Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Ricky Pearsall

Saturday, December 6, 1:01 PM

Across 12 games this season, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has recorded 35 catches for 421 yards and one touchdown on 80 targets. The 26-year-old hasn't been much better in two games since Shedeur Sanders took over as Cleveland's starting quarterback, recording four catches for 65 yards on seven targets over the last two weeks. In Week 14, Jeudy and the Browns will take on the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee enters the week ranked 31st among NFL defenses in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9). However, the Titans are a more respectable 19th in total passing yards allowed (2,832). The Browns could look to lean on their defense and run game in Week 14, which would be a negative for Jeudy's production upside. He profiles as a low-end WR4/deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in Week 14.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has not had the second-year breakout that many were predicting back in training camp. Injuries have been a big issue yet again, as he didn't return from a PCL sprain in his knee until Week 11 after getting hurt in Week 4. In three games since his return, the 25-year-old former first-rounder has caught only five passes for 20 yards on nine targets. Overall, he's sporting a 25-347-0 line in seven games. It's not like he hasn't been on the field since his return, as he's played at least 75% of the snaps in all three games. Fantasy managers who have hung onto Pearsall will be hoping that the Niners will devise a plan to get him more involved when they come out of their Week 14 bye to face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Dec. 14. Better days could be ahead, but Pearsall is likely to continue to struggle for a high target share in an offense that has plenty of mouths to feed between Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and Jauan Jennings.
