Beckham signed with the Dolphins last year but failed to make it to the end of the season in Miami. The two sides agreed to part ways after OBJ was targeted once in Week 14. He caught nine passes for 55 scoreless yards in nine games as a Dolphin. It’s possible Beckham has something left in the tank, though he hasn’t topped 600 yards in a season since 2019. At this point in his career, Beckham is best deployed as a depth piece on a contending team. Given his pedigree, Beckham should be able to find a spot on a roster before Week 1 if he’s willing to take a team-friendly contract. For fantasy purposes, there’s no meat on the bone here, no matter where Beckham signs.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero says Beckham “is hoping for more opportunities elsewhere.” Beckham’s tenure with the Dolphins ends with nine catches for 55 yards on 18 targets. The veteran receiver never fully found his footing in Miami. Beckham signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins during the offseason after spending 2023 with the Ravens but opened the year on the reserve/PUP list after undergoing surgery for an undisclosed injury. Beckham will be on waivers until Monday. If he clears, he will be free to sign with any team and would likely join up with a contender on their practice squad.

Beckham remains a part-time player in the Miami offense. He didn’t draw a look until the fourth quarter and ran a route on just 10 of the Dolphins’ 52 drop backs. OBJ has one game with more than two catches on the season and won’t hold fantasy relevance unless Jaylen Waddle or Tyreek Hill miss time.

Per PFF, Beckham ran a season-high 11 routes in the Dolphins’ Week 8 loss to the Colts. It was two more routes than he ran in Weeks 5 and 7. The veteran receiver has yet to catch a pass in any of his three games as a Dolphin and is looking more like a failed experiment than a savvy veteran signing through the first eight weeks of the season. We won’t dispute the idea that OBJ could see more involvement going forward, but the Dolphins have run the third-fewest pass plays out of 11 personnel per FantasyPoints.com. As long as Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are healthy, there won’t be much left for OBJ in the target order.
