Odell Beckham Jr. Responds to ESPN's Fantasy Football Auction Draft Skit

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. tweeted Tuesday he was "speechless" about a segment during ESPN2's Fantasy Sports Marathon on Monday in which fantasy football owners participated in an auction draft.

ESPN provided a statement to USA Today's A.J. Perez apologizing for the draft: "Auction drafts are a common part of fantasy football, and ESPN's segments replicated an auction draft with a diverse slate of top professional football players. Without that context, we understand the optics could be portrayed as offensive, and we apologize.
