Odell Beckham Jr.

The last time we saw Beckham Jr., he evoked thoughts of yesteryear when Beckham Jr. took the league by storm. While Beckham Jr. was on his way to possibly a stout Super Bowl before injury struck again, we're likely never seeing prime Beckham Jr. again. During his final seven regular season games with the Rams, Beckham Jr. saw a 15.1% target share, 20% target per route run rate, and produced 1.25 yards per route run. His five receiving touchdowns in this span help gloss over the fact that he was a mediocre receiver per efficiency numbers in that stretch. Beckham can continue to be a red zone weapon assuming full health in Baltimore with Lamar Jackson, but the days of valuing him as anything more than a WR4/5 are over. I'll happily draft Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers over Beckham, and they will go behind Beckham in many draft rooms. Beckham will need outlier touchdown production to surpass my expectations for him in 2023.

Odell Beckham Jr. and the Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $18 million, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

Fantasy Impact

Beckham had recently met with the Jets, but had reportedly received an offer from the Ravens prior to that meeting. The Ravens have struggled over the last few seasons with depth at wide receiver. There is still a major question mark when it comes to who will be the quarterback in Baltimore next season, which makes it hard to predict how OBJ will fair next season. Beckham has not played since suffering a torn ACL in the Rams’ Super Bowl win in 2022.
