Odell Beckham Jr. Makes the Giants' 53-Man Roster

Sunday, August 30, 12:59 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has made the 53-man roster, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. After the Giants' preseason finale, head coach John Harbaugh said that Beckham proved he earned a spot on an NFL roster. At the time, he didn't say if the veteran receiver would make the Giants' roster, but that's now official. As Ranaan notes, Beckham faced an uphill battle to make the team this summer, but he earned the spot by proving he can get open and by staying healthy. The 33-year-old was out of the league last year and hasn't been targeted in a game since 2024 with the Miami Dolphins. Not only is this Beckham's second stint with the Giants, but it's also his second time playing for John Harbaugh, who was his head coach in Baltimore in 2023.

Arian Smith's Role in Jets Trending Down

Wednesday, November 19, 12:15 AM

New York Jets wide receiver Arian Smith had his lowest snap share since Week 1 in the team's 27-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 11. Smith played just 15.8% of the snaps and ran 21.2% of the routes, both significantly lower than his season averages. It seems the rookie wideout has moved into a depth role after the Jets acquired two wide receivers at the trade deadline in John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. Smith wasn't a fantasy-relevant option to begin with, catching six of 10 targets for 47 yards in 10 games this season.
