Jerry Jeudy caught all 6 of his targets for 85 yards, including 2 catches for 19 yards on the Browns go-ahead drive late in the 4th quarter.

Paces pass catchers in win

Jeudy brought in all six targets for 85 yards in the Browns' 24-19 win over the Steelers on Thursday night.

Analysis: Jeudy led the Browns in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, turning in a solid encore to the 6-142-1 line he'd generated four days earlier against the Saints. Jeudy's talent has been evident since the move to Jameis Winston at quarterback, as he's now recorded at least five catches and 73 yards in the last four games with the veteran signal-caller under center. Jeudy will now have extra time to ramp up for a game that's likely to evoke a bit of additional incentive, a Week 13…read more

Breaks out in Week 11 loss

Jeudy caught six of 11 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Saints.

Analysis: The former Bronco was Jameis Winston's top downfield option, and most of Jeudy's production came on an 89-yard score in the first quarter. It's only the wideout's second TD of the year and his first since Cleveland's season opener, but if Winston -- who threw for 395 yards Sunday -- is regaining the form that saw him lead the league in passing yards in 2019, Jeudy figures to be in line for a big finish to the campaign. The Browns' aerial attack will face a tougher test in Week 12 against the…read more

Seven catches in loss

Jeudy secured seven of 11 targets for 73 yards in the Browns' 27-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

Analysis: Jeudy set the pace in receptions while sharing the lead in targets with Cedric Tillman on a difficult afternoon overall for Jameis Winston. Jeudy has now exceeded 70 receiving yards in back-to-back games for the first time as a member of the Browns and logged 25 targets over the last three contests, affording him a formidable fantasy floor heading into a Week 11 road matchup against the Saints following a Week 10 bye.

Cleared despite limited practices

Jeudy (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he'll be available Sunday against the Chargers. Recent personnel developments in Cleveland seem to have elevated Jeudy's fantasy stock, as Amari Cooper (wrist) was traded to Buffalo and Jameis Winston replaced Deshaun Watson (Achilles) under center. Jeudy was held to one catch in the first game after Cooper was traded, but the former bounced back with 79 receiving yards Week 8 against the Ravens as Winston made his first start…read more

Limited practice Thursday

Jeudy (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.

Analysis: Jeudy practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the Browns' injury report a day later makes his status worth tracking. The team's upcoming injury report will relay whether the wideout approaches Sunday's game against the Chargers with an injury designation or cleared for Week 9 action.

Reason for optimism with Winston

Jeudy recorded five receptions on eight targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens.

Analysis: The entire Browns offense saw a boost with Jameis Winston under center, and Jeudy immediately managed one of his more impactful performances of the season. He got off to a relatively slow start with only one catch in the first half, but he got things going in the final two quarters with long gains of 30 and 14 yards. Even with unsustainable volume -- Winston took to the air 41 times -- there should be optimism that Jeudy will show improvement across the second half of the season with Winston as…read more

One catch for third straight week

Jeudy caught one of five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Cincinnati in Week 7.

Analysis: Jeudy ascended to the No. 1 receiver spot Sunday, the Browns' first game after the club traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo, but it didn't shake Jeudy out of a recent funk. He was limited to one catch for a third consecutive game, while he watched tight end David Njoku (14 targets) and Cedric Tillman (12) benefit the most from Cooper's departure. The game also featured a potentially season-ending injury to quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles') and an injury to backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson…read more

Ascends to No. 1 role

Jeudy is expected to become the Browns' new No. 1 wide receiver after Cleveland traded Amari Cooper to Buffalo on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Through the Browns' first six games, the former Bronco recorded just four fewer catches (20) and two fewer receiving yards (248) than Cooper, but the trade clears the way for Jeudy to serve as the clear top option. Fellow wideouts Elijah Moore (ribs) and Cedric Tillman, as well as tight end David Njoku, could also see their usage pick up to varying degrees, though poor quarterback play from Deshaun Watson caps the upside of the entire Cleveland passing game.

Another one-touch game

Jeudy caught one of three targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles in Week 6.

Analysis: Jeudy was held to one catch for the second consecutive game and has just six targets over the last two weeks. It's become evident that Cleveland's offense is in disarray, and quarterback Deshaun Watson is a large part of the problem. For a silver lining, Nick Chubb (knee) is due back in Week 7, which could bring some harmony to the offense and have an impact on Jeudy and the rest of the receiving corps.

Held to one catch vs. Commanders

Jeudy caught one pass on three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Commanders.

Analysis: Jeudy saw seven targets in three of the first four games of the regular season, but he saw a season-low three targets during Sunday's blowout. Jeudy saw just one pass from Deshaun Watson in the second half as Cleveland's offense struggled to move the ball down the field, with its only touchdown coming during garbage time late in the fourth quarter. Jeudy and the Browns' offense will look to bounce back in Week 6 against a well-rested Eagles defense that will be coming out of its bye.

Good to go versus Washington

Jeudy (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was listed as a full participant in practice all week, so there was never any concern for his Week 5 availability. Much like most members of Cleveland's passing offense, Jeudy has been a disappointment through four games, averaging 4.5 catches for 49.3 yards per contest while scoring just one touchdown. However, this matchup with Washington's secondary is one of the best the Browns will see all season.

Shows up on injury report

Jeudy was on Thursday's injury report as a full participant with a knee injury.

Analysis: Jeudy was similarly listed on Wednesday's injury report. The knee, which is a vestige of a training-camp injury, is not expected to hold him back Sunday against Washington. Jeudy has appeared in all four games thus far and has 18 catches (on 30 targets) for 197 yards and a touchdown.

Leading receiver in loss to LV

Jeudy turned nine targets into six receptions for 72 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Las Vegas.

Analysis: Jeudy took a backseat to fellow starter Amari Cooper last week, but the former bounced back to lead the Browns in targets, receptions and yardage against the Raiders. Cleveland's passing game has been underwhelming in 2024 with Deshaun Watson under center, limiting Jeudy to 18 receptions (30 targets) for 197 yards and one touchdown through four games. Those numbers are good enough for those in deeper and PPR formats, but Jeudy lacks the upside to warrant "must-start" status in standard fantasy…read more

Overshadowed by Cooper in Week 3

Jeudy caught four of seven targets for 27 yards and scored a two-point conversion in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.

Analysis: Jeudy came into the game leading the Browns with 98 receiving yards, but he went quiet while Amari Cooper broke out for two touchdowns, though at least Jeudy caught a two-point conversion after the second of Cooper's scores. Jeudy had just six yards on two first-half targets but picked up the pace a bit with the Browns playing catch-up in the second half. Cooper got banged up on Cleveland's final drive, so Jeudy could be the team's top wide receiver in Week 4 against the Raiders should Cooper's…read more

Showing rapport with Watson

Jeudy recorded five receptions on six targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars.

Analysis: Jeudy remained a primary target in the Cleveland offense and led the team in receiving yards. He did the majority of his damage on a pair of catches that went for 30 and 21 yards, respectively. Even in a shaky passing offense, it's clear that the Browns have prioritized getting Jeudy involved, and he's surprisingly been more productive than Amari Cooper in the early going.

Scores in Browns debut

Jeudy recorded three receptions on eight targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Analysis: The Browns made it a point to get Jeudy involved in the offense in his Cleveland debut, as only Amari Cooper saw more targets. That didn't translate to much production, though Jeudy did manage a four-yard touchdown catch midway through the third quarter. Deshaun Watson's ineffectiveness in the face of pressure makes it difficult to trust Jeudy in a Week 2 clash with the Jaguars, even given the volume he saw.

Cleared to make Browns debut Week 1

Jeudy (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Jeudy dealt with a knee injury during training camp, and it was enough to get his name mentioned on the injury report, though he was a full participant in all three of Cleveland's practices and likely won't have any limitations come Sunday. The 2020 first-round draft pick of the Broncos will be making his Browns debut after an up-and-down four-year stint in Denver that included a 2022 season in which Jeudy produced 972 yards and six touchdowns.

Not suiting up Saturday

Jeudy isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game in Seattle, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: On Wednesday, coach Kevin Stefanksi said certain Browns starters had a chance to play this weekend, but the team ultimately will keep QB Deshaun Watson, WR Amari Cooper and TE David Njoku (undisclosed) on the sideline along with Jeudy. As a result, Jeudy's debut with Cleveland will have to wait until Week 1 on Sunday, Sept. 8 against the Cowboys after four campaigns in Denver in which he topped out with a 67-972-6 receiving line in 15 regular-season games back in 2022.

Could play Saturday

Jeudy participated in joint practices with the Vikings last week and may play in Saturday's preseason game versus the Seahawks, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski suggested that quarterback Deshaun Watson and other starters are scheduled to play in Saturday's preseason finale, after most of the team's key players were held out for the first two exhibitions. That includes Jeudy, who dealt with a knee injury earlier in training camp but has now been a full practice participant for about a week. The 25-year-old will be Cleveland's No. 2 wideout, slotting in between top option Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore on the depth chart.

Not in line to play

Jeudy and numerous others starters aren't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against Minnesota, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Analysis: A lower-body injury has limited Jeudy this summer, but reports suggest he's been much more active in recent practices. He wouldn't play in this game even if there were no injury concern, as the Browns are also holding out QBs Deshaun Watson, RB Jerome Ford, TE David Njoku and WRs Amari Cooper (undisclosed), Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman and David Bell (quad). The game will mostly be played by guys battling for back-end roster spots and backup roles.

Participates in 7-on-7 drills

Jeudy (leg) will take part in 7-on-7 drills at practice Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: He'll be involved in 7-on-7 work for just the second time during training camp, as he's otherwise bounced between limited participation and time on the sideline due to a lingering leg injury. Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram relays that Jeudy also handled 1-on-1 reps in full pads Wednesday, so he now looks to be at or close to 100 percent health. Jeudy could thus be in line to make his Browns debut during Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings, though Cleveland elected to…read more

Returns to practice Monday

Jeudy (leg) is participating in Monday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Analysis: Jeudy sat out this past Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers due to a leg injury, so it's encouraging to see him now back at practice. The veteran wideout has bounced on and off the practice field recently, sometimes as a full participant and sometimes while limited to individual drills, so it will be worth continuing to monitor his health. Jeudy's next chance to suit up for preseason action will come Saturday at home against the Vikings.

Not slated to face Packers

Jeudy (leg) is not in line to see action in Saturday's preseason opener against the Packers.

Analysis: Jeudy has been managing a leg issue, and with the Browns not slated to play several key skill players -- including fellow wide receivers Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore -- it's no surprise that Jeudy also won't be seeing snaps Saturday. Cedric Tillman, David Bell, Jamari Thrash, Jaelon Darden, Michael Woods, James Proche, Matt Landers and Ahmarean Brown are the team's available WRs versus Green Bay.

Not practicing Thursday

Jeudy (leg) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Jeudy returned to practice as a full participant Sunday, but he downgraded to individual drills Monday and is now watching practice from the sidelined while wearing a wrap on his left leg. The fifth-year pro is in prime position to work as the Browns' No. 2 receiver behind Amari Cooper, with Pro Bowl tight end David Njoku representing Deshaun Watson's other go-to option in the passing game, but Jeudy's health needs to be monitored as training camp progresses.

Individual drills only Monday

Jeudy, who participated in a full practice Sunday, was limited to individual drills Monday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Jeudy made a splash Sunday, catching a 40-yard sideline route from quarterback Deshaun Watson, but he appears to be on a practice pitch count. That's likely in deference to the minor knee issue that caused him to miss the beginning of camp. The Browns immediately extended Jeudy's contract after he was acquired in March, and the team is expected to use his top-end speed on both downfield passes and quick throws out of the slot. The belief is that Jeudy and Pro Bowl tight end David Njoku can line…read more

Returns to full practice

Jeudy (knee) practiced in full Sunday, per the Akron Beacon Journal.

Analysis: Jeudy has been hampered by a knee injury for most of training camp, but he was able to log a limited practice Friday before participating in full Sunday. The wideout -- who came to Cleveland in an early March trade -- should now be able to work on developing chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Jeudy is slated to function as the Browns' No. 2 receiver alongside Amari Cooper.

Limited at practice

Jeudy (knee) was limited at practice Friday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis: After missing some time, Jeudy is being eased back into the mix, but his presence on the field both Thursday and Friday bode well for his chances of participating fully in practice before long. As the coming season approaches, Jeudy -- who signed a three-year extension with the Browns after coming over in a trade with the Broncos -- is slated to be a prime target for QB Deshaun Watson alongside top WR Amari Cooper, with Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman also in line to garner their share of…read more

Doing individual drills

Jeudy (leg) is going through individual drills Thursday, with coach Kevin Stefanski saying the wideout is "close" to returning to practice, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy previously missed June minicamp and has yet to practice with his teammates at training camp, but it sounds like he'll get back on the field with plenty of time to spare before the start of the regular season. The Browns traded for him in March and gave him a three-year extension shortly thereafter, presumably making Jeudy their new No. 2 receiver after Elijah Moore struggled in the role last year.

Ramping up

Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Saturday that Jeudy (leg) is "ramping up" and "close" to joining teammates on the field for practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Analysis: Jeudy worked on the side with trainers for a third consecutive day Saturday. Stefanski added that the wide receiver is "getting better" without going into detail regarding the leg injury.

Dealing with leg issue

Jeudy worked on the side during Thursday's practice due to a leg issue, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: It's unclear if the leg is the same issue that forced Jeudy to miss time during June's minicamp. The injury does not appear to be a serious.

Not practicing

Coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday that Jeudy (undisclosed) isn't practicing but is in the building and "working through some things," Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy appears to be dealing with a minor injury, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, though details remain undisclosed. It doesn't sound like Jeudy is in any danger of being less than a full go for training camp in late July, but there's a possibility he won't get back on the field before then. After being traded to Cleveland in March, he quickly agreed to a three-year extension with the team. Jeudy is positioned to work as the No. 2 wideout behind Amari Cooper, who is holding out…read more

Lands three-year extension

The Browns and Jeudy agreed to a three-year extension Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Prior to free agency opening last week, Cleveland acquired Jeudy from Denver for a pair of Day 3 picks in the 2024 Draft. The two sides then restructured his contract for the upcoming season, creating about $10 million in cap space. With this new deal, which includes $41 million in guaranteed money and up to $58 million overall, Jeudy is locked in through the 2027 campaign. Through four years as a pro, he's averaged 14.5 YPC and 8.6 YPT, amounting to 211 catches, 3.053 yards and 11 touchdowns…read more

Agrees to restructure contract

Jeudy and the Browns have agreed to a contract restructure to create more than $10 million in 2024 cap space, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The agreement presumably adds void years, given that Jeudy is scheduled to play on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract and there's been no report of an extension since the Broncos traded him to the Browns. He'll likely be the No. 2 receiver in Cleveland, slotting in behind Amari Cooper and ahead of Elijah Moore. It's unclear how Jeudy's snaps will be divided between the perimeter and slot, as it could be argued that he and Moore both are at their best working inside.

Traded to Cleveland

The Browns acquired Jeudy from the Broncos on Saturday in exchange for 2024 fifth-round and sixth-round picks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The move clears close to $13 million in cap space for the Broncos, who have been in a complete roster teardown after a disappointing campaign under first-year head coach Sean Payton. The Browns have now acquired a wide receiver via trade in three straight offseasons, with Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore coming to Cleveland in 2022 and 2023, respectively. While Cooper has should remain the Browns' No. 1 wideout in 2024, Moore likely will drop to third on the depth chart with the acquisition of…read more

Touchdown in Week 18

Jeudy caught three of five targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: Jeudy slipped a few tackles en route to a 24-yard score during the second quarter. That marked just the second touchdown of the campaign for Jeudy, who also finished with 54 grabs on 86 targets for 758 yards in 16 games. After the Broncos exercised his fifth-year option for north of $12 million last offseason, Jeudy is set to be under contract with the team for the 2024 season, though it's uncertain as of now who Denver's starting quarterback will be.

Generates 54 yards in win

Jeudy (illness) had three receptions on six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: Jeudy overcame a bout with an illness during the practice week to suit up and serve as one of Jarrett Stidham's top targets Sunday. The Broncos were without fellow starter Courtland Sutton (concussion), but Jeudy's usage did not increase with the former's abcense. The 24-year-old wound up receiving the same number of targets that he had averaged over his previous three games (six) with Sutton active. That said, Jeudy can still provide some fantasy value as a high-floor asset against the Raiders…read more

Active versus Chargers

Jeudy (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Jeudy was listed as questionable for the contest after missing Friday's practice due to an illness, but he'll be available Sunday and should have an opportunity to be a key target for QB Jarrett Stidham in Week 17, with fellow WRs Courtland Sutton (concussion) and Marvin Mims (hamstring) inactive for the contest. In 14 games this season, Jeudy has logged a 48/625/1 receiving line on 75 targets, but the absence of Sutton and Mims could allow the 2020 first-rounder to see an uptick in production…read more

In line to suit up in Week 17

Jeudy (illness) is slated to play in Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: After missing Friday's practice due to an illness, Jeudy was listed as questionable for Week 17 action. With Courtland Sutton (concussion) ruled out Friday, and Schefter reporting that Marvin Mims (hamstring) isn't likely to suit up Sunday, an active Jeudy would represent the top pass-catching option for new starting quarterback Jarrett Stidham. Ultimately, Jeudy's status will be clarified when Denver releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Sunday

Jeudy is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers after missing Friday's practice due to an illness, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Meanwhile, Courtland Sutton (concussion) was ruled out for the contest, while Marvin Mims (hamstring) is listed as questionable after not practicing Friday. With that in mind, the Broncos could add WR reinforcements via the practice squad, but for now, the team's healthiest options at the position are Brandon Johnson and Lil'Jordan Humphrey. If Jeudy ends up being active for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he figures to be a key target for QB Jarrett Stidham in the absence of Sutton and possibly…read more

Ties four players with five targets

Jeudy had three receptions on five targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots.

Analysis: Jeudy failed to take advantage of the early departure of No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton (head), finishing in a five-way tie for the team lead in targets. The 2020 first-round selection has finished with three or fewer receptions for five consecutive weeks with zero touchdowns scored over that span. Jeudy's low usage makes him an unreliable fantasy option for Week 17, even if Sutton is forced to miss next Sunday's tilt against the Chargers.

Finally has productive game

Jeudy recorded three receptions on seven targets for 74 yards in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.

Analysis: Jeudy posted his highest yardage since Week 3 and reached 70 yards for only the second time this season. He did the majority of his damage on a pair of catches that went for 40 and 19 yards, the first of which came on a long catch and run on the first offensive play of the game for the Broncos. Jeudy saw seven targets to lead the team while also matching his season high. Nevertheless, this performance may be hard to replicate, as the Broncos would prefer to rely on their run game, and they'll…read more

Another subpar performance

Jeudy caught two of six targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: Jeudy thought he had a five-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but it was reversed upon review, as he failed to get his second foot down along the sideline despite seemingly having enough room to do so. He remains stuck on one touchdown in 2023, and Jeudy has posted 16 or fewer yards in two of his last three games. Jeudy will try to turn things around Saturday in Detroit, but it has been a disappointing season so far after he set career highs with 972 receiving yards and six touchdowns in…read more

Tallies 51 yards

Jeudy recorded three receptions on four targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Texans.

Analysis: Russell Wilson took to the air only 26 times, limiting opportunities for all of Denver's pass catchers. Jeudy finished second on the team in targets and yards, and the highlight of his day came on a 41-yard gain early in the fourth quarter that set up a touchdown on the next play. Jeudy has topped 65 yards just once this season, though he does have at least 50 in four of his last six games.

Cleared to play Week 13

Jeudy (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Texans, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy ramped up his practice activity as the week unfolded, and his full participation Friday helped the receiver avoid an injury designation altogether. After posting career highs with 972 receiving yards and six touchdowns last season, Jeudy has just 440 yards and one touchdown in 10 appearances, but he remains locked into a starting role across from Courtland Sutton.

Returns to limited practice

Jeudy (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Analysis: Though Jeudy didn't practice Wednesday, his absence was downplayed, and his return to the field a day later supports the notion that the wideout should be available Sunday against the Texans. That said, Jeudy probably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 13 injury designation.

Misses practice with groin issue

Jeudy didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Though Jeudy missed Wednesday's session, head coach Sean Payton downplayed the wideout's absence afterward, noting that he thinks Jeudy will be "fine" for Sunday's game against the Texans. Payton added that he expects Jeudy to practice Thursday, though it's unclear whether the receiver will be a full or limited participant for that session.

Minimal involvement in Week 12

Jeudy brought in two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.

Analysis: Jeudy's 11 yards accounted for his lowest total of the season. Additionally, the veteran wideout saw his second-lowest snap share of the campaign, as he was on the field for just 61 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps Sunday. With Marvin Mims' playing time increasing in recent weeks, it's possible that Jeudy could cede some opportunities to the rookie. Both Jeudy and Mims saw three targets against Cleveland. It also appears that teammate Courtland Sutton, who has out-targeted Jeudy 22 to 13…read more

Garners seven targets in win

Jeudy turned seven targets into five receptions for 58 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over Minnesota.

Analysis: Jeudy's seven targets tied backup running back Samaje Perine for the team lead Sunday, but it was fellow wideout Courtland Sutton who cashed in Denver's lone touchdown for the premier fantasy line. Jeudy did make the highlight reel on one of his five receptions when he appeared to fake a lateral to his right, before euro-stepping to his left while passing the puzzled defender for a decent gain. It is unclear whether the skilled route runner planned this move in advance, or if the unconventional…read more

Cleared to face Minnesota

Jeudy (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday night's game against the Vikings after practicing fully Friday.

Analysis: Jeudy was added to the Broncos' Week 11 injury report Thursday after being listed as a limited participant at practice with a hip injury, but the wideout was able to log all on-field work Friday, setting the stage for him to face Minnesota on Sunday. In eight games to date this season, Jeudy has compiled a 30-371-1 line on 43 targets, a rate of production that's down from his pace during the 2022 season, when he hauled in 67 of his 100 targets for 972 yards and six TDs in 15 contests.

Added to injury report

Jeudy was a limited practice participant Thursday due to a hip injury, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy practiced fully Wednesday, so his addition to the Broncos' injury report a day later is noteworthy. What the wideout is able to due Friday will thus be telling with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. If the injury affects Jeudy's availability for the Week 11 contest, rookie second-round pick Marvin Mims could see added opportunities alongside starting wideout Courtland Sutton.

Only 35 yards in victory

Jeudy recorded three receptions (on three targets) for 35 yards in Monday's 24-22 win over the Bills.

Analysis: Denver's offense was keyed by the rushing attack, limiting the volume of all pass catchers except Courtland Sutton. Jeudy put up an uninspiring stat line as a result, though he contributed significantly to the win by drawing a 28-yard pass interference penalty with 35 seconds remaining in the contest to set up the game-winning field goal. Overall, Jeudy was held under 50 receiving yards for the third time this season and for the second time in his last four games.

Finds end zone in Week 8

Jeudy had two receptions on six targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Chiefs.

Analysis: Jeudy finished as Denver's top receiver despite registering his lowest reception total of the season. The 24-year-old made the most of his limited opportunities, reaching 50 receiving yards for the fifth time in seven active games this season. A lack of touchdowns was holding back Jeudy's fantasy value, but he finally got off the schneid in the upset victory over Kansas City. Jeudy will look to build off of his promising fantasy day when Denver returns from its bye to face Buffalo on Monday…read more

Catches all of his targets

Jeudy caught all five of his targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Packers.

Analysis: Jeudy hauled in everything thrown his way, resulting in him finishing second to Courtland Sutton in all major receiving categories. Although his 64 yards marked his most since Week 2, Jeudy is still yet to find the end zone through six appearances, tempering his stock ahead of next Sunday's matchup versus the Chiefs.

Forgettable performance in loss

Jeudy brought in three of five targets for 14 yards in the Broncos' 19-8 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night.

Analysis: Jeudy looked nothing like a No. 1 receiver on a night where Russell Wilson threw for 95 yards, and the fourth-year receiver's yardage total was his lowest since Week 2 of the 2022 season. The 2020 first-round pick was coming off a season-high tally of six receptions in Week 5, so perhaps Thursday night's numbers will subsequently prove an outlier that was mostly the byproduct of facing a tough defense. Jeudy's next opportunity to put the washout of a night behind him comes in a Week 7 home…read more

Grabs season-high six catches

Jeudy had six receptions on seven targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jets.

Analysis: Jeudy's six receptions led all Broncos receivers while setting a new season high for the wideout. His seven targets also led the team, and only running back Samaje Perine finished with more receiving yards for Denver. Jeudy is now averaging 4.3 receptions and 52 yards through four games. The 2020 first-round pick is being held back by a lack of touchdowns, although he did see three red-zone targets in garbage time during a 70-20 loss to Miami in Week 3. Jeudy will attempt to score that elusive…read more

Practices fully Thursday

Jeudy (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis: Jeudy has opened both of the past two weeks with limited practices on account of the knee issue, but he appears to be in a better spot on the health front this week compared to last. In Week 4, Jeudy didn't put in a full practice until Friday, but he proceeded to head into the Broncos' eventual 31-28 win over the Bears without an injury designation en route to finishing with three catches for 52 yards on five targets. The modest stat line came against a Bears pass defense that ranks among the…read more

Logs limited practice

Jeudy (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Jeudy was limited at practices last Wednesday and Thursday before working fully Friday and heading into this past weekend's game against the Bears without an injury designation. After catching three of five targets for 52 yards and experiencing no reported setbacks with the knee in the Broncos' 31-28 win, Jeudy's listed limitations Wednesday may have just been maintenance-related.

Leads team with 52 receiving yards

Jeudy caught three of five targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Bears.

Analysis: Jeudy led the team in receiving yards while tying for the lead in both catches and targets, but he wasn't on the receiving end of any of Russell Wilson's three touchdown passes. After missing the season opener due to a hamstring injury, Jeudy has 11 catches for 158 yards on 17 targets in three subsequent games, but he has yet to score a touchdown after getting into the end zone six times last season. Ending the touchdown drought won't be easy in Week 5 against the Jets' stout secondary.

Good to go after full practice

Jeudy (knee) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll be good to go for the Week 4 matchup after taking every rep Friday. He battled a hamstring injury heading into the season and ramped up his production from 25 yards in Week 2 to 81 yards in Week 3 after sitting out the Week 1 loss to the Raiders. Sunday's trip to Chicago presents a breakout opportunity for Jeudy, as the Bears are allowing 35.3 points per game, the second-most in the NFL.

Limited again Thursday

Jeudy (knee) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy will presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears. Through two appearances this season, Jeudy has produced an 8-106-0 receiving line on 12 targets.

Limited at practice Wednesday

Jeudy was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a knee injury.

Analysis: Jeudy was on the field for 47 of a possible 62 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's 70-20 loss to the Dolphins, finishing with five receptions for 81 yards. The Broncos haven't revealed whether his limitations Wednesday stem from an injury he sustained Week 3, or if he suffered an in-practice setback. In any case, his status is now worth tracking as this weekend's game against the Bears approaches.

Five catches in Week 3 loss

Jeudy brought in five of seven targets for 81 yards in the Broncos' 70-20 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Analysis: Jeudy was quiet early but came on as the game unfolded and finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Courtland Sutton for the Broncos on the afternoon. Jeudy, a fourth-year speedster, exponentially improved on his Week 2 season debut performance, when he produced a 3-25 line on five targets. Jeudy's first opportunity to continue his upward trajectory comes in a favorable Week 4 road matchup against the Bears.

Quiet day as rookie shines

Jeudy (hamstring) had three receptions on five targets for 25 yards and no scores in Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders.

Analysis: Russell Wilson had a vintage game in which he aired it out for over 300 yards, but Jeudy mostly missed the party and was held to just 25 yards in his season debut. The positive news is that the 2020 first-round pick didn't suffer a setback to the hamstring injury that cost him the first game of the season. If Wilson is able to continue playing at the level he showed Sunday, that could lead to better stat lines from Jeudy now that he is healthy. His next opportunity to produce will come against…read more

No restrictions in Week 2

Jeudy (hamstring) was a full participant in practices Thursday and Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Analysis: Per Ryan McFadden of The Denver Post, head coach Sean Payton confirmed Jeudy will be ready to make his season debut Sunday after the fourth-year wideout was previously held out of the Broncos' 17-16 loss to the Raiders in Week 1. Payton added that Jeudy isn't expected to have any sort of limited snap count Sunday after the wideout checked out fine during his pair of full practices this week. With that in mind, expect Jeudy and Courtland Sutton to pace the Denver receiving corps in both snaps…read more

Returns to full practice

Jeudy (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was limited at practice Wednesday, but after reportedly being close to playing Week 1 and upgrading to full participation in Thursday's practice, the wideout is poised to make his regular-season debut Sunday against the Commanders. He's in line to start opposite Courtland Sutton in the Broncos' Russell Wilson-helmed offense, and in that context, Jeudy should see a steady share of targets on a weekly basis as long as he can stay healthy.

Reps capped Wednesday

Jeudy (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Jeudy was "close" to playing Week 1 before ultimately being inactive for the Broncos' loss to the Raiders. With that in mind, the wideout appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Not playing Week 1

Jeudy (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy took a questionable tag into the weekend after a trio of limited practices this week, and though Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post notes that the wideout was able to take part in some on-field work earlier Sunday, he'll ultimately be in street clothes for the season opener. Based on Jeudy's level of activity over the past week, he should have a good chance at making it back in the lineup for the Broncos' Week 2 matchup with the Commanders on Sept. 17. With Jeudy out for the opener,…read more

Not expected to play in opener

Jeudy (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, isn't expected to suit up Sunday versus the Raiders, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The Broncos appear to be taking a cautious approach to Jeudy's recovery from a right hamstring injury suffered Aug. 24. After suffering the injury, he was off the practice field until this week, when he managed to return in a limited capacity. If Jeudy is indeed officially listed among Denver's inactives ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Courtland Sutton will likely serve as Russell Wilson's top wide receiver, with rookie Marvin Mims operating as the No. 2 man. Brandon Johnson could step…read more

Status in question for Week 1

Jeudy (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy made an early departure from practice Aug. 24 due to a right hamstring injury that kept him off the field until Week 1 prep, when he was able to string together three consecutive limited practices. Coach Sean Payton has expressed optimism throughout the week, saying the wide receiver is "doing well" and "looked good" on separate occasions, per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. Ultimately, Jeudy's availability Sunday may be tied to how he fares in a pregame warmup, with a decision on his…read more

Limited in practice again

Jeudy (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis: Jeudy's right hamstring injury resulted in his reps being capped for the second straight day, but he still believes he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Raiders, per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post. At the same time, Jeudy acknowledged that his availability for Sunday will be contingent on him continuing to show improvement, so the Broncos may need to see the wideout put in a full practice Friday in order to feel comfortable making him active Week 1. If Jeudy ends up sitting out…read more

Limited at practice

Jeudy (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Renck suggested that Jeudy "appeared to be running at around 75 percent speed as he executed routes," but the wideout's ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday offers hope that he could be available for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders. In order to avoid a Week 1 injury designation, however, Jeudy would presumably need to log a full practice by Friday.

Gets side work in

Jeudy (hamstring) did conditioning work to the side at practice Monday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: Jeudy continues to make positive strides in his recovery from a right hamstring injury sustained Aug. 24. The Broncos have already said that Jeudy won't start the season on IR, but his availability for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Raiders is no sure thing. If Jeudy has to miss time, or is significantly limited while on the field, Marvin Mims and, to a lesser extent, Brandon Johnson will stand to see significantly expanded roles behind Courtland Sutton.

Not going on IR

Jeudy (hamstring) is not being placed on injured reserve to start the season, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Teams can soon place players on injured reserve and later be allowed to bring them back to the active roster after a minimum of four missed weeks. The Broncos aren't sure about Jeudy's Week 1 availability but at least have some hope he'll be ready early in the season after injuring his hamstring Aug. 24. They can always change course and put Jeudy on IR later on if he suffers a setback.

Could miss several weeks

Jeudy is expected to miss several weeks with what is described as a moderate hamstring injury that he suffered during Thursday's practice, Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network report.

Analysis: With that potential timeline in mind, Jeudy's status for Week 1 is in question. On the plus side, the report suggests that there's optimism that the wideout's issue won't be a long-term one that extends beyond the initial estimate. While Jeudy -- who is slated to undergo an MRI, per John Riker of the Broncos' official site -- is unavailable, Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims are in line to lead Denver's WR corps, with the likes of Brandon Johnson, Marquez Callaway and Kendall Hinton in the mix…read more

Getting MRI on hammy

Jeudy is scheduled for an MRI on his hamstring after leaving Thursday's practice early, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy limped off the field with assistance Thursday morning and was then carted back to the locker room while holding the back of his right leg. James Palmer of NFL Network notes that Jeudy was visibly upset and had trouble getting on/off the medical cart. He'll miss Denver's preseason finale Saturday against the Rams and is now in doubt for the start of the regular season. Jeudy missing games likely would lead to more targets for Courtland Sutton, additional playing time for Marvin Mims and…read more

Exits Thursday's practice

Jeudy was carted off the field Thursday after suffering an apparent hamstring injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post, Jeudy was holding the back of his right leg as he was being carted off. While the severity of the wideout's issue remains to be seen, Jeudy at a minimum is iffy for Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams. If he's forced to miss time, Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims would profile as the Broncos' top available wideouts, with Brandon Johnson, Marquez Callaway and Kendall Hinton, among others, in the depth mix.

Scores TD in first action of '23

Jeudy caught two of three targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason opener against Arizona.

Analysis: Jeudy and the entire Broncos offense stumbled out of the gates Friday, failing to score on any of its first three drives. The group was determined to get something going offensively under new head coach Sean Payton, so Russell Wilson went back out for a fourth drive that ended with Jeudy running a crisp slant for an easy 21-yard score before halftime. Fantasy managers are hoping to see more of that from QB/WR duo this season now that a decorated coach like Payton joined the team this past…read more

Fifth-year option exercised

The Broncos picked up Jeudy's fifth-year option for the 2024 season Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Denver now has Jeudy under contract for two more seasons, setting him up to carry a $12.98 million salary for the 2024 campaign. The 24-year-old fell short of his first 1,000-yard season by just 28 yards last year, but a strong finish nonetheless allowed him to rack up a 67-972-6 receiving line through 15 appearances. The Broncos added rookie wideout Marvin Mims in the second round of April's draft, and Tim Patrick (knee) could play a significant role once fully recovered from his ACL tear, but…read more

Explosive performance in finale

Jeudy secured five of six targets for 154 yards in the Broncos' 31-28 win over the Chargers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 39 yards and recovered a fumble.

Analysis: Jeudy led the Broncos in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second to Courtland Sutton in targets. While the third-year speedster wasn't on the receiving end of any of Russell Wilson's three touchdown tosses, Jeudy recorded a game-long 57-yard reception that put Denver in business at the Chargers' three-yard line late in the second quarter, leading to an Eric Tomlinson three-yard scoring grab. Jeudy fell just 28 yards short of his first 1,000-yard season, but his 67 receptions,…read more

Cleared for Week 18 action

Jeudy (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy gained clearance for the season finale after he put in a full practice Friday following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Though the Denver passing offense has mostly been an unproductive one in 2022, Jeudy has posted his best numbers in the season's final stanza. Over his last four appearances, Jeudy has been targeted no fewer than eight times on any occasion while stringing together a 28-304-3 receiving line.

Reps capped in practice again

Jeudy (ankle) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy's reps are being capped for the second straight day, but the Broncos haven't yet suggested that the third-year wideout is dealing with any sort of setback with the ankle issue that resulted in him being listed questionable ahead of last week's game against the Chiefs. He was ultimately cleared to play in the Broncos' eventual 27-24 loss, playing 89 percent of the offensive snaps en route to recording seven catches for 38 yards on eight targets. Assuming he gets the green light for…read more

Logs limited practice

Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Analysis: Jeudy was limited at practice last week and was deemed questionable for the Broncos' Week 17 contest against the Chiefs, but he ended up suiting up and recording an 89 percent snap share in the 27-24 loss. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, the wideout was likely limited for precautionary reasons and should be on track to play in this Sunday's season finale versus the Chargers.

Quiet in loss

Jeudy caught seven of eight targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: Jeudy's underwhelming performance came on a day when he led the team in targets while the Broncos traded blows with the Chiefs. The veteran's 38 yards were his lowest in his past five games, as he has been one of the lone bright spots for Denver's offense in recent weeks. The growing chemistry between Jeudy and Russell Wilson may not have rendered much in the way of fantasy production Sunday, but the 23-year-old wideout will look to finish the year on a strong note when the Broncos host the…read more

Active against Chiefs

Jeudy (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Jeudy will play through the ankle injury again, facing a Chiefs defense he scored three touchdowns against three weeks ago. He's caught 13 passes for 193 yards in two games since, emerging as one of the few bright spots for Denver in the second half of the season.

Questionable for Week 17

Jeudy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after logging limited practices this week.

Analysis: Jeudy's status thus is worth confirming, but fortunately for those inclined to use him in Week 17 fantasy lineups, the Broncos kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. For his part, interim head coach Jerry Rosburg noted Friday that he fully expects Jeudy to play. If so, the 2020 first-rounder would be a key passing target for QB Russell Wilson versus Kansas City alongside fellow wideout Courtland Sutton.

Still limited in practice

Jeudy (ankle) will remain a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Each of Denver's top three receivers will have their reps capped for the second day in a row, with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) joining Jeudy as limited participants. Considering both Jeudy and Sutton played north of 75 percent of the snaps on offense in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams and neither is believed to be dealing with any reported setbacks with their respective injuries, the two are likely having their practice participation managed for…read more

Limited by ankle issue

Jeudy was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was sidelined for Weeks 11 and 12 due to an ankle injury and had his practice reps managed to some extent in Weeks 13 and 14, but he hasn't been included on Denver injury reports either of the past two weeks. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Jeudy headed to the locker room with a trainer during Wednesday's practice, but he was able to finish the session. His ability to get back on the field suggests he's not dealing with too serious of a setback, if any, but his activity will still need to…read more

New season high in receiving yards

Jeudy had six receptions (10 targets) for 117 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.

Analysis: Jeudy was the lone bright spot in yet another forgettable performance from the Broncos offense. The 23-year-old put his route-running skills on full display when he ran a crisp sluggo that beat two Los Angeles defenders for a 36-yard gain. Jeudy set a new high-water mark in receiving yards with this standout effort, bringing his season total up to 780 yards through 13 starts. The Broncos will face the Chiefs on Jan. 1, and Jeudy will match up with a defense that he torched for three touchdowns…read more

Records seven receptions

Jeudy recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 24-15 win over Arizona.

Analysis: As expected, Jeudy led Denver's receiving corps in targets, receptions and yards with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) still sidelined. Jeudy's performance was highlighted by gains of 19 and 14 yards, though he otherwise worked primarily in the short areas of the field. While he wasn't able to repeat his three-touchdown performance from Week 14, Jeudy has 17 targets and 149 yards combined across his last two games.

Poised to be No. 1 WR on Sunday

Jeudy is set to be the Broncos' featured wide receiver Sunday against the Cardinals with both Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: While Jeudy should have his fill of targets, they won't be coming from Russell Wilson, as the quarterback remains in the concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Week 15 action. Instead, Jeudy will be operating with Brett Rypien, who has managed just 5.6 yards per attempt on 96 passes across six career appearances. Still, Jeudy currently is on a nice two-game run, which has amounted to 12 catches (on 13 targets) for 138 yards and three touchdowns, with all three scores coming last Sunday…read more

Three TDs in losing effort

Jeudy caught eight of nine targets for 73 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 34-28 loss to Kansas City.

Analysis: With Courtland Sutton (hamstring) sidelined, Jeudy was the top option in the Denver passing game and proved to be more than up to the challenge, hauling in two TD tosses from Russell Wilson (concussion) late in the second quarter as the Broncos began an ultimately futile attempt to come back from a 27-0 deficit. Jeudy then caught his team's final score of the day on a seven-yard pass from Brett Rypien after Wilson was forced out of the game. The huge performance doubled Jeudy's touchdown total…read more

Cleared to play while Sutton sits

Jeudy (ankle) practiced fully Friday and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Jeudy has healed up just in time to take on the leading role in a Broncos receiving corps that will be without Courtland Sutton (hamstring). However, since Jeudy was limited to playing just 37 percent of the Broncos' snaps in last week's loss to the Ravens after missing the previous two contests with an ankle injury, it's possible that the 23-year-old has some kind of snap-count restriction this Sunday, albeit a looser one, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com. Slot man Kendall Hinton should…read more

Another limited practice

Jeudy (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy returned from a two-game absence in this past Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Ravens, catching all four of his targets for 65 yards while playing 19 snaps. Since then, he's logged two straight limited practices, but unless Jeudy works fully Friday, he'll likely head into this weekend's game against Kansas City with an injury designation. According to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Thursday that he expects Jeudy to be available against the Chiefs, though Hackett…read more

Limited in practice

Jeudy (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Analysis: Jeudy came back from a two-game absence to catch each of his four targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss at Baltimore. The yardage total was his third-best mark of the season, even though he played only 20 snaps (38 percent). He should play significantly more this week against the Chiefs, likely serving as Denver's clear No. 1 receiver with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) now expected to miss at least one game.

Four grabs in return

Jeudy secured all four targets for 65 yards in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Analysis: Jeudy put in a solid effort in his return from a two-game absence, checking in second in receptions and receiving yards to tight end Greg Dulcich. Courtland Sutton's early exit due to a hamstring injury didn't hurt Jeudy's chances of drawing some of Russell Wilson's attention, but the entire Broncos offense continues to be stuck in neutral for the most part. Jeudy could be due for an elevated role in Week 14 if Sutton is unable to suit up for the home showdown against the Chiefs.

Making return from two-game absence

Jeudy (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy will return to action after missing the Broncos' last two contests due to an ankle injury. He was listed as a non-participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday in a limited fashion, so there's some reason to suspect that he could be more limited than usual as he rejoins the lineup. In any case, Jeudy is expected to start out wide opposite Courtland Sutton, while Kendall Hinton likely steps in as the Broncos' primary slot man with KJ Hamler…read more

Poised for return

Jeudy (ankle), who is officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, barring a setback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Jeudy has missed each of Denver's last two games with the injury, but he returned to practice in limited fashion Friday. He was previously reported to be a game-time decision, and his status will not become official until shortly before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if he is active, Jeudy could face a limited snap count.

To be 'game-time decision' Sunday

Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Jeudy (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest at Baltimore, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

Analysis: As of Thursday, Jeudy had yet to practice since hurting his left ankle back in Week 10, which has sidelined him the past two weeks. Still, the Broncos are listing the third-year pro as questionable to play Week 13, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com. The top of Denver's receiving corps is in flux at the moment, with Courtland Sutton dealing with a stomach bug and KJ Hamler suffering a setback with his hamstring issue this week. The release of the team's inactives about 90 minutes before Sunday's…read more

Misses another practice

Jeudy (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Nor did KJ Hamler, who is in line to miss time after suffering a setback with his hamstring injury. Jeudy has one more chance to practice before Sunday's game against the Ravens, but if he ends up missing a third straight contest, Courtland Sutton and Kendall Hinton would be in line to lead the Broncos' Week 13 wideout corps.

Won't return to practice Wednesday

Jeudy (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Both Jeudy and KJ Hamler (hamstring) missed the past two games and are in danger of missing Sunday's contest in Baltimore after starting Week 13 prep as non-participants. With Jeudy and Hamler out, Kendall Hinton has worked as Denver's No. 2 receiver, while practice-squad call-up Brandon Johnson has taken most of the No. 3 snaps.

Remains sidelined Week 12

Jeudy (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Panthers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy will miss a second consecutive game after hurting his ankle early in the Broncos' Week 10 loss to the Titans. With fellow wide receiver KJ Hamler (hamstring) also ruled out for Week 12, Kendall Hinton will continue to see added opportunities opposite No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton.

DNP on practice estimate

Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Analysis: Back-to-back listed DNPs make what Jeudy is able to do at Friday's practice pivotal with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Panthers. The same applies to KJ Hamler (hamstring), and if one or both of the wideouts is sidelined versus Carolina, Kendall Hinton would continue to see added snaps alongside Courtland Sutton, with Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and possibly practice squad member Brandon Johnson also in the mix Week 12.

Sidelined Wednesday

Jeudy (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: According to DiLalla, head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Jeudy is day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers after the left ankle injury prevented the wideout from playing in last week's loss to the Raiders. If one or both of Jeudy and KJ Hamler (hamstring) remain sidelined this weekend, Kendall Hinton would once again be in line to see added snaps alongside Courtland Sutton.

Remains day-to-day

Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Tuesday that Jeudy (ankle) remains day-to-day, but the Broncos anticipate the wideout will be back this week, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was sidelined for last week's loss to Las Vegas due to an ankle injury he picked up on the Broncos' first offensive play of Week 10. He was unable to practice at all during Week 11 prep, so a limited session Wednesday would be a step in the right direction, though his availability for Sunday's matchup against Carolina may not be known until later in the week.

Won't play Sunday

Jeudy (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Per coach Nathaniel Hackett, the hope is that Jeudy, who remains day-to-day, can play Week 12 against the Panthers. With Jeudy and KJ Hamler (hamstring) out Sunday, Courtland Sutton will lead the Broncos' wideout corps versus Las Vegas, with Kendall Hinton (shoulder, questionable) -- if active -- Jalen Virgil and Montrell Washington also available to mix in. Moreover, the team could add further WR depth ahead of the contest via the practice squad.

Yet to practice this week

Jeudy (ankle) wasn't spotted during the media availability at Friday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy hasn't practiced at all this week after hurting his ankle early in Week 10 against the Titans. Denver's final Week 11 injury report will provide a specific injury designation, but Jeudy's lack of activity this week suggests that he's unlikely to suit up against the Raiders on Sunday.

Skipping another practice

Head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Jeudy (ankle) won't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: The third-year wideout will miss his second straight practice on account of the left ankle injury and is considered day-to-day as Sunday's game against the Raiders draws closer. Jeudy will likely need to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday to have a realistic shot at suiting up this weekend.

Not practicing

Jeudy (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy could miss a game or two even after an MRI on Monday revealed no major injury to his left ankle. He wasn't able to return to this past Sunday's loss to the Titans after exiting early, and he'll now miss at least one practice leading up to this Sunday's game against the Raiders. Fellow wide receivers Kendall Hinton (shoulder) and KJ Hamler (shoulder) also will be held out Wednesday, with the latter expected to miss multiple games.

Injury viewed as mild

An MRI on Jeudy's ankle revealed a mild injury Monday, and he isn't expected to miss extended time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Jeudy's status for Sunday's game against the Raiders has yet to be determined, so his practice participation will be worth monitoring throughout the week. Given initial fears of a major injury after the wide receiver exited in the first quarter of Denver's Week 10 loss to the Titans, this is just about the best-case scenario for Jeudy.

Getting MRI on Monday

Jeudy (ankle) is receiving an MRI to determine the severity of his injury Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Titans due to an ankle injury, one which prevented him from putting any pressure on his left leg. Initial assessments lead the Broncos to believe that Jeudy suffered a muscle strain, but the team won't be able to provide an official update until after receiving the results of Monday's MRI. With KJ Hamler (hamstring) having been sidelined Week 10, Kendall Hinton could have to step up as the No. 2 man behind Courtland Sutton if Jeudy is forced to miss…read more

Won't return Sunday

Jeudy (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Titans.

Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jeudy was evaluated for an injury to the back of his ankle, with the issue bothersome enough for the wideout to sit out the remainder of Sunday's contest before having recorded a catch. With Jeudy sidelined, look for Kendall Hinton to see added pass-catching opportunities alongside Courtland Sutton.

Hurts ankle Sunday

Jeudy suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Analysis: Quarterback Russell Wilson targeted Jeudy on a deep shot down the left sideline on the Broncos' first play from scrimmage. While the pass fell incomplete, Jeudy clutched at his left ankle and was tended to on the field before he was assisted to the sideline tent by team trainers. If Jeudy is unable to return, Courtland Sutton, Kendall Hinton, Montrell Washington, Tyrie Cleveland and Jalen Virgil will be Denver's available wide receivers with KJ Hamler (hamstring) inactive.

Tallies third touchdown

Jeudy recorded six receptions on seven targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Jaguars.

Analysis: Even with Russell Wilson back under center, Jeudy out-performed Courtland Sutton by a significant margin. Jeudy was used primarily in the short areas of the field, though he did manage a reception of 25 yards and a six-yard touchdown -- his third of the season. He has now topped 50 receiving yards in five consecutive games and has emerged as a reliable producer.

Racks up 96 yards

Jeudy recorded seven receptions on 11 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 16-9 loss to the Jets.

Analysis: While much of the Broncos' offense struggled with Brett Rypien under center, Jeudy turned in his best performance since Week 1. He accounted for each of the team's three longest offensive gains, including a 17-yard catch late in the first quarter that set up Denver's lone touchdown of the game. While the play of his quarterback is likely to remain inconsistent, Jeudy has managed to tally at least 50 receiving yards in all but one of his seven games this season.

Racks up 54 yards

Jeudy recorded three receptions on seven targets for 54 yards in Monday's 19-16 loss to the Chargers.

Analysis: The Broncos' offense failed to get going once again, so Jeudy led the team in targets, yards and receptions despite his modest numbers. He did the majority of his damage on a 37-yard reception on Denver's second possession to help set up its lone touchdown of the game. The state of the team's offense will lead to inconsistent results for Jeudy, though he has topped 50 receiving yards with at least one catch of 20 yards in each of his last three games.

Three catches in OT loss

Jeudy brought in three of eight targets for 53 yards during the Broncos' 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts on Thursday night.

Analysis: Jeudy was tied for second on the night in receptions and was the runner-up to Courtland Sutton in receiving yards and targets, but the opportunities didn't translate into much production. Jeudy now has back-to-back 53-yard efforts, and he has just a 10-134-1 line on 22 targets since a stellar four-catch, 102-yard, one-touchdown tally in the opener. Jeudy will aim to continue building more rapport with Russell Wilson during the extra time available ahead of a Week 6 Monday night road showdown…read more

Hauls in second TD of season

Jeudy caught four of five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: After two quiet games while he dealt with a rib injury, Jeudy appeared to be fully healthy when he hauled in a 20-yard TD late in the second quarter, his second score of the season. The third-year wideout has yet to see more than seven targets in a game so far this year, but with Javonte Williams (knee) potentially set to miss time, Jeudy could see a much bigger role in Week 5 against the Colts.

Not in sync with QB

Jeudy (shoulder/ribs) was limited to two receptions on six targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 11-10 win over the 49ers.

Analysis: Jeudy was held out of practice until Friday's limited participation after he was knocked out of last week's tilt with multiple injuries, so it was a good sign that he was able to suit up at all. The minor rib and shoulder injuries didn't visibly seem to limit the wideout, as he appeared crisp on the routes he did run while successfully absorbing two tackles to the midsection on his two receptions. The issue was actually Russell Wilson's uncharacteristic inaccuracy, as he missed an open Jeudy on…read more

Suiting up in Week 3

Jeudy (rib/shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the 49ers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy, who was forced out of the Broncos' Week 2 contest after logging just 10 snaps, missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able return to a limited session Friday. He'll give it a go Sunday, as will KJ Hamler (knee/hip), ensuring that Denver will have its top three wideouts available versus San Francisco. In Week 1, when he was on the field for 59 of a possible 66 snaps on offense in a 17-16 loss to the Seahawks, Jeudy caught four of his seven targets for 102 yards and a…read more

On track to play Sunday

Jeudy (ribs) is listed as questionable, but he's on track to play Sunday night against the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was forced out of action in Week 2 due to the rib injury, and he remained sidelined for practice Wednesday and Thursday. He returned in a limited fashion Friday and is trending in the right direction for Week 3. However, the Broncos want to see how the wideout handles pre-game warmups before making a final decision on his status. This isn't good news for fantasy mangers, who'll have few options to turn to if Jeudy is surprisingly ruled out ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable for Week 3

Jeudy (ribs/shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the 49ers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: The wideout missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to get back on the field for a limited session Friday. Per Troy Renck of Denver 7 News, Jeudy, for his part, expects to play Sunday based on how he feels Friday while acknowledging that the decision is in the hands of Denver's coaches. Either way, his status is worth tracking ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, with added context regarding his chances of suiting up versus San Francisco potentially becoming available prior…read more

Back on the practice field

Jeudy (ribs/shoulder) was spotted at practice Friday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: It remains to be seen how the Broncos list Jeudy's participation level, but his presence on the field Friday offers hope that the wideout -- who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday -- may be able to play Sunday night. Look for Denver's final Week 3 injury report to clarify whether Jeudy heads into the weekend with a designation or cleared to suit up versus the 49ers.

Won't practice Thursday

Jeudy (ribs/shoulder) won't practice Thursday, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

Analysis: Back-to-back practice absences cloud Jeudy's status for Sunday night's game against the 49ers, though his prospects of playing in the contest no doubt would be boosted by any level of practice participation Friday. Meanwhile, fellow wideout KJ Hamler (knee/hip) seems to be trending toward a return to action this weekend, per Stoia.

Not practicing Wednesday

Jeudy (ribs) won't practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, the Broncos have received positive news regarding Jeudy's rib issue, but head coach Nathaniel Hackett isn't sure if the wideout will practice this week. With that in mind, Jeudy's status for this Sunday's game against the 49ers is unclear. On the plus side for the Broncos, fellow wideout KJ Hamler (knee/hip) -- who was inactive Week 2 against the Texans -- will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday.

Considered day-to-day

Jeudy (ribs) is considered day-to-day after X-rays returned negative, and he hasn't been ruled out from playing Sunday versus the 49ers, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was forced out of action due to a rib injury in the first quarter of the Broncos' 16-9 win over the Texans in Week 2, but his status for Week 3 hasn't yet been determined. If Jeudy can avoid any setbacks and showcase his health in practice, it sounds like he could retake the field versus San Francisco on Sunday night.

Injures ribs in Week 2

Jeudy didn't return after leaving Sunday's game against the Texans, and coach Nathaniel Hackett said the receiver suffered a rib injury, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: Jeudy's injury was originally believed to be to his shoulder, but it has now been clarified as a rib injury. More importantly, the injury sidelined him for most of Week 2, and Jeudy's status for Denver's Week 3 matchup with the 49ers could be in question.

Exits Sunday's game

Jeudy was forced out of Sunday's game against the Texans with a shoulder injury.

Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Jeudy caught one of his three targets for 11 yards and ran once for one yard. In his absence, Montrell Washington, Tyrie Cleveland and Kendall Hinton are next up for WR snaps behind top option Courtland Sutton.

Long TD ends lengthy drought

Jeudy caught four of seven targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-16 loss to Seattle.

Analysis: After failing to score a touchdown all of last season, Jeudy quickly benefited from the offseason addition of star quarterback Russell Wilson, snapping a scoring drought that extended back to the final game of the 2020 campaign with a 67-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Denver had no trouble moving the ball but failed to execute in the red zone, where Jeudy's impact has been minimal since the Broncos selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft -- he has only 11 red-zone targets…read more

Not likely to play Saturday

Jeudy isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason contest versus the Vikings, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy will be joined in street clothes by Courtland Sutton, while KJ Hamler (knee) is expected to see his first game action since Week 3 of last season. With Tim Patrick (knee) ruled out of the 2022 campaign, Jeudy could have higher usage in the Broncos offense working with new quarterback Russell Wilson, starting Week 1 at Seattle.

May benefit from Patrick's absence

Jeudy may have a clearer path to additional targets after fellow wideout Tim Patrick (knee) suffered a season-ending injury Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was already poised to handle a regular role in three-receiver sets, but his target volume could become even greater than anticipated now that Patrick is out of the mix for 2022 after tearing his ACL. The 23-year-old Jeudy finished the 2021 season with 38 catches for 467 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games, a disappointing level of production that was influenced in part by poor quarterback play. Teammate Courtland Sutton will also look to make strides this season, while KJ Hamler profiles…read more

Ready for training camp

Jeudy, who missed a portion of Denver's OTAs with a strained groin, indicated that he's healthy in advance of training camp, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy missed seven games last season -- six due to an ankle injury and one while on the COVID-19 list -- so now that he's past his latest injury issue, the 2020 first-rounder's ability to stay on the field going forward will play a big part in determining whether he can put up steady production in his third campaign as a pro. For his part, Jeudy (who logged a 38-467-0 stat line in 10 games in 2021) believes that the Broncos' addition of franchise QB Russell Wilson -- one of the better…read more

Not practicing Monday

Jeudy (groin) is rehabbing on a side field during Monday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: The Broncos continue to hold Jeudy out after the wideout left a practice last week. Denver head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Jeudy tweaked his groin and his removal was merely precautionary, and that still appears to be the case. Jeudy has plenty of time to get healthy before the start of training camp in late July, but he may be missing valuable reps with new quarterback Russell Wilson.

Leaves practice early

Jeudy (groin) exited Monday's practice early, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: DiLalla adds that coach Nathaniel Hackett noted that the wideout experienced a little tweak and that the team elected to pull Jeudy from practice as a precaution. The 2020 first-rounder will continue to be evaluated, but the hope is that he'll be able to participate in next week's mandatory minicamp.

Back at practice

Jeudy (back) participated in OTAs on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy missed a practice last week due to a tight back, but he was able to participate in the Broncos' light practice Tuesday. Earlier Tuesday, the Arapahoe County District Attorney's office filed a motion to dismiss second-degree criminal tampering charges with a domestic violence enhancer against Jeudy, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and James Palmer. Pelissero noted that it's still possible Jeudy could face discipline from the NFL.

Charges to be dismissed

The Arapahoe County District Attorney's office has filed a motion to dismiss all charges against Jeudy (back), Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was facing two misdemeanor charges for non-physical contact domestic violence. He could still face NFL discipline, though the chances are lower with charges being dismissed.

Dealing with tight back

Jeudy didn't participate in the Broncos' first OTA on Monday due to back tightness, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: Per George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette, Jeudy's lack of activity was known at the start of practice, but the reason for it was not. Klis described the injury as "mild," so the Broncos appear to be taking a cautious approach with one of their top wide receivers. Jeudy remains in some legal limbo due to a recent incident with the mother of his child, for which he was arrested on suspicion of criminal tampering with a domestic violence enhancer. His next court appearance is scheduled for May…read more

Appears in court

Jeudy, who appeared in Arapahoe County (Colorado) court Friday morning, was released on a $1,500 personal recognizance bond, Jeff Legwold of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Per NFL.com, Jeudy was arrested Thursday on second-degree criminal tampering charges with a domestic violence enhancer, but he did not submit a plea and is next scheduled to appear in court May 31. In a statement Thursday, the Broncos noted they "are aware of the matter involving Jerry Jeudy and are in the process of gathering more information."

Hearing scheduled for Friday

Jeudy is scheduled for a hearing at 8:30 a.m. MT on Friday following his arrest Thursday in Arapahoe County (Colorado) on suspicion of criminal tampering with a domestic violence enhancer, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

Analysis: According to Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown, "there was no physical contact" between Jeudy and the woman in question, and he has yet to be formally charged in the ongoing investigation, per Kieran Nicholson and Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post. Prior to Brown's statement, the Broncos posted one of their own, stating the team is "aware of the matter involving Jerry Jeudy and are in the process of gathering more information," according to Mike Klis of 9News Denver. Friday's appearance…read more

Arrested Thursday afternoon

Following his arrest Thursday afternoon, Jeudy is being held at the Arapahoe County (Colorado) jail on charges of second-degree criminal tampering with a domestic violence enhancer, a misdemeanor, ESPN's Jeff Legwold reports.

Analysis: Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, the Broncos noted in a statement that they "are aware of the matter involving Jerry Jeudy and are in the process of gathering more information." The 23-year-old wideout had been a regular attendee in the team's offseason program prior to Thursday.

High hopes for rebound in 2022

Jeudy admits Russell Wilson will help him to improve in 2022, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: After a largely disappointing 2021 season, Jeudy has an opportunity to rebound in a big way next season with the addition of Wilson at quarterback. The deal sending the veteran signal-caller from Seattle to Denver is already paying dividends, as Jeudy has noticed Wilson's impact as a leader. "[He's] getting me better as well. He's going to help me a lot this year," the wideout said of Wilson. Additionally, head coach Nathaniel Hackett wants to use the vertical passing game more next season,…read more

Quiet to close out season

Jeudy secured two of five targets for 30 yards in the Broncos' 28-24 loss to the Chiefs on Saturday.

Analysis: Jeudy's non-eventful return from a one-game stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list was certainly a downer for fantasy managers rolling with him in Week 18 league championship games. The quiet finish was in some ways a fitting end to a disappointing sophomore NFL campaign for the 2020 first-round pick, one in which he missed seven games overall and surprisingly never found the end zone. The talented 22-year-old did demonstrate some solid rapport with Teddy Bridgewater at times in their first season…read more

Off COVID list

Denver activated Jeudy (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: The Broncos also brought back Tim Patrick (illness) from the same list, setting the stage for both players to return from one-game absences for Saturday's game against the Chiefs. With Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) on injured reserve, the starting receiver trio of Jeudy, Patrick and Courtland Sutton will be taking targets this weekend from Drew Lock (shoulder), who draws a third straight start.

Goes on COVID list, out Week 17

Denver placed Jeudy (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official web site reports. He won't be available for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Analysis: Jeudy joins Tim Patrick among Denver receivers on the COVID-19 list, with neither on track to be cleared in advance of Sunday's contest. For now, Courtland Sutton has avoided being placed on the list, despite sitting out Friday's practice with an illness while taking a questionable tag into the weekend. If available Sunday, Sutton would headline a receiving corps that would also include Kendall Hinton and Diontae Spencer in addition to COVID-19 roster call-ups Seth Williams and Travis Fulgham.

Likely headed to COVID-19 list

The Broncos are expected to place Jeudy on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, leaving his availability for Sunday's game against the Chargers in doubt, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: Denver cancelled practice Thursday due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the organization, and Jeudy and linebacker Bradley Chubb appear to be the latest members of the roster who likely contracted the virus. Assuming Denver confirms Jeudy's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list later Friday, he'll be a long shot to clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocols before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, even if vaccinated. Tim Patrick (illness) is also on the same list and unlikely to play Sunday,…read more

Leading receiver Sunday

Jeudy caught three of four targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: With Drew Lock under center, the Broncos' passing game found very little success, and Jeudy was the only Denver player to top 33 receiving yards. It was a solid rebound for the second-year wideout after he failed to catch a pass last week against the Bengals, and he'll have two more shots to score his first touchdown of the season beginning with a Week 17 tilt against the Chargers.

Held catchless in loss

Jeudy failed to record a single catch in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Bengals.

Analysis: Jeudy saw four targets in the contest, but he couldn't get anything going on a day when the Denver offense struggled. The 22-year-old played on just 69 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps, behind fellow wideouts Tim Patrick and Courtland Sutton. This has been a disappointing season for Jeudy, and he has yet to find the end zone in the eight games he's played in up to this point. Trusting Jeudy, or any Denver pass catcher, will be difficult down the stretch. In Week 16, the Broncos visit the…read more

Five catches against Lions

Jeudy caught five of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

Analysis: He led all Denver wideouts in catches, targets and yards, but tight ends Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam posted similar numbers to Jeudy as the team had little reason to stretch the field in the rout. The second-year receiver is still looking for his first TD of the year, but he has hauled in multiple passes in six straight games since returning from an ankle injury, giving him a reasonably secure fantasy floor heading into a Week 15 tilt against the Bengals.

Leads team in receiving

Jeudy had four receptions on six targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: Jeudy was the lone Denver wideout to generate any sort of separation against the Chiefs' secondary, finishing with the team lead in receiving production. The 2020 first-round pick has slowly become Teddy Bridgewater's favorite target since being activated from injured reserve back in Week 8. Jeudy is averaging four receptions and 45 yards in the four games since returning, giving him a decent base as a deep-league option heading into a matchup against the Lions next Sunday.

Only two grabs Sunday

Jeudy caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: None of the Broncos' big three wideouts reached 30 receiving yards in the game, as Denver's defense and running backs carried the day. It was Jeudy's poorest performance in four games since returning to the lineup, and he'll look to bounce back in Week 13 against Kansas City.

Leads Denver in catches Sunday

Jeudy caught six of nine targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Eagles. He also gained three yards on his only carry.

Analysis: The second-year wideout led the Broncos in receptions and targets, but Jeudy's longest grab went for only 14 yards, and both Albert Okwuegbunam and Noah Fant produced more yardage than any Denver WR on the day. Jeudy has quickly regained a prime spot in the team's passing game since returning from his ankle injury, catching 12 of 17 targets for 117 yards over the last two games heading into a Week 11 bye.

Sees eight targets

Jeudy recorded six receptions on eight targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Cowboys.

Analysis: Jeudy saw an increased workload in his second game back from a serious ankle injury, a positive sign particularly given that the Broncos were ahead for the entirety of the contest. He recorded long receptions of 25, 20 and 16 yards, with the rest of his receptions racking up minimal yardage. Jeudy should be fully ramped up heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Eagles.

Leads team in catches in return

Jeudy caught all four of his targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over Washington.

Analysis: Per George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette, the receiver's ankle was sore late in the game as he saw his first action since Week 1, but Jeudy still led the Broncos in catches. Teddy Bridgewater and the passing game weren't able to take advantage of a plus matchup against Washington, but Jeudy could see bigger volume in Week 9 against the Cowboys.

Activated off IR

Jeudy (ankle) has been activated off the Broncos' injured reserve and is on track to play in Sunday's matchup with Washington, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Jeudy had been trending in this direction, but his absence from Friday's practice caused some concern. The team was apparently just erring on the side of caution with the 22-year-old pass catcher, who experienced some minor soreness in his right ankle. He will look to help get Denver's offense going, as the unit has struggled to move the ball consistently for much of the season. All reports from practice earlier in the week indicated he looked fully recovered from the high-ankle sprain that…read more

Managing soreness, could still play

Jeudy (ankle) didn't practice Friday due to some soreness, and coach Vic Fangio said "we'll see" whether the wideout is activated for Sunday's game against Washington, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Fangio also expressed optimism Jeudy can still play Sunday, though it's a discouraging development in his second week of practice after being designated to return from injured reserve last week. The 22-year-old likely will need to show some improvement Saturday in order to be activated ahead of the roster deadline for Sunday's contest.

Not spotted at Friday's practice

Jeudy (ankle) wasn't seen at the portion of Friday's practice that's open to the media, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy said at Thursday's press conference that he's "back in action" and "ready to go" after being designated to return from injured reserve last week, but he's apparently not practicing Friday after looking good earlier in the week. The 22-year-old was expected to be activated from injured reserve and play Sunday versus Washington, but his outlook for this weekend now looks a bit murky.

Ready for Sunday

Jeudy (ankle) appears on track to play Sunday, as the receiver declared, "I'm back in action. I'm ready to go," in Thursday's press conference, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy's progress in practice will continue to be monitored before he is removed from injured reserve, but all signs point to the second-year wideout making his return to the field in Week 8 against Washington. According to Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Jeudy could help get the offense going, as Denver has struggled to move the ball through the air consistently for much of the season. Klis asserts that throwing the ball to Jeudy early in the downs may be the answer to avoid being in so many…read more

Looking good in practice

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Jeudy (ankle) had a "good practice" Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Fangio previously revealed that Jeudy received medical clearance last week but didn't have time to practice before Thursday's loss to the Browns. He's now expected to return 10 days later for Sunday's Week 8 matchup with Washington, after missing six straight games with a high-ankle sprain. The Broncos will continue to monitor his progress in practice before they make a final call on removing Jeudy from injured reserve before Sunday's game.

Should be back Week 8

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Friday that he expects Jeudy (ankle) to return from injured reserve in advance of the team's Week 8 game against Washington on Oct. 31, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was cleared to practice last weekend, and he apparently hasn't experienced any setbacks with his right ankle in the days that have followed. In fact, the wideout received medical clearance for Thursday's eventual 17-14 loss to the Browns, but Fangio said Jeudy was held out of the contest since the Broncos only held walk-through sessions rather than full practices Monday through Wednesday. With the benefit of a normal slate of practices during the upcoming week, Jeudy should be back to…read more

Could return Week 8

Jeudy (ankle) is closing in on a return and could be available in the Broncos' next game Oct. 31 against Washington in Week 8, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Head coach Vic Fango previously said Monday that Jeudy had an outside shot to return for Thursday's game against the Browns. Jeudy ultimately wasn't brought back from injured reserve Thursday while the Broncos lost a fourth straight game, but the wideout could be back next week. His return to the lineup will drop Tim Patrick to the No. 3 receiver role, though it could be Jeudy who gets most of the slot work in three-wide sets.

Still on IR

Jeudy (ankle) remains on IR ahead of Thursday night's game against the Browns, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Analysis: With Jeudy not activated in advance of the contest, the Broncos elevated fellow wideout John Brown from the team's practice squad to provide depth behind Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick. Thus, Jeudy presumably will set his sights on a potential return to action Sunday, Oct. 31 versus Washington.

Iffy for Week 7

Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Jeudy (ankle) has less than a 50 percent chance to suit up for Thursday's game against the Browns, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

Analysis: Fangio did say, however, that Jeudy will resume running routes at full speed this week, so it seems that the second-year pro continues to progress in the right direction. Jeudy has yet to be activated back to the active roster, and his status will need to be monitored as Thursday's road contest approaches. Tim Patrick once again will operate as the No. 2 option in Denver's wide receiver corps if Jeudy can't go.

Cleared to practice

The Broncos designated Jeudy (ankle) to return from injured reserve Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: It's important to note this designation does not mean Jeudy will be able to play Sunday against the Raiders. It sounds like Jeudy also won't quite be healthy in time for the upcoming Week 7 matchup against the Browns, which takes place Thursday, but he's certainly on pace to suit up for the Oct. 31 battle against Washington if he misses the aforementioned prime-time affair. That timeline seems to track with the comments coach Vic Fangio made earlier this month suggesting Jeudy would be closer…read more

Progressing, but return date TBD

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Jeudy is making progress in his recovery from a right high-ankle sprain, but a firm target date for his return hasn't been established. "In the last 10 days to two weeks, he's made good progress," Fangio said. "His return is not right around the corner, but it's getting closer."

Analysis: Fangio previously said Oct. 6 that Jeudy was eyeing a return at the front end of a 6-8 week timeline for the injury he suffered in the Broncos' Sept. 12 season-opening win over the Giants. The coach's comments Monday don't seem to suggest that Jeudy's potential timeline has changed for the worse or the better, so fantasy managers should expect the wideout to remain on injured reserve for at least one more week. In Week 7, the Broncos will travel to Cleveland for a Thursday night game, so it…read more

Aiming for mid-to-late October

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio confirmed Wednesday that Jeudy (ankle) is hoping to return at the front end of a 6-to-8-week recovery timeline, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy reportedly is making good progress, but the initial 4-to-6-week recovery timeline he received when he initially suffered the high-ankle sprain in mid-September may have been too aggressive all along. James Palmer of NFL Network mentions Week 7 against the Browns as Jeudy's possible return date, though it might make sense for the Broncos to wait until Week 8, as that would give the wideout another 10 days to prepare, given that Denver and Cleveland play on Thursday night Week 7. Either…read more

Could be back Week 7

Jeudy is making good progress in his recovery from a right high-ankle sprain, with the Broncos now hoping he can return for Week 7 against the Browns, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Palmer mentions Jeudy returning at the front end of a 6-to-8-week timeline, though multiple reports back in mid-September had the wideout estimated for only 4-to-6 weeks. Either way, Jeudy will sit out Week 5 against Pittsburgh -- and perhaps also Week 6 against Las Vegas -- but the Broncos apparently think he has a shot to make it back for a Thursday game against Cleveland in Week 7 on Oct. 21. Whenever he returns, Jeudy should see a mix of perimeter and slot snaps, with KJ Hamler's…read more

Placed on IR

Jeudy (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Analysis: According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Broncos are expecting Jeudy to miss 4-to-6 weeks after he suffered a right high-ankle sprain in Sunday's victory over the Giants. That timeline makes it unlikely that he'll be ready to go when first eligible to come off IR on Oct. 10 in Pittsburgh, but a return in Week 6 versus the Raiders could be in play for the second-year wideout. In the meantime, the Broncos are expected to turn to KJ Hamler to fill out three-receiver sets alongside Courtland Sutton…read more

Multi-week absence expected

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Jeudy will "miss some time" after an MRI confirmed the wideout is dealing with a right high-ankle sprain, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. A source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN that Jeudy could be facing a 4-to-6 week absence.

Analysis: Fangio didn't rule out the possibility of placing Jeudy on short-term injured reserve, which would entail a minimum absence of three weeks. Either way, Jeudy is looking at a multi-week recovery, and he safely can be ruled out for at least the Broncos' Week 2 game in Jacksonville. Before departing with the injury in Sunday's season-opening win over the Giants, Jeudy hauled in six of seven targets for 72 yards.

Undergoes MRI

Jeudy (ankle) underwent an MRI on Monday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain after he left Sunday's game against the Giants, and he underwent X-rays that came back negative. While the results of the receiver's MRI aren't yet known, the team is evaluating several options that likely will force him to miss some time. If Jeudy is sidelined, Tim Patrick, KJ Hamler and Diontae Spencer should see increased roles in Denver's offense.

Has high-ankle sprain

Jeudy has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain following his departure from Sunday's game against the Giants in New York, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: As a result, a multi-game absence likely is in the cards for Jeudy, who had six catches (on seven targets) for 72 yards at the time of the injury. While he's sidelined, the likes of Tim Patrick, KJ Hamler and Diontae Spencer figure to benefit alongside starting wideout Courtland Sutton.

Ruled out Sunday

Jeudy (lower leg) won't return to Sunday's road game against the Giants, Patrick Smyth of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy sustained a gruesome injury to his lower leg at the end of a catch in the third quarter and required a cart to get off the field, so it's no surprise he won't reenter the contest. The nature of the issue isn't known, but the Broncos could shed some clarity upon the conclusion of Sunday's game.

Carted off Sunday

Jeudy was carted off the field during Sunday's game against the Giants with an apparent lower leg injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: At first glance this looks like an injury that could cost Jeudy some time. If that's the case, added snaps/targets in the coming weeks would be freed up for fellow WRs Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler.

Solid showing in preseason win

Jeudy hauled in both of his targets for 40 yards in the Broncos' 30-3 preseason win over the Seahawks on Saturday night.

Analysis: The 2020 first-round pick followed up his 33-yard reception from the exhibition opener against the Vikings with Saturday's solid showing in first-half action. The bulk of Jeudy's production came at a critical time, as he hauled in a 35-yard reception on fourth down across the middle from Teddy Bridgewater on a drive that would ultimately culminate in KJ Hamler's two-yard touchdown grab. Jeudy averaged an impressive 16.5 yards per catch on his 52 receptions in his rookie season, and the couple…read more

Three targets in preseason opener

Jeudy recorded one reception on three targets for 33 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings.

Analysis: Jeudy's first major contribution to the game was getting flagged for holding, which nullified a Javonte Williams touchdown. While he missed out on his first two targets, Jeudy recorded his lone reception over the middle of the field and quickly turned the ball up field for a big gain. Jeudy figures to lose some of his 113 targets from 2020 due to the return of Courtland Sutton (knee), though that could be balanced out by an increase in efficiency as Jeudy enters his second season as a pro.

Dominates in joint practice

Jeudy was often "unguardable" in Wednesday's joint practice with the Vikings, according to Mike Klis of 9News Denver.

Analysis: Jeudy is having an impressive training camp as he continuously flashes his superior route-running skills and speed. Wednesday was no different as the Broncos and Vikings held a joint practice ahead of their exhibition contest Saturday. The second-year wideout repeatedly torched the defense, even hauling in what was roughly a 60-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater while being guarded by Vikings starting cornerback Baushaud Breeland. Jeudy will look to take a big step forward…read more

High hopes in Year 2

Jeudy is a candidate for a breakout season in Denver, according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic.

Analysis: Jeudy enters his second year with the Broncos with high expectations based on his rookie campaign. Despite dealing with a nagging ankle injury at times last season and playing with three different starting quarterbacks, Jeudy amassed 856 receiving yards in 2020. Looking ahead, the return of fellow wideout Courtland Sutton from an ACL injury should open up even more opportunities for Jeudy in the middle of the field, where his impressive skills as a route runner can shine. Though the Broncos…read more

Sparkles in return to practice

Jeudy (illness) stood out at practice Wednesday in his return from a one-day absence, Taylor Brooks of Fox 31 Denver reports.

Analysis: Jeudy sat out practice Tuesday due to a stomach bug, but he displayed no ill effects when he returned to the field Wednesday. While Denver has yet to name a starting quarterback heading into Week 1, Jeudy and Courtland Sutton (knee) should give either Drew Lock or Teddy Bridgewater a dangerous wideout duo to work with.

Leaves practice with stomach bug

Jeudy departed Tuesday's practice early due to a stomach issue, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic

Analysis: Jeudy's issue doesn't seem like a long-term concern, but it could prevent him from taking the field for some valuable minicamp time. Even if he does miss a couple days, Jeudy should be ready for the start of training camp as he gears up for his sophomore NFL campaign. He finished his rookie campaign with 52 catches for 856 yards and three touchdowns over 16 games, and a relatively normal offseason in 2021 should improve his odds of taking a step forward in his second season.

Leads team in receiving

Jeudy hauled in 52 of 113 targets for 856 yards and three touchdowns while playing in all 16 games during the 2020 season.

Analysis: The first-round rookie arrived in Denver as a skilled route runner who was expected to make a splash in the NFL right away, and while his production was solid enough, the 21-year-old didn't quite dominate on the level some might have anticipated. Spotty quarterback play and Jeudy's own issues with drops -- his 8.8 percent drop rate was the 12th-highest in the NFL -- contributed to the wideout logging a league-low 52 receptions among all players who were targeted 100-plus times. Expect a rebound…read more

Breaks out in season finale

Jeudy caught five of seven targets for 140 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 32-31 loss to the Raiders. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Analysis: The rookie finally flashed the talent that made him the 15th overall pick in the 2020 draft, and his sensational 92-yard catch-and-run for a TD in the fourth quarter looked like it might prove to be the winning score before the Raiders struck back in the final minute. Jeudy finished an up-and-down season with a 52-856-3 line on 113 targets, but he didn't miss a game and could be poised to take a big step forward in Year 2, particularly if the Broncos find an upgrade over Drew Lock under center.

Can't capitalize on big volume

Jeudy caught six of 15 targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Chargers.

Analysis: The rookie receiver struggled with drops all afternoon, including one in the end zone in the third quarter that proved to be crucial in a game decided by a field goal. The 15 targets were a season high for Jeudy, but it wasn't enough to snap him out of his prolonged slump -- over his last seven games, he has only a 17-232-0 line despite a whopping 45 targets. Jeudy will try to close out his first NFL campaign on a high note in Week 17 against the Raiders.

Late-season slump persists

Jeudy secured one of five targets for 19 yards during Saturday's 48-19 loss to Buffalo.

Analysis: Despite being drafted as the second receiver in the 2020 NFL draft class at the No. 15 overall, Jeudy's 40 receptions ranked just ninth among rookies entering Week 15. Drew Lock and the receiving corps weren't able to get on the same page against the Bills, as Denver wideouts remained without a catch until the 0:29 mark of the second quarter. The Alabama product has been particularly cold down the stretch, with a total of four receptions for 66 yards over his past four games combined. A Week 16…read more

Puts forth full practice

Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a full participant during Wednesday's walk-through practice, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy has been managing an ankle issue of late and was listed as limited on Tuesday's report, but he's now slated to play Saturday against the Bills. He'll be looking to build off a two-catch, 42-yard effort (on four targets) in Denver's Week 14 win over the Panthers. Prior to that, Jeudy had been limited to just one catch combined in Weeks 12 and 13.

Still managing ankle injury

Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's injury report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy has been battling an ankle issue for most of the past month, with his production suffering as a result. In four games with the injury in tow, he's managed just six catches (on 17 targets) for 84 yards and no scores. Due to the inefficient use of his looks, it's difficult to trust Jeudy at the moment, especially with a tough matchup Saturday versus the Bills.

Quiet despite big outing from Lock

Jeudy caught two of four targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 32-27 win against the Panthers.

Analysis: The first-round rookie contributed a 31-yard gain late in the second quarter Sunday, but otherwise, it was a fourth consecutive quiet outing from Jeudy. The Alabama product has gone scoreless in five consecutive appearances while also failing to exceed 45 yards over any of his past four games. Jeudy hasn't been commanding the requisite volume of a receiver drafted in the top 15, posting eight targets Weeks 13 and 14 combined with Drew Lock in the lineup. That doesn't include a no-catch,…read more

Good to go Sunday

Jeudy (ankle) will play in Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: This ankle injury held him back over the last two weeks, as he caught just one pass for five yards in that stretch. Following back-to-back full practices to close out the week, Jeudy has officially been cleared for Week 14 and will look to put those woes behind him. Through 12 games, the rookie first-rounder leads the Broncos with 82 targets and sits second to Tim Patrick with 594 receiving yards.

Set to practice fully

Coach Vic Fangio relayed that Jeudy (ankle) is slated to practice fully Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy has approached Denver's last two games listed as questionable, but his full participation Thursday indicates that the rookie wideout is distancing himself from the ankle issue that may have contributed to the consecutive fantasy duds he posted in Weeks 12 and 13. The No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 draft thus will look to engineer a bounce-back effort Sunday against the Panthers.

Limited practice Wednesday

Jeudy (ankle) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy is coming off back-to-back quiet efforts, including a one-catch, five-yard performance in Sunday's loss to Kansas City. In that context, rolling with Jeudy in Week 14 fantasy lineups carries some risk, though coach Vic Fangio believes the wideout is "in a good spot" health-wise as this weekend's game against the Panthers approaches, according to Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site.

Limited in losing effort

Jeudy (ankle) had just one reception (four targets) for five yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to Kansas City.

Analysis: Jeudy turned in his worst performance of the season with an actual professional quarterback under center, so it wouldn't be surprising to find out that he was limited by the ankle that had been bothering him leading up to Sunday's contest. Tim Patrick shined in the national spotlight (four catches, 44 yards and two touchdowns), but Jeudy has been the more effective receiver over the course of the year with 101.0 air yards per game and 4.3 yards after the catch. If the rookie can get fully…read more

Available Sunday

Jeudy (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: As is running back Phillip Lindsay (knee). It remains to be seen if Jeudy ends up limited at all Sunday, but assuming no in-game setbacks, the wideout's Week 13 fantasy outlook is bolstered by the fact that top signal-caller Drew Lock is back in action. Last weekend, the team's passing game was thwarted by a series of events that led to practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton being pressed into action as the team's QB in a 31-3 loss to the Saints. In the process, Jeudy was targeted just…read more

Expected to play Sunday

Jeudy (ankle) is expected to play Sunday night against Kansas City, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: The same applies to running back Phillip Lindsay (knee). While the duo's Week 13 status won't be confirmed until the Broncos' inactives are posted prior to Sunday night's 8:20 ET kickoff, it's worth noting that both players were listed as full participants in Friday's practice. Assuming Jeudy does suit up, it remains to be seen if he'll be at full strength, with Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site relaying that coach Vic Fangio noted Friday that if Jeudy and Lindsay are able to play…read more

Questionable for Week 13

Jeudy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: After logging time in every practice this week, Jeudy is trending in the right direction toward an appearance this weekend. Earlier Friday, coach Vic Fangio told Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com that he expects Jeudy to suit up Sunday, and he "won't be limited much" if he does, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com. Jeudy has earned at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps and as much as 89 percent in each of the first 11 games of his career, but his output has been a bit sporadic.

On field again Friday

Jeudy (ankle) took part in Friday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: This marks Jeudy's third consecutive session after being listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday. It'll be interesting to see if he elevates to a full practice to cap Week 13 prep, but no matter what he's able to do the Broncos will clarify later Friday whether he's questionable or doesn't have a designation at all for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

Logs another limited practice

Jeudy (ankle) will remain limited at practice Thursday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Back-to-back limited sessions set the stage for Friday's injury report to clarify whether the wideout approaches Sunday night's game against the Chiefs listed as questionable or free from a Week 13 injury designation altogether. Eleven games into his rookie campaign, Jeudy's 37 catches (on 78 targets) have yielded a team-high 589 receiving yards and two TDs.

Limited Wednesday

Jeudy (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was also limited last Friday, but he was able to suit up in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He didn't record a catch in the game, but that was mostly a byproduct of the Broncos running an extreme run-heavy offense while practice squad wideout Kendall Hinton was pressed into starting duties at quarterback. With Drew Lock in line to return under center Week 13 versus the Chiefs, Jeudy's fantasy prospects are looking up, assuming his ankle issue doesn't prevent him from playing in the…read more

No catches with dire QB situation

Jeudy did not haul in his only target during Sunday's 31-3 loss to New Orleans.

Analysis: Denver was in a desperate situation at the quarterback spot, with Jeff Driskel testing positive for COVID-19 during the practice week, plus Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles all being deemed inactive as high-risk close contacts. As a result, Jeudy struggled during Week 12, granted he had virtually zero time to establish a rapport with his signal-caller Kendall Hinton. Jeudy also had a restricted practice workload during the week because of Achilles and ankle issues. If Lock is activated…read more

Suits up Sunday

Jeudy (ankle/Achilles) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Analysis: Jeudy, who logged a limited practice Friday after missing Thursday's session, will give it a go Sunday, but complicating his Week 12 fantasy outlook is that all four of Denver's top signal-caller options (starter Drew Lock, top backup Brett Rypien, third-stringer Jeff Driskel and practice squad member Blake Bortles) are unavailable Sunday due to COVID protocols. In that context, practice-squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton -- who hasn't played QB since his redshirt junior season at Wake Forest…read more

Should play Sunday

Jeudy (ankle/Achilles), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Jeudy wasn't able to practice fully at any point from Wednesday through Friday, but the Broncos evidently don't expect either of his listed injuries to hamper him too much. Instead, Jeudy's greater concern is the quarterback situation, as all four of the top signal-callers in the organization (starter Drew Lock, top backup Brett Rypien, third-stringer Jeff Driskel and practice squad member Blake Bortles) are all unavailable Sunday after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list in the aftermath of…read more

Questionable for Week 12

Jeudy (ankle/Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy didn't practice Thursday, but he was limited Wednesday and listed that way on Friday's practice estimate. Still, it wasn't enough to avoid a designation entirely as he tends to ankle and Achilles woes. With a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, it's a somewhat risky proposition to assume Jeudy will suit up, but confirmation will arrive approximately 90 minutes prior.

Misses practice Thursday

Jeudy (ankle/Achilles) didn't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Previous reports suggested that Jeudy is tending to a foot issue, but regardless of what's keeping him off the field Thursday, what the wideout is able to do at practice Friday will be pivotal with regard to his status for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Iffy for Thursday's practice

Jeudy may not practice Thursday due to a foot issue that's bothering him, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: The report notes that Jeudy, who logged a limited practice Wednesday due to a listed combo of ankle and Achilles injuries, will try to give it a go Thursday, but if he does sit the session out, what he does at practice Friday will gain added import in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Listed as limited Wednesday

Jeudy (ankle/Achilles) was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Jeudy was limited at practice last Wednesday and Thursday with the ankle injury, but the Achilles issue is a new concern and something that should be monitored as Sunday's game against the Saints approaches. The rookie wideout handled a lighter load than normal in last week's win over Miami, playing 41 of the Broncos' 65 offensive snaps and finishing with three receptions for 37 yards on eight targets.

Inefficient in win over Miami

Jeudy caught three of eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Dolphins.

Analysis: While the rookie tied Tim Patrick for the team lead in targets, Jeudy wasn't able to do much with his volume. He's still seen at least eight targets in four straight games and six of 10 to begin his NFL career, but he'll likely need to do more with his chances in Week 12 if the Broncos have hopes of upsetting the Saints.

Sheds injury tag

Jeudy (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy began the week with back-to-back limited practices, but he was a full participant Friday. The rookie first-round pick is set to draw his usual start against the Dolphins on Sunday, though he'll face the task of overcoming a secondary that didn't allow a single Chargers wideout to surpass 40 yards last weekend.

Another limited practice

Jeudy (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy was limited in practice last week due to a shoulder injury, but he still managed to suit up in Las Vegas while leading the Broncos in receiving for a second straight contest. Though the rookie first-round pick's ankle issue is a new development, he should be in good shape to suit up versus the Dolphins in Week 11 as long as he continues to practice in at least some capacity.

Limited by ankle injury

Jeudy was limited in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy shook off a shoulder injury to lead the Broncos in receiving yards for a second consecutive game in the Week 10 loss to the Raiders, but he's now tending to a new issue ahead of a Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins. So long as the rookie continues to practice at least on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, he should still be in good shape to play this weekend.

Team's leading receiver once again

Jeudy caught four of his eight targets for 68 receiving yards during Sunday's 37-12 loss to the Raiders.

Analysis: Jeudy was able to shake off a shoulder injury sustained during Week 9 and resume his midseason emergence. The Alabama product has exceeded 65 receiving yards in three consecutive outings after never once reaching that mark over his first six career appearances. The No. 15 pick from April's draft has attracted a robust workload of 10.7 targets per game over his past three outings, as he now heads into a Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins. During a Sunday afternoon win against the Chargers,…read more

Suits up Sunday

Jeudy (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Analysis: Jeudy, who suffered a shoulder injury during Week 9 action, was held out of practice Wednesday but returned to log limited sessions both Thursday and Friday. The No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft has seen double-digit targets in each of his last two contests and should remain busy Sunday barring any in-game setbacks after hauling in seven of his 14 targets for 125 yards and a TD in last weekend's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

On track to suit up Sunday

Jeudy (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Jeudy didn't practice Wednesday due to the shoulder issue before logging limited sessions both Thursday and Friday. Afterward, coach Vic Fangio noted that he was "pretty confident" that Jeudy would be able to play Sunday. Confirmation of the wideout's Week 10 status will arrive when the Broncos' inactives are released approximately 90 minutes in advance of the game's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable

Jeudy (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy, who suffered a shoulder injury during Week 9 action, didn't practice Wednesday before logging limited sessions both Thursday and Friday. With that in mind, coach Vic Fangio noted Friday that he is "pretty confident" Jeudy will be able to play when Sunday's game kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET. The No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft hauled in seven of his 14 targets for 125 yards and a TD in last Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

Upgrades to limited practice

Jeudy (shoulder) is practicing in a limited capacity Thursday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy sat out Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury, but coach Vic Fangio said that how well the former Alabama standout holds up during Thursday's limited session will determine whether he can upgrade to full reps Friday. The rookie wideout is coming off the best game of his professional career, having just torched the Falcons for 125 yards and a score on seven catches. Denver's offense will see a notable boost if he's able to suit up against the Raiders on Sunday.

Misses practice Wednesday

Jeudy didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: Jeudy's absence from practice comes after he played 61 of the Broncos' 73 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, finishing with seven receptions on 14 targets for 125 yards and a touchdown. With that in mind, Jeudy's absence from practice to begin Week 10 may have maintenance-related, but the Broncos' practice reports Thursday and Friday will ultimately provide more insight into his health. Assuming he's cleared to play Sunday against the Raiders, Jeudy would once again be in store…read more

Huge day against Falcons

Jeudy caught seven of his 14 targets for 125 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons. He also fumbled once but the ball rolled out of bounds.

Analysis: Jeudy was somewhat inefficient in corralling just 50 percent of the passes thrown his way during Week 9, though he was explosive enough with those opportunities to make up for it, most notably logging a 20-yard TD catch off the arm of Drew Lock. The Alabama product also picked up a 41-yard gain as his longest of the afternoon, along with two more catches of 18-plus yards against the Falcons' 31st-ranked pass defense. Jeudy may be beginning to blossom into the star receiver Denver drafted him to…read more

Picks up 73 yards

Jeudy caught four of 10 targets for 73 yards during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers.

Analysis: The Broncos were in a bad position early in the fourth quarter, down two scores and facing third-and-16. Jeudy came free on a deep crosser, picking up a 43-yard catch-and-run, and Denver scored on the next play. Jeudy has been hot and cold as a rookie but stepped up Sunday with Tim Patrick (hamstring) out of the lineup, setting season highs in targets and yards. He'll have a chance to build on that in Atlanta in Week 8 against one of the league's weaker pass defenses.

Nabs just two passes

Jeudy caught two of four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 43-16 loss to the Chiefs.

Analysis: Jeudy enjoyed an impressive start to his rookie season, posting at least 55 yards in each of the first four games. However, the first-round pick has just two receptions in each of the last two games, totaling 52 yards between the two contests against New England and Kansas City. Those defenses aren't easy for any pass catcher, but the Broncos' offense needs Jeudy to start making plays if it wants to turn this season around.

Two catches in win

Jeudy caught two of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 18-12 win over the Patriots.

Analysis: Jeudy couldn't get much going, as the Broncos didn't find the end zone all game and Drew Lock (shoulder) completed only 10 passes in his return. Tim Patrick topped 100 yards in this one and has established himself as the team's No. 1 wide receiver. Jeudy's role should increase as the rookie first-rounder acclimates to the NFL, but Lock hasn't proven capable of sustaining multiple fantasy-relevant receivers, and Patrick's the clear top dog in Denver's passing game at this point.

Broncos-Patriots moved to Week 6

Jeudy and the Broncos won't play the Patriots on Monday after the game was postponed until Week 6 due to a third positive COVID-19 test in the New England organization within the past eight days, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: The Broncos and Patriots are now tentatively scheduled to play Sunday, Oct. 18 in Week 6, which was originally a scheduled bye week for New England. Denver, meanwhile, had been in line to host the Dolphins, but Miami now looks poised to take its bye Week 6.

Makes good use of opportunities

Jeudy secured two of four targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 37-28 win over the Jets on Thursday.

Analysis: The rookie looked like he might be on his way to a big night early, as he recorded a 48-yard touchdown grab, the first of his NFL career, early in the second quarter. While Jeudy went on to finish with a modest line overall, the first-round pick demonstrated his elite physical skills by scaling over cornerback Pierre Desir to simultaneously prevent an interception, make a difficult catch, and walk into the end zone. Jeudy has arguably been held down some by shaky quarterback play thus far this…read more

Paces team in receiving

Jeudy caught five of his nine targets for 55 receiving yards during Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

Analysis: The No. 15 overall pick battled through a ribs issue this week, upgrading his practice participation from limited to full between Thursday and Friday and earning his second consecutive start in the process. Jeudy has been a go-to man for young quarterbacks Drew Lock (shoulder) and Jeff Driskel in the early going, as he's already amassed 24 targets across the first three weeks of 2020. Though he's yet to cash in with a touchdown in the NFL, Jeudy has been a high-floor option with four or more…read more

Active as expected

Jeudy (ribs) is active for Sunday's Week 3 tilt against the Buccaneers.

Analysis: As expected, the rookie will be in uniform and ready to fill the de facto No. 1 receiver role for Denver with Courtland Sutton (knee) now on injured reserve. Jeudy has been impressive over his first two career games, bringing in eight of 15 targets for 108 yards. However, he'll be catching passes from backup QB Jeff Driskel on Sunday, with Drew Lock (shoulder) missing the first of what should be several games.

Expected to play in Week 3

Jeudy (ribs) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Jeudy bruised his ribs during Week 2 action and was listed as questionable heading into the weekend. His Week 3 status will be confirmed upon the release on Denver's inactives in advance of Sunday's 4:25 ET kickoff. If the No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft is indeed available, he'll have an opportunity to carve out a key role in the Broncos' passing game going forward, with the team's top wideout, Courtland Sutton, on IR and out for the season with a knee injury.

Looking like a game-time call

Jeudy (ribs) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Jeudy's upgrade to full practice participation Friday was a positive sign, but the Broncos nonetheless listed him as questionable and apparently want to see how he feels Sunday before making a final decision. A 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff is less than optimal for fantasy managers, with the Denver inactive list scheduled to come out about 90 minutes prior. Jeudy should see a good number of targets if he plays, as the Broncos just lost Courtland Sutton to an ACL tear. Jeudy, KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick…read more

Listed as questionable

Jeudy (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Analysis: On the plus side, Jeudy -- who was limited Wednesday and Thursday -- was listed as a full practice participant Friday. In that context, we'd be surprised to see him sit out Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming the rookie wideout is available, he'll have an opportunity to cement a key role in Denver's passing game going forward, with the team's top wideout, Courtland Sutton, out for the season with a torn ACL.

Dealing with rib issue

Jeudy will be limited at practice Wednesday due to a rib injury, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Analysis: That said, Jeudy noted that his ribs are "feeling better day-by-day," while adding that the contact that led to the injury wasn't the result of a big collision, but rather a case of him getting hit "in the right spot." At this point, there's no reason to think that Jeudy's Week 3 status is in doubt, and assuming he plays Sunday against the Buccaneers, an expanded opportunity awaits him with top wideout Courtland Sutton (knee) out for the season with a torn ACL.

Set for limited practice

Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that Jeudy will be limited in Wednesday's practice due to an injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Analysis: Jeudy appears to have emerged from Sunday's loss to the Steelers nicked up, though it's encouraging to see him on the practice field in some capacity. The nature of Jeudy's injury will be revealed when the Broncos' first official practice report of the week is posted later Wednesday. Given that Denver has already lost Courtland Sutton (knee) for the season and Drew Lock (shoulder) for multiple weeks, Jeudy will take on an even more important role in the Broncos passing game for at least the…read more

Top Broncos wideout sans Sutton

Jeudy is the Broncos' de facto No. 1 WR following news that Courtland Sutton (torn ACL) is out for the season, Ben Swanson of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Jeudy has led the Broncos with 15 targets through two weeks, and he's turned that into eight catches for 118 yards but no touchdowns.

Week 2 brings another opportunity for Jeudy, as he and the Broncos take on a Steelers…read more
