Can Jerry Jeudy Bounce Back from Underwhelming 2025 Campaign?

Monday, March 16, 10:08 AM

Across 17 games in 2025, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy recorded just 50 receptions for 602 yards and two touchdowns on 106 targets. With a catch rate of under 50%, Jeudy was one of the least efficient high-target wideouts in the NFL. His struggles were not entirely his fault, as Cleveland rotated through a cast of underwhelming starting quarterbacks in Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders. Still, Jeudy's 2025 production was a stark decline from his Pro-Bowl 2024 output, when he hauled in 90 receptions for over 1,200 yards. Heading into 2026, there's no guarantee that the quarterback situation in Cleveland will be improved. Barring a draft-day addition, Sanders and Gabriel appear poised to compete for the starting job in training camp. On a more positive note, Jeudy should not face much internal competition for targets outside of young tight end Harold Fannin Jr. Still, Jeudy's dynasty value is trending in the wrong direction after his disappointing 2025.

George Pickens News

George Pickens Expected to Hold Out Until Long-Term Deal is Reached

Friday, February 27, 12:45 PM

The Dallas Cowboys officially placed the franchise tag on impending free-agent wide receiver George Pickens on Friday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Now the two sides will try to work out a long-term contract extension before the July 15 deadline, with executive vice president Stephen Jones saying that the team isn't putting any timeframe on it. Rapoport said he does not expect Pickens to report to the team's facilities "unless and until there is a long-term deal." Rapoport also wonders if there is a team out there that would be willing to give up a premium draft pick and sign Pickens to a long-term deal themselves to try to pry the 24-year-old away from Dallas for 2026 and beyond. If Dallas and Pickens are unable to reach a long-term deal by July 15, and he's not traded, he'd play the upcoming season on a one-year, fully guaranteed $28 million contract. All signs point to the former second-rounder playing in Dallas again in 2026, where he had a career-best 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Pickens is a locked-in WR1 in fantasy for this fall.
