Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was injured in his Week 10 game, and even though he hasn't been a fantasy superstar, plenty of fantasy managers are counting on him, especially since big-name wideouts like Cooper Kupp, Ja'Marr Chase, and Marquise Brown have all been bitten by the injury bug.
Jeudy has had a few boom weeks and is right there with Courtland Sutton in contention for the Broncos' No. 1 wide receiver role so his Week 11 status is significant.
Is Jeudy going to play in Week 11? If so, is he worth starting on a struggling Broncos offense?

Is Jerry Jeudy Healthy or Injured?
Jeudy (ankle) left the game against the Tennessee Titans after the first play for the offense and was carted to the locker room and quickly ruled out. However, his injury is considered to be mild, which is a huge sigh of relief for the Broncos, as his injury looked like it could be serious.
That said, It's too early to know if he'll play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Fantasy managers should continue to follow our news desk and fantasy football updates throughout the week for his latest status.
Should I Start Jerry Jeudy in Week 11 Fantasy Football if Active?
The Raiders are a mid-level defense against fantasy wide receivers, but it's tough to sit Jeudy unless you have several studs at wide receiver. In Weeks 5-8, Jeudy averaged 8.25 targets per game and began surpassing Sutton on the target totem pole. He has the speed and YAC ability to put up fantasy points in a hurry, so his upside remains high, despite his low floor.
Denver had its best offensive performance in Week 4 against Las Vegas and Jeudy caught four passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. This same Raiders team just allowed Matt Ryan and a poor Colts offense to put up 25 points, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for Denver to have another solid offensive day.
All that said, Jeudy is a solid boom-or-bust option if you need help at wide receiver. If he's out, Sutton should see another double-digit target game, with Kendall Hinton, Greg Dulcich, and K.J. Hamler (if active) being secondary targets for Wilson.
