Jerry Jeudy News
Saturday, September 5, 12:52 PM
Jerry Jeudy is listed as a starting wide receiver for Week 1 on the Cleveland Browns' depth chart, but his exact role remains uncertain. Cleveland head coach Todd Monken is expected to move Jeudy around as a Z or F receiver, instead of his usual role as an X, which is generally considered a team's No. 1 wideout. However, Monken noted that Jeudy could still play as the X as well. With rookie Denzel Boston now expected to play the X spot, fellow rookie wideout KC Concepcion also emerging as a starter, and tight end Harold Fannin Jr. expected to remain heavily involved, Jeudy may not see as many targets as he did last season (106). Jeudy ranked second on Cleveland in 2025 with receptions (50) and receiving yards (602), behind Fannin. He also scored just two touchdowns. Jeudy, RotoBaller's No. 77 wide receiver (half-PPR), is currently rostered in just 12% of Yahoo leagues, but is somebody to monitor in the later rounds of upcoming fantasy football drafts.

Xavier Worthy News
Friday, September 4, 11:45 AM
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy still has a believable path back to the player fantasy managers saw as a rookie. He caught 59 passes for 638 yards and six touchdowns in 2024, then added 104 rushing yards and three more scores. Last season never really got going. Worthy dislocated his shoulder and tore his labrum on the third snap of Week 1, missed two games and played through the injury before having surgery in January. He finished with 42 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown. This summer brought another scare when Worthy sprained the same shoulder on Aug. 1, but he returned to practice nine days later and was back working with the offense later in camp. He remains a starter opposite Rashee Rice on Kansas City's current depth chart. Rice and Travis Kelce will keep the target ceiling in check, and the shoulder history can't be ignored. Still, Worthy's WR45 ranking leaves room for a rebound if better health brings back some of the explosiveness and touchdown production from his rookie year.
