Fantasy Football Week 4: Waiver Wire Pickups
By Dan Thomas
2. Terrelle Pryor, WR — Cleveland Browns (23% Owned)
Mr. Do It All basically did it all on Sunday for the Browns in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins. Pryror threw the ball (3/5, 35 yards), ran the ball (4 carries, 21 yards, 1 TD) and caught the ball (8 receptions, 144 yards).
The Browns are so starved for playmakers that I truly believe we will see Pyror doing a little bit of everything on most weeks. Heading into Week 4 the Browns will once again be without their first-string quarterback, second-string QB, 2015 1st-round pick Corey Coleman and Josh Gordon.
When Josh Gordon does come back form his four-game suspension will Pryor see a few less targets? Maybe. When Josh McCown gets healthy will he return to the starting lineup and Pryor may not see as many snaps at quarterback? Maybe.
However, this is speculation. What we do know is what what we saw on Sunday and that is Pryor is a dangerous weapon. The Browns almost won (and should have won) in Week 3 and Pryor was the main reason why.
If the Browns are smart they will continue to find ways to get Pryor the ball no matter what and just let him be a playmaker.
Wait, did I just say, “if the Browns are smart?”.
Ugh I’m not sure how much trust I have in that statement. Oh well, I’m taking the chance anyways and trying to pick up Pryor this week off of waivers and you should too.
