Jerry Jeudy Primed for Another Big Season in Cleveland

Wednesday, July 23, 2:35 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has emerged as the team's clear-cut No. 1 receiver entering 2025. The former first-rounder broke out last season with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns. Despite leading the league in pass attempts, Cleveland ranked just 22nd in passing yards, exposing inefficiencies in the quarterback room. Enter Joe Flacco, who brings much-needed accuracy and stability to the offense. With Flacco under center, Jeudy should see even more consistent production. Diontae Johnson and Cedric Tillman will compete for the WR2 role, but Jeudy remains the focal point in Cleveland's passing attack.

Michael Pittman Jr. Tweaks his Groin

Tuesday, July 29, 1:24 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (groin) tweaked his groin at training camp practice on Tuesday and had an ice pack on it while still in pads, according to Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star. Until we know more about Pittman's injury, we will consider him day-to-day. While Pittman will remain a key contributor in the passing attack for the Colts in 2025 if he's healthy, we saw last year that the emergence of Josh Downs definitely hurt his ceiling. The 27-year-old former second-rounder caught 69 of 111 targets for 808 yards and only three touchdowns in 16 games (14 starts). The less-than-stellar quarterback play from Anthony Richardson Sr. and Joe Flacco didn't help matters. Pittman also played through a back injury for much of the year. Better health would certainly help Pittman, but it's no secret that his fantasy stock has taken a hit as more of a WR4/flex heading into the 2025 season.
