4. Sammy Watkins, Baltimore Ravens

Sammy Watkins has been a consistent contributor for the Ravens through two weeks, catching eight-of-15 targets for 140 yards. The 15 targets and high yardage are especially encouraging, given Lamar Jackson’s iffy down-field game.

Watkins should again remain a steady play this week against the Detroit Lions who just got destroyed on all cylinders by the Green Bay Packers. He’s a FLEX play and a safe floor DFS pick.

3. Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland Browns

He’s finally back. Odell Beckham Jr. has no injury designation and will return to football action in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears. He will immediately slot in to a high volume role with fellow receiver Jarvis Landry out with an injury.

Beckham Jr. has always been a threat every time he’s on the field, and with this much time off, he’s surely got a chip on his shoulder. I expect OBJ to come out of the gates and re-establish himself as the Browns’ WR1. Start him where you can.
