Breshad Perriman (WR, NYJ) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

ROSTERED: 8% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: New York Jets' marquee free-agent acquisition Breshad Perriman has played all of two and a half games this season... He completed the first game of the year putting up a dud (4.7 PPR points), then got injured in Week 2 (3.2 points on 20 snaps), and finally came back to the field last Sunday to face Miami, having his best game of the season so far (10.2). Things can only get better, am I right?

Perriman is far from a world-beater, don't get me wrong, but he looked terrific to close the 2019 season in Tampa Bay. With Robby Anderson leaving the team, the Jets found his replacement--style of play included--in Perriman. A quick look at his career aDOT marks tells the whole story: 17.8 in Cleveland as a rookie, 16.0 in Tampa last year, and 10.4 so far with the Jets. That latter number should rise further up with Crowder taking on most short/mid-routes.

The future bodes well for Perriman if we judge it by what he showed last weekend against Miami. In his first game back he caught half of his targets (4-of-8) for 62 yards and led the team in receiving yardage. Sure, this offense is currently handled by Joe Flacco, and QB1 Sam Darnold hasn't been inspiring either. But it's a super thing attack, so Perriman will eat whether New York likes it or not.

In two of the next three weeks (all three before the Jets bye) New York will face two bottom-half defenses in preventing points to WRs this season (BUF in W7; NE in W9), which makes Perriman a nice addition for needy deep league teams, and a weekly FLEX at least in deeper formats.
