Browns lose top WR Odell Beckham Jr for rest of season with Raiders up next

The Raiders are licking their wounds this Monday morning after getting 45 points put up on them at home against the Buccaneers. In the game, Bucs receivers Chris Godwin and Scott Miller led the way. Godwin caught all nine passes thrown his way for 88 yards and a touchdown while Miller caught six passes for 109 yards and a touchdown.

While the Raiders scramble for answers, they will start prepping for a Browns team that just lost their top receiver Odell Beckham Jr for the season.

Beckham caught 23 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns this season plus a rushing touchdown in the first five games.

His injury occurred in the first quarter of the Browns’ game against the Bengals on Sunday. It was the first target for Beckham in the game and it was intercepted.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield still has plenty of weapons at his disposal, however. With Beckham out, his replacement Rashard Higgins caught six passes for 110 yards and Mayfield threw for five touchdowns and nearly 300 yards to lead the Browns to their fifth win of the season.

The Raiders are currently ranked 31st in the NFL, allowing an average of nearly 33 points per game this season and are 28th in passing yards allowed.
