Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Michael Pittman Jr.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy only had three receptions in the 31-28 comeback win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Week 4, but that was enough to give him a team-leading 52 receiving yards. Jeudy also tied for the team lead (with Courtland Sutton) in targets on the day with five. The bad news is that the 24-year-old wasn't the recipient of any of quarterback Russell Wilson's three touchdown passes in the Windy City. Jeudy sat out of the season opener due to a hamstring injury and now has 11 catches on 17 targets for 158 yards and no touchdowns in his first three games of the 2023 season. It's been a pretty mediocre start, but Jeudy is still one of Wilson's favorite targets and should continue to be the rest of the way. He has a tough matchup with the stingy New York Jets defense in Week 5.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is coming off another strong performance in Week 3, in which he caught nine passes for 77 yards. Pittman Jr. has been the No. 1 option in this Colts passing attack, receiving over ten targets a week in each of his first three games. The third-year-receiver will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, a secondary that has allowed an average of only 181 passing yards this season, good for seventh best in the league. Despite the tougher matchup, Pittman Jr.'s target share sets him up as a solid PPR WR2 option with a slightly lower ceiling than in previous weeks.
