Odell Beckham Jr., WR, New York Giants
7 Receptions, 166 Yards, 9 Targets, 2 Touchdowns
NEP: +15.23
We're already running out of superlatives to describe Odell Beckham Jr.'s transcendent play only 25 games into his career. Beckham Jr. has more receptions and receiving yards than any other player in NFL history within their first 25 games.
Against the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, Beckham caught 7 of 9 targets for 166 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. He was able to extend his 100-yard game streak to six games now, while scoring 8 touchdowns over that time span.
OBJ's receiving skills were once again shown last night, as he hauled in a beautiful toe dragging six-yard touchdown. He was also inexplicably left wide open on an 84-yard touchdown strike, as the Miami defense somehow left him roaming deep behind their secondary.
Adding +15.23 to his NEP this week, Odell Beckham Jr. now leads all receivers in Reception NEP and Target NEP on the season. He led all receivers this week with 35.6 PPR fantasy points this week and has now climbed into the top-three on the season leapfrogging DeAndre Hopkins.
Among the other top performances by receivers this week, Seattle's duo of Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett stood out. Baldwin has been on a tear since Jimmy Graham's Week 12 injury, catching 17 passes for 321 yards and 8 touchdowns in his last three games. A.J. Green finished with 132 receiving yards and a touchdown and has now climbed up to second in Target NEP. Speaking of targets, Ted Ginn Jr. was able to make the most of his this week, putting up 120 receiving yards and 2 scores on just 3 targets. Brandon Marshall continues his productive 2015 campaign, adding +10.86 to his NEP this week and rounding out this week's top wide receiver performances.
