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.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He sought multiple opinions on his injury this week and won’t need surgery "at this point," NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo said Thursday. We’ll see if McLaurin can make it back for Week 5. His absence on Sunday will mean more snaps for WRs Chris Moore, Jaylin Lane, and Luke McCaffrey, but none is a bankable fantasy play.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin doesn't need surgery on his injury "at this point," according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Garafolo described the injury as a "quad, hip, groin," which matches the multitude of body parts we've heard over the last few days. While this is relatively good news for McLaurin, the mystery around this injury has us feeling a bit uneasy. McLaurin is a long shot to play vs. the Falcons on Sunday. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 5. Washington's bye isn't until Week 12.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) missed practice again on Thursday. He's sought multiple opinions on this injury, which we've also heard described as more of a hip flexor issue. Regardless, McLaurin is looking unlikely to play vs. the Falcons this weekend. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is "very much in doubt" for Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Would not be surprised at all if he missed the game," Rapoport adds. McLaurin is still seeking additional opinions on his injury, including from core-muscle expect Dr. William Meyers. "As of now, they believe it's a quad injury. But more tests coming," Rapoport says. We'll look for further details on McLaurin's injury, but he seems unlikely at this point to be ready by Sunday.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons is "uncertain," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. McLaurin is seeking additional opinions on the quad injury he suffered in the Week 3 win over the Raiders. That typically does not bode well for the prognosis, although insider Ben Standig says the second opinion shouldn't "set off any alarms." We should get another update on McLaurin over the next 24 hours, but fantasy owners should at least be lining up other options for Week 4.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin suffered a quad injury in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Commanders QB Marcus Mariota will start this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, HC Dan Quinn said Friday. It's been trending this way most of the week, with Washington erring on the side of caution with QB Jayden Daniels' knee injury. Daniels did return to a limited practice on Friday, which should have him on track to return for Week 4. But it'll be Mariota under center on Sunday, making him an intriguing fantasy spot starter.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) won't practice until Friday at the earliest, HC Dan Quinn said. Quinn added that Daniels had a good rehab session with his knee on Wednesday. But as NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says, "Another sign that Marcus Mariota could very well be starting" vs. the Raiders this weekend.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught 5 of 9 targets for 48 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Packers. It was an underwhelming fantasy outing -- but a step forward from the opener. McLaurin's route rate climbed from 89% in Week 1 to 92% in Week 2. And his target share jumped from 13.3% to 21.4%. The connection between QB Jayden Daniels and McLaurin looked better in this one. The biggest issue was a Packers defense that looks like the best in the league through two games.
The Commanders have agreed to a three-year extension with WR Terry McLaurin. According to multiple reports, the pact will pay him $96 million and put McLaurin under contract through 2028.
The Commanders are activating WR Terry McLaurin from the physically unable to perform list today, which will allow him to practice for the first time since training camp began.
In case you forgot amidst all the training camp buzz and preseason action, Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is still holding out. There have been no positive reports about progress toward a new deal. And OC Kliff Kingsbury says it's time for McLaurin to get on the field.
WR Terry McLaurin has asked the Commanders to trade him, according to multiple reports. This clearly indicates that he's not happy with the pace of negotations on the contract extension he's seeking. McLaurin skipped the first four days of training camp but reported to the team Sunday. He has been on the physically unable to perform list since then, with "an apparent ankle injury suffered last season," ESPN reports. McLaurin took part in spring workouts, so don't buy that explanation.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin has been in search of a new contract, opting to report to training camp instead of continuing his hold out. But, he apparently reported with an ankle injury and will be placed on the PUP list
