He got a knee to his lower back and had to go to the locker room. It's reported as a bruise, but you're right he didn't look as explosive after that.

In my Rookie of the Year tracking column, I've had Watkins and Benjamin trading places in the top two spots recently. It runs every other week, if I was writing it this week, I'd have Evans and Beckham in the two top spots, they have a lot of momentum and have been on fire lately. Evans last week became the youngest WR to have 200 yards receiving in a game, and the first rookie with at least 7 receptions, 100 yards (actually 120+ in his case) and a TD in three consecutive games. That streak ended Sunday, though he had another TD. Still five games to go, and time for Watkins and Benjamin to reassert themselves. There are also talented WRs like Cooks and Robinson done for the year already, on IR.This is without a doubt a historically good rookie WR class.

you have to watch Mayock's piece on him on NFL films where he breaks down OBD vs. Sherman play by play....he sets up Sherman (one of the best there is) and then continues to keep him guessing all game. Quite the chess game.

Someone mentioned Michael Jordan earlier (maybe in another thread). OBJ is Michael Jordan on the football field. His body control is inhuman.

If Eli had hit him for the wide open 75 yard TD and NY wins the game ESPN would have made the Jordan comparison front page

Rumors all over twitter last night that she was impregnated as soon as he made "the catch."

I hear he's been running some talks on his off days between the North and South Koreans and they're very close to reaching an agreement making it one unified country. I know he's still a rookie but that's impressive.

I was at a poker game shortly after the catch/Sunday night, and 3 people I play fantasy with were sitting there.
One guy who's opinion I respect, one guy thats "semi-smart" and the other is a complete joker.
2 of the three knew Beckham, and "the joker" just vaguely knew him. (but he did know he was starting to really take off in the weeks prior)
So I openly asked the three of them, if they were drafting today, exactly where would you take OBJ? (standard redraft)
I said I would consider taking him in late round 3, depending on roster construction. Realize we play in start 3 WR leagues also.
The other guy I respect said "that sounds about right for me, round 3/round 4".
The "semi-smart" one said he didn't know exactly, but would certainly take him in round 6.
The joker said he would consider him late round 1 early round 2. He then said "well thats where people were taking Brandon Marshall/AJ Green, and a few others, and look at how they have been doing".
Sure we are at a point where his hype value may be at his highest ever, but you have to admit its interesting.
If he stays healthy, and puts up WR1 numbers the rest of the year, I wouldn't be surprised if people next year were talking about taking him in round 2.
(not saying thats where I would be thinking of taking him, I just wouldn't be shocked)

ODB will probably get the Nobel Peace Prize any day now.
The NFL Network has formally changed its name to the ODB Network.

He probably will be. Physicians that have chimed in on the Cruz injury say that most don't completely recover from the injury he has. Cruz's career probably isn't done, but his days as being the Giants #1 WR most likely are. Giants might be where they could get Amari Cooper in the draft. It wouldn't be a shock if they take him because even if Cruz comes back as good as before, all 3 wrs can be on the field at the same time. Giants like 3 WR sets and prefer Cruz in the slot.

As a Giant fan, I would be furious if they took Amari Cooper. This team has screaming needs on both lines. As good as Beckham has been, I still wonder if they might have been better off if they took Aaron Donald.

I agree, I would not be happy about Cooper. I also wanted them to take Donald over Beckham and wish they did up until a few weeks ago when I saw just how good Beckham is. At this point, if your team landed Watkins, Evans or Beckham, you have to be thankful to have that guy for the next several years no matter who they passed up to get them. Yes, they need a DT like Donald, but they also needed a WR and they went out and grabbed an elite WR when he was there. It's better to grab an elite guy at a position even if it's not your greatest need. Hopefully this year a very good DT or OT falls to them in the 1st.

No ODB owners out there? I wish I still had my virginity, because I would probably give it up to him.

Unreal 1st half. Too bad Titans couldn't have at leats made this somewhat competitive. Zero action for him in the 2nd half.

Threw him in last minute in place of Green. Kind of regret it now but it could have been worse.

I've watched the past few weeks because I get all the Giants games here in CT. They've been doing that for three or four weeks now. It's like everyone knows that double coverage was coming when Cruz went down. I'm disgusted my season ends tonight because ODB is THE receiver, THE big-time flex that just scares the ever-living #### out of whoever is facing you that week.
Damn.
Damn.
But back to the football point. They've been running this guy all over, in motion, in the backfield, lined up right, lined up left, lined up slot. You name it, they've done it for weeks now.

Fwiw Beckham is 5th in PPR WR scoring since week 5. (His first game as a pro). He's 2nd in WR scoring since week 7. An amazing start to a career.
Take his first 9 games and project them over 16?
105/1473/10

I did the opposite. I sat Gordon for Beckham thinking Davis would shadow Gordon. Phew, thank god I wasn't following the actives/inactives for the Colts!
