Offensive Rookie of the Year

Odell Beckham Jr., WR, New York Giants

12 receptions, 143 yards, and three touchdowns. That was Beckham’s stat line on Sunday. For a rookie who missed most of training camp as well as the first four games of the season, Beckham has still managed to become the focal point of the entire offense.

Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Evans had a disappointing game on Sunday, picking up just 2 catches for 13 yards. He did manage to get another touchdown though, giving him 11 on the year. Evans is already an elite redzone target for the Buccaneers.

Kelvin Benjamin,WR, Carolina Panthers

Carolina has played their way back into the playoff picture recently and Benjamin has been right in the center of their resurgence. Benjamin had eight reception for 108 yards in the Panthers 19-17 win in Week 15 over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He now has 952 yards, and is almost certain to break 1000 receiving yards this season.

In the Hunt: Teddy Bridgewater (Min), Zack Martin (Dal), Taylor Lewan (Ten)
