Jerry Jeudy Tough to Trust in Week 5

Saturday, October 4, 10:24 AM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy will take on the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. Jeudy has been quiet to start the season, catching 13 passes for 182 scoreless yards through four games. He is unlikely to break out against a Vikings defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, especially with quarterback Dillon Gabriel making his NFL debut. Jeudy is best treated as a WR4 heading into Week 5, although the absence of Cedric Tillman (hamstring) might push a bit more work onto Jeudy's plate.

Ladd McConkey Scores First Touchdown in Week 5 Loss

Monday, October 6, 5:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey finally reached the end zone on Sunday, catching five of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the team's 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. It was a much-needed bounce-back after last week's poor performance, demonstrating that he can be trusted again in short-yardage and red-zone situations. He also had a 57-yard punt return touchdown called back by a penalty, one of 10 penalties that disrupted L.A.'s rhythm all day. With rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) placed on IR, the Chargers might need to rely more on their receivers, and McConkey's dependable hands could earn him more targets against a vulnerable Miami Dolphins secondary in Week 6.
