New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham survived his NFL debut in Week 5, and he apparently made it through without any setbacks to his hamstring injury. Beckham was not listed as a limited participant in practice on Tuesday for the first time in his short NFL career, according to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.
Odell Beckham not on Week 6 injury report; fantasy value on the rise
Odell Beckham isn’t on the injury report for the first time in his NFL career. We break down the fantasy implications.

Beckham has been dealing with a hamstring injury since training camp. He and the coaching staff have been frustrated with the injury, but he did finally make it on the field against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. He looked solid, seeing around half of the offensive snaps and catching four of the five passes thrown his way for 44 yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy Impact: Beckham not being on the injury report is a great sign. He has a full week to practice until Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that fields the No. 29 pass defense in the league. Beckham will be the third receiver on the field after Victor Cruz and Rueben Randle, but the Giants' base offense typically is a three-wide set.
He’s going to get playing time, and he might even push someone like Randle given his big-play potential. Beckham is on the radar as a flex option going forward.
