Last season, Sutton is back and Jeudy gets hurt in the second half of the first game and misses the next 6 games.
Rains it pours.
Edit .. in 2021, Jeudy (5 starts) did have more receiving yards than MVS (8 starts) and JuJu (5 starts). So, at least he's got that going for him.

Fant is absolutely replaceable. Compared to Albert O, he had about twice the targets, twice the receptions, twice the yards, twice the TDs. He really didn't perform any better, he just had more opportunities.
Hopefully Jeudy continues to explore and discover the usage of his fingers. He had an absolutely abysmal 46% catch rate in 2020 (200th of 202 in the NFL), but managed to bump that up to a respectable 67.9% in 2021, which is only 0.3% behind Lockett, who many here have told me is responsible for Wilson's success.
