Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or George Pickens

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught two of his four targets for 17 yards in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Jeudy was quiet on a rainy, windy day in Cleveland, which saw the Browns attempt just 18 passes and throw for only 116 yards. While the weather played into Jeudy's slow performance in Week 7, it doesn't account for his disappointing second season with the Browns. Jeudy has now caught just 22 passes for 257 scoreless yards through seven games. He will look to bounce back in a Week 8 road matchup against a New England Patriots defense that is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers in fantasy thus far. Jeudy sets up as a low-end WR4/flex option for Week 8.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is having an excellent first season in Dallas, and the Cowboys could be considering an extension for him. "Any and everything about George Pickens has crossed our minds. ... Certainly he's a topic of interest and discussions because of the success he's having," owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday on 105.3 The Fan. The 24-year-old currently has 36 receptions on 54 targets for 607 yards and a career-high six touchdowns through the first seven weeks of the 2025 campaign. Those numbers have been good enough to place Pickens as the No. 4 fantasy wideout in half-PPR scoring. It helped that fellow wideout CeeDee Lamb missed three games due to a high-ankle sprain, but Pickens was still productive with four catches and 82 yards in Week 7 after Lamb returned. He should continue to remain heavily involved in Dallas' pass-heavy attack along Lamb, making him a weekly must-start in fantasy.
