Odell Beckham Jr. Dealing with Low Volume and Quarterback Downgrade

Saturday, September 26, 8:49 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is trending down in fantasy football as a result of his low volume and an unfavorable outlook at the quarterback position. Over the past two weeks, Beckham has played less than 15% of the offensive snaps, and he has yet to command a target on offense. To make matters worse, he and the rest of his Giants teammates will have to deal with a quarterback downgrade as Jameis Winston takes over for Jaxson Dart (knee), who is done for the season. For what it's worth, Beckham wouldn't have been on the fantasy radar even if Dart stayed healthy, but the installation of Winston into the offense is sure to hurt the fantasy outlooks of all Giants receivers. Beckham's comeback story was nice, but just because he made the 53-man roster didn't mean that he was going to have any fantasy relevance. He can continue to be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

Tyquan Thornton News

Tyquan Thornton is a Deep League Play for Week 3

Saturday, September 26, 5:11 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton is coming off a solid performance against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Thornton hauled in all four of his targets for 86 yards in the overtime victory. The 26-year-old was held without a catch in the opener, but now he appears to be getting on the same page as quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Thornton is currently the third wide receiver in this offense, but is unlikely to provide weekly value. He'll head into a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. His role is probably too inconsistent at the moment to trust in most fantasy formats.
