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.
ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that he'd be "surprised" if Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) played against the Saints this weekend. "The impression I get from talking to people about this situation is that the Eagles believe they will have Hurts back before their first playoff game, but they still aren't sure about the extent to which the injury will affect him once he does return," Graziano adds. We'll get Philadelphia's first practice report of the week this afternoon. QB Gardner Minshew certainly played well enough in last week's loss to the Cowboys to instill confidence in the Eagles.
QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is now more likely to play vs. the Saints next weekend after the Eagles' loss in Dallas, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Philly still needs 1 more win to lock up the top seed in the NFC. "My understanding is that there's a real chance Jalen Hurts, who's considered day-to-day with this injury, pushes to play" against New Orleans, Rapoport says. We'll track Hurts' status throughout this coming week.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' status for Week 17 is uncertain. Hurts is dealing with an SC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, per Schefter. Whether he plays vs. the Saints next weekend will depend on how that shoulder injury progresses, as well as where the Eagles stand in the playoff race. "If the Eagles can win Saturday in Dallas, they would not need to risk Hurts next week against the Saints," Schefter writes. "But if they lose Saturday, Hurts will push to play against New Orleans even if he is not fully healthy, as is expected to be the case, according to sources." We'll keep an eye on this, but fantasy owners should at least be preparing to be without Hurts again in Week 17.
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni announced on Thursday morning that QB Garnder Minshew will start Week 16's game vs. the Cowboys on Saturday. Jalen Hurts (shoulder) did not practice Tuesday or Wednesday and will now have some time to heal further. The Cowboys' defense ranks as the 3rd-toughest matchup for opposing QBs in adjusted fantasy points allowed this season. We don't consider Minshew a ceiling play in fantasy lineups this week, but he could still be considered a streaming option/QB2 in superflex leagues.
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni isn't ready to rule out QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) for Saturday's game vs. the Cowboys. "There’s a chance he could play this week," Sirianni said. "He’s one of the toughest guys I know. His body is not like yours or mine. He heals fast. I will not rule him out. I will not put a timetable on him. We’ll see what happens." We're still not expecting Hurts to play this weekend. And neither are the oddsmakers, considering the Eagles are 5.5-point underdogs as of Tuesday afternoon. We'll continue to keep a close eye on the situation, but Hurts owners should be lining up an alternative for Week 16.
A source tells The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts could miss the next 2 games with his sprained right shoulder. McLane confirms that the Eagles don't consider Hurts' injury a long-term issue. The Eagles need to win just 1 of their final 3 games to lock up the NFC's #1 seed, so they're not desperate at this point to get Hurts back out there. Fantasy owners need to prepare to be without him for both Week 16 and 17.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' "status is in doubt" for Saturday's game against the Cowboys after he sprained his right (throwing) shoulder in Sunday's win over the Bears. Hurts sustained the injury in the 3rd quarter, which means he played through it the rest of the way. (Hurts didn't miss a snap.) We'll certainly be watching his status closely this week. If Hurts can't go, it'll be QB Gardner Minshew.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts struggled a little passing in Sunday's win at Chicago. He threw 2 INTs in a game for the 1st time this season and went without a TD pass for the 1st time since Week 5. Hurts made up for that with 3 rushing scores, though, leading the team with 61 yards on 17 carries. He also wound up throwing for 315 yards. He'll continue to lead fantasy football lineups the next 2 weeks through matchups with the Cowboys and Saints.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for 217 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Giants, adding 77 yards and another score on the ground. Hurts generated most of his passing production in the 1st half, attempting just 7 throws after the break. It was Hurts' 2nd straight game with 3+ TDs and 3rd such game among the past 5.
QB Jalen Hurts and the Eagles couldn't find much running room Sunday against the Titans' league-leading rush defense. But he dominated Tennessee through the air. Hurts threw for 380 yards and 3 TDs on 29-of-39 passing. He hit WR A.J. Brown for 2 scores and WR Devonta Smith for the other. Hurts' only worrisome remaining matchup lies in Week 16 at Dallas, which limited him to 182 total yards (and 2 TD passes) in a Week 6 Eagles win.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for just 153 yards in Sunday night's win over the Packers, including TDs to WR A.J. Brown and WR Quez Watkins. Hurts beat his own passing with 157 yards on the ground. It was the 2nd-best fantasy line of a strong fantasy season for Hurts.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts made his fantasy day on the ground in Sunday's win over the Colts. He rushed for 86 yards and a TD, leading the team in yards and carries. He proved just decent passing, completing 18 of 27 throws for 190 yards and a TD. He also took 3 sacks and fumbled twice, losing 1. Hurts threw 16 of his passes toward DeVonta Smith or A.J. Brown, with no other Eagle drawing more than 2 targets.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 21 of 27 passes for 243 yards and 2 TDs in Thursday’s win over Houston. Hurts' scores went to A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert, who led the team with 9 targets. The QB delivered on the efficiency side with a 77.7% completion rate — basically the expectation in a plus matchup. But he wasn’t a fantasy difference-maker with only 23 rushing yards. Philly scored on a pair of runs inside the 5 yard-line and wound up with 29 points on the night. So this wasn’t some concerning performance from the offense overall. With this unit healthy, Hurts will remain a strong QB1 next week vs. Washington.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts went 19 for 28 passing in Sunday's win over the Steelers, compiling 285 yards and 4 TDs. He hit WR A.J. Brown for 3 of those and 54.7% of his passing yardage. WR Zach Pascal snagged the other TD. Hurts gets another upside matchup Thursday night at Houston.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts attempted just 25 passes in Sunday night's win over the Cowboys, completing 15 (60%) for 155 yards and a pair of TDs. He found A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith for the scores. Each wideout caught 5 balls for the game, with Brown tallying 67 yards and Smith 44. TE Dallas Goedert was the only other Eagle to see multiple targets, catching just 2 of his 5 for 22 yards.
