On Friday, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said that Odell Beckham Jr. could play against the Patriots, albeit on a limited number of reps. This is great news for fantasy managers who are considering picking Beckham for Week 5.

Beckham was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He is expected to have another full participation on Friday before the Dolphins make the trip to New England.

Beckham was dealing with a knee injury before the start of the 2024 season, and he chose to go onto the Physically Unable to Perform List. This effectively ruled him out for four games, but on Thursday, Beckham said it was a decision he made for the team.

"For me, it was a selfless act," Beckham said. "Because if I'm not on the PUP list, I'm taking up a roster spot. Which means I'm taking someone else's job and I'm not doing anything. It's not really a good feeling to have. So it was what was best for this team, this organization."

Beckham also said he was grateful to return to practice ahead of making his potential debut against the Patriots on Sunday.

Beckham, who is playing his 10th season in the league, has established himself as one of the finest wideouts to have graced the NFL. The three-time Pro Bowler has racked up 7,932 yards on 566 receptions and caught 59 touchdowns. He also won the Super Bowl with the LA Rams in 2022.

Across his NFL career thus far, Beckham has tallied 1,740 fantasy points, averaging 15.8 points per game.
