New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (hamstring) was limited in practice on Thursday. He's still likely to be doubtful for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals despite making some progress.

Beckham only did some work on the side at practice and he’s still not able to run at full speed due to his hamstring injury. The rookie has been dealing with his hamstring ailment before he was even drafted and had an aggravation at training camp. His injury is more of a week-to-week problem than a day-to-day one.
Fantasy impact: The Giants offense has been in complete disarray for all of training camp and adding Odell won't cure their problems. Plus, all of this time on the sidelines isn't going to help his chemistry with quarterback Eli Manning. Fantasy owners should be avoiding this situation, with Beckham arguably out of the top 80 receivers to own due to his limited upside. Meanwhile, Jerrel Jernigan will get snaps and is a desperation attempt in extremely deep leagues. Rueben Randle should also be on benches after a horrible Week 1.
