        Eric Saubert Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        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.

        The Seahawks have released TE Noah Fant. He spent the past three years with the team after arriving from Denver in the 2022 Russell Wilson trade. Seattle exercised the option on Fant's rookie contract for 2023 and then signed him to a two-year, $21 million contract ahead of last season. The release frees up $9 million in non-guaranteed money under Seattle's 2025 salary cap.

        49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Kittle will have a “realistic chance” to make it back for Week 12. His absence today leaves Eric Saubert as San Francisco’s lead TE. He’d be a desperation fantasy play. RB Christian McCaffrey and WRs Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall should pick up extra targets with Kittle out.

        49ers TE George Kittle is "day to day" with a sprained foot, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. It sounds like Kittle has a decent chance to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys, but we'll keep a close eye on him this week. TE Eric Saubert caught both of his targets for 41 yards as San Francisco's lead TE when Kittle missed Week 3.

        49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He didn't seem close to playing in this one after experiencing hamstring soreness starting on Thursday. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 4's game against the Patriots. Eric Saubert figures to operate as San Francisco's lead TE tomorrow, but he'd be a desperation fantasy play.

        49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. Kittle showed up on Thursday with a sore hamstring and missed the final two practices of the week. The Niners will be down Kittle, RB Christian McCaffrey, and WR Deebo Samuel on Sunday. They’ll need to lean on RB Jordan Mason and WR Brandon Aiyuk. WR Jauan Jennings should also see a boosted role. TE Eric Saubert looks like the Kittle replacement but would be a desperation fantasy play. The 30-year-old owns 38 career catches.

        Niners TE George Kittle missed practice with hamstring tightness Thursday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the TE's status for Sunday's game against the Rams "is in question."

        The Dolphins signed TE Tyler Kroft. He joins one of the weakest TE rooms in the NFL alongside Durham Smythe and Eric Saubert. It gives Kroft a chance to find playing time, but he's still not an exciting fantasy pick. The 30-year-old has only once reached 200 receiving yards in a season and never topped 404. And HC Mike McDaniels' Dolphins targeted TEs on only 12.8% of their passes last year -- well below the league-wide average of 20.3%.

        Broncos TE Greg Dulcich managed just 1 catch for 11 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. He ranked 2nd on the team in routes, according to Pro Football Focus, trailing only WR Jerry Jeudy. Yet Eric Tomlinson led Denver TEs in targets (3), catches (3) and yards (28) and snared the team's only TD reception. He did so despite running only 6 total routes, 22 fewer than Dulcich and 12 fewer than TE Eric Saubert. Jeudy led the team in targets (8), receptions (7) and yards (76). QB Brett Rypien totaled 197 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT on 21-of-26 passing.
