Odell Beckham, Jr. will practice Wednesday, remains premier fantasy WR1
Odell Beckham had many concerned after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5, but it appears the worst is behind him. We break down the fantasy implications.

Beckham has been significantly limited in practice since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5's victory over the San Francisco 49ers, but not in games. Beckham played in all but six snaps over the past two games combined, and the fact that he is practicing so early in the week to prepare for Sunday suggests the worst of his injury is behind him. Beckham missed the first four games of his rookie season due to a hamstring ailment, but the concern surrounding his hamstring in 2015 is not as warranted as it used to be.
Fantasy impact: Beckham disappointed fantasy owners in Week 7 with a quiet performance, but that could be attributed more to a bizarre game script than his hamstring. The Cowboys had nearly double the Giants' time of possession, and Eli Manning completed just 13 passes the entire afternoon. If anything, fantasy owners should feel encouraged that nearly a third of those completions went Beckham's way.
Against a vulnerable New Orleans Saints' secondary, Beckham is a firm WR1 with top-five potential in leagues of all formats.
