New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is active against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. He'll make his debut this week after missing the first four games of the season.
Odell Beckham is active for the Giants, remains too risky for fantasy

It hasn’t been great news on Beckham so far. Last month, the team stated that they aren’t expecting much out of their first-round rookie. Plus, there has been a scheme overhaul to a West Coast system, which took the Giants close to two months to figure out. Beckham is more of a field stretcher and his inexperience means he’s probably not a precise route runner.
On the up side, this is an amazing matchup. The Falcons "defense" has been torched all season and last week rookie Teddy Bridgewater carved them up like another type of bird.
Fantasy impact: It's always fun to have first-round receivers on your fantasy roster, but not this one. Rueben Randle is coming around and tight end Larry Donnell has been a massive stud to date. Beckham is not worth owning in 12-team leagues.
