The Bottom Line

Jerry Jeudy is the better fantasy play this season.

Jerry Jeudy has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.5-PPG advantage is real (10.1 to 8.6), and Jerry Jeudy's 3 touchdowns show scoring upside. Jakobi Meyers is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.
