Breshad Perriman Week 2 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2020, 9:10am EDT

After dealing with a knee injury throughout training camp, Perriman was active in Week 1 and played all 56 snaps. It's fair to say he's doing okay. The results weren't what anyone would want, as he caught 3-of-5 targets for just 17 yards. The matchup against the Bills was brutal, so you don't want to hold it against him too much, but the 49ers were not a defense to target with wide receivers for much of 2019. Since the start of last year, there have been 10 receivers who've totaled more than 15 PPR points. Every single one of them saw at least seven targets, including DeAndre Hopkins last week. Knowing that Jamison Crowder's matchup is a bit tougher this week, we could see Perriman get a few more targets, though it's worth noting that the big play is unlikely to happen, as the 49ers allowed just five pass plays of 40-plus yards all of last season, which ranked second, only to the Bills. Perriman should be considered a WR5 with how many snaps he's playing and the one-play upside he presents, but the matchups out of the gate have been brutal. *Update* The 49ers might be missing both starting cornerbacks for this game, which would certainly make Perriman a better dart throw in tournaments.
