OBJ gets three snaps in return

Odell Beckham Jr. was on the field for only three plays out of 58 total offensive snaps in Monday night's Giants game. His most notable moment came after the game when he hugged former coach Sean McVay.

“Beckham was on the field for only three snaps. Out of 58 total offensive plays.”

Other receivers got way more snaps

Malachi Fields played 47 snaps, Malik Nabers had 43, and Darnell Mooney was on the field for 42. Even backup special-teamer Braxton Berrios got five offensive snaps, making Beckham's three snaps stand out as unusually low.

Starter gets hurt, OBJ still benched

Starting quarterback Jaxson Dart left early with a knee injury, and backup Jameis Winston struggled, completing only 11 of 27 passes. Despite having a strong rapport with Winston, Beckham remained on the sideline.

Zero targets through two games

In Week 1, Beckham played 11 of 69 snaps. Across both games, he has been targeted zero times, suggesting the Giants aren't looking to involve him in the offense.

“In Week 1, Beckham was on the field for 11 of 69 snaps. He has been targeted zero times, through two games.”

Giants questioning the roster spot

The team is wondering if Beckham's game-day roster spot is being wasted. They have receiver Dalen Cambre on the practice squad who was second in the NCAA in special-teams tackles and blocked two punts in college.

Good story, but results matter

Bringing Beckham back to the Giants is a feel-good narrative that fans love. However, early-season trends show minimal involvement, forcing the team to decide if nostalgia is worth a valuable roster spot.

“Yes, the Giants bringing Beckham back to Big Blue is a good story. The fans love him. But the early-season trends aren't encouraging.”
