Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 3
By Jon Dove
Odell Beckham Jr. has another down fantasy performance in Week 3
Most fantasy owners drafted Odell Beckham Jr. early enough that they are likely disappointed with his output so far. He had an excellent Week 1 performance but struggled mightily Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys.
The bigger worry here has to be the overall struggles of the New York Giants offensive attack. Their performance against the Cowboys was ugly.
New York spent this offseason re-working their offensive line and so far the results have been poor. This is a group that has already allowed eight sacks through two games. Eli Manning just doesn’t have enough time to properly scan the field.
This week the Giants face a tough Houston Texans defense that can bring some heavily pressure of their own. The Texans have also done a good job shutting down the opponent’s top receiver so far.

In Week 1, Phillip Dorsett led the New England Patriots receivers with seven catches for 66 yards. This past week, Corey Davis was the Tennessee Titans top receiver hauling in five passes for 55 yards.
Beckham Jr. is obviously a different animal than these two receivers, but the fact remains the Giants offense just hasn’t looked good so far this year. New York’s offensive line needs to step up if Beckham Jr. is going to have an elite fantasy season.
