After a surprisingly dreadful 2022 season, the Denver Broncos see 2023 as a reset. Nearly every player on offense can improve on their performance last year, but one bright spot for the Broncos last season was the late surge from WR Jerry Jeudy to end the season.
After he returned from injury in Week 13, Jeudy averaged 87 yards per game (YPG) and was a key generator in Denver’s offense. Below, we look at Jerry Jeudy‘s 2023 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Jeudy is expected to play a dominant role in a new look Broncos offense and if QB Russell Wilson proves that his play last year was a fluke then everyone on the Broncos will see their opportunities grow.

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)
Jeudy has an ADP of 51.71 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the range of the 4th to 5th round, depending on the size of the league. His ADP is well above his teammate Courtland Sutton (96.70).
Jeudy’s ADP puts him 20th, behind receivers like Calvin Ridley (36.60, Jacksonville Jaguars), Deebo Samuel (40.82, San Fransisco 49ers), and Amari Cooper (47.33, Cleveland Browns) and ahead of WRs like Drake London (57.01, Atlanta Falcons), Terry McLaurin (57.76, Washington Commanders), and D.J. Moore (57.50, Chicago Bears).

Where should you draft Jeudy?
After last season many people see the Broncos offense as undervalued, especially in a competitive AFC West where the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers are getting most of the attention. But the question is are people giving too much credit to the Broncos offense?
The Broncos won 5 games last year and had the 12th lowest yards per game. Can Sean Payton’s reset fill all the holes and increase the team’s scoring? While Jeudy quietly put up just under 1,000 yards last season, he only scored double digit fantasy points in 6 of the 15 games he played.
That being said, Jeudy is properly ranked as Denver’s top WR. His ceiling is much higher than Sutton and with an injury to fellow WR Tim Patrick there will be an increase in the amount of balls coming his way.
The WRs going after Jeudy is a dead zone of wasted talent with the majority of them either fighting for targets, are on new teams, or have a questionable QB.
Jeudy may be the last stop before you consider looking at tight ends or other positions on your roster. You may not want to reach for Jeudy, but if he is at the top of the board when your turn comes up in the 5th round you should grab him.
