Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Do I believe Donovan Peoples-Jones is a bonafide WR1 as he showed this past Sunday when he put up a magnificent 26.1 PPR score? No. Not at all. But I don't need to tell you that because you just can look at his 1-percent rostership and get all of the information you need. That being said, though, the Browns are lacking receiving options, and both Landry (coming out of IR) and OBJ (getting injured this weekend) are banged up and leaving the door of opportunity open for Donovan.

It's been two weeks in a row for DPJ racking up chances. He logged 6 targets in Week 5 for 5 receptions and 70 yards back then, and he's now coming off his best game of the season to date thanks to a ridiculously efficient 5-target, 4-reception, 101-yard, 2-touchdown performance against the Cards on Sunday. The 26.1 PPR points made DPJ the WR5 of the week only pending MNF's game. Not bad if you ask me.

Now, will this hold ROS? Hard to know. Obviously, DPJ won't be putting up 25+ FP weekly no matter what. The thing is, can OBJ stay healthy ROS, and can Jarvis Landry finally come back from the IR in Week 7 and stay on the field also for the remaining 11 weeks of play? Call me crazy, but I'm of the opinion at least one of those two will miss more time down the road keeping Donovan at least viable as a streaming option in most deep leagues. Not worth a roster spot for those of you in shallower formats, for sure, but definitely a nice addition/start at the WR2/WR3/Flex spot in fantasy leagues with a ton of teams in which options are thin at best.
