Giants Beat: 'Not out of the question' WR Odell Beckham 'could miss a week or two"

Aug 23, 2017

Odell Beckham Jr.'s ankle injury could potentially keep the New York Giants wide receiver out of the season opener, sources told ESPN's Jordan Raanan and Dan Graziano.

The Giants open their season on the road on Sept. 10 against the Dallas Cowboys.

It's "not out of the question he could miss a week or two of the regular season," according to one source.

Fantasy Impact:

We have adjusted Beckham's projections to assume one missed game. This has put him in a virtual tie with A.J. Green in PPR formats, though he remains the No. 3 receiver in standard leagues. Owners who draft Beckham could nab Sterling Shepard in the later rounds as a Plan B. The ankle injury doesn't sound serious, but the regular season is fast approaching.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
