Quiet day in Week 12 win Peoples-Jones brought in two of four targets for 16 yards and returned five punts for 75 yards in the Browns' 23-17 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact Peoples-Jones made a big impact on special teams, leaving the Browns in favorable field position after all five of his punt returns. On offense, he put together a very quiet day in what was slated to be Jacoby Brissett's final game as the starting quarterback prior to Deshaun Watson's expected Week 13 debut against the Texans. Peoples-Jones had developed good chemistry with Brissett throughout the season, leading to a career-high 42 receptions for the third-year receiver. Peoples-Jones is also now four yards short of tying the career-best 597 receiving yards he recorded last season, and he should be a beneficiary of Watson's ability to get the ball deep in coming weeks.

Continues rolling in Week 11 loss Peoples-Jones brought in five of six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 31-23 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Peoples-Jones checked in second in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for the Browns in another productive day in conjunction with Jacoby Brissett. The speedy wideout also recorded his first touchdown of the campaign when he brought in a two-yard scoring grab with 19 seconds remaining. Peoples-Jones has already generated a career-high 40 receptions and is just 21 yards short of his high-water mark of 597 yards while working with Brissett over his first nine games, and he'll have one more opportunity to do so in Week 12 versus the Buccaneers before Deshaun Watson (suspension) takes over in Week 13.

Team- and season-high yardage total Peoples-Jones secured five of nine targets for 99 yards in the Browns' 39-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Peoples-Jones paced the Browns in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while tying and recording a season high in the first and second categories, respectively. The third-year speedster has clearly become a trusted target of Jacoby Brissett, now having logged at least five looks from the veteran quarterback in five of the last six contests. With at least 71 receiving yards in five contests over that span as well, Peoples-Jones' fantasy stock is on a firm upswing going into a Week 11 road matchup against the Bills.

Season-high yardage total Monday Peoples-Jones caught all four of his targets for 81 yards in Monday's 32-13 win over the Bengals.

Impact Amari Cooper is the Browns' clear No. 1 wide receiver, but Peoples-Jones has been quietly effective across from Cooper, topping 70 receiving yards in four of the past five games. The biggest difference between the two comes in the red zone, as Cooper caught his fifth touchdown of the season Monday while Peoples-Jones has yet to find the end zone heading into Cleveland's Week 9 bye.

Productive showing in loss Peoples-Jones brought in all six targets for 71 yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.

Impact The speedster checked in second only to David Njoku (foot) in receptions and drew even with the tight end for second in receiving yards. Peoples-Jones' numbers also equaled his season highs in those categories, and with a 26-336 line through seven games, he's well on pace to exceed his career bests. His next opportunity to make an impact comes in a Week 8 home matchup against the divisional-rival Bengals in a Monday night Halloween clash.

Rolls up season-high yards Peoples-Jones caught four of five targets for a season-high 74 yards in Sunday's 38-15 loss to New England in Week 6.

Impact The Patriots did a good job at stopping the running game, forcing quarterback Jacoby Brissett to throw a season-high 45 times. That meant lots of targets beyond number one wideout Amari Cooper. This was the third consecutive game with at least 50 yards and fourth in six games for Peoples-Jones. The second-year wide receiver is still looking for his first score.

Seven targets in loss Peoples-Jones caught four of seven targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Chargers in Week 5.

Impact Peoples-Jones has yet to score a touchdown in 2022, but he's been heavily targeted through five weeks. Sunday was the third time with at least seven targets, and his 31 looks are second only to Amari Cooper (43). The Browns began the season as a run-dominant operation, but Week 5 was the first time Cleveland threw more (34) than it ran (31).

Leads team in targets Peoples-Jones hauled in five of nine targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Peoples-Jones led all Cleveland receivers with nine targets in a game during which top wideout Amari Cooper struggled to get open (one catch for nine yards). It was the 23-year-old's first notable fantasy performance since his 11-target game in Week 1. Peoples-Jones could see extra usage against the Chargers next Sunday if the Browns are forced to keep up with Justin Herbert and Los Angeles' potent offense.

Three targets in Week 3 Peoples-Jones caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 29-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 3.

Impact Peoples-Jones had a season-high 88% (63 of 72) share of the offensive snaps but was quiet for the second straight week. After an 11-target opening week, DPJ has just four targets over the last two weeks, as Amari Cooper has become the unquestioned leader among Cleveland wideouts.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Invisible in Week 2 Peoples-Jones did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

Impact After pacing the Browns with 11 targets in a Week 1 win over Carolina, Peoples-Jones was a forgotten man Sunday. Instead, Amari Cooper (10 targets) was the leader against New York. Cleveland's offense under quarterback Jacoby Brissett is designed to run more than throw, and seeing both wideouts with substantial targets in a game may be rare.
