Donovan Peoples-Jones Fantasy

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (concussion), offensive tackle Jack Conklin (illness, knee), defensive end Myles Garrett (shoulder), defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson (neck) and offensive guard Wyatt Teller (ankle) are active for the wild-card game against the Steelers on Sunday night. It's great news for a Browns offense that will be without head coach Kevin Stefanski and Pro Bowl guard Joel Bitonio due to COVID-19. Peoples-Jones will be the No. 3 wideout behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins and will be a low-cost deep sleeper in DFS. Garrett has 12 sacks and 33 tackles in 14 games this year and was the No. 2 defensive lineman in IDP leagues in 2020. The Browns Defense is underrated but won't be a popular fantasy selection against Pittsburgh in the final game on wild-card weekend.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (concussion) cleared the league's concussion protocols on Friday and will practice after missing the last two days. Peoples-Jones suffered a head injury in the Week 17 win over the Steelers, but even though he cleared the protocol, he's likely to be questionable to face Pittsburgh for the second straight week in the wild-card playoff game on Sunday night. The 21-year-old sixth-round pick out of Michigan had only 14 receptions on 20 targets for 304 yards (21.7 yards per catch) and two touchdowns in 12 games (two starts) this season for Cleveland. Peoples-Jones could surface for a big play here or there if he's active on Sunday night, but you can't trust him in fantasy lineups, especially with Cleveland playing in the last game on wild-card weekend.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 17 game against the Steelers with a concussion. He'll finish with one catch for 11 yards. The rookie didn't play a huge role this year but flashed some solid potential. If the Browns hold onto their playoff spot and Peoples-Jones is back for the first-round game, he might have some DFS appeal, but he'd be third in the pecking order at wide receiver behind Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. If Peoples-Jones is out, we could see more of Marvin Hall.
