WR Breshad Perriman, IND (1 Viewer)

Jets HC Adam Gase said WR Breshad Perriman has developed "good chemistry very quickly" with QB Sam Darnold. 

It's a typical training camp quote but could mean something on a team with so many vacated targets and air yards. Jets beat writers have documented Darnold hitting Perriman for long gains during training camp. Perriman is among the late-round wideouts with the most upside in 2020. He was the second highest scoring receiver in fantasy football from Week 13-17 last season.

Breshad Perriman has missed "over a week" of practice with swelling in his knee.

Not ideal. Perriman, of course, tore his PCL in 2015 and sprained his ACL a year later. It's unclear if this injury is to the same knee, but there is obvious reason for concern with him missing this much action. The Jets are severely banged up at receiver, with Denzel Mims missing the entire camp to this point with a pulled hamstring. The Jets' lone healthy wideouts on Tuesday were Josh Malone, Donte Moncrief, Jehu Chesson, and George Campbell.

Jets coach Adam Gase said WR Breshad Perriman is "feeling a lot better" ahead of Week 1.

Perriman has been absent from practice since late August with a swelling knee. With only five available receivers on the active roster and rookie Denzel Mims (hamstring) also nursing an injury ahead of Week 1, the Jets are potentially eyeing Jamison Crowder, Chris Hogan, and Braxton Berrios in three-wide sets against the Bills. In that scenario, the team would likely call up either Donte Moncrief or Lawrence Cager from the practice squad. Crowder remains the only fantasy viable wideout among this group in Week 1.

Breshad Perriman (knee) is practicing in full for Week 1 against the Bills.

All three of Perriman, Denzel Mims (hamstring) and Jamison Crowder (hamstring) were listed as full for Wednesday. It's a good sign after the Jets dealt with a bunch of wideout injuries this summer. When everyone is healthy, we'd expect that trio to be the Jets' three-wide set for most of the season. Chris Hogan may get the initial starts over Mims, however.

Breshad Perriman said he's not thinking about his knee. He is back. Said the knee injury is not related to his previous knee injuries. Feels like his timing with Darnold is good. #nyj

Breshad Perriman caught 3-of-5 targets for 17 yards in the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Bills. 

Perriman was a distant third in targets behind Jamison Crowder's 13 and Chris Herndon's seven. The Jets need Perriman to be their primary outside receiver, but at least for now, it does not appear it will be a profitable fantasy position in a discombobulated offense. It was against one of the best defenses in the league, but the Jets were unspeakably bad on Sunday. Things seem extremely unlikely to get better in Week 2 against the 49ers. Perriman is not a must drop, but he is looking like a tenuous hold in 12-team leagues.

Jets WR Breshad Perriman (ankle) is considered week-to-week. 

Perriman, the Jets' presumed No. 1 receiver headed into Sunday's game against the 49ers, left in the first half with the ankle injury. With Perriman and Jamison Crowder (hamstring) iffy for Week 3 against the Colts, Chris Hogan -- who drew eight targets in Week 2 -- could be New York's WR1. It's an indictment on the Jets and western civilization at large.

I was wrong about this guy.  He was in the perfect offense and situation last year but clearly this guy just isn't that good and is too injury prone. Drop in all formats.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports Breshad Perriman (ankle) is targeting a Week 5 return.

Perriman missed the last two games and hasn't practiced since going down in Week 2. With the Jets playing on Thursday night, there's hope he'll be ready to return in 10 days. The Jets could also get Le'Veon Bell (hamstring, IR) and rookie Denzel Mims back in Week 5.

ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports it “doesn’t sound like” Breshad Perriman (ankle) will play this week.

Perriman hasn’t practiced the last two weeks. He’s likely going to miss his third straight game Sunday against the Cardinals. Denzel Mims (hamstring) also looks doubtful to return from IR. Jamison Crowder, Chris Hogan, and Jeff Smith should be Joe Flacco’s top targets in Week 5.

Breshad Perriman (hamstring) is doubtful for Week 5 against the Cardinals.

Perriman is not going to be available, and even if he was, he's not viable with Joe Flacco at quarterback and Jamison Crowder soaking up targets. Perriman should be able to return the following game, yet will be limited to no-floor WR5 territory.

Breshad Perriman (ankle) is practicing on a limited basis Wednesday.

It's the first time Perriman has practiced in the last two weeks. Coach Adam Gase "sounded hopeful" that Perriman returns Sunday. Perriman would likely need to get in a full practice to play.

Breshad Perriman (ankle) remained "limited" on Thursday. 

Perriman is trending toward suiting up for the first time since Week 2. The problem is, it would be with Joe Flacco under center. Flacco comprehensively failed to develop a connection with Perriman in Baltimore. Even with the Jets' lack of viable targets in the passing game, Perriman would not be in the WR4 mix vs. the Dolphins.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Jets WR Breshad Perriman (ankle) is expected to play in Week 6 against the Dolphins.

Perriman returns to an offense in desperate need of playmakers. They did not activate Denzel Mims off of injured reserve leaving Jamison Crowder as their only pass-catcher with any weekly upside. The team also cut ties with Le'Veon Bell since their last game. Perriman has been out since Week 2 with an ankle injury. He caught 5-of-7 targets for 29 yards in his two games played. He's not worth starting on fantasy rosters yet but could work his way into a fantasy-relevant role moving forward.

Jets WR Breshad Perriman (ankle, knee) practiced fully on Thursday. 

Perriman played 89 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps last week against the Dolphins, catching four of eight targets for 62 yards. Fantasy players would do well to avoid playing Jets pass catchers outside of target hog Jamison Crowder.

Breshad Perriman (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 8.

Perriman couldn't clear the concussion protocol after taking a hit late in Sunday's loss. With Jamison Crowder (groin) also looking doubtful, rookie Denzel Mims should lead the Jets in Week 8 targets.

Breshad Perriman (concussion) has been cleared for Week 9 against the Patriots. 

Perriman was removed from the Week 9 injury report after practicing in full on Friday and Saturday. It's great news for Perriman, though his return comes at the same time as Jamison Crowder (groin). Joe Flacco will also be under center on Monday evening. With rookie Denzel Mims starting to claim a role in the offense, Perriman is off the WR4 radar.

Breshad Perriman caught 5-of-7 targets for 101 yards and two touchdowns in the Jets' Week 9 loss to the Patriots.

Cleared from a concussion to play this week, Perriman led the Jets in receiving and was second to Denzel Mims (8) in targets. But it was Perriman making the plays, running by CB J.C. Jackson for a 50-yard score in the second quarter and then burning Jackson again as he fell down on an easy 15-yard touchdown in the third frame. They were Perriman's first touchdowns of the season. He'll be a WR4/5 when the Jets come out of their bye to face the Chargers in Week 11.

Breshad Perriman (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Perriman returned from a concussion to play in Week 9. With the Jets coming off a bye, his latest injury shouldn't keep him out of the lineup. Perriman is a WR5 for a matchup with the Chargers.

I picked him up again off waivers but I wouldn't start him until he plays a few games without any health concerns.  It's just hard to trust this guy but he does have a high ceiling any given week if he plays and seems to have a good rapport with Flacco. He does have sweet matchups in Weeks 13 and 14.

That may be never. I don't think he's played a game this year where he didn't get hurt even if he entered it healthy.

Breshad Perriman caught 4-of-8 targets for 79 yards in Week 12 against Miami.

Perriman led the Jets in yards and was targeted on 30% of Sam Darnold's passing attempts. He tied Denzel Mims with a team-high eight targets. There was some thought that Perriman would take a backset to Jamison Crowder with Darnold starting, but that wasn't the case this week. Perriman will remain a high-risk WR4 for Week 13 against the Raiders.

Breshad Perriman caught 3-of-6 targets for 84 yards in New York's Week 17 loss to the Patriots.

Perriman actually opened the year in two-wide sets with Jamison Crowder but, like most of the Jets’ receivers at one point or another, suffered multiple injuries and missed four games. Perriman still flashed on occasion, particularly with 5/101/2 from Joe Flacco in New York's first matchup against the Patriots, but failed to provide any consistency in taking a step backwards in his overall production with the Bucs the year prior. Help is fortunately on the way as the Jets are fully expected to sign a competent coach and add a gunner under center with the No. 2 overall pick. Perriman will make for a tremendous value in 2021 drafts given the shakeups coming.

The Athletic's Connor Hughes doesn't expect the Jets to re-sign impending free agent Breshad Perriman.

Still just 27, Perriman landed a one-year deal with the Jets last offseason following his final-month breakout with the Bucs. Injuries became normal for Perriman with Gang Green, as he battled issues with both ankles from the start of the year. He played in 12 games, posting a 30-505-3 line but averaged a robust 16.8 yards per catch. In a perfect world, Perriman is a deep-threat No. 3 or 4 wideout on a good team, not the top outside weapon. The Jets have a whole lot of holes to fill on offense.

Lions signed WR Breshad Perriman, formerly of the Jets, to a one-year, $3 million contract. 

Perriman instantly becomes the No. 1 wideout for the league's most barren receiver corps. More help will be on the way, but Perriman should be a starter. Perriman would ideally be a role-playing No. 3 or 4 option, but his deep threat remains undeniable. He averaged 16.8 yards per catch last season with Sam Darnold and Joe Flacco at the sticks for the Jets' moribund offense. Jared Goff struggles in the deep game, though he also lacked a down-field threat like Perriman in Los Angeles last year. There should have been more teams willing to pay Perriman. He could come into the fantasy WR3 mix during weeks where four teams are on bye.

The Athletic's Chris Burke reports that Lions WR Breshad Perriman has been running with the second team at training camp this week.

Burke noted that "Detroit’s first-team offense this week has featured a receiving group of Tyrell Williams, [Amon-Ra] St. Brown and Kalif Raymond, almost exclusively." He did add that the coaching staff could just be easing Perriman back in after he missed last weekend's preseason game with a minor injury. Still, there has been a steady drumbeat suggesting Williams is the Lions' WR1, although T.J. Hockenson and D'Andre Swift may be their top-two pass-catchers overall.
