Shark Bites

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.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham led the Ravens with 97 yards in Week 14. He set a season-high with 10 targets while finding the end zone on a deep ball. Baltimore went pass-heavy in this one, with Lamar Jackson attempting 43 passes in a high-scoring, OT win. Still, you have to be encouraged by OBJ’s 23.2% target share. Week 15 brings a banged up Jacksonville secondary, followed by a pair of tougher matchups (49ers, Dolphins).

Ravens WR Odell Beckham is not listed on the Week 14 injury report. That's notable after he played just 32% of Baltimore's offensive snaps back in Week 12 -- presumably because of a shoulder injury. He's evidently much healthier coming off the bye week and figures to see a boost in playing time vs. the Rams on Sunday. Consider Beckham a WR4 with upside for that one.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is active for tonight's game vs. the Chargers. Beckham was listed as a full participant in Friday’s practice but admitted afterward that he’ll be playing through pain tonight. There’s also likely re-injury risk if he takes a shot or lands hard on that injured shoulder. Consider Beckham a risk/reward WR4 at less than 100% in this plus matchup.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers. He said Friday that he'll be a game-time decision and will be playing through pain if he does suit up. But Beckham was listed as a full participant in Friday's practice, so we're expecting him to play. He'd be a risk/reward fantasy start against the league’s 29th-ranked WR defense.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. We'll see what he does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report for Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers. Baltimore's WR corps is in flux with Zay Flowers dealing with a hip injury.
