The 2024 NFL season has compelled fantasy soccer managers to endure our fair proportion of accidents, and we’ve even escaped weeks when prime gamers have been shut out utterly.
However now we’re being tasked with navigating by means of 5 new quarterbacks taking snaps for his or her groups this week, and vast receivers we assumed could be guiding us to the finals are actually query marks on our rosters.
Browns wideout Jerry Jeudy was alleged to be this season’s fantasy savior, an actual league-winner.
With Jameis Winston beneath middle over the previous seven video games, Jeudy averaged seven catches for 112.3 receiving yards on 10 targets per sport.
He had three 100-yard efforts (one for 235 yards) and located the top zone 3 times. His lowest output throughout that span was 12.9 PPR factors, and 3 times he surpassed the 20-point threshold.
Now, in the course of the fantasy semifinals right here in Week 16, the Browns are dealing with the Bengals, arguably one of many worst cross defenses within the league.
Big, proper?
League-winner you say? Not so quick.
Winston is understood for his “huck-it, chuck-it” model, and interceptions are all a part of his sport.
Everybody is aware of that. Even the Browns.
Betting on the NFL?
However this week, they’ve determined they will not abdomen the turnovers and have changed Winston with Dorian Thompson-Robinson, a backup who isn’t any pal to fantasy.
So how are we anticipated to worth Jeudy this week?
Can Thompson-Robinson be trusted, and may we afford to even think about it in the course of the fantasy playoffs?
With different receivers akin to Keenan Allen, Jalen McMillan and Adam Thielen all rising in worth, who’re you trusting in your lineup?
With these three, we all know there are constant, high quality targets.
Caleb Williams and Bryce Younger are leaning closely on their veterans, and McMillan appears to have lastly stuffed the No. 2 receiver emptiness for Baker Mayfield left by Chris Godwin.
Given Thompson-Robinson’s observe report and lack of observe time with Jeudy, all three appear to be higher choices, every with a better flooring.
And the Browns are solely the tip of the iceberg.
The Falcons benched Kirk Cousins for Michael Penix Jr.
The Titans are staying with Mason Rudolph.
The Saints are rolling out Spencer Rattler, and the Giants are going again to Drew Lock.
Gamers akin to Drake London and Calvin Ridley are becoming a member of Jeudy within the pool of receivers we don’t know if we will belief.
Following the targets and siding with extra dependable quarterbacks may be the one strategy to advance to your fantasy Tremendous Bowl.
