Is Odell Beckham Jr. playing this week, and is Nelson Agholor worth picking up and starting? Read the injury updates for Odell Beckham Jr. and Nelson Agholor.
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was the 12th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. Beckham had a solid college career, totaling 143 receptions for 2,340 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in three years at LSU.
The former LSU star became one of the top wide receivers in the NFL as a rookie. Beckham had 91 receptions on 130 targets for 1,305 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014, leading the league in receiving yards per game (108.8). He won Offensive Rookie of the Year and made the Pro Bowl that year.
Unfortunately, injuries have impacted his career. Beckham missed 12 games in 2017 with a broken ankle. He suffered a torn ACL in 2020 with the Cleveland Browns. More importantly, the star receiver suffered the second torn ACL in his career during Super Bowl 56. The injury kept him from playing last season.

Is Odell Beckham Jr. Playing In Week 4?
After sitting out the 2022 season, Beckham signed a one-year deal with the Ravens. The veteran has had a quiet year thus far, totaling only five receptions on seven targets for 66 receiving yards, scoring 9.1 half-point PPR fantasy points.
Beckham suffered an ankle injury in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The team believed the injury was minor. However, the veteran wide receiver will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday because of the ankle injury.
Should I Pickup And Start Nelson Agholor?
Zay Flowers has become the No. 1 wide receiver in Baltimore. However, the depth behind him is extremely thin. The Ravens only have three healthy wide receivers on the 53-man roster, with Rashod Bateman and Beckham not playing this week – Flowers, Agholor, and Devin Duvernay.
Over the past two weeks, Agholor has nine receptions on 10 targets for 102 receiving yards and a touchdown, totaling 20.7 fantasy points. However, he has a tough matchup this week against the Browns. Cleveland has surrendered only 14.9 fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, the fewest in the NFL.
Instead, fantasy players should add Marvin Mims Jr. off the waiver wire and start him this week. The rookie receiver leads the team in receiving yards (195), yards per route run (7.22), and target per route run rate (33.3%). He has an excellent matchup in Week 4 against an awful Chicago Bears secondary. Mims is rostered in only 15.2% of ESPN leagues.
