Breshad Perriman Fantasy

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman thinks the team's offense can be dangerous this year after they ranked 32nd in the league last season. Perriman had 645 receiving yards and six touchdowns last year in a Buccaneers offense that ranked No. 1 in passing (302.8 yards per game), No. 3 overall (397.9 YPG) and No. 4 in scoring (28.6 points per game). The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder has done some informal throwing sessions with quarterback Sam Darnold in Florida and is impressed with the young QB. Perriman thinks he has a pretty good grasp of the offense despite this unique offseason. He has a 16.4 career yards-per-catch average and an 80.8 percent first-down conversion rate in 2018 and 2019. The 26-year-old finished red-hot last year with both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin hurt, but don't expect that efficiency to carry over to a Jets team looking for answers on offense. Perriman will likely be an inconsistent big-play wideout as a WR4/5 for fantasy owners.

The New York Jets agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $8 million with wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Tuesday, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. The deal includes $6 million in guarantees. Perriman will help replace Robby Anderson, who signed with the Panthers earlier in the day. The 26-year-old Perriman had 36 catches for 645 yards and six touchdowns with Tampa Bay last year, averaging 17.9 yards per catch in 14 games while seeing just 56 percent of the snaps. He did most of his damage down the stretch when both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were injured. Perriman is a speedy receiver that will provide quarterback Sam Darnold with a nice downfield threat to complement Jamison Crowder in the slot. The former first-round pick should be a WR3/4 target, but fantasy owners shouldn't overpay for him, as he could be a frustrating boom/bust asset.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were focused on re-signing their own players before they signed quarterback Tom Brady, so they could return their focus on bringing back wide receiver Breshad Perriman as a downfield threat for Brady. The 26-year-old finished the 2019 season with 36 catches for 645 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in 14 games in his first year in Tampa. He did most of his damage late in the year when both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were out of the lineup with injuries, but Perriman is an excellent deep threat and a solid No. 3 wideout behind Evans and Godwin. The question is whether Brady's arm strength will be up to the task of hitting Perriman deep on a consistent basis. If he returns to Tampa, he'll be an inconsistent, boom/bust WR5/6.
