Breshad Perriman Targeted Eight Times In Loss
Breshad Perriman was expected to see a decreased role, but that not was not the case in this one. He hauled in four of his eight targets for 79 yards in the Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He tied with Denzel Mims with a team-high eight targets, so clearly the Jets want to get him involved. Sadly, Perriman has not been able to make much happen with his chances. He'll be a low-end WR3 in PPR formats for the Week 13 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Colts Sign Breshad Perriman
Breshad Perriman to an undisclosed deal on Monday and waived wide receiver Tyler Adams in a corresponding move. The signing comes after the Colts worked out Perriman on Friday. The 29-year-old pass-catcher was a first-round pick (26th overall) by the Baltimore Ravens in 2015. Perriman only lasted two years in Baltimore and has played for four different NFL teams in his seven seasons so far. In the last two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he's caught 20 of 37 targets for 277 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games (three starts). Perriman caught nine of 19 targets in 2022 for 110 yards and a score in 11 games. He'll provide veteran big-play depth behind Michael Pittman Jr. in Indy, but playing time will likely be limited.

Breshad Perriman Visits With Colts
Breshad Perriman for a visit on Friday. The organization is having discussing about signing the 29-year-old wideout. Perriman has spent the two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he hasn't played a very big role on the team due to injuries. In fact, Perriman has totaled 20 receptions, 267 yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games over the last two seasons. Despite that, Perriman is a decent depth option for the Colts. He likely won't have a big enough role to carve out fantasy value, but he could be a nice fourth or fifth receiver.

Julio Jones, Breshad Perriman, Scotty Miller Not Expected Back
Julio Jones, Breshad Perriman or Scotty Miller, according to a source. Veterans such as running back Giovani Bernard, tight end Kyle Rudolph and safeties Logan Ryan and Keanu Neal are also not expected to return. Jones is the biggest name of the group. The seven-time Pro Bowler just finished up his 12th year in the NFL and looked close to finished while continue to battle lower-body injuries. He played in only 10 games for the second straight season and compiled only 24 catches on 43 targets for 299 yards and two touchdowns for Tampa. With Jones likely out of the picture in 2023, Russell Gage could once again become a nice sleeper pick in draft, depending on what happens with quarterback Tom Brady.

Breshad Perriman Logs Full Practice Wednesday
Breshad Perriman (knee, hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Bucs wideouts Chris Godwin (hip/knee), Julio Jones (knee), and Russell Gage (ankle) were either limited or did not practice on Wednesday. Perriman could have an expanded role if any of the Bucs' receivers miss Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he is currently the fifth on the wide receiver depth chart behind Mike Evans, Godwin, Gage, and Jones. Perriman had six catches for 89 yards and a touchdown over three games in 2022.
