TB WR Breshad Perriman - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Detroit Lions

Breshad Perriman was already starting to trend upwards, and last week he saw a boost after Mike Evans went down with an injury. Perriman finished 3-70-1 on six targets. He gets a great matchup against the Lions this week, and could be a sleeper option at wideout. He obviously carries risk as he's caught just 19 passes all season, but the opportunity and the matchup make him a relevant WR4 in Week 15.

BAL WR Breshad Perriman - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Last season, Breshad Perriman showed flashes of the big-play potential that made him a first round pick in 2015. He caught 33 balls for 499 yards and 3 touchdowns, while averaging 15.1 yards per reception. Perriman has a rare blend of size and speed that makes him a potential No. 1 WR if he can ever stay on the field and become more consistent with his hands.

Fantasy Downside

Unfortunately for Perriman, the Ravens signed Jeremy Maclin in the offseason, which will limit his ability to earn a starting role opposite Mike Wallace. While Perriman should win the No. 3 WR job on the team, Baltimore may not put up enough passing numbers to sustain more than one or two receivers. Perriman also needs to stay healthy. He’s already battling hamstring issues during camp, and after missing his entire rookie season with nagging injuries, it’s hard to bank on him staying on the field.

2017 Bottom Line

Perriman remains a nice dynasty stash and late-round flier, as the Ravens need a WR to break out and earn the top job on the depth chart. Additionally, Maclin is coming off an injury-plagued 2016 season, so it’s reasonable to think there’s room for Perriman to climb the depth chart through attrition. Fantasy owners should consider him a stash option on their rosters, and not draft him with the assumption he’ll be a spot starter.

BAL WR Breshad Perriman - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Perriman comes with a strong pedigree. The son of former Detroit Lion Brett Perriman, an a first round pick last year out of UCF, Perriman brings size and speed to the Baltimore receiving corps. He’s 6-foot-2 and averaged over 20 yards per reception in each of his final two college seasons. If he can get healthy, he has a legitimate chance to challenge for a starting position early.

Fantasy Downside

Unfortunately, Perriman has yet to see the field as a pro. He struggled with injuries last year and missed the entire season, and now he’s trying to recover from a partially torn ACL and might even end up starting the year on PUP. Meanwhile, free agent acquisition Mike Wallace is getting reps in the offense, filling the role that could conceivably be up for grabs.

2016 Bottom Line

There are a lot of ifs with Perriman. If he gets healthy, and if he can win a job on the outside, then he could do well this year. Until I can be a little more optimistic about those ifs, I’m going to be hesitant to consider Perriman in any fantasy format with the exception dynasty and keeper leagues with large rosters where I can stash him for the future.

BAL WR Breshad Perriman - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Oakland
Rookie Breshad Perriman missed last week’s outing against the Broncos and is still nursing a knee issue. Early reports indicate he’s unlikely to be back until October.

BAL WR Breshad Perriman - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Denver

Breshad Perriman is unlikely to suit up for the first game of the season due to a right knee issue. Fantasy owners should be wary about starting the rookie out of UCF until he can show he can be not only stay healthy, but be productive as a first-year player in Baltimore.

BAL WR Breshad Perriman - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Breshad Perriman played well his sophomore year at UCF, but really shined last year as a Junior, catching 50 balls for 1,044 yards and nine touchdowns. He has good size and speed and showed a propensity to make big plays at the collegiate level. The Ravens used a first round pick on him, and they’re hoping he can be a downfield threat for a passing game that lost Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith during the off-season.

Fantasy Upside
Perriman is a big play guy and should be able to find his way to some solid games this year, just by catching a bomb or two. He also has a lot of room in front of him on the depth chart. Marlon Brown is his only real competition for a starting job opposite veteran Steve Smith, and Brown hasn’t been able to separate himself in the past. The Ravens are going to be looking for Perriman to replace the 49 receptions and 767 yards Torrey Smith put up last year at least, which gives him a good chance to make an early impact.

Fantasy Downside
Consistency catching the ball has been Perriman’s issue, and is one of the primary reasons he wasn’t drafted higher in the first round. He also is a rookie, going to a team that has struggled to produce elite fantasy players at the wide receiver position. Because of this, Perriman is a risky option for fantasy owners to bet on.

Bottom Line
The Ravens will feature a new, pass-happy system under offensive coordinator Marc Trestman, and Perriman should benefit from opportunity in his rookie year. He’s a risky option as a first year player with some technique and hands issues, but he’s pretty good value in the ninth round, where his ADP is putting him, as a rookie receiver with a ton of upside. Boom/bust is written all over him.

Update:
Perriman's injury may keep him out for the first month of the season. Fantasy owners should be careful counting on the rookie with his current status.
