Odell Beckham Jr was one of the best players in the NFL last season in just 12 games. Beckham was one of the best fantasy football players. Beckham was drafted late or not drafted at all in most standard non dynasty leagues. Obviously if you had Beckham you had an MVP candidate on your team. He was an absolute fantasy monster. He was a monster in both PPR and standard leagues. Obviously any receiver is more valuable in PPR leagues because they receive a point for every catch. Despite missing four games Beckham was still more valuable than some of the big name receivers drafted ahead of him. Beckham caught 91 passes and 12 of them went for touchdowns. Beckham’s season was put in the same category as Randy Moss’s rookie season. Many people regard that season as the best ever by a rookie. Beckham is a cornerstone for keeper and dynasty leagues.

Odell Beckham had 10 or more catches four times. He had 100 yards or more seven times. He was arguably the best receiver in football from his third game on. He also had four multiple touchdown games. Beckham is a solid number one receiver option in fantasy for a few reasons. His team has plenty of weapons so teams can not just focus on Beckham. Beckham also plays with Eli Manning who consistently passes and loves throwing Beckham.

Odell Beckham should go pretty early in all fantasy formats this season. Beckham averaged 108.8 yards per game. However some veteran guys like Antonio Brown and Demaryius Thomas may still go ahead of him. Beckham is only a second year receiver but i don’t expect him to regress. I expect him to build on his stats and his game overall. So here is the top 15 receivers in my early fantasy rankings. Where does the Giants star receiver rank?
