New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. did not practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. He didn't play in Week 1 and missed time in the preseason. Beckham is not expected to play against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Odell Beckham Jr. (hamstring) still not worth owning in standard fantasy leagues

The good news is that he did some work on the side, but he is not close to making his NFL debut. The Giants' passing attack looked totally lost during the Week 1 loss to the Lions, and Eli Manning had some major accuracy issues.
Considering how poorly Manning threw the ball, it's hard to be very bullish on the passing attack as a whole. Victor Cruz is no longer the stud he once was and second-year receiver Rueben Randle isn't as alluring, either. Obviously, Beckham is going to have a tough time getting his season off the ground with his lack of practice time.
Fantasy impact: A lot of rookie receivers had productive Week 1 outings. Players such as New Orleans Saints Brandin Cooks, Carolina Panthers Kelvin Benjamin and Arizona Cardinals John Brown all caught touchdowns in Week 1 and have more fantasy value than Beckham. He's not worth owning in almost any redraft league right now.
