Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Darnell Mooney

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy led the team with 105 targets in 2025, and despite spending first and second round picks upgrading the position, general manager Andrew Berry told reporters shortly after the second night of the draft that the selections of KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston would have "zero impact" on Jeudy. He went on to explain his preference for building a receiver room like a basketball team with a variety of skill sets. In that context, Jeudy is likely to serve as the primary Z-receiver in Todd Monken's offense. So while his role may not be challenged by the drafting of a prototypical slot and a big-bodied X, he's unlikely to see the sort of volume that he has in his first two seasons with the Browns. Poor quarterback play and the highest drop rate since his rookie season led to an abysmal 47.6% reception percentage and only 602 yards, so Jeudy is still capable of topping his WR51 finish from 2025 with heightened efficiency, but a drop to his target share should be expected with the additions of Concepcion and Boston and an anticipated step forward from tight end Harold Fannin Jr., who already saw 103 targets as a rookie.
