Best fantasy football pickups for Week 12: WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, Cleveland Browns

Rostered: 38.5%

Donovan Peoples-Jones is just so consistent. The third-year wide receiver has recorded at least four receptions and 50 receiving yards in seven straight games. On Sunday, he had five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown against the Buffalo Bills.

From a fantasy perspective, Peoples-Jones is not a home run hitter. He has not reached 20 fantasy points in a single game this season, but he is a safe, high-floor option with double-digit fantasy points in five consecutive games.

There are some long-term questions here. Peoples-Jones is thriving with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, but Brissett is only scheduled to make one more start. Since Week 4, Peoples-Jones is actually leading the Browns in receptions (33). Will that continue with a quarterback change looming?

In the short term, Peoples-Jones is a nice, high-floor streaming option. This week, he will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
