3. Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland Browns – Week 6

Odell Beckham Jr.’s production hasn’t matched his talent in recent seasons because of injuries. In terms of pure talent, Beckham is probably the best player on this list. He’s yet to deliver a season where he shows his fully abilities though. Cleveland Browns fans are hoping he will reach his peak with Baker Mayfield this season.

So far, Beckham hasn’t been able to match the production he put up as a rookie. In 2014, he averaged 7.6 receptions, 108.8 receiving yards, and one touchdown per game. He hasn’t gotten within striking distance of those numbers since.

Assuming he’s healthy, that could all change in a very talented Browns offense. I think the change of scenery and the pairing with Mayfield will pull more out of Beckham than what we’ve seen recently. The star receiver might finally get back to fulfilling the expectations set up for him after his rookie season.

Beckham also has a very talented teammate in Jarvis Landry. Landry’s game is fairly unique among star wide receivers. He’s not a great redzone threat and he doesn’t try to break big plays. Instead, the four-time Pro Bowler focuses on making catches for short gains.

In five seasons, Landry has 481 receptions and 5,014 receiving yards. That averages out to 10.4 yards per reception. Landry will pose his own problems for Griffin or whichever Seahawk ends up covering him.
