Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. posted a message on social media that makes it seem like he isn’t happy with his involvement in the team’s offense so far this season.
Beckham has appeared in three games for the Dolphins, but he’s yet to make a catch in the 2024 season.
He was targeted once in the Dolphins’ win over the New England Patriots on Oct. 6, but he failed to bring in the pass. Then, on Oct. 20, Beckham was targeted twice against the Indianapolis Colts and still finished without a reception.
Both of those games came without star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, but the quarterback’s return in Week 8 didn’t change much for the veteran receiver. In fact, Beckham was not targeted at all in the loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
In all three of his games in Miami, Beckham has played 11 snaps on offense. With the Dolphins passing game struggling to get going in the weeks that Tagovailoa missed, it’s not surprising that he hasn’t been able to turn his snaps into a ton of production.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Beckham spent the 2023 season playing with the Baltimore Ravens.
Last season, Beckham appeared in 14 regular season games and made six starts. He was targeted 64 times, making 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns.
With the Dolphins sitting at just 2-5 on the season, they may want to think about getting the veteran receiver involved more to improve their offense.
Miami scored 27 points in Tagovailoa’s first game back from a concussion, but it still wasn’t enough to beat Arizona.
If the Dolphins can unlock Beckham’s talent in the passing game, it could open up more chances for Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle if opposing defenses are worried about three receivers that could impact the game.
Beckham’s next chance to make his first catch as a Dolphin will come on Sunday in Week 9 of the 2024 season. The Dolphins will take on the Buffalo Bills, who are in first place in the AFC East with a 6-2 record.
That matchup is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. EST on Nov. 3.
