Odell Beckham Jr. injury update: Latest on Ravens WR for fantasy football Week 3

Odell Beckham Jr. is expected to play a big role for the Baltimore Ravens in the 2023 NFL season. The wideout has also established himself as a popular fantasy pick.

Following the Baltimore Ravens' 27-24 victory over the Bengals on Sunday, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has said that Beckham suffered an ankle injury but it was not considered too serious.

On Friday, September 22, the Ravens officially ruled out the superstar WR for Week 3.

What happened to Odell Beckham Jr.?

Beckham exited the Week 2 game against the Bengals in the third quarter with an ankle injury. He appeared to pick up the injury on the opening drive.

The wideout left the game briefly and was evaluated by a doctor on the bench. Beckham played the first half but didn't return for the remainder of the contest after exiting the game in the second half.

The wideout made three receptions on four targets for 29 yards before leaving the game against Cincinnati. Baltimore eventually held on to get its second win of the 2023 season.

When will Odell Beckham Jr. return?

As of Friday, Beckham was listed as out for the Ravens. However, his injury is not expected to sideline him for too long. Most of the signs coming out of the Ravens were far from negative on the prognosis. Considering OBJ's injury history, the Ravens have made the call to afford him some time to recuperate as they look to continue their strong start to the season.

Odell Beckham Jr. could possibly return in Week 4 when Baltimore goes up against Cleveland.

Although Beckham looks to have formed a strong partnership with quarterback Lamar Jackson, he has not yet shown signs of returning to his best. The 30-year-old still remains one of the best receivers in the league but we suggest that you keep him on your fantasy bench for Week 3.
