Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Matthew Golden

Friday, October 31, 11:25 AM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has not had the season owners expected in 2025, and it may be some time before he turns it around. When fantasy managers selected the former Alabama Crimson Tide, it was with a top 75 pick, and with the hopes that he would build off his stellar run to close out 2024. However, that hasn't been the case, as Jeudy has already been through two quarterbacks while Cleveland is scoring a paltry 15.8 points per game -- the third-lowest mark in the league. Unfortunately for the sixth-year pro, rookie QB Dillon Gabriel has had a rough go, meaning it may not be long before we see fellow first-year signal-caller Shedeur Sanders manning the helm. Cleveland's shuffling at the quarterback position has lowered both Jeudy's floor and ceiling. He's currently the PPR WR66, and not worth consideration for fantasy.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice after getting injured in Sunday's upset loss to the Carolina Panthers, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Before getting injured in Week 9, Golden caught all two of his three targets for just nine yards. The 22-year-old was being hyped during training camp and the preseason, but he has underwhelmed so far in his first year in the NFL, catching 23 passes for 262 yards and no touchdowns on 29 targets over eight games (four starts). Golden's floor should be raised now that tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is out for the year, but he still makes for a shaky WR4/flex if he's active for a Monday night showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Golden has managed only nine catches (10 targets) for 50 yards in the last three games.
