Jeudy's 11 yards accounted for his lowest total of the season. Additionally, the veteran wideout saw his second-lowest snap share of the season, 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 since Denver's Week 9 bye, has become the preferred option for quarterback Russell Wilson. Nonetheless, the fourth-year receiver will look to bounce back in a Week 13 matchup against the Texans.
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 tactic from an entirely different sport was performed on a whim. Either way, Jeudy will remain a deep-league option when the Broncos take on the Browns next Sunday.
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.
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.
