Donovan Peoples-Jones is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Donovan Peoples-Jones has been a steady, if unspectacular, producer in this run-heavy Cleveland Browns offense. He heads into Cleveland's bye week on the heels of a solid performance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, a contest in which he reeled in all four of his targets for 81 yards.
Peoples-Jones has now recorded 70 or more receiving yards in four of Cleveland's last five. Though he's clearly playing second fiddle to Amari Cooper in this Browns receiving corps, he's been on the field for an average of 87% of the Browns' offensive plays this season, and his 46 targets this year trail only Cooper for the team lead.
While the Browns are one of the league's most run-heavy teams, DPJ has locked up the deep-threat role in this offense. He sports a healthy aDOT of 12.82 over Cleveland's last five games and has garnered an impressive 29.3% of the team's Air Yards since Week 4.
The Browns will be entering their bye week in Week 9, but Peoples-Jones is a nice player to stash ahead of Week 10 if you're needy at the position, are considering streamers, or just need to fill gaps at your FLEX position going forward.
