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.
Titans LB Jerome Baker is inactive for today's game against the Bengals. He carried no injury designation into the weekend, so that indicates the veteran is a healthy scratch.
Titans LBs Kenneth Murray and Jerome Baker carry no game designation on the week's final injury report and appear set to return for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Titans LBs Kenneth Murray Jr. and Jerome Baker are both inactive for today's game against the Jaguars. That leaves the team with James Williams and Otis Reese as the expected top two at the position. Williams has yet to play a defensive snap in the pros, and Reese has played just 98 total across two seasons. I won't be projecting either for Week 14 use, because I have no idea what we can expect from them in terms of playing time or production. Rookie Cedric Gray and 29-year-old journeyman Luke Gifford could also factor in. Tennessee will also go without slot CB Roger McCreary but gets CB Chidobe Awuzie back from IR.
The Titans defense gets a high-upside matchup with the Mac Jones-led Jaguars this Sunday, But the unit also has five potential starters questionable, including both starting LBs and a pair of corners. But they also expect to get CB Chidobe Awuzie back from IR. He hasn't played since Week 3 because of a groin injury.
Titans LB Jack Gibbens fractured his right leg in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Gibbens is having surgery on the league today and "faces a four-month recovery."
LB Jerome Baker is a healthy scratch for his first game since the trade to the Titans. He did land on the injury report as questionable but was listed as "not injury related -- rest." (To be fair, it's a long flight from Seattle to Nashville.) That likely means Jack Gibbens starting next to Kenneth Murray, but it's tough to know how much playing time we can expect. After working as a starter for part of last season and playing 54% of snaps in this year's opener, Gibbens totaled just 17 snaps over the past five games before the Ernest Jones trade. I wouldn't recommend using Gibbens in fantasy lineups, but there's some tackle upside for deep formats.
The Seahawks are sending LB Jerome Baker and a fourth-round pick to the Titans for LB Ernest Jones, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Seahawks LB Jerome Baker is inactive for tonight's game against the Lions because of a hamstring injury. He entered the day questionable but managed just one limited practice after missing last week's game. Rookie Tyrice Knight should get a second straight start in his place. Knight played just 57% of snaps a week ago but can be an emergency fill-in for IDP lineups.
Seattle's starting LBs Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker are both active for today's game against the Patriots. Both players turned up questionable but should be ready for regular IDP use in a solid matchup.
The Seahawks have activated LB Jerome Baker and LB Tyrel Dodson from the physically unable to perform list. That should give both players plenty of time to get ready for their anticipated starting roles in a reworked defense.
The Seahawks placed LB Jerome Baker on the active/physically unable to perform list to begin training camp. Baker is still working back from the Week 18 right wrist injury that required surgery. He didn't do much in spring workouts with his new team either.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees) and LB Jerome Baker (knee) are active for tonight's game against the Bills. It's the second straight game for Holland after he returned last week from a four-game absence. Baker missed the past four games with his injury and remained limited in practice this week. We've added him to the Week 18 LB rankings and knocked David Long down.
The Dolphins have placed LB Jerome Baker (knee) on IR. That means he'll miss at least the next four games, which mark the final four weeks in most fantasy football seasons. So feel free to drop Baker, if you haven't done so already. David Long should lead Miami's non-edge LBs in playing time over the next month. LB Duke Riley checked in second after Baker left the Week 13 win over Washington.
Dolphins LB Jerome Baker suffered an MCL injury in Sunday's win over Washington. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Baker's considered "week to week at this point." That's not generally the way you describe a guy with a good chance to play this week. Assume Baker won't be available for next Monday's matchup with Tennessee. David Long led Miami LBs in playing time against Washington, with Duke Riley following. The team will also reportedly host LB Reuben Foster for a workout Wednesday, another bad sign for Baker's outlook.
