Scouting report

NYG WR Odell Beckham - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Washington
Odell Beckham Jr. (OBJ) only had 86 yards against the Saints last week, but he was targeted a team-high 11 times, catching eight passes on the day. That’s a bit of a down day for OBJ, considering what is expected of him week-to-week, but he remains an elite option in all fantasy leagues, and is the number one target in New York.

Expect elite numbers this week against Washington. While he will line up against Josh Norman at times, he should be moved around the field enough to be valuable. Additionally, while last year’s matchup with Norman resulted in a suspension for OBJ due to some after-the-play chirpiness, he still managed six catches for 76 yards and a touchdown against the top CB. OBJ should be active in all leagues every week.

NYG WR Odell Beckham - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. New Orleans

Odell Beckham Jr. (OBJ) had a quiet opening to the season by his standards, catching four passes for 73 yards. He was targeted a team-high eight times though and is still an elite fantasy WR and a must-start every week.

Sometimes the sky opens up and everything shines down on a fantasy player. That could be the case this week for OBJ, who gets to face a horrible Saints defense this week. When he played against them last season, he had eight catches for 130 yards and three touchdowns. While it’s hard to expect that kind of production again this week, owners should still expect a big game. He’s the top WR on our board this week and should never be on your bench.

NYG WR Odell Beckham - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Dallas
Odell Beckham Jr. (OBJ) was fifth in the league with 1,450 receiving yards last year, and he was also tied for fourth in the league with 13 touchdown catches. OBJ has established himself as an elite fantasy WR and should be considered a WR1 option and a must start every week.

Dallas was a top-5 defense in both yards and touchdowns allowed to opposing passers last year, but they enter this season with suspensions and injuries along the front seven, and the loss of pass-rusher Greg Hardy over the offseason will affect how much pressure they can put on opposing teams. OBJ’s two worst games last year came against Dallas, but with the off-season changes and his elite status, he should still be active in all leagues, regardless of the matchup.

NYG WR Odell Beckham - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Odell Beckham Jr. enters this season healthy and with two years of experience under his belt. Last season, he finished in the top-5 in both yards and touchdowns and was eighth in the league with 96 receptions. He has a nose for the end zone, scoring 25 touchdowns over the past two seasons (more than any other player in the league). The Giants passing game leans heavily upon him and he is a perfect fit for their West Coast offense, which emphasizes tough running and the ability to make plays after the catch. OBJ should be entering his prime at age 23 and is an elite player at his position.

Fantasy Downside
He missed the first four games of his rookie season, though he didn’t miss any time with injuries last year. He was suspended for Week 16 for his conduct while being covered by former Panthers cornerback Josh Norman, which means he could be a candidate for another suspension if he doesn’t learn to keep his cool. He’ll also face Norman, now in Washington, twice this season. OBJ honestly doesn’t have much downside though, as he’s been a premier fantasy receiver since entering the starting lineup.

2016 Bottom Line
Beckham will likely be one of the first players taken in all fantasy leagues and he should be considered one of the safest options in the draft. His consistent production, the offense he plays in, and the stability the Giants have at the quarterback position all point to continued success for OBJ. He’s an elite fantasy option and is exactly the kind of player to target with a top-5 pick in the draft.

NYG WR Odell Beckham - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Philadelphia

Odell Beckham Jr. was suspended last week, but managed to put up a touchdown against Josh Norman in Week 15. He’ll be back and ready to go against the Eagles this week. Beckham has been phenomenal this season. Even after missing a game last week, he still ranks fourth in the NFL in receiving yardage, and is tied for third in the league with 13 receiving touchdowns.

Beckham should explode this week as he shakes off last week’s suspension. Only the Saints have given up more touchdown passes to opposing teams than the Eagles have this year, and they were just torched by Kirk Cousins last week for four touchdown passes. Beckham has been an elite option all year and should be active in all leagues as a WR1.

NYG WR Odell Beckham - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Minnesota
Odell Beckham Jr. managed to score a touchdown and put up six catches and 76 yards against the Panthers last week, but he also managed to get himself suspended after some after-the-play activity with Panther corner Josh Norman. He’ll appeal, but this is an easy choice for fantasy owners, even against a pretty solid Minnesota pass defense. If Beckham is active, he’s a must start every week as a WR1 in all formats. If he’s suspended, obviously get him out of your lineup.

NYG WR Odell Beckham - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Carolina

Odell Beckham Jr. had another fantastic game last week against the Dolphins. He caught seven of the nine passes thrown his way, gaining 166 yards and scoring two touchdowns as the Giants got a much needed victory to stay alive in the NFC East race. Beckham has been one of the bets at his position this season, and he now has 12 touchdowns, tied for the league lead.

This week, Beckham will have a much harder time against the Panthers 5th ranked pass defense and top corner Josh Norman. Still, Beckham is really the only game in town in the Giants’ offense, and he should continue to see a high percentage of looks and targets. That should translate into a productive fantasy outing despite the bad matchup, and Beckham should be active in all leagues.
