3. Jerry Jeudy, WR

On paper, the Broncos have one of the top wide receiver corps in the entire NFL. The position is at full health for the first time since Week 2 of last season, as Courtland Sutton has fully recovered from a torn ACL. Sutton is a candidate for this list, but second-year pass catcher Jerry Jeudy fits the bill more.

The Broncos were surely pleased to see Jeudy, who many believed was a top-ten pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, fall into their laps with the No. 15 pick after a run on quarterbacks and offensive tackles. In his rookie season, Jeudy, caught 52-of-113 targets for 856 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games. Out of those 61 missed targets, 10 were drops, per Pro Football Reference.

Jeudy is in prime position to have a huge game on Sunday, as Sutton will no doubt receive attention from Giants cornerback James Bradberry, and may very well be shut out of the game. Jeudy could be the beneficiary of targets, as long as Bridgewater is accurate with his passes.

This could very well be the start of a breakout campaign for Jeudy.
