Is Odell Beckham Jr. playing Week 8?

Beckham (shoulder) was, however after playing in Week 7 regardless of failing to practice all week, it's most likely OBJ is more "probable" than "doubtful" for Week 8's video game versus Pittsburgh.

It's been a lackluster season thus far for Beckham, and also whether that's as a result of injury or something else, it's clear fantasy proprietors can't trust him as anything greater than a flex. We understand there's always big-play upside below, however with Jarvis Landry as well as Nick Chubb likewise healthy and balanced, OBJ is merely a complementary item in a run-heavy crime.

Smith (shoulder) exited last week's game early, but he and is "questionable" for Sunday's video game against the Chargers.

It's constantly difficult to inform who's in fact at risk of missing out on ready the Pats, so fantasy owners will certainly have to wait this one out up until the late afternoon. Offered the highly favorable competition and also Smith's TD upside, a minimum of a couple of dream proprietors will have him penciled right into their beginning schedules. That's dangerous, but if you do, have a back-up option from the late-afternoon/prime-time video games prepared to go. Dan Arnold (@ Seahawks), Tyler Conklin (vs. Cowboys), and also Evan Engram (@ Chiefs) are your best, widely offered options.
