Fantasy Football owners react to Odell Beckham Jr. suspension
By Jack Crosby
Odell Beckham Jr. is not playing this week, and of course, there are a lot of fantasy owners out there who are not pleased.
On Monday, the obvious news was announced that Odell Beckham Jr. would be suspended for the New York Giants’ upcoming game this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Following the actions that he took on the field Sunday during his little feud with Josh Norman, this decision really wasn’t all that surprising.
While this announcement wasn’t all that much of a shock, it still carries a lot of weight, especially with fantasy football owners. You see, this upcoming week is a lot of fantasy championships, and with Beckham being one of the most prolific players in the game, he’s owned by a lot of people in a lot of leagues.
Well, with this suspension, his skills are not at their disposal as they seek that coveted fantasy championship.
As you’d imagine, these folks are none too pleased. Now as expected, some tweets may contain some questionable language because people are not reasonable.
Big thanks to Odell Beckham Jr. for both making and destroying my fantasy football season yesterday.

Why would they suspend Odell Beckham Jr. now? Do they know it's fantasy playoffs????
