Antonio Callaway (WR, CLE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: With Josh Gordon gone and Baker Mayfield installed as the new quarterback, opportunities exist for rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway to make an impact with the Cleveland Browns.

Callaway, who ranks in the 92nd percentile of wide receivers in 40-yard dash speed, was on the field for 70 percent of Cleveland's offensive plays in Week 4, turning nine targets into a three-catch, 54-yard night. While it wasn't the most productive game for the rookie, Callaway has shown off his top-end speed at times already this season, including on a long touchdown in Week 2, and his 19 targets in the past two games suggests that he should be a major part of the Browns offense moving forward. His stock will only rise as he becomes more comfortable running routes and quarterback Baker Mayfield becomes more comfortable throwing against NFL defenses.

Though Cleveland has a difficult Week 5 matchup against a Ravens team that shut down the Steelers offense in the second half in Week 4, Callaway's big-play ability and target share make him a viable flex option in deeper leagues. Over the long run, Callaway has the potential to provide the Browns with their own version of Will Fuller, though likely without the same level of consistency that Fuller has shown. While so much depends on Mayfield's development, grabbing Callaway now can pay dividends in the future.
