Rams WR Odell Beckham is active for tonight's game vs. the 49ers. He signed with Los Angeles on Thursday and joined the team on Friday, so don't expect him to be ready for a full workload tonight.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that WR Odell Beckham Jr. will make his Rams debut in Monday night's game against the 49ers. HC Sean McVay had hedged on whether Beckham would see game action right away, but Robert Woods' ACL tear obviously applies a big change to the offense. Of course, it's tough to know exactly how much usage we can expect for OBJ in his 1st game. The whole scenario adds upside to Van Jefferson as a deeper WR play.

Rams WR Robert Woods is done for the season after suffering an ACL tear in Friday's practice. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Woods got up and finished practice and even talked with reporters afterward, unaware of the injury's severity. Woods' injury obviously gives a big boost to Odell Beckham Jr.'s upside and keeps Van Jefferson relevant. We're not adjusting our outlook for QB Matthew Stafford, thanks to Beckham's arrival.

The Rams have announced that they've agreed to terms with WR Odell Beckham Jr. That should make OBJ a top-3 wideout in 1 of the league's strongest offenses the rest of the way. Beckham's arrival effectively kills Van Jefferson's fantasy relevance. We'll see about the impact on fantasy outlooks for WRs Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods, as well as TE Tyler Higbee. Beckham will have a hard time delivering regular fantasy-starter production in such a crowded offense, but he'll present weekly upside at least into WR3 range.

WR Odell Beckham went unclaimed on waivers. This was expected since any team that claimed Beckham would have owed him $7.25 million for the rest of the season. Now OBJ is a free agent and can negotiate with teams of his choosing. Expect him to sign within the next day or 2.

The Browns and WR Odell Beckham Jr. have agreed to terms that will allow him to hit waivers on Monday. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Browns are shaving the final 2 years off his contract. If Beckham clears waivers without being claimed, he'd become a free agent at 4 p.m. ET Tuesday afternoon.

Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports that the Browns and WR Odell Beckham Jr. have negotiated an end to his time in Cleveland. The team reportedly plans to waive Beckham on Friday. If Beckham passes through waivers without getting claimed, he'd then be free to sign with any team. Given that no franchise apparently made a solid enough offer -- or any offer? -- to acquire Beckham and his contract before the trade deadline, it's certainly no lock that he'll be claimed on waivers. We'd certainly bet on Beckham landing somewhere with opportunity, though. That makes him worth holding on fantasy rosters where possible for now. His pending departure leaves targets available in Cleveland, with Jarvis Landry and Donovan Peoples-Jones likely the primary beneficiaries.

Browns WR Odell Beckham will be excused from practice again on Thursday, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Browns GM Andrew Berry and Beckham's agent are reportedly talking through the situation, but it seems like this is heading toward Beckham getting released. Don't expect OBJ to play vs. the Bengals on Sunday.

Insider Michael Silver reports that Browns HC Kevin Stefanski told his team today that WR Odell Beckham is "essentially not on the team right now." Stefanski didn't reveal much in his press conference, only confirming that Beckham was excused from Wednesday's practice and that the 2 haven't spoken over the past 24 hours. We'll continue to keep an eye on this situation, but it sure seems like Beckham's time with the Browns might be over. His absence would leave Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins and Donovan Peoples-Jones as Cleveland's top 3 WRs. (Peoples-Jones is expected to return to practice from his groin injury today.)

Browns WR Odell Beckham was excused from Wednesday's practice, USA Today's Josina Anderson reports. We have no other details at this point. Beckham was the subject of trade rumors leading up to Tuesday's deadline. And his father made social-media waves by posting a video of plays when QB Baker Mayfield missed or failed to throw to an open Beckham. We'll see where this goes. HC Kevin Stefanski is scheduled to address the media at 1 pm ET today.

Browns WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. He was limited in practice all week. With both Beckham and his QB playing through shoulder injuries, he’s a shaky fantasy option.

Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. "should be good to go today" vs. the Steelers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Beckham is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, but he played through it in last Thursday night's win over Denver.

Browns WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He was limited in practice all week. We’re expecting Beckham to play, but he’s a shaky fantasy option with both he and his QB dealing with shoulder injuries.

The forecast for tonight's Broncos-Browns game calls for sustained winds up to 20 mph and gusts around 30 mph. That's enough to impact some longer throws and kicks -- and another reason to expect this to be a low-scoring game.

Browns WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is active for tonight's game against the Broncos. It's a surprise after reports over the past 24 hours that Beckham has a Grade 3 AC joint injury and was facing an "uphill battle" to play tonight. He might be limited and is at risk of re-injuring that shoulder.
