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.

Savion Williams News
Tuesday, October 20, 6:11 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams is worth a look on the waiver wire after making an immediate impact in Sunday's win over Dallas. Returning from injured reserve, Williams played 40 of Green Bay's 75 offensive snaps and totaled 41 yards on six touches, including a 15-yard reception on the opening drive. Head coach Matt LaFleur praised Williams for providing a spark and said the team needs to find ways to get him the ball. While Christian Watson and Matthew Golden remain the primary receiving options, Williams' early involvement makes him an intriguing stash heading into Week 7 against Detroit.
