Cleveland Browns: 5 players who need a great Week 1 game vs Titans

2. OBJ

Who else is getting a little worried about Odell Beckham Jr.? Apparently he’s had a hip problem that’s prohibited him from going full speed.

Well, it’s time for OBJ to take the bubble wrap off and contribute. He’s been given the benefit of the doubt and now the games count.

To add to the confusion, the Browns didn’t list him on the injury report, while Beckham told Cleveland.com that he’s like an extremely fast car whose alignment is off.

"“It’s like an extremely fast car with the alignment off,” Beckham said, “The car can still go, but it’s dangerous.”"

Uh…great.

This is why Beckham needs a great game. We’re just getting to know him as a week-to-week player. By showing up and showing out, OBJ and can ease everyone’s concerns not just for one week, but for the upcoming season as a whole.

And by stating he needs a great game, OBJ doesn’t need to make the Hall of Fame in this game. He doesn’t need 10 receptions for 200 yards and three touchdowns. Rather, he’s just got to make plays that put the Browns in position to win.

He can stretch the field and draw enough attention offensively to open up opportunities for his teammates.

The Browns are talented enough offensively where OBJ doesn’t need to do it all.
