4. Jeudy leads the way in catches, Sutton in yardage, TDs

The fourth prediction, Jerry Jeudy will lead the team in catches… but Courtland Sutton will lead the team in yards and touchdowns.

Jerry Jeudy is a human cheat code. His technical route-running skills at the age of 21 are mind-boggling. He will be a Lock favorite on third down and provide Sutton with a Robin to his Batman.

Jeudy’s ability to work out of the slot will also create extra underneath options to rack up catch totals.

However, Sutton is a YAC machine and a true 70-30 jump ball threat in the red zone. Sutton will and can create big plays from anywhere on the field. Look for Lock to target Sutton when a big play is needed.

As we saw last year, the Pro-Bowler delivered when he was needed most.
