Jerry Jeudy News
Friday, April 3, 10:45 AM
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is coming off a frustrating 2025 season in which he caught just 50 passes for 602 yards and two touchdowns. Despite being healthy for all 17 games as the Browns' No. 1 receiver, he finished as just the WR52 in PPR leagues. Part of the blame can be attributed to the poor quarterback play of Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, but we still would have expected Jeudy to see enough volume to consistently get on the fantasy radar. This is nothing new for Jeudy, unfortunately. The former first-round pick has ranked as the WR47 or lower in five of his NFL seasons. He has just two top-45 finishes. We can expect more of the same in 2026 as Jeudy returns to an offense led by either Sanders or Deshaun Watson. Managers can't justify dropping him in dynasty leagues as long as he's the Browns' No. 1 receiver, but he's certainly not worth starting in fantasy lineups. He's worth holding for now in hopes that you can trade him after a flukey big week.

George Pickens News
Tuesday, March 31, 12:05 PM
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday that the team has "long-term plans" for franchise-tagged wide receiver George Pickens, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Jones added that he has no issues with negotiations on a long-term extension for Pickens going through agent David Mulugheta. The long-time owner also said that if Pickens "worked without an agent, he'd save a lot of money." The Cowboys have made it clear that they want to keep the 25-year-old around long-term after he broke out to the tune of 93 catches (137 targets), 1,429 yards, and nine touchdowns in 17 games in 2025, but Jones and Dallas' front office have a history of taking things down to the wire. Thus, it seems likely that Pickens is destined for a lengthy holdout this offseason that could seep into training camp in the summer as he seeks an extension with the team. At the very least, the former second-rounder will be in Dallas for one more season in 2026, and he'll be a clear WR1 target in fantasy drafts after his big first season with the Cowboys.
