Their 2025 seasons

The season feed carries no line for Deshaun Watson in the last completed season.

In 2025 Jerry Jeudy played 17 games and scored 120.7 PPR points, 7.1 a game, finishing WR52.

He caught 50 of 106 targets for 602 yards and 2 touchdowns, with 9 red zone targets.

He was on the field for 85 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Side by side

Deshaun Watson is a quarterback and Jerry Jeudy a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 11, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

7.4 points a game is the entire case. The books restate it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when the consensus sample holds these two again it can order them differently from the price, and this page will follow the sample rather than the books when it does.
