With eight catches for 148 yards and two touchdowns in the Giants' 37-27 win at St. Louis, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been nominated for another Pepsi Rookie of the Week Award.
After winning last week and in Week 12, Beckham is looking to become the second three-time winner this season. Bills wide receiver Sammy Watkins is the only one to do so in 2014, winning in Weeks 2, 7, and 8. He and Beckham will surely be on the short list when it comes time for the Rookie of the Year award, which will be presented at the Fourth Annual NFL Honors awards show on Jan. 31, the night before Super Bowl XLIX.
But in the meantime, fans can vote for Beckham, whose 79 receptions are the most in NFL history for a player in his first 11 career games, for the Week 16 award through Friday at 3 p.m. ET. The winner will be announced later that day on NFL Total Access on NFL Network and on NFL.com.
Here is a look at this week's nominees:
