Jerry Jeudy No Longer the No. 1 Option in Cleveland

Wednesday, August 5, 5:41 AM

The Cleveland Browns spent two top 40 picks on the wide receiver position in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with both rookies standing out in their first training camp, The Athletic's Zac Jackson believes veteran Jerry Jeudy's time as the de facto number one receiver could be drawing to a close. Jackson specifically points to the emergence of second-rounder Denzel Boston as an inciting factor in a potential depth chart shakeup. The Browns spent a first-round pick on KC Concepcion, who has worked primarily out of the slot through the early stages of training camp but has the versatility to share the field with Boston in two-receiver sets. Jeudy led the team with 105 targets in 2025, but connecting on fewer than half of those looks, he ended the year with only 602 yards and two scores on his way to a WR53 finish. With little change at the quarterback position but increased competition in his own room, Jeudy is not a player who needs to be targeted in 2026, falling to WR66 in RotoBaller's latest rankings.

Jauan Jennings Is Worth a Late-Round Bet in Minnesota

Saturday, August 8, 11:36 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings is going late enough in drafts that last year's drop in yardage shouldn't scare fantasy managers away. Jennings caught 55 passes for 643 yards in 15 games for San Francisco, but he also scored a career-high nine touchdowns while playing through a collection of injuries that included five broken ribs. That came one year after he posted 77 catches for 975 yards. Minnesota doesn't need Jennings to be its top receiver with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison around, and T.J. Hockenson gives whichever quarterback wins the job another established target. There is still room for Jennings to matter, though. He gives the Vikings a physical veteran underneath and has shown he can produce when his role expands. The unsettled competition between J.J. McCarthy and Kyler Murray adds some uncertainty, but the price has already accounted for plenty of it. RotoBaller ranks Jennings 147th overall in half-PPR, while his current consensus ADP sits at 173.9. At that point in a draft, his track record is worth taking a chance on.
