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.

Ja'Kobi Lane News
Monday, November 9, 11:34 AM
Across five games in 2026, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane has recorded nine catches for 89 yards on 14 targets. Like the rest of the Ravens offense, Lane had a miserable day in Baltimore's Week 9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, going without a target or a reception. However, the Ravens should get better quarterback play going forward after trading for veteran signal-caller Jacoby Brissett. While Brissett can't replace the injured Lamar Jackson (thumb), his presence may lead to Baltimore becoming a more pass-heavy team. Across 20 starts over the last two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, Brissett has averaged 39.5 pass attempts per game. If Brissett continues his high-volume passing in Baltimore, Lane could be the beneficiary. In deeper fantasy leagues, Lane could be worth stashing off the waiver wire ahead of Baltimore's Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
