Jerry Jeudy Could Be a Trade Target for Receiver-Needy NFL Contenders

Monday, October 5, 9:50 AM

Cleveland Browns veteran wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has caught only five passes through the first four weeks of the 2026 season, and NFL insider Adam Schefter believes he could be a potential trade candidate ahead of the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline. The Browns have spent significant draft capital to get younger and more explosive at the skill positions, and the emergence of rookies Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion has made Jeudy an afterthought in the offense only two seasons after recording a career-high 1,229 receiving yards in his first year with the team. Jeudy's contract runs through 2027, but with a manageable cap hit, the 27-year-old could find more involvement with a receiver-needy contender, with Schefter specifically floating the Kansas City Chiefs as a potential fit.

Khalil Shakir Is Getting Tougher to Use

Saturday, October 3, 7:20 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir has become a tough player to squeeze into fantasy lineups. He caught one pass for six yards against the Chargers and sits at eight receptions for 94 yards through three games. The Bills offense is moving the ball, but that hasn't produced enough weekly volume for Shakir with DJ Moore and Dalton Kincaid more involved. New England has allowed only 510 passing yards so far, which doesn't make this an obvious rebound spot either. Shakir is WR53 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings. There will be weeks when Josh Allen's offense pulls him into fantasy relevance, but the current target and yardage totals aren't strong enough to chase. He's better left on the bench in most standard-sized leagues.
