Jabrill Peppers Fantasy

New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers was the main kick and punt returner man for the Cleveland Browns, and beat writer Lance Medow expects him to reprise that role with the Giants in 2019. However, since he is the team's starting safety, too, his usage will likely be managed at times. "It's a lot of different scenarios, and it's good to have options," special teams coach Thomas McGaughey said last month. Peppers is considered the front runner for the job, however, and others like wide receivers Corey Coleman, Bennie Fowler, Golden Tate, Cody Latimer and Brittan Golden have also see time in the return game in the past. Rookie Darius Slayton could also factor in.

The Cleveland Browns selected Michigan defensive back Jabrill Peppers with the No. 25 overall pick of the 2017 NFL draft. The slot was acquired when Cleveland traded back with the Houston Texans in the first round. Peppers is extremely versatile and can play linebacker, cornerback, safety and return kicks. Because he doesn't have a specific long-term position, he may be best used on special teams initially in Cleveland.
