Per NJ.com's Jordan Raanan, Beckham said his hamstring has "gotten better," despite rarely being found in the passing game in Week 7's victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Beckham finished with four catches for 35 yards, each total his lowest of the season. Despite that, Beckham played in all but four snaps on Sunday, and played in all but two in the game preceding it.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners won't be pleased with Beckham's dud from Sunday, but there isn't cause for any alarm regarding one of the league's best receivers. The trajectory for Beckham continues to point upward, and that remains the case for Week 8 when he faces a vulnerable New Orleans Saints secondary.
Beckham's dropoff for Week 7 can be attributed more to an odd game script in which Eli Manning completed just 13 passes and the Cowboys had nearly twice the time of possession the Giants did. Fantasy owners can consider him a top-five wide receiver for Week 8, as the script ought to work more in Beckham's favor than it did on Sunday.
