Household Product
Odell Beckham Jr. has undoubtedly become a household name in just his second season out of LSU. Some have already labeled him as the greatest receiver in NFL history. When brakes are applied, it is imperative that the superstar New York Giant still has many accomplishments to achieve.
So far, Beckham has gained 1,320 receiving yards and scored twelve touchdowns through thirteen games, including six consecutive games with at least 100 yards. He finished with seven catches, 166 yards and two touchdown scores with the game-winning score coming on an 84-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Miami Dolphins (5-8) in Sun Life Stadium on Monday night (31-24).
Perhaps OBJ could be one of the greatest eventually. Until then, veteran cornerback Josh Norman and the Carolina Panthers (13-0) will take a crack at the household product that cannot be found under the kitchen sink.
As the Fantasy playoffs continue, be mindful that studs can turn into duds and un-heard-of players can get hot at crucial points. Week 15 sleepers..

Mr. Robinson
Jaguars are said to run in excess of 64 miles per hour. They usually run to chase down prey or escape a larger threat.
One Jaguar in particular has been clocked at top speeds of around 20 miles per hour and is known to be a lethal threat to defensive secondary units.
Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8) star receiver Allen Robinson prowled the Tennessee Titans (3-9) defensive backfield as if he was lurking through the Amazon Basin. The second-year Penn State product pulled in ten catches for 153 yards and three touchdown scores in a losing effort Sunday afternoon in Nashville.
The 6' 3" receiver has scored a touchdown in all but four games this season (13 games). The twenty-two year-old has also accumulated at least 110 receiving yards in three of the last five games.
To assume he's on fire would be absurd. More accurately, he's just Allen Robinson. Spot on.
Byes: none

Robbing the Cradle
Doug Baldwin torched the Steelers young and often unaware secondary on Sunday afternoon. The safeties were pointing at the cornerbacks, while the cornerbacks point at the referees. Baldwin points to the scoreboard, which read Seahawks 39 Visitors 30 at the game's end.
The 27-year-old native of Gulf Breeze, Florida hauled in six catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns as the Seattle Seahawks (6-5) proved to be too much for the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5).
He's still just 'alright'.
The Stanford University alumnus has 50 catches for 684 yards and 6 touchdowns through eleven games, while sporting a 5 foot 10, 189 pound frame. Baldwin has at least six catches and has averaged 113 yards per game since the Seahawks bye in week nine. They visit Minnesota to take on the 8-3 Vikings this Sunday afternoon. Will he survive?
