For the most part we try not to hype rookie wide receivers too much during draft season. That's because rookie receivers don't have a great track record of acclimating to the NFL quickly, and the lack of an offseason made the concerns even more pronounced. But just because they aren't much help early in the year, doesn't mean they can't be second-half stars. That's exactly what we got from A.J. Brown and DK Metcalf in 2019. And there are more than a few 2020 rookies who look like they may have similar upside.
Obviously, Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk and Tee Higgins are the three who are on everyone's mind. And I would be trying to add them immediately after their Week 3 performances. I'll get into prioritizing those three below, but I first want to make sure their blow ups don't make you overlook Jerry Jeudy.
In Jeudy's first three NFL games he has faced the Titans, Steelers and Buccaneers. He's had Jeff Driskel as his quarterback for half of that time. Yet he's still produced 173 receiving yards and earned eight targets per game. Has Jeudy been terribly ineffective? Of course he has, but he has had mostly bad quarterback play against mostly good defensive teams. And while I don't think Drew Lock is going to solve all the quarterback problems, the schedule will get easier and Jeudy will get better.
Someone is going to get too excited on the waiver wire and drop Jeudy this week. Don't let that be you.
Note: As of Tuesday afternoon the Titans vs. Steelers and Vikings vs. Texans games are still in question. Keep this in mind when processing waivers and we'll update these pieces as soon as we have more information. As of right now, all players from these teams are being ranked as if they're playing.
Week 4 WR Preview
Who's Out
The following players are not being projected to play Week 4 at this time. Here's what it means:
Numbers to Know
- 37 -- Keenan Allen is now tied with DeAndre Hopkins for the NFL lead with 37 targets.
- 4.1 -- A.J. Green is averaging 4.1 yards per target. That is less than 50% of his career average.
- 5.3 -- JuJu Smith-Schuster is averaging just 5.3 air yards per target. He needs either that or his target total to increase.
- 11 -- Greg Ward saw 11 targets in Week 3. If DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery are out, he could see another big total against the 49ers.
- 49.2% -- D.J. Moore has seen 49.2% of the Panthers' air yards. Just keep starting him.
- 63 -- Robert Woods already has 63 yards and a score on the ground this season.
- 6 -- Marquise Brown has exactly six targets in all three Ravens games. He needs more than that to be a must-start receiver.
- 158.3 -- Aaron Rodgers has a perfect passer rating when targeting Allen Lazard this season.
