Odell Beckham Jr.

Let's do an exercise... How many targets per game do you anticipate Beckham getting this year? I'm going with an extremely low number and say he averages 6.5 targets per game. That sounds more than reasonable, right? Beckham had 7.0 targets per game during the 2020 season before getting hurt and that includes a three-target game against the Steelers. The Browns were also throwing the ball a lot less early in the year as Baker Mayfield was still getting grasp on Kevin Stefanski's playbook. If Beckham gets 6.5 targets per game, that'd put him on pace for 104 targets, which again, is what I'd consider low. There were just 32 receivers in the NFL who hit that number last year, with 24 of them (75 percent) finishing as top-24 receivers and just two finishing worse than WR38. You mean to tell me with Beckham's talent, he can't produce top-24 numbers? There's health risks for sure, but there's also top-five wide receiver upside.

Nate Ulrich of the Beacon Journal reports that Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. is at Browns minicamp and going through individual drills.

Fantasy Impact

This is fantastic news for Browns fans. Odell was doing individual drills with no brace, wrap or sleeve on his knee. Since coming to Cleveland, Odell has failed to live up to his play from his time on the Giants. Most of that has to do with injuries and poor QB play. While he is on a run-heavy team, he will be the first target for Baker Mayfield and could be a nice WR3 for fantasy teams come draft day.
