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.

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.

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.

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.
Oct 20, 2024 11:37 AM EST
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.
Oct 6, 2024 11:53 AM EST
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.
Oct 4, 2024 7:05 PM EST
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.
Oct 4, 2024 3:36 PM EST
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.
Oct 3, 2024 2:55 PM EST
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.
Oct 2, 2024 7:30 PM EST
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.
Oct 1, 2024 6:32 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (undisclosed) is expected to practice in Week 5 as he gets closer to returning from the PUP list, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Beckham has been sidelined since early training camp due to an undisclosed issue, so even if he does practice this week, it could be a while longer before he plays in a game. It's been hard for the Dolphins to extract much production out of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) sidelined, so Beckham doesn't figure to have much fantasy value when he returns, either. He can be left on waivers in most leagues.
Sep 29, 2024 8:49 AM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he's seen some good progress from wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (undisclosed) and feels optimistic about Beckham when his practice window opens up, which would come after Week 4. Beckham has been dealing with an undisclosed injury that kept him out for all of training camp in the summer, and he opened the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list, so Week 5 against the division-rival New England Patriots would be the earliest he could make his Dolphins debut. The fact that OBJ has yet to even practice with the team once all year, though, suggests it will still be a while before he's ready for game action. The 31-year-old veteran looked washed up last year in Baltimore and is well off the fantasy radar in 12-team leagues in 2024, especially with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on Injured Reserve and out indefinitely.
Sep 24, 2024 3:22 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (undisclosed) had surgery over the offseason, according to David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. Miami reportedly knew about Beckham's injury and procedure before signing him in free agency. Although Beckham wanted to play Week 1, the Dolphins placed him on the PUP list, delaying his debut with the team until Week 5 at the earliest. Furones notes that the team was comfortable with Beckham's injury status and made their decision based on the "long play" essentially banking on the fact that Beckham will get healthy over the next month and make a big impact down the stretch. From a fantasy football perspective, the veteran will operate behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, making it difficult for him to rack up points.
Aug 28, 2024 9:39 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (undisclosed) was placed on the physically unable to perform list on Tuesday. The news means that Beckham will miss at least the season's first four games. Beckham was listed as Miami's No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Beckham signed with Miami earlier this offseason. He finished 2023 with 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns with the Baltimore Ravens. The injury gives rookie Malik Washington a chance at a bigger role to start the season. However, for now, expect Miami to funnel targets towards Hill and Waddle.
