take on the Dolphins in Week 7. Even with a heavy slate of byes scheduled for Week 8, Jeudy is approaching cut candidacy in a limited Cleveland offense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) will have to wait another week to make his 2025 season debut, as he's officially been ruled out for the Week 7 contest on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Watson remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list after tearing his ACL in Week 18 of last year. He had his 21-day practice window opened last Wednesday, but he has yet to put in a full practice, going six straight practices as a limited participant. As long as the 26-year-old can upgrade to a full practice at some point next week, he should be officially activated from the PUP to be active in next week's contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Injuries continue to be an issue for Watson, but when healthy, he'll be an explosive deep-threat option for quarterback Jordan Love, making him stash-worthy for those in need of WR depth in the second half of the season.
