Browns Say Jerry Jeudy Will Not Be Impacted by Rookies

Sunday, April 26, 12:13 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy led the team with 105 targets in 2025, and despite spending first and second round picks upgrading the position, general manager Andrew Berry told reporters shortly after the second night of the draft that the selections of KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston would have "zero impact" on Jeudy. He went on to explain his preference for building a receiver room like a basketball team with a variety of skill sets. In that context, Jeudy is likely to serve as the primary Z-receiver in Todd Monken's offense. So while his role may not be challenged by the drafting of a prototypical slot and a big-bodied X, he's unlikely to see the sort of volume that he has in his first two seasons with the Browns. Poor quarterback play and the highest drop rate since his rookie season led to an abysmal 47.6% reception percentage and only 602 yards, so Jeudy is still capable of topping his WR51 finish from 2025 with heightened efficiency, but a drop to his target share should be expected with the additions of Concepcion and Boston and an anticipated step forward from tight end Harold Fannin Jr., who already saw 103 targets as a rookie.

Packers "Clearing the Way" for Matthew Golden on WR Depth Chart

Wednesday, April 15, 10:45 AM

The Green Bay Packers are "clearing the way" for wide receiver Matthew Golden to move up the depth chart as he heads into his second season in the NFL, writes Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers let Romeo Doubs walk in free agency and then recently traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Packers never made Golden, a first-rounder (23rd overall) in 2025, a focal point of the offense last year, and he finished with just 29 catches for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games. Golden caught four passes for 84 yards and his first career touchdown reception in the playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. "I think his ceiling is very, very high. We're very, very excited about what he's going to do for our football team moving forward," general manager Brian Gutekunst said. Christian Watson will be the Packers' No. 1 wideout and big-play threat, but he's also been very injury-prone in his career. Jayden Reed is also expected to have a bigger role, but with both Doubs and Wicks out of town, Golden should be much more involved in 2026 after he let his frustration with his rookie role be known. In single-year leagues, Golden will be a WR4/flex option with big-play abilities and still plenty of upside.
