Jerry Jeudy News
Saturday, September 12, 10:01 AM
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy enters Week 1 with a starting job, but not much fantasy security. He drew 106 targets last season and turned them into 50 catches for 602 yards and two touchdowns. Harold Fannin Jr. actually led Cleveland with 107 targets, and now first-round rookie KC Concepcion Jr. and second-rounder Denzel Boston are both starting too. That leaves Jeudy fighting for work in an offense led by Deshaun Watson, which is enough to make Sunday's matchup with Jacksonville hard to trust. The Jaguars allowed 3,707 passing yards and 25 passing touchdowns last season, but they also picked off 22 passes. RotoBaller has Jeudy at WR77 for Week 1, and its current start-sit guidance recommends Cleveland's receivers only in deeper leagues with multiple flex spots. Jeudy may still see enough snaps to matter, but there are too many questions about the target split and quarterback play. He should stay on the bench in most leagues.

Rashod Bateman News
Monday, September 14, 6:03 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman was held without a target in Week 1's 41-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Despite the lack of production, Bateman remained a key part of the offense, playing 53 of 68 snaps (78%) and leading the team in routes run (27). Bateman could see a significant increase in volume in the next few weeks, given injuries to Zay Flowers (hamstring) and Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist). The Ravens offense looked prolific in Week 1, and with the New Orleans Saints on the schedule in Week 2, Bateman could have an opportunity to produce with Flowers and Lane uncertain to play. Fantasy managers should consider adding Bateman, as he could serve as the lead receiver for star quarterback Lamar Jackson.
