Odell Beckham Jr. News
Wednesday, August 5, 12:40 PM
Wednesday was another strong day at practice for New York Giants veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Beckham had four catches in team drills and made some tough grabs. He has taken advantage of the opportunities with both Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton sitting out with injuries early in training camp. Raanan adds that it's pretty important for OBJ to stand out, since he's on the roster bubble in camp and the preseason. The 33-year-old former 12th overall pick in 2014 by the Giants out of LSU didn't play at all in 2025 and looked washed up in 2023 and 2024 with the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins, respectively, catching a combined 44 passes on 82 targets for just 620 yards and three touchdowns in 23 games (six starts). He may have found a spark of energy in his return to the Big Apple, but even if Beckham makes the team's active roster going into Week 1, he's unlikely to have a big enough role on offense to warrant attention in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

Devontez Walker News
Tuesday, June 23, 10:43 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker was a standout wideout this spring for the Ravens, continually stretching the field, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. Walker, who was drafted in the fourth round in 2024 out of the University of North Carolina, has pressure on him this year after the Ravens drafted Ja'Kobi Lane in the third round and Elijah Sarratt in the fourth round in April. Walker is competing for the WR3 role behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman in 2026, and so far, he has made the most of his limited opportunities during his first two seasons in the league, scoring four touchdowns on his seven career catches. The 25-year-old pass-catcher only caught six of eight targets for 136 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games (three starts) for the Ravens last year. There is an opportunity for Walker in the Ravens' new offense in 2026, but he can be ignored in 12-team fantasy leagues to begin the year.
