Odell Beckham, WR, New York Giants

With Victor Cruz done for the season with a torn patellar tendon, Odell Beckham ($3,800) immediately becomes a needed option for Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Although New York got shut out last week in Philadelphia, that won’t happen against Dallas. The Cowboys defense is asking to be exposed, and this could be the game after an emotional win in Seattle.

In just two games, Beckham has a Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) of 9.16, which puts him right around the production level of Jeremy Maclin and Randall Cobb if extrapolated to six games. That would place him around 15th in the NFL

What makes Beckham even more enticing is that he’s finally healthy and that his workload last week (56 of 64 snaps, per NJ.com) means he has a good chance to see a lot of targets.

Beckham got behind the Eagles defense last week a couple of times, but Eli was unable to find him because of all the pressure from Philadelphia’s front seven. If Manning has time to throw, then Beckham could be a big play at a small price.
