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.

Rashod Bateman Misses Practice on Monday

Monday, July 28, 4:25 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (illness) was sent home on Monday due to an illness, according to Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. There's no reason to think this will be a long-term absence for Bateman, but he could conceivably miss the next few days of practice as well. The 25-year-old is coming off the best season of his career in 2024 when he recorded 45 catches for 756 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 games. Baltimore added some talent to the wide receiver room with the offseason addition of DeAndre Hopkins, but Bateman still profiles as an important piece of the team's offense. The Ravens' low-volume passing offense limits Bateman's fantasy upside, but he has some boom/bust appeal as a flex option in deep leagues due to his ability to make plays down the field.
