New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. is expected to be suspended one game for his actions on Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Odell Beckham, Jr. expected to be suspended, per report; fantasy owners need backup plans
The Giants could be without their top receiver on Sunday after his meltdown against the Carolina Panthers. We break down the fantasy implications.


Beckham lost control against the Carolina Panthers, drawing three personal foul penalties, but his worst act was when he needlessly launched himself toward the head of cornerback Josh Norman and led with the crown of his helmet. Though he was not ejected, the NFL's office felt Beckham should have been, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
Fantasy impact: It is looking likely that Beckham will face discipline from a league that has never shown aversion to making examples out of its players, especially if the issue of head injuries is a focal point in the matter. Fantasy owners will at least need to explore having backup options available for fantasy football’s most important week, but it is possible that Beckham could appeal any suspension he gets and delay the process.
Rueben Randle and Dwayne Harris would be in line for an uptick in targets in the event Beckham sits against the Minnesota Vikings, but neither would be anything more than a desperate WR3/flex option.
