Odell Beckham Jr.'s fantasy outlook The Browns do not have a high-volume passing attack (51.6 percent in 2020). They make up for it, though, with two key passing options in Beckham Jr. and Landry. They together accounted for 50.3 percent of the targets in 2019 (16 games) and 44.1 percent in 2020. (6 games). Given how many opportunities they will get this year, it's easy to see why people are so excited by their fantasy potential.
Odell Beckham Jr. has top-five fantasy receiver potential in every season except one (2016). He reached or surpassed 1,000 yards seven times and scored at least nine touchdowns three times. He is a must-start player in all leagues.
As for his injury history, he has never played 16 games in a season. In fact, he has played fewer than eight games just twice in his career (2015 & 2016). If you check out our list of important dates for Odell Beckham Jr., you will see that his injury history is very bad - he has had five different injuries between 2014 and 2020. However, last year was his first full season without any major injuries. He only missed two games because of a suspension and one because of a birth certificate issue. He is healthy and ready to go for training camp this week.
Odell Beckham Jr. has the talent and the health record to be a top-five fantasy receiver this year.
According to a recent ESPN poll, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is the NFL's fourth-best player in his position. The only players ranked higher are New York Giants star Victor Cruz, San Francisco 49ers star Michael Vick and Minnesota Vikings star Percy Harvin.
Beckham is having a phenomenal season. He has 1,257 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns. In addition, he has 542 yards and three scores on 63 carries. The 23-year-old already has more than 100 catches made this season and needs nine more to reach the 100-catch mark for the first time in his career.
He also has two interceptions this season. One of those picks was returned for a touchdown by the Browns against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. That makes Beckham one of only four players with at least 10 receptions in each game this year. The others are Cruz, Devin Hester (breakaway) of the Chicago Bears and Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals.
In conclusion, Odell Beckham Jr. is the best player in the NFL. He is coming off one of the greatest seasons by a receiver in league history and is only getting better as the season progresses. If you ask me, he is already the best receiver in the NFC East.
The Influence of Fantasy Landry didn't provide much in terms of yards, but he did lead the Browns in receptions and targets. In the third quarter, he scored on a four-yard catch. Landry, who is stuck in a run-first Cleveland offense, will be a dangerous fantasy choice in 2021.
Lineups expects Brees to complete the 2020 season with 4229 passing yards and 28 touchdowns as the 10th rated quarterback. Lineups predicts that Brees will get 264 fantasy points, or 16.5 points per game.
Brees is one of the most consistent quarterbacks in football and is a great choice this year and in future years too. He has almost never been ranked outside of the top five players at his position.
New Orleans is also expected to rely on its running game with Mark Ingram returning from injury. The team plans to use a combination of both runners during games situations requiring a change of pace. Saints head coach Sean Payton said after Monday's practice that he plans to split time between two-tight end sets and wide receiver formations during games this season. That means we could see both Chase Ford and Malachi Jones receive significant playing time during 2020 campaigns.
Brees has always been able to produce even when given less than ideal circumstances. In 2019, he completed 68 percent of his passes for 3793 yards, 38 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. He also ran for four scores. While many people might think that throwing more often instead of trying to avoid throwing interceptions would be a better strategy, Brees has always been able to find ways to still put up impressive numbers.
