2. Cleveland Browns WR Donovan Peoples-Jones
OBJ who? That what I said to the Bengals fans sitting around me in the stands following Donovan Peoples-Jones 60-yard touchdown reception.
The fan base has been sitting on their hands for half a season waiting to see Mayfield push the ball downfield like he did to DPJ, and with the play’s success, we could all release a collective sigh of relief.
This offense doesn’t need OBJ. It works just fine without him.
DPJ made the most memorable play of any of Cleveland’s receivers, but if you look at his recent track record, you could see his stock trending up.
DPJ missed a couple games with injury before this one, but he had four catches for 101 yards and two score against the Cardinals Oct. 17. The week before that, he had five grabs for 70 yards against the Chargers.
Long story short: DPJ doesn’t need to be a high volume guy to have an impact and he has enough speed to stretch the field for the home run.
