Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy’s numbers have dropped exponentially in the last four weeks.

After catching 37 passes in the first 10 games, he’s only caught four passes in the last four games. He had one catch on five targets against the Bills on Saturday.

“His numbers haven’t been what he would like or anybody would like, but he’s made some big plays with those catches,” coach Vic Fangio said. “Jerry’s working hard, playing good, the ball just hasn’t gotten there as much as we would like and as much as he would like at this point, recently.”

Jeudy isn’t the only Broncos rookie who had his production drop Saturday, with KJ Hamler also only catching one pass but on four targets, after having a breakout performance a week earlier with two catches for 86 yards and two touchdowns. 

Part of the issue with Jeudy and Hamler has been a tendency to drop passes. Among the 40 active rookie wide receivers, Jeudy ranks 35th in percentages of passes dropped and Hamler ranks 38th, according to Pro Football Focus. They’ve each dropped seven passes this season — the second most among rookies behind only Dallas’ CeeDee Lamb. 

“I think both of them have good hands,” Fangio said. “Occasionally you’re going to have some drops, but obviously just repetition and catching a million balls in the offseason, during the season, practice. All of that will help improve your hands, but I think both of them have shown that they belong in this league and will be good players in this league for a long time.”

Here’s how Jeudy, Hamler and the rest of the Broncos rookies are performing through Week 15:

2020 Broncos rookies

Michael Ojemudia, cornerback

School: Iowa

Pick: Round 3, No. 77

Analysis: Ojemudia played every defensive snap against the Chiefs and Panthers, and played 75 percent against the Bills before being ejected in the third quarter for throwing a punch.

Lloyd Cushenberry III, center

School: LSU

Pick: Round 3, No. 83
