Calvin Austin III News
Thursday, August 27, 3:29 PM
The New York Giants officially placed wide receiver Calvin Austin III (knee) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to Patricia Traina of Sports Illustrated. Austin will miss the entire 2026 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee during training camp practice on Tuesday. With the 27-year-old now out of the picture in the Big Apple this year, it will help Odell Beckham Jr.'s odds of making the 53-man roster as he competes with Braxton Berrios, Jalin Hyatt, and Isaiah Hodgins in a depth role behind Malik Nabers (knee), Darius Slayton, and Darnell Mooney. Austin was heading into his first year with the G-Men after signing a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the team in March. The former fourth-rounder in 2022 by the Pittsburgh Steelers from Memphis failed to capitalize on his opportunity in Pittsburgh last year, catching just 31 of 55 targets for 372 yards and three touchdowns in 14 regular-season games after going for a career-high 548 yards and four TDs in his second year in 2024. Austin can obviously be ignored in all fantasy formats in 2026.

CJ Daniels News
Monday, November 9, 3:40 PM
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that there is "no doubt about it" that rookie wide receiver CJ Daniels will be someone who will get more opportunities to see more snaps/field time going forward, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official website. Star wideout Puka Nacua (knee, toe) is expected to join Davante Adams (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, so if the Rams do not pull off a trade for a new receiver before Tuesday's deadline, Daniels, Konata Mumpfield, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington will all be competing for quarterback Matthew Stafford's attention in elevated offensive roles. The 24-year-old Daniels, who went undrafted, has appeared in only three games so far as a rookie and has played six offensive snaps without a single target. He will have a better chance to put numbers up in the box score this weekend against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals and will be worth a look as a deep-league flier for fantasy managers who are hurting at the position. Daniels is not currently rostered in any Yahoo leagues.
