Donovan Peoples-Jones
WR - Detroit Lions
2024 Outlook
The Detroit Lions are bringing back WR Donovan Peoples-Jones on a one-year deal worth up to $2 million.
Fantasy Impact
Peoples-Jones was traded to Detroit midway through the season in exchange for a 2025 sixth-rounder. In eight games with the Lions, the former Cleveland Brown caught five passes for 58 yards. He only played on 13% of the offensive snaps and 14% of special teams snaps. With a cheap one-year deal, Peoples-Jones should be viewed as nothing more than a depth piece with field-stretching capabilities as he operates behind an established trio of receivers.
Donovan Peoples-Jones caught both of his targets for 25 yards in the Lions' 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Peoples-Jones remained more of an afterthought as part of an aggressive Detroit passing attack, catching two or less passes in each of his six games with the Lions. The wideout finishes a disappointing season with just 13 receptions for 155 receiving yards while also failing to reach the end zone in 2023-24.
Donovan Peoples-Jones caught his lone target for 11 yards in the Lions' 30-24 Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Peoples-Jones continues an underwhelming stretch as part of the Detroit passing attack, seeing just one target for the fourth consecutive contest. The wideout should remain off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 17 contest against the Dallas Cowboys.
Donovan Peoples-Jones hauled in his lone target for five yards in the Lions' 42-17 Week 15 win over the Denver Broncos.
Fantasy Impact
Peoples-Jones has made minimal impact on the field since being acquired from the Cleveland Browns, seeing just one target in each of his four games on the active roster for the Lions. The veteran wideout is not a viable option in any format for fantasy managers currently, with a Week 16 road contest against the Minnesota Vikings up next.
Donovan Peoples-Jones hauled in his lone target for 17 yards in the Lions' 28-13 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
Peoples-Jones continues to see minimal involvement on offense since being acquired by the Lions, catching a pass for the first time in his for games with the club. The veteran wideout is not a viable option for fantasy managers currently, with a difficult Week 15 contest against the Denver Broncos ahead.
