Giants not expecting WR Odell Beckham to play Week 1

The Giants will likely open their season with their first-round draft pick where he has been throughout the preseason: on the sideline.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin indicated on Saturday that rookie receiver Odell Beckham, who is nursing a hamstring injury, isn’t expected to play in the Monday night opener against the Lions. Coughlin said one of the reasons wide receiver Preston Parker made the 53-man roster is that he’ll be playing some of the roles the Giants had hoped Beckham could play.

Fantasy Impact: 

It will be interesting to see if Corey Washington gets a chance after an outstanding preseason. Look for Victor Cruz and Rueben Randle to be the mainstays Week 1. But the Giants offense has struggled, particularly QB Eli Manning and Randle's communication. Outside of RB Rashad Jennings and possibly Cruz, seems best to stay away from the Giants, if possible.
