Odell Beckham Jr. has to Earn a Role on the Final Roster

Thursday, July 23, 10:16 AM

New York Giants veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. won't just be given a spot on the 53-man roster going into the 2026 regular season because of his past exploits, but ESPN's Jordan Raanan writes that he'll "have to earn his spot on the roster" after he returned to the Giants this spring. The 33-year-old former 12th overall pick by New York in 2014 out of LSU was a Pro Bowler in each of his first three NFL seasons in the Big Apple, but his prime is past him, and he might only stay on the roster if Malik Nabers (knee) isn't ready for the start of the 2026 season. OBJ didn't play at all in 2025 and has nine catches for 55 yards in his last two seasons combined. During training camp this summer, Beckham will be competing with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios for a depth role. Even if Beckham impresses in camp and the preseason and earns a roster spot going into Week 1, fantasy managers in all formats should be ignoring him with little to no upside left in his career.

Cedric Tillman News

Cedric Tillman Pushed Further Down the Depth Chart in 2026

Tuesday, July 7, 6:02 AM

A three-game flash by Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman in the middle of the 2024 season has left dynasty managers holding on and hoping that the flame can be rekindled. From Weeks 7-9 of his sophomore campaign, Tillman made 21 catches for 255 yards and three touchdowns, but a devastating concussion ended his season shortly thereafter, and he has done little of note since. Playing in 13 games in 2025, he topped 30 receiving yards only three times and did not find the end zone after Week 2. With Jerry Jeudy leading all Browns wide receivers with 50 catches, and nobody else in the room reaching even 25 receptions, the team spent two top-40 picks on the position in the 2026 NFL Draft. Rookies KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston could see immediate involvement alongside the team's leading receiver from a year ago, tight end Harold Fannin Jr., leaving Tillman in little more than a supporting role in what again projects to be a below-average offense. The fourth-year receiver falls outside RotoBaller's top 300 for 2026 redraft leagues and has dropped to WR99 in the latest dynasty rankings.
