Beckham suffered a hamstring injury on the first day of camp and hasn’t practiced since then, missing two preseason games including the Hall of Fame Game. The injury has been bothering him since spring OTAs. The Giants are still bringing him along slowly, but he should be ready for the regular season if he doesn’t have any setbacks in his recovery. New York selected Beckham in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
Fantasy impact: Beckham isn't completely out of the woods, given the nagging nature of hamstring injuries. He missed a lot of training camp reps and could end up being more valuable in real life than in fantasy football. Beckham is worth a flier at his current 14th-round ADP, but he'll be battling for targets with Victor Cruz, Rueben Randle and Jerrel Jernigan.
