Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Isiah Pacheco

Monday, September 15, 8:24 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is off to a decent, yet unspectacular, start to the 2025 season. Through two games, Jeudy has caught nine of his 16 targets for 117 scoreless yards as the Cleveland offense has struggled mightily thus far. The veteran's receiving yardage is good enough to lead the Browns so far, showing just how much moving the football has been an issue. Jeudy will look to break out at home in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have been tough on defense thus far, as they shut down the Detroit Lions' receivers in Week 1 and gave up just 92 receiving yards and a touchdown combined to Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel in Week 2. Jeudy is looking like a WR4 in fantasy unless the Browns can straighten out their offensive issues.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2. The defending Super Bowl champions defeated the Chiefs in their last matchup, and Pacheco only had seven rushing yards on three carries. The 26-year-old will have the chance to exact some revenge, but he must first overcome the timeshare he's in with Kareem Hunt. Pacheco and Hunt had the same number of opportunities in Week 1; both handled five carries and two catches on three targets. The former ultimately finished with more total yards, but it was not an impressive performance by either back. Pacheco did manage 5.0 yards per carry when given the opportunity, so maybe he can build on that efficiency with more usage. That said, the Eagles defense was one of the toughest in the league to run against last season, and that looks to be the case again this year. Pacheco will have his work cut out for him if he wants to carve out a larger role in the Kansas City backfield. Pacheco is ranked RB35 in our RotoBaller rankings this week, making him an RB3/Flex option. He'll be a tough player to trust this week.
