Best Fantasy Football Options for Odell Beckham Jr.
With the recent news of Michael Thomas being ruled out for the season, the New Orleans Saints must consider bringing in Odell Beckham Jr. The franchise is in a decent spot in the playoff race, but they need a top receiver on the roster. Marquez Callaway has been playing that role, but it doesn't seem to be working out.
This would be a great fit for Odell Beckham Jr., as Sean Payton has a history of utilizing his stars. Alvin Kamara is a fantasy football darling, and bringing in Beckham Jr. could rejuvenize his career. It's been a while since Beckham Jr. was an elite fantasy receiver, but he could return to former glory playing as the top pass option in New Orleans.
After the tragic news regarding Henry Ruggs III, the Las Vegas Raiders are in need of a wide receiver. Las Vegas is currently in first place of the AFC West and looks to be a solid playoff contender despite the issues surrounding the franchise off the field. Although Odell Beckham Jr. brings some drama himself, it's nothing that Derek Carr and the Raiders couldn't handle.
This would likely eat into Darren Waller's fantasy football production and could take away Hunter Renfrow's FLEX ability. However, Odell Beckham Jr. would be a fantastic addition to the Raiders, as he would likely become a major contributor late in the regular season. That means you could have an elite WR1 on your roster in the most important time of the fantasy football season, the playoffs.
The Green Bay Packers are dealing with their own drama right now, but that could be fixed if they somehow acquire Odell Beckham Jr. Davante Adams is a lone wolf running routes and has been a superstar wide receiver for several years now. This would be a great situation for Beckham Jr., as he wouldn't have the pressure of being the top target on a pass-first offense.
This would be an ideal landing spot for Odell Beckham Jr., as it would likely give fantasy football managers a reliable receiver on their team. Whether it's Aaron Rodgers or Jordan Love under center, Beckham Jr. should be able to succeed in Green Bay.
