Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Logs first catches of the season
Rotowire
Beckham secured all three of his targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Bills.
It took Beckham four games to record his first catches in a Dolphins uniform, but the veteran wideout managed to make an impact on offense during Miami's narrow divisional defeat Sunday. He continues to play less than 20 percent of offensive snaps, however, meaning Beckham's target share may not remain consistent heading into a road matchup against the Rams on Monday Night Football. Malik Washington now has gone back-to-back games without a target, but he's consistently played roughly twice the amount of offensive snaps per game as Beckham.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Held without a catch again
Rotowire
Beckham was not targeted during Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.
Beckham has now failed to log a single catch through three appearances in a Dolphins uniform, and in his first appearance with Tua Tagovailoa back under center the veteran wideout didn't even draw a target. Rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington, who also wasn't targeted versus Arizona, played 16 offensive snaps while Beckham played just 11. A tough Week 9 matchup against the Bills won't do Beckham any favors.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Invisible in Week 7 loss
Rotowire
Beckham failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Colts.
Beckham was unable to get more involved in Miami's offense despite coming off a bye, with both Tyler Huntley (shoulder) and Tim Boyle proving unable to adequately command head coach Mike McDaniel's offense even against a vulnerable Indianapolis secondary. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will be eligible to come off IR as early as Week 8 versus Arizona, and while his return could provide a glimmer of hope for Beckham's prospects, the Dolphins haven't yet given official word on when the franchise quarterback is expected back in the lineup.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Set to face Colts
Rotowire
Beckham (hamstring/personal) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
After being added to the Dolphins' injury report Friday, when he was absent from practice due to a combination of a hamstring injury and a personal matter, Beckham approached the contest listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, the veteran wideout -- who didn't catch his only target in his season debut against the Patriots in Week 5 -- will provide depth behind Miami's top pass-catching duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but Beckham will need to turn in a full and productive game before meriting fantasy lineup consideration.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Questionable after Friday's DNP
Rotowire
Beckham (hamstring/personal) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Beckham was seemingly on track to make his second appearance for the Dolphins prior to popping up on the injury report Friday. His status for Sunday's game carries much less fantasy importance than it would have a few years ago, as the nearly 32-year-old wideout is well past his prime. Beckham failed to catch his only target in his Dolphins debut against the Patriots in Week 5.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Making debut with team
Rotowire
Beckham (knee) is listed as active Sunday at New England.
Beckham joined the Dolphins on May 3, but his debut with the team was delayed to start the season as he continued his recovery from an offseason procedure. The specific body part was clarified to be his knee once the team designated him for return this past week, and he proceeded to put together three straight full practices before the team listed him as questionable for Week 5 action. Miami officially activated Beckham from the reserve/PUP list Saturday and now has cleared him outright one day later upon posting its list of inactives. The Dolphins' passing game doesn't hold much promise with Tyler Huntley and not Tua Tagovailoa (IR, concussion) under center, and Beckham also will have to contend for looks with the team's top WR duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, so he may take some time to make an impact.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Set to play Sunday
Rotowire
Beckham (knee), who was activated off the reserve/PUP list Saturday, is listed as questionable but is slated to make his season debut Sunday against the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Beckham is more of a big name than a fantasy factor at this point in his career, and even if he does still have some juice left in him, Miami's moribund passing attack without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) will make it difficult to rely on him to deliver useful numbers. The 31-year-old Beckham recorded 565 receiving yards in 14 games with the Ravens in 2023 and likely represents an upgrade over Malik Washington and practice squad call-ups as a No. 3 option at receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Because he just resumed practicing this week after spending the entirety of training camp and the preseason on the PUP list, Beckham will likely be on a limited snap count Week 5.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Full practice participant
Rotowire
Beckham (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Miami's first practice report of the week confirms that Beckham -- who is on the PUP list -- has been sidelined due to a problem with his knee after specifics regarding his injury hadn't previously been reported. In any case, Beckham's return to practice suggests that khe could be back in action as soon as this Sunday at New England. He won't have much fantasy value while catching passes from backup quarterbacks and competing with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle for snaps and targets, but Beckham could have a bigger role down the line if Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) eventually returns and either Hill or Waddle misses time.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Practice window could be opened
Rotowire
Beckham, who is bouncing back from an unspecified offseason procedure, is on track to have his 21-day practice window opened this coming week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
That said, while Beckham (who is on the PUP list) appears to be trending toward a return to practice, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero notes that things remain fluid in terms of the wideout's status and his return timeline has yet to be determined. Once he's deemed ready to rejoin Miami's lineup, Beckham will have an opportunity to claim a key complementary role behind top WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Making progress in recovery
Rotowire
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday he's seen "good progress" from Beckham (undisclosed), adding that he feels optimistic the veteran wide receiver will be ready to practice when eligible after Week 4, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.
McDaniel said Beckham has avoided any setbacks in his recovery, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The veteran receiver won't be eligible to come off the reserve/PUP list until Week 5 at the earliest, and his return could still take longer than that if a ramp-up period at practice is needed. Due to his recovery from an unspecified offseason surgery, Beckham was unable to participate in practice throughout all of training camp and the preseason.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Recovering from offseason surgery
Rotowire
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Wednesday that Beckham is recovering from an undisclosed offseason procedure, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Miami has been dodgy about the details of Beckham's undisclosed injury all offseason, though Grier again stated that the team was aware of the issue when signing the veteran wideout. As a result of starting the season on the PUP list, Beckham's first opportunity to take the field will come Week 5 versus the Patriots on Oct. 6. He didn't practice in any capacity during training camp.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Shifts to reserve/PUP list
Rotowire
The Dolphins placed Beckham (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
Beckham will officially miss at least the first four games of the regular season as he continues to work his way back from an undisclosed issue. The veteran wideout spent all of training camp and the preseason on the active/PUP list, and Miami was reportedly aware of the possibility that he'd miss the start of the season when both sides agreed to a contract earlier this offseason. With River Cracraft (upper body) also beginning the year on IR, there will be opportunities for Braxton Berrios and rookie sixth-round pick Malik Washington to work in behind top wideouts Tyreek Hill (hand) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) early.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Uncertain for PUP
Rotowire
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he's not sure if Beckham (undisclosed) will start the regular season on the reserve/PUP list or active roster, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Week 1 availability may be an uphill battle, but Beckham apparently still has some chance to avoid the automatic four-game absence that comes with a PUP stint to start the year. He's been on active/PUP since the start of training camp, yet to practice with his new teammates this summer. Braxton Berrios is the favorite for the No. 3 receiver role in Beckham's absence, with rookie Malik Washington and third-year pro Erik Ezukanma (foot) also candidates to take some WR snaps behind Tyreek Hill (hand) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed). The Dolphins have dealt with a glut of injuries at the position this summer, but there hasn't been any indication of Hill or Waddle being in serious danger of missing Week 1 against Jacksonville.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Return to practice near?
Rotowire
Coach Mike McDaniel said after Friday's preseason loss at Tampa Bay that the Dolphins hope Beckham (undisclosed) will be able to practice before Week 1, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
After signing a one-year deal with Miami in May, Beckham spent the entirety of training camp and exhibition season on the active/PUP list due to an unknown injury. Considering McDaniel's comment Friday, the team could make it clear that Beckham is closing in on full health by removing him from PUP, but he ultimately won't be able to join his teammates in drills until such a move is made.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Not practicing this week
Rotowire
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Beckham (undisclosed) isn't likely to practice this week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Beckham has already missed two preseason games and more than three weeks of practice with an unspecified injury. It's fair to wonder whether he'll be ready for Week 1, and his role might be quite limited even if he is.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: Won't practice this week
Rotowire
Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Beckham (undisclosed) won't practice this week, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Beckham remains on the active/PUP list and is still considered week-to-week. Reports in July suggested there wasn't much concern about his Week 1 availability, but that may have changed now that he's still not practicing after three weeks of training camp. There hasn't been any update on the exact nature of Beckham's injury or injuries.

Dolphins' Odell Beckham: To start camp on PUP list
Rotowire
Beckham (undisclosed) is set to be placed on the Dolphins' active/PUP list, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Per Pelissero, Beckham is reportedly "working through minor things and this is part of the plan for easing (the wideout) back into football." Once he is able to return to practice, he'll look to solidify his standing as the Dolphins' No. 3 WR behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. In that role, Beckham may not have a path to steady volume, but if either Hill or Waddle are forced to miss time, the 31-year-old's profile in Miami's passing attack could expand.

Odell Beckham: Nothing imminent with Miami
Rotowire
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that there's "nothing imminent" on a deal between Beckham and the team, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Beckham was reportedly extended a contract offer by Miami after visiting with the team back in March, but it doesn't appear that a signing is around the corner. The 31-year-old is coming off a forgettable 14-game season with the Ravens in which he put up a 35-565-3 receiving line, but he could find more success as a No. 3 option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. It could be that Beckham will need to wait until after the dust of the 2024 NFL Draft has settled to find a landing spot.

Odell Beckham: Weighing offer from Dolphins
Rotowire
Miami has extended a contract offer to Beckham, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Beckham visited the Dolphins last week, and coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that the team has an offer extended to the veteran wideout. With Cedrick Wilson having departed in free agency, Miami is in need of a No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and Beckham likely would offer the team an upgrade over what's been fielded at that spot in recent years. Though the 31-year-old finished with just 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games for the Ravens last season, including two playoff matches, it's difficult to think of a landing spot better for Beckham's potential fantasy prospects than with the Dolphins.

Ravens' Odell Beckham: Wanted back in Baltimore
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh and GM Eric DeCosta both suggested this week that they'd like Beckham to re-sign with the Ravens, Clifton Brown and Ryan Mink of the team's official website report. "[Beckham]'s become a great friend of mine and a friend to the Ravens," DeCosta said Tuesday. "I think we'll just kind of assess and see what happens over the next couple of weeks."
Beckham presumably would have to accept a major pay cut after signing a one-year, $15 million contract last offseason. He made some big plays but was never a full-time player after the first few games, ultimately finishing with 35 catches for 565 yards and three TDs in the regular season. Harbaugh has already mentioned viewing Rashod Bateman as a starter for 2024, in which Beckham would be coming back as the third/fourth wide receiver. The team recently re-signed Nelson Agholor, ensuring they'll have a veteran presence behind Bateman and Zay Flowers even if Beckham ends up signing elsewhere.
