4 Baltimore Ravens who may play less in the AFC Championship
1. Will we see more Odell Beckham in the AFC Championship?
Odell Beckham only played 41% of the offensive snaps all season. He missed a couple of games due to injury, but the Ravens also kept him on a snap count all year. The thought was that Beckham would stay healthy through the regular season, and once the playoffs came, he would turn it on.
He got through the regular season healthy, just according to plan. However, he was not making noise in the playoffs. Beckham had one catch for 12 yards but only played 29% of the snaps, his lowest rate of the season.
The Ravens opted to play both Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor over him. Was Beckham hurt? Is it performance-related? What happened? Will we see the same type of split this week, or will we finally get to see Beckham with the chance to turn it on? If this continues, he is starting to look less worthy from an on-the-field standpoint.
