Breshad Perriman Fantasy

With DeSean Jackson back in Philadelphia, Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman steps into the WR3 role. Although Jackson is significantly more talented, Perriman can pass as a burner option at WR and maybe make a few plays this season. He is largely viewed as a bust due to his underperformance in Baltimore along with his injury history, however, he did have a bit of revitalization in Cleveland. Last season, Perriman had the highest catch rate and yards per reception of his short career and looks to build on that in Bruce Arians' offense next to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Perriman is only viable in extremely deep leagues but is someone to watch due to his pedigree. He should not be started against the 49ers in Week 1.

Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman saw two targets on Friday but only caught one for 11 yards. His other target was a deep shot which sailed over his head and into the end-zone. Can't blame him for not bringing that in but it is disappointing that there were not more opportunities for him on Friday. The former first-round pick is now on his third team in a handful of seasons and needs to not only prove that he can stay healthy, but also play at a consistently solid level. Perriman has an opportunity to get significant snaps if he takes over as the WR3 in Tampa, but that will require a strong preseason. He is not very fantasy-relevant right now but could be if an injury hits somewhere down the road.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman won't quite replace DeSean Jackson as the team's deep threat in 2019, but the Buccaneers are the "most excited about" Perriman among their offseason acquisitions. Perriman was a first-round bust for the Ravens and has a history of drops, but he looked good in the second half of the season with Cleveland and finished with 16 catches for 340 yards and two touchdowns, including an impressive 21.3 yards per catch. Head coach Bruce Arians loves speedy receivers, so Perriman has an opportunity to make some noise as a late-round sleeper in deeper leagues behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
