3. Vikings vs. Browns predictions: Odell Beckham Jr goes for 100 yards

Last week against the Bears, Odell Beckham Jr played in his first game back from last year’s ACL injury. In his return, Beckham looked pretty good. He was targeted nine times as brought in five catches for 77 yards. That was after not playing in a football in almost a year and still getting his legs under him. Expect him to be even more productive this week.

The Vikings haven’t been good at limiting receivers through their first three games. In Week 1 they allowed the Bengals rookie Ja’Marr Chase to go for 101 yards. In Week 2 it was Cardinals rookie Rondale Moore who went for 114 yards against Minnesota. Week 3, it was Seattle’s D.K. Metcalf who put up 107 yards.

It’s clear that they are having struggles keeping receivers under 100 yards. With Cleveland’s Jarvis Landry still on injured reserve, Beckham should see a lot of targets again. The Vikings struggling defense is the perfect opponent for Beckham to get back up to speed and record his first 100-yard day post ACL surgery.
