Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Jauan Jennings

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught six of his 13 targets for 63 yards in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. Jeudy set a new Cleveland Browns record by snagging his 90th catch of the season in the fourth quarter, breaking Hall of Fame tight end Ozzie Newsome's previous single-season team record of 89. The veteran wideout started off slow in 2024 but came on strong at the midpoint of the season to post career highs in catches and receiving yards. Cleveland is likely to bolster their receiving corps in the offseason but Jeudy did enough to be considered the team's No. 1 receiver heading into the 2025 season.

Per the team's transcript on Thursday, San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak noted that wide receiver Jauan Jennings still views himself as the No.1 guy in San Francisco. Specifically, Kubiak was asked if Jennings would resume WR1 duties for the team with uncertainty surrounding teammate Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) status. "I think, if you ask Jauan, he says 'I'm No. 1," he replied. "And that's his mindset, and that's why we love Jauan." The 27-year-old was an afterthought in fantasy drafts last summer, but injuries opened up opportunity, and the former seventh-round pick ran with it. Jennings led all 49ers pass-catchers not named George Kittle in receptions (77), yards (975), and touchdowns (six). He may have to stave off a second-year ascension from fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall, but Jennings should again have a shot to be productive in 2025.
