Fantasy Football: 5 Must Start Players New York Giants vs Cleveland Browns

Odell Beckham Jr.

2016 has been an underwhelming season for Odell Beckham Jr. based on his insane standards. Beckham Jr. has quickly become one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, but the Giants finally have a supporting cast around him. He does not have to carry the load by himself, but we have seen that he is still more than capable of leading the offense.

Fantasy football wise Beckham Jr. has not lived up to the top-5 position that he was selected in many leagues. He has gotten in done on multiple occasions, but also has four games of under 50 receiving yards. He has rewarded his owners with the occasional explosive game, and if he is going to deliver another one today against the Browns is a good bet.

The Browns give up the 13th most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, but that number is a little misleading. They are so bad against the run many teams will just look to drain clock early on. They are also horrific against tight ends, so they are getting plenty of fantasy points as well. With Joe Haden playing average football the Browns do not have a shutdown corner so if a team wants they can feed a wide receiver for a huge game.

We have seen it this season on multiple accounts as four players have gone over 20 fantasy points and another three over 15. No.1 wide receivers usually have their way with the Browns secondary and Beckham Jr. should continue that trend.

Beckham Jr.’s streak of games under 100 yards should end this week with him putting up WR1 numbers against a porous Browns pass defense. The Browns have allowed five 100 yard receivers and 14 touchdowns to wide receivers.
