Odell Beckham Fantasy Outlook After Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard Injuries

The New York Giants entered the year with several top options at wide receiver, but a trio of injuries Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers could make things difficult. 

According to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, both Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard were ruled out after suffering ankle injuries. This could not only slow down the Giants offense even more; it could cause fantasy owners to make adjustments.

When healthy and at his best, Marshall is one of the top red-zone options in the NFL. Shepard is an option all over the field with his quality route running and consistency, but Eli Manning will have to find other options on the roster.

Odell Beckham Jr. is the clear first option for the Giants, but he too left the 27-22 loss with an ankle injury of his own, according to NFL.com's Jordan Raanan. 

All of these injuries could provide an opening for tight end Evan Engram.

The rookie, after no catches from four targets, has 30 catches for 200 yards and becomes one of the few offensive playmakers remaining on the roster. He was already worthy of a pickup after his recent success, but if Marshall and Shepard remain out, the tight end could become a fantasy star.

Roger Lewis becomes the next option at receiver for the Giants and could become a streaming option for desperate teams in deep leagues. 

He had just seven catches last season and seven more coming into this week and scored in the second half on a 29-yard reception (his only catch out of two targets) after Marshall and Shepard were ruled out. However, it's hard to expect too much production for the undrafted free agent, but he could be worth a look on the waiver wire in case he receives consistent playing time.
