Odell Beckham Jr. News
Monday, June 1, 9:41 AM
Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has agreed to a deal that will bring him back to the New York Giants for his 11th season in 13 years. Now 33 years old, Beckham was the first-round pick of the Giants in 2014, where he won the offensive Rookie of the Year Award and set receiving records throughout his first five years in the league. Beckham last played for the Dolphins in 2024, making nine catches in nine games for 55 yards and no scores, but has reportedly been in contact with the team for months. With the status of 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers seemingly in doubt to begin the year after a catastrophic knee injury landed him on injured reserve in 2025, the Giants hosted Beckham, along with fellow veterans JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios, for a Monday morning workout that resulted in contracts for both Beckham and Berrios.

Kevin Austin Jr. News
Sunday, January 4, 8:27 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. is expected to have an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints will be without Chris Olave (illness) and Mason Tipton (groin) for the regular-season finale. The absence of those players should push Austin into the No. 1 wideout role in this offense. With all the injuries to the Saints' wideouts, Dante Pettis should also see an increase in target share on Sunday. Austin made himself known to the league when he hauled in four receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 17's win over the Tennessee Titans. Austin was able to do that with Olave healthy for that game, which means he should be able to produce more without him this weekend. Fantasy managers with something on the line this week can use Austin as a FLEX play, or in DFS contests, might want to target Austin as he's priced at only $3,400 on DraftKings.
