Odell Beckham Jr. will not hold out

Despite the reports that star wide receiver Odell Beckham and the New York Giants 'aren't close' in potential contract extension negotiations, Beckham told a group of reporters "No holdout" when asked if he would be in attendance when training camp kicks off in July. (NJ.com)
Fantasy Impact:
Beckham is earning $8.459 million this season after the Giants exercised their fifth-year option. One of the best wideouts in the game, Beckham is seeking a contract that would make him the highest-paid receiver in the NFL. That distinction currently belongs to Tampa Bay's Mike Evans, who will earn $21.8 million in 2018. OBJ is currently tied with Brandin Cooks as the 21st most compensated wide receiver. Beckham, of course, could always change his mind about a potential holdout but is going to earn a monster contract next year, especially if he produces another top-5 wide receiver season.
