Jerry Jeudy injury update: Latest on Browns WR's status for Week 9 Fantasy Football

Jerry Jeudy has been ever-present for the Browns in the 2024 NFL season, even though that has not helped Cleveland on the offensive side of the ball too much. The wide receiver has just 345 yards in eight games this season and a single touchdown that came in Week 1 against the Cowboys.

However, fantasy football managers might have been heartened by his performance last week when he recorded 79 yards, the highest mark for the year for him. If we put down the Browns' offensive struggles to Deshaun Watson, who is now injured and out for the rest of the season, then there is some hope that he might fare better in Week 9 and carry on his form from the last game.

But that has now been jeopardized with Jerry Jeudy popping up on the injury report for Cleveland's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. We have the details of whether he is expected to take the field.

Is Jerry Jeudy playing in Week 9?

Jerry Jeudy was listed in the Week 9 report with a knee injury. Initially, fantasy football managers could have pointed to his status in Week 8, when he was battling with the same injury. He went through full practice sessions and participated in the victory over the Ravens.

However, in Week 9, his status has degraded over the week. He was a participant in full practice on Wednesday before being limited on both Thursday and Friday. That might be more precautionary, though, given his importance to the team, since he did not have a game designation in the final injury report. That indicates that he is expected to play in the game against the Chargers.

In terms of fantasy football points, he might be a savvy addition for any manager. Browns quarterback Jameis Winston was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 8, as he recorded 334 passing yards and three touchdowns without an interception. There is hope that it signals that Cleveland's offense is finally getting better in the absence of Deshaun Watson and their wide receivers, therefore, are likely to get more chances to shine.

How to watch Cleveland Browns vs Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9?

The Browns have a newfound swagger after they defeated the Ravens in Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season. Not only was it a victory over a hated divisional rival, it came against a team that was labeled as one of the best in the NFL. With that win, Cleveland is now 2-6 for the season.

They face the Chargers in Week 9, who come into this matchup with a 4-3 record. They are currently third in the AFC West but have the same number of losses as the Broncos ahead of them having played one game less. Jerry Jeudy and his comrades will have the chance to defeat another Harbaugh brother this week after having done the same in the preceding matchday.

Here is how one can follow all the action.

Meanwhile, the Chargers know a win will catapult them over the Broncos in the AFC West, who face a tough matchup at the same time against a Ravens team looking for revenge this week.
