No. 9 (offense) – WR Odell Beckham Jr.
After his departure from the Cleveland Browns, Odell Beckham Jr. joined the Los Angeles Rams was quickly incorporated into their passing game. Early on, Beckham served as the backside dig option for Matthew Stafford, in a role he was used for during his time in Cleveland, but now with a quarterback willing to make those throws.
As his time wore on with the Rams, Beckham found more ways to be utilized in the Los Angeles passing game, and his touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI is a prime example. Sean McVay aligned Beckham as the inside receiver in a trips formation and worked him vertically on a wheel route, getting him isolated against Mike Hilton for the game’s first touchdown.
While Beckham suffered an ACL injury in the Super Bowl, which might delay his availability for the start of the 2022 season, his time with the Rams showed his value to an NFL offense and that there are still more productive years ahead of him in the league.
Beckham saw a complete career resurgence after landing with the Rams midway through the 2021 season. Los Angeles needed him, too, as Robert Woods suffered a season-ending injury shortly after he joined the roster.
He showed just how good he can be when he’s a feature player in the offense, and assuming he has a good outlook on the ACL, someone will land a top receiver who is still in his prime.
