Odell Beckham Jr. hasn't had the storybook career he was on a trajectory for dating back to his final few games with the New York Giants and essentially his entire tenure with the Cleveland Browns. Injuries have been the name of the game for Beckham, but it's worth noting he also hasn't exactly developed an excellent rapport with Baker Mayfield after developing one of the most underrated rapports in the NFL with Eli Manning. The good news is that Beckham joins a Browns offense on an upward trajectory and he's cheaper than ever in drafts so far. Someone will likely take a swing above his ADP -- will it be you?
We want to keep you up to date with everything surrounding his 2021 profile. Below, we'll break down Beckham's outlook, changes in his ADP, where he's going in mock drafts, training camp/preseason updates and more.
2021 Outlook
Once a megastar, Odell Beckham is now no more than a No. 3 Fantasy receiver who shouldn't be drafted before Round 7. Beckham is working his way back from yet another major injury and simply hasn't been the same player in Cleveland. Beckham has reach 100 yards just twice in 23 games with the Browns as his catch rate has fallen 10% since his days as a Giant and his targets per game have fallen more than 25%.
Even if Beckham were to regain every ounce of athleticism he once had, Kevin Stefanski's system and the Browns' crowded group of pass catchers would still limit the receiver's upside. At 29 years old, he could still have a few good years left, but you should look to trade him in Dynasty if he gets off to a fast start in 2021. (Heath Cummings)

Changes in ADP
*All ADP data is courtesy of FantasyFootballCalculator.com and for half-point PPR scoring.
Beckham's ADP hasn't moved all that much but it's not rising as some might have expected in large part due to Beckham not practicing much so far in camp and not playing in the preseason.
