Odell Beckham Jr. Week 4 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Tue, Sep 29th 2020, 9:46am EDT

I'm not sure what many are expecting out of Beckham while Mayfield has thrown the ball just 46 times over the last two weeks. That's a mark that quarterbacks hit in one game. Think about it: If we combined those games and got the 46 attempts from Mayfield and 12 targets from Beckham, we'd be excited, especially considering they amounted to 8/133/1. But that's the thing. This offense doesn't want to throw the ball very much, which takes away appeal in games the Browns win. They're big underdogs here, which should amount to more pass attempts, as well as more appeal for someone like Beckham. On top of that, the Cowboys just sent their best cornerback (Chidobe Awuzie) to the IR before last week's game. That leaves them starting rookie Trevon Diggs and veteran Daryl Worley at cornerback. That duo has combined to allow 20-of-28 passing for 286 yards and two touchdowns through three games. It would have been three touchdowns if not for Diggs knocking the ball out of D.K. Metcalf's hand at the goal-line. There is no secondary in the league who's allowing more fantasy points per target (2.28) than the Cowboys. You should be willing to start Beckham this week as a low-end WR1 who could explode if the Browns throw the ball more than 35 times.
