Vikings Release Odell Beckham Jr.

Tuesday, November 10, 12:58 PM

The Minnesota Vikings released veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Beckham was signed to Minnesota's active roster off the practice squad for Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills, but he played only two snaps and was not targeted in the 23-6 loss. In his three games with the New York Giants earlier this year, OBJ had zero receptions on just one target. The Vikings need room on their active roster after acquiring veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in a blockbuster trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 34-year-old Beckham is expected to return to Minnesota's practice squad, but he will only be eligible to be brought back up to the active roster for three more games this year. The three-time Pro Bowler (in each of his first three seasons in the NFL) is nearing the end of his NFL career in his 11 seasons and will not be on the fantasy radar in any format for the rest of the 2026 campaign.

Zachariah Branch News

Zachariah Branch Won't Play in Week 9

Monday, November 2, 11:08 AM

Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday that rookie wide receiver Zachariah Branch (hamstring) will not play on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9, according to Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Branch was not targeted at all in the team's Week 8 shutout loss to the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday before injuring his hamstring, and he could be facing a multi-week absence. The 22-year-old third-rounder from Georgia has had a minimal role in the Falcons' offense so far in his first year in the NFL, catching only 10 of his 12 targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns. Branch has speed to spare and is shifty in open space, but barring injuries to the rest of the team's WR corps, he will be fighting an uphill battle for playing time when he returns from his hamstring injury. Branch's next chance to return for Atlanta will be in Week 10 at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. He should only be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues for now.
