Jerry Jeudy to Occupy Slot Role for Browns in 2024


The Athletic's Zac Jackson also specified that it would, of course, be Amari Cooper on the outside at X and that Cedric Tillman would line up as their flanker with Jeudy manning the slot. Cleveland traded for the embattled former Bronco this offseason and immediately awarded him with a three-year deal, suggesting that they have plans to make him a significant part of the offense in 2024. However, as the slot receiver, it’s a possibility that we only see Jeudy take the field in three-WR sets. That could limit his opportunity in a Cleveland offense that already features two proven target earners in Amari Cooper and David Njoku, but it’s worth noting as well that Jeudy was a much better receiver operating out of the slot than out wide; his 1.93 yards per route run out of the slot dwarfs his measly 1.44 yards per route run on the outside. Further complicating Jeudy’s fantasy prospects is the status of QB Deshaun Watson, who didn’t look himself in limited action last year and is looking to get his career back on track this season. Jeudy likely won’t be anything more than a potential WR4/flex play, but it’s at least encouraging to hear that the Browns do have plans to get him on the field.
