Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) remained limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all last week before missing the Jaguars game. Richardson's status for this weekend's game vs. the Titans remains uncertain. We'll track his progress over the next few days.
Colts WR Michael Pittman is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with a back injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Pittman didn't practice on Wednesday, so this injury presumably occurred in the Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. We'll look for more details on the injury and Pittman's timetable for return, but Schefter adds that, "injured reserve is an option."
Colts QB Joe Flacco threw for 359 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars, filling in for the injured Anthony Richardson. He completed 33 of 44 passes, took 4 sacks, avoided INTs, but lost a fumble. Flacco hit WR Michael Pittman Jr., WR Alec Pierce, and TE Mo Alie-Cox for scores. He also rushed for 22 yards on three attempts.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. QB Joe Flacco starts in his place. The 39-year-old threw for 168 yards with two TDs and 0 INTs in relief of Richardson last week. And he averaged 323 yards and 2.6 TDs per game across five starts for the Browns last year. Flacco sits well into QB2 range in the Week 5 Rankings, but he’s a significant upgrade for Colts pass catchers.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been downgraded to Doubtful for Sundays game against the Jaguars. QB Joe Flacco will start for the Colts, most likely giving the offense a very different feel and game plan
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears from a source close to Colts QB Anthony Richardson that he's shaping up as a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Jaguars. "He wants to play, but it's a matter of functionality," Fowler adds. "Can he be himself running and throwing 100%? It's not a situation where that oblique injury can worsen, so that's the good news. ... Joe Flacco took a lot of the reps this week ... typically that tells the story." It sure sounds like Fowler believes Flacco is more likely to start against Jacksonville than Richardson. We'll look for further updates on the situation and get Indianapolis' inactives around 11:30 am ET tomorrow.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week.

WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs will get significant boosts up our rankings if Flacco ends up starting.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson (oblique) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That's a good start for his chances of playing vs. the Jaguars this weekend. We'll keep you posted on his progress over the next few days. Richardson will need to be close to 100% to be a viable Week 5 fantasy play, though, considering so much of his value comes from his rushing ability.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson is considered "day to day" with oblique and abdominal strains suffered in the Week 4 win over the Steelers, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "He has a shot to play this week against the Jaguars," Pelissero adds. It's about the best possible news Richardson owners could have hoped for, although if his mobility is at all compromised, it'd take a big bite out of his fantasy value. We'll track Richardson's progress throughout this week. QB Joe Flacco will start if Richardson doesn't. Flacco would be an upgrade for the Colts' pass-catchers.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been diagnosed with a hip pointer, NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports. The "hope" is that Richardson "misses very little or no game action," Wolfe adds.
