Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Explosive performance in finale
Rotowire
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.
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, 972 receiving yards and six touchdowns across 15 games were all career highs. The 2020 first-round pick enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2023, but given his strong body of work in his first season with Wilson, it's likely the Broncos pick up Jeudy's fifth-year option this offseason.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Cleared for Week 18 action
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
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.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Reps capped in practice again
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
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 Sunday's season finale against the Chargers, Jeudy should once again fill a high-volume role in the Denver passing attack.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Logs limited practice
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.
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.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Active against Chiefs
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
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.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: WRs to Start
Rotowire
One of the few positives for the Broncos this season has been the breakout campaign for Jeudy, and he's on fire heading into Week 17 at Kansas City. In his past three games, Jeudy is averaging 21.3 PPR points per game with 27 targets, 21 catches, 266 yards and three touchdowns over that span. This hot streak started in Week 14 against the Chiefs when Jeudy had 33 PPR points, and he should once again do well in the rematch. Even with Courtland Sutton coming back from a two-game absence with a hamstring injury in Week 16 at the Rams, Jeudy still had 10 targets for six catches and 117 yards. He has top-10 upside in all leagues for this week, and you can also consider Sutton a sleeper as a high-end No. 3 receiver.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Questionable for Week 17
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after logging limited practices this week.
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.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Top DFS Play
Rotowire
Jeudy scored 33.3 Fantasy points the last time he faced the Chiefs and hasn't been below 14 PPR points in a full game since Week 6. Don't be surprised if the Broncos offense gets a little boost from the firing of Nathaniel Hackett and puts up a big number against a suspect Chiefs defense.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Still limited in practice
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) will remain a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
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 maintenance-related reasons. Hinton, meanwhile, has sat out Denver's last two games and may need to advance to full participation to get cleared for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Limited by ankle issue
Rotowire
Jeudy was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.
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 be monitored in practices Thursday and Friday to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: New season high in receiving yards
Rotowire
Jeudy had six receptions (10 targets) for 117 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
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 when they met in Week 14.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Jeudy is locked in right now as a solid Fantasy receiver, and we'll see what happens if Courtland Sutton (hamstring) is able to play in Week 16 at the Rams. In the past two games without Sutton, Jeudy has been fantastic with 15 catches for 149 yards and three touchdowns on 17 targets against the Chiefs and Cardinals. The matchup with the Rams is tough, but they have allowed four touchdowns to receivers in their past five games, with four guys scoring at least 12 PPR points. Jeudy is a borderline No. 1 receiver if Sutton remains out, and Jeudy is still worth starting in all leagues even if Sutton returns.

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

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Even with Russell Wilson (concussion) out and Brett Rypien the starting quarterback, I'll still start Jeudy with confidence in the majority of leagues this week against the Cardinals. That's because Courtland Sutton (hamstring) is out again, and that should allow Jeudy to soak up targets. That's what happened in Week 14 against the Chiefs when he had eight catches for 73 yards and three touchdowns on nine targets, and his final touchdown came from Rypien. Jeudy also did well with Rypien in Week 7 against the Jets with seven catches for 96 yards on 11 targets. Four receivers have scored at least 15 PPR points against the Cardinals in their past three games, and Jeudy has top-10 upside this week with Sutton hurt.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Jeudy returned from his two-game absence with an ankle injury in Week 13 at Baltimore and had four catches for 65 yards on four targets. Courtland Sutton (hamstring) is likely out for Week 14 against Kansas City, which means Jeudy should be the top target for Russell Wilson in a game where the Broncos are probably throwing a lot while chasing points. Jeudy has five games this season with at least seven targets, and he scored at least 16 PPR points in three of them. There have been 17 receivers to get at least seven targets against the Chiefs this year, and 14 of them have scored at least 13 PPR points. I like Jeudy as a top 15 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues this week.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Cleared to play while Sutton sits
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) practiced fully Friday and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
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 also see a fair amount of snaps and targets in a game that could feature a pass-heavy game script for the underdog Broncos.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday, Ellie Kinney of the Broncos' official site reports.
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 still is working out whether the receiver will be on a restricted snap count like he was last week.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Jeudy has played at least 80% of the snaps in six games this season. In those games he's averaged 14.5 PPR Fantasy points. With Courtland Sutton out, his role could be even larger, especially with the Broncos chasing the score against the Chiefs.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Jeudy (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
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.

Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Four grabs in return
Rotowire
Jeudy secured all four targets for 65 yards in the Broncos' 10-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
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.
