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?
Flowers would’ve had a huge night but for the phantom hold call. I think he will be the top option moving forward without Andrews but OBJ is definitely relevant.
Dude everyone’s been hyping up Flowers all year. Even with Andrews out last night they still threw to the TE more than him. OBJ has been looking much more explosive from a fantasy perspective and Flowers had his first touchdown all year called back ln. He gets targets that aren’t even catchable half the time. I’ve lost all faith in Flowers. Next year he’ll be good. This year, trash
