Update: OBJ was injured late in Sunday’s game against the Chargers when he went up for a catch and came down hard on his ankle, the same one he injured in the preseason. He left the game and has been ruled out for the remainder of it.
Odell Beckham Jr. injury update: How to handle Giants WR vs. Chargers
OBJ has been banged up throughout the season, which has contributed to a so-so start.

The New York Giants are no longer listing Odell Beckham Jr. on the injury report. That means he is good to go vs. the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5.
Beckham has been plagued with injuries since the preseason, most notably a high ankle sprain that sidelined him in Week 1. In three games this season, Beckham has caught 20 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns. Two of those came in the same game, so he’s failed to score in three of the team’s first four games.
He’s been targeted 33 times, so at least the Giants continue to feature him heavily, even amid an 0-4 start. Now, they’ll face another winless team in the Chargers, who have been gashed by every offense they’ve faced.
Fantasy impact: Beckham will face a Chargers defense decimated by injury. They’ve allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Start Beckham in all leagues.
