Odell Beckham Jr. Could See Increased Role Vs. Rams
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. could see a decent dose of targets if Tyreek Hill (wrist) is ruled out for Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Beckham could be a vocal point against his former team if this game turns into a shootout. The Rams defense ranks 23rd in fantasy points allowed per game to wide receivers and allow the 12th most yards per game. Despite Beckham's highest target count being three in any game this season, he could be considered a streaming option if you have any bye week or injury issues. If Hill plays, Beckham likely won't be a fantasy factor. Monitor the status of Hill leading up to Monday Night's contest.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hamstring, personal) is officially active for Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. He had been listed as questionable after missing practice on Friday, and it's unclear whether the hamstring injury or the personal matter was the reason for his designation heading into the weekend. Regardless, Beckham is going to suit up this week as the Dolphins' No. 3 receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. He's off the fantasy radar, especially now that Miami's passing attack is struggling with Tyler Huntley under center.
The Miami Dolphins have listed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hamstring) as questionable to play in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts due to a hamstring injury. Beckham missed all of training camp and the first four weeks of the 2024 regular season due to a knee injury that required offseason surgery, but now he's dealing with a hamstring ailment coming out of the team's bye week. In his 2024 debut with Miami in Week 5 against the division-rival New England Patriots, OBJ played just 11 offensive snaps and couldn't corral is only target in the passing game. The 31-year-old veteran is far from the fantasy radar as things currently stand, especially with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) still on Injured Reserve. No receiver in Miami can be trusted in fantasy outside of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle with QB Tyler Huntley running the offense.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) is officially active for Week 5 against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The Dolphins' decision to activate him from the PUP list on Saturday essentially confirmed that he would be able to suit up against New England. Going forward, Beckham will likely operate as Miami's No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. He could get on the fantasy radar once Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returns to the offense, but that won't happen before Week 8 at the earliest. Until then, Beckham should remain on fantasy waivers.
The Miami Dolphins are activating wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday, and he will make his 2024 debut in Week 5 on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots. Beckham practiced in full all week, his first week back after having a procedure on his knee in the offseason. "On a team that is very motivated to win a football game, I think he's eager to try to help do that," head coach Mike McDaniel said. The 31-year-old was listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. OBJ's return gives Miami more depth behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but Beckham won't be a realistic starting fantasy option, at least until/if quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is able to return later this year. For now, Beckham will compete for targets with the likes of Braxton Berrios and rookie Malik Washington.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) practiced in full all week but remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list and is questionable to make his 2024 debut in Week 5 against the division-rival New England Patriots. Meanwhile, receivers Malik Washington (quadriceps) and Braxton Berrios (ankle) were removed from the final injury report and will play on Sunday in Foxborough. We'll know by Saturday whether Beckham will come off the PUP list and be active for Sunday's contest. If the 31-year-old does make his debut with the Dolphins, head coach Mike McDaniel already hinted that OBJ will be on a pitch count. Beckham might be interesting as a bench stash in deeper leagues if quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) makes a return, but right now, Beckham can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues.
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Friday that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) could make his 2024 debut in Week 5 on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots with modified repetitions. The Dolphins will determine Beckham's status for the weekend after seeing him practice on Friday. OBJ has been practicing in full this week for the first time all year and "has looked great," according to receivers coach Wes Welker. Miami must activate Beckham off the Physically Unable to Perform list before he can make his debut with the team. The 31-year-old did very little with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023 and won't be a realistic starting fantasy option whenever returns behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, at least until quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is able to return. OBJ is strictly a deep-league stash candidate.
Odell Beckham Jr. Looks "Great" In Return To Practice
The Miami Dolphins opened wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s practice window this week, and he was listed as a full participant on Monday. The three-time Pro Bowler signed a one-year deal with Miami this offseason after posting 565 receiving yards and three touchdowns with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. Dolphins wide receiver coach Wes Welker said Beckham looked "great" in his first practice with the team this season, and his full practice designation suggests he will play on Sunday against the New England Patriots. However, until Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returns to action, it would be surprising if Beckham is on the fantasy football radar. Even when Tagovailoa does return, it could be tough for Beckham to earn targets alongside Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. The 2014 first-round pick has notched a 600-yard receiving season since 2019 and appears to be well beyond his prime. He could have late-season value if Hill or Waddle get banged up and Tagovailoa is under center, but for now, he is best left on the waiver wire. UPDATE: Beckham was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee), who is officially listed on the Week 5 injury report with a knee injury, practiced in full on Wednesday. Fellow wideouts Braxton Berrios (ankle) and Malik Washington (quadriceps) were listed as limited. Beckham's knee injury caused him to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin the 2024 season, but his 21-day practice window has now been opened and he could be activated and make his Dolphins debut as early as this Sunday versus the division-rival New England Patriots. Fantasy managers in most leagues can leave the 31-year-old veteran on the waiver wire given the fact that Miami's offense has taken a nosedive with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on Injured Reserve. When he's ready, OBJ will be battling for playing time in a reserve role behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. The three-time Pro Bowler (2014-16) had 35 catches for 565 yards and three TDs in 14 games for Baltimore in 2023.
Dolphins To Open Practice Window For Odell Beckham Jr.
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel announced that the team will open the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (undisclosed). Beckham was placed on the physically unable to perform list with an undisclosed injury following the preseason. He will now have 21 days to practice with the team and return to the field. If he does not return within the 21-day period, he will be ineligible to return for the rest of the season. Beckham has bounced around the league in search of Super Bowl rings in recent seasons. He most recently played for the Baltimore Ravens in 2023. He recorded 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns in the low-volume passing offense. The Dolphins offense is not devoid of playmakers but they currently have a quarterback problem. Starter Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has been out for the past two weeks and the Dolphins' offense has suffered as a result. Beckham is not the player he once was so his return may not move the needle for this offense without Tagovailoa behind center.
