Odell Beckham Jr. News
Saturday, September 12, 8:12 AM
Legendary New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. returns to the Big Apple as the Giants face the Dallas Cowboys. Beckham made the 53-man roster after a strong training camp and will play his first game with the Giants since 2018. In his last NFL stint in 2024, Beckham played just nine games, catching nine of 18 targets for 55 yards and no touchdowns. While he hasn't produced enough to be fantasy-relevant, Beckham will have a role in Week 1. Malik Nabers (knee) is questionable, while Darnell Mooney and rookie Malachi Fields are the only other receivers ahead of Beckham on the depth chart. He also faces a Cowboys defense that allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers last season. While he's not a starting option for fantasy managers in Week 1, Beckham will have opportunities in his homecoming.

Efton Chism III News
Sunday, August 23, 9:12 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III keeps making the most of a crowded situation. Chism caught all four of his targets for 45 yards in Saturday's 24-21 preseason win over Philadelphia, moving the chains on a 24-yard catch on third down and again after an eight-yard grab. This wasn't a one-night flash, either. Chism has been working as the backup slot receiver with Tommy DeVito and the second-team offense, and Mike Vrabel praised his blocking, competitiveness and ability to show up when needed earlier this month. He made the roster as an undrafted rookie last year, though the regular-season opportunities were scarce. Chism caught three passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in eight games. The path is still ugly for redraft purposes with A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams all in the room. Chism isn't suddenly a standard-league target because of four preseason catches. He is making it harder for New England to ignore him, though, and Saturday gave deeper-league managers another reason to keep his name tucked away.
