The New York Giants have officially reunited with 33-year-old wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on a one-year contract after the veteran sat out the entire 2025 season. Beckham profiles as a depth piece rather than a fantasy savior, considering his last 1,000-yard campaign occurred in 2019 and his last active season in 2024 yielded a geriatric 14.1% Target Share with just 9 receptions for 55 yards in Miami.
Beckham fortunately joins a depleted WR room in New York and will immediate compete for targets with Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin. Once Malik Nabers returns, Beckham will be relegated to a nostalgia piece.

After recently undergoing a knee “clean up” procedure per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan, it is simply not realistic to expect star receiver Malik Nabers to return for the start of training camp. Head coach Harbaugh noted Nabers is working hard daily to recover, though he admitted the injury is complex and the team will have to “see what happens” moving forward.
Due to this ongoing uncertainty, Nabers’ current mid-to-late second-round ADP has not yet fully factored in his injury downside. He is an easy avoid in all formats until more information surfaces about the nature of the knee injury and the progress of his recovery
No big surprise here. While it is encouraging to hear Malik Nabers is setback-free, this statement is a reminder that Nabers is not going to be full-go to start the season.
If the head coach is already admitting that Nabers will likely open camp on the PUP list, then there is a strong possibility that Nabers starts the season on the PUP list for four games before being eased back into action in October. Nabers is a classic redraft sell and dynasty buy.
Not many had Darnell Mooney to New York on their NFL Free Agency bingo card. Mooney’s 27.1% Slot Rate last season positions him to replace the departed Wan’Dale Robinson, while Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins and Calvin Austin have the size and speed respectively to play outside. Mooney’s advanced stats and $10 million salary suggests he will be a primary fixture in the 2026 offense. Mooney’s best ball ADP should rise as Jaxson Dart’s clear WR2 in 2026.
Drake London will miss Sunday’s road matchup with the Jets as the Falcons aim to stay in playoff contention. At 4-7 and 2 games back of the Panthers and Buccaneers for the division, it appears those hopes are slipping away.
London is sitting as the WR7 overall in fantasy and has had 3 WR1 overall games this season. With Kirk Cousins taking over for an injured Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons will turn to Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts in the passing game. Expect the offense to primarily run through both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. The Falcons get the Seahawks at home in Week 14 where fantasy managers will cling to hope that London can return.

Fantasy managers got some unfortunate news that Drake London is now questionable with a hip injury and is in danger of missing a cake matchup versus the Dolphins. After an 8.2 fantasy point performance Week 7 against the 49ers, London will be in a great spot to rebound should he play Sunday.
Darnell Mooney and Kyle Pitts will be sneaky winners should London miss. With Kirk Cousins getting the start in place of an injured Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons will logically feed Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier. The Dolphins defense is dead last against the run. Fire up all active Falcons this week versus the Dolphins.
