Odell Beckahm Jr. active and needs to be in fantasy lineups Monday night
Odell Beckahm’s hamstring injury won’t keep him out of Monday night’s game. We break down the fantasy implications.

Beckham suffered a hamstring injury in last week’s win over the San Francisco 49ers, although he was able to come back in the game to serve as a decoy on the final, game-winning drive. He has a long history of hamstring ailments that cost him four games last season, but he’s not expected to have any setbacks this time. The second-year receiver has 31 catches for 428 yards and three touchdowns through five games this season.
Fantasy impact: There’s always the risk of Beckham aggravating his hamstring, but in a crucial divisional bout, Eli Manning needs him as much as fantasy owners do. Look for him to have a big game against the Eagles’ 25th-ranked pass defense.
This isn’t a tough decision for fantasy owners. OBJ is active, so you must have him in your lineup.
