The wide receiver will go on waivers this upcoming Monday, and can be claimed by 4 p.m. ET the day after. There are a myriad of teams that could be interested in adding Odell Beckham's talents to their offense. The 7-1 Packers, for example, not only meet OBJ's requirements of being a winning team with playoff experience, but also are in need of wide receivers due to nagging injuries. Additionally, the Las Vegas Raiders are currently 5-2 and could be shopping for a wide receiver after the release of Henry Ruggs III.

The three time Pro-Bowler and former Offensive Rookie of the Year could be a huge offensive weapon for teams as he looks to revitalize his career. In his first three seasons with the New York Giants, Beckham Jr. scored 10+ touchdowns while receiving over 1000 yards each year. Yet with constant injuries and various chemistry issues, his time with the Browns proved to be a forgettable period. If put into the right situation, the former star has the ability to dramatically help teams this postseason.
