Odell Beckham Jr. Clears Waivers, Officially A Free Agent
Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. cleared waivers on Monday and is now officially a free agent. Beckham and the Dolphins mutually agreed to part ways late last week, and now the 32-year-old veteran pass-catcher is free to sign with any team he pleases. He reportedly already had several potential landing spots in mind, and although Beckham probably won't have any kind of significant role with another team down the stretch in 2024, he could find a new home relatively quickly. We'd expect OBJ to try and sign with a contender to provide veteran receiving depth going into the postseason in several weeks. The former 12th overall pick by the New York Giants in 2014 out of LSU has been on the decline for several years now and had only nine catches on 18 targets for 55 yards and no touchdowns in nine games with Miami before being waived.
Odell Beckham Jr., Dolphins Mutually Agree On Release
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will be looking for a new team to help through the end of the season into the playoffs. The two sides mutually agreed to part ways, and Tom Pelissero reports that the release should become official on Monday. Pelissero pointed out that two of his former teams, the Rams and Ravens, are in playoff contention, but there haven't been any official reports of interested parties. Beckham posted 18 targets, nine receptions, and 55 yards with no touchdowns in nine appearances for Miami.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (personal) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday due to personal reasons. It remains to be seen whether Beckham is actually in danger of missing the Week 15 game against the Houston Texans, but he still has another day to return to the team and rejoin practice. Either way, the 32-year-old hasn't been anywhere close to being on the fantasy radar in his first year with the Dolphins while operating as a distant No. 4 target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa behind receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and tight end Jonnu Smith. OBJ caught his only target for a one-yard gain in last week's overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets, and he has just nine catches all year for 55 yards and no TDs on 18 targets. Malik Washington would see more snaps on Sunday if Beckham doesn't play.
Odell Beckham Jr. Misses Practice For Personal Reasons
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (personal) was not at practice on Wednesday due to personal reasons. It's unclear why Beckham wasn't with the rest of the team for the first practice of the week as the team prepares for Week 15 versus the Houston Texans, but as long as he returns in the next two days, he should be active this weekend in Houston. OBJ has been almost non-existent in the Dolphins' offense this year in his first year in Miami. Through nine games played, he's secured nine of his 18 targets for 55 yards and no touchdowns. He was targeted just once in last week's overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets and caught it for a one-yard gain. Beckham hasn't reached 20 receiving yards in a single game in 2024 and remains well off the fantasy radar. If he isn't available to play this week, Malik Washington would settle into the WR3 for Miami.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. had one target, one catch, and one receiving yard during Sunday's Week 14 win over the New York Jets. The veteran has been a minimal contributor ever since making his Dolphins debut in Week 5, amassing just nine catches for 55 yards along the way. He also played a season-low 14 percent of the snaps on Sunday, emphasizing that he has lost the No. 3 receiver role to Malik Washington and is now fourth on the depth chart. Beckham should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. should not be in fantasy lineups in Week 12 when he faces the New England Patriots at home. The LSU product has seen his snap totals rise over the previous three weeks, and his involvement in Miami's pass attack has correlated. Still, he's yet to clear 17 receiving yards or 4.5 fantasy points in any outing. Moreover, tight end Jonnu Smith has evolved into a reliable second option in the Dolphins offense behind speedster Tyreek Hill, and running back De'Von Achane remains heavily involved in the team's passing game. Despite an excellent matchup against a porous Patriots pass defense, Beckham Jr. will be tough to trust as little more than a lowly WR7. The former fantasy stalwart ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR77 in Week 12's rankings.
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.
