Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Ladd McConkey

Wednesday, December 10, 11:12 AM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has struggled to be efficient for most of the 2025 season, recording 38 catches for 497 yards and two touchdowns on 85 targets across 13 games. However, Cleveland's recent quarterback switch from Dillon Gabriel to Shedeur Sanders could prove to be a boost for Jeudy's production. In Cleveland's Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, Jeudy recorded three catches for 76 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Sanders threw for 364 passing yards in the game, which was the first time a Cleveland quarterback had reached even 250 passing yards since Joe Flacco did it in Week 1. If Sanders is truly raising the ceiling of the Browns' offense, Juedy could be in line for a strong close to the season. He profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey participated in limited practices this week due to a foot issue but does not carry an injury designation and is expected to remain the primary target in the passing game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Last week, McConkey led the team with five targets and 144 air yards but caught only one pass for 12 yards as the Philadelphia Eagles effectively shut down the Chargers' pass attack. Facing a Chiefs defense that has surrendered the ninth-fewest passing yards this season, McConkey will likely draw slot coverage from Chamarri Connor, who allows a high 85.4% catch rate but a low 7.8 aDOT. This points to the Chiefs being vulnerable to volume underneath, which is exactly where McConkey excels when Justin Herbert is under pressure. If fellow wide receiver Quentin Johnston (groin) misses the game, expect even more targets and usage. RotoBaller ranks McConkey as WR24 this week, making him a risky low-end WR2 with upside thanks to his high air yard share and red zone looks, despite the tough matchup and offensive struggles.
