Titans Beat: Dorial Green-Beckham needs to report to camp 'in better shape'

Jul 21, 2016

The Titans drafted Dorial Green-Beckham to be a game-changer, and he had his moments in 2015. Green-Beckham finished the year with more catches (32), yards (549) and touchdowns (4) than six of the seven receivers selected in front of him, with the lone exception being Oakland’s Amari Cooper, the fourth overall pick of the draft. The Titans now need DGB to step up and be more consistent in his second NFL season. Green-Beckham dropped some weight from last season, but he’s one of the receivers who needs to return to Nashville in better shape. At the end of June’s minicamp, Green-Beckham vowed to be ready.

Fantasy Impact:

DGB had a solid fantasy points per target (1.18) and is slated for a larger target share in his sophomore season. He averaged 5.9 T/G over his final nine games and played at a 44-791-3.5 pace in that span. In offseason activities, Green-Beckham has been passed on the depth chart by rookie Tajae Sharpe, so it's no sure thing that he's starting Week 1. Risk-adverse owners may want to proceed with caution, though this may simply be a motivational tool to ensure that DGB reports to camp with a sense of urgency.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf expected to practice Wednesday

Mike MacDonald says DK Metcalf is expected to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Metcalf suffered a MCL sprain and missed weeks 8 and 9 and is coming off the bye week, so the hope is Metcalf is good to go for Week 11. It will be worth monitoring the injury and practice reports this week. The Seahawks travel to San Francisco in a later Sunday game so owners will at least want to have a plan in place just in case he's a game-time call.

The Dolphins will have star receiver Tyreek Hill when they play the Rams tonight.

Hill is officially active after he was questionable for the Week 10 contest with a wrist injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The story added Lisa Salters of ESPN reported on Monday that Hill underwent an MRI that showed a torn ligament in his wrist. Hill noted that he was dealing with a wrist issue during training camp that was aggravated during his detainment by police before Miami’s season opener on Sept. 8.

Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) won't play Week 11

Sean McDermott says Bills WR Keon Coleman will not play Sunday against Kansas City.

Related players: Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

Fantasy Impact:

It was possible that Coleman was going to miss multiple weeks of action with the wrist injury and that's now already confirmed. It's the second-straight week Coleman will be out. The Bills are hoping to get back Cooper this week, but if they don't Shakir and Hollins will be the top WRs with Samuel likely also involved. Hollins had a 4-86-0 line with Shakir collecting a 6-58-0 line in Week 10 against the Colts.
