I haven’t seen an OBJ post yet, but if this is a repeat of another recent thread, feel free to delete.

Over his last three weeks, OBJ has averaged a hair above 13.7 PPR points. He has averaged 5.33 targets and 3.33 catches with a pair of touchdowns.

Over that same timeframe, Rashod Bateman has fallen out of the mix a bit with only 6 catches over three weeks. OBJ has been the highest scoring receiver on the Ravens over that stretch and has only been outscored by Zay Flowers one time. He also has 3 more targets than Flowers in this span. Granted, OBJ’s stats were inflated by a long touchdown in one of these games, but I still think the fact he is capable of torching a defense is a positive sign for him.

The biggest concern for Beckham is his snap share, which has hovered around 33% in recent weeks. With the recent injury to Mark Andrews and a long week of rest, I think he will be even more involved going forward.

I think OBJ has sneaky upside and has looked pretty good since finding the end zone a few weeks ago. If he has been able to put up playable numbers with relatively low usage, then I think there’s a good chance he will keep this pace up when the Ravens have little choice but to look his way more on offense.

While the Ravens don’t have a great strength of schedule for WRs ROS, I still think OBJ has found his stride a bit and Lamar has grown to trust him more. I’m not saying he will be anything close to what he was in his prime, but in deep-ish leagues, he is possibly still unrostered and wouldn’t be a bad stash or desperation move. What do you all think?

    When are yall gonna learn lmao. Don’t play ravens WRs or RBs unless it’s purely for upside in a game where you need your players to overperform or it won’t matter anyway.

    There is ZERO way to predict how our offense will distribute the workload.
