Odell Beckham Jr. Signs With Vikings

Veteran wide receiver joins Minnesota, but his fantasy relevance may be limited.

By Cole Hartwell

Odell Beckham Jr. is signing with the Minnesota Vikings, according to a report from Jordan Schultz of Schultz_Report and Underdog NFL. The move adds a veteran presence to the Vikings’ receiving corps.

What happened

Schultz reported the news on X, citing sources. Beckham, 33, had been a free agent after being released. Details of the contract were not immediately available.

Beckham spent the first part of the 2026 season with another team, but his usage was minimal. Through four weeks, he appeared in three games and was targeted just once, playing only 11% of offensive snaps, according to Sleeper data.

Context

Beckham has 12 years of NFL experience. His recent production has declined sharply. In Week 3, he saw just one target. In Weeks 2 and 1, he played 5% and 16% of snaps, respectively.

The Vikings’ receiving room currently features Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as the primary options. Beckham will likely compete for a depth role.

What’s next

Beckham will need to learn the Vikings’ offense and earn playing time. His first opportunity to suit up could come in Week 5, but no timeline has been announced.

Schultz: Odell Beckham Jr. to sign with the Vikings.

BREAKING: Odell Beckham Jr. is signing with the #Vikings, per sources.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Beckham’s fantasy value is minimal after signing with Minnesota. He was invisible in his previous stop, with just one target in three games and minimal snaps. In Minnesota, he slots in behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, leaving little room for targets. Unless injuries hit the Vikings’ top receivers, Beckham is not worth rostering in most leagues. He could be a streaming dart throw in very deep formats, but it’s safer to leave him on the waiver wire.
