This past Friday, the Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. after the former All-Pro appeared in nine of the team’s 13 games in 2024. In May, Beckham signed a one-year, $3 million deal with Miami worth up to $8.25 million with incentives but largely underwhelmed. On the season, the former LSU standout registered nine catches for 55 yards as the presumed third option behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, although he never really established himself as that guy. As a result, tight end Jonnu Smith has become one of Tua Tagovailoa’s favorite targets upon his return from injury.

In terms of fantasy impact, it is unlikely that Beckham’s departure will drastically alter the outlook of Miami’s top weapons. Since he had such little production in Miami, the trio of Hill, Waddle, and Smith should maintain their status as Tua’s top targets going forward. Perhaps Malik Washington — a rookie wideout who has seen an elevated role over the last few weeks — figures to benefit most from Odell’s departure.
