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.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 7. We’re expecting WR Tre Harris to step into something close to a full-time role today, although the rookie would be a flier in fantasy lineups. WRs Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen gain target upside with Johnston out.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) is "trending toward" missing today's game vs. the Dolphins, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Johnston was limited in practice all week, so this doesn't look like a multi-week injury. But he should be on fantasy benches for Week 6. Johnston has accounted for 22.0% of Chargers targets, 21.7% of catches, 32.0% of receiving yards, and 50.0% of receiving TDs through five weeks, so this is a big loss. Justin Herbert is moving a couple of spots down the Week 6 QB rankings but remains a solid start against a leaky Miami secondary. WRs Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey should see more volume with Johnston out. Rookie WR Tre Harris has been operating as Los Angeles clear No. 4 WR the last four weeks and is the favorite to soak up most of Johnston's snaps today. He'd be a desperation start in season-long leagues but might be worth stashing in you have a bench spot to play with. Harris is also in play for daily tournament lineups.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (hamstring) has been limited in the first two practices of the week. It's good news that he's been able to get on the field, but his status bears monitoring. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow for this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins. Johnston's absence in that one would likely mean a spike in snaps for rookie WR Tre Harris
Chargers second-round rookie WR Tre Harris opened the year not only trailing the team's top three at the position. He played just five Week 1 snaps vs. 14 for fifth-round classmate KeAndre Lambert-Smith. But that has flipped over the past two weeks, with Harris claiming the No. 4 role in the WR corps. Harris played a season-high 25 snaps in Sunday's win over the Broncos but finished with just one target and no catches.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston took a big hit in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams. He appeared to be unconscious at least briefly. A stretcher was brought out for Johnston, but he was eventually able to walk off the field and get carted to the locker room.
Update: Johnston suffered a concussion and was taken to a hospital as a precaution, HC Jim Harbaugh said after the game.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chargers have signed veteran WR Keenan Allen to a one-year, $8.52 million deal.
Chargers WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith caught both of his targets for 43 yards and a TD in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game against the Lions. The rookie won on a 'go' route down the right sideline early in the first quarter for a 28-yard gain. Then he (literally) left his defender grasping for air on a slant route in the second quarter for a 15-yard TD.
WR Mike Williams has informed the team that he's retiring, according to multiple reports. That ends an eight-year career that spanned three teams. Williams had signed a one-year contract this offseason to return the Chargers. That included just $3 million in salary, but it was all guaranteed. So he appeared on track to play it out. Williams split 18 games between the Jets and Steelers last season but totaled only 21 receptions and 1 TD. The Chargers had placed him on the physically unable to perform list for the start of this year's training camp, though the cause had been vague.
The Athletic's Daniel Popper believes Chargers WR Quentin Johnston "is going to have to earn his roster spot in camp." Popper has Mike Williams and rookie Tre Harris projected to start on the outside, with Ladd McConkey in the slot.
The Chargers selected Mississippi WR Tre Harris with the pick of Round 2 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Harris is a tough cover at 6'3, 210 pounds. A high school QB, Harris transitioned to WR at Louisiana Tech. After a developmental year in 2020, he started the next two seasons, combining for 105-1,4970-14. He led or tied for the team lead in all major receiving categories in 2022. Harris transferred to Ole Miss in 2023, where he flashed big-play potential alongside QB Jaxon Dart. Then, despite injuries limiting him to eight games in 2024, Harris remained dangerous with 7 TDs and 17.2 yards per catch. Harris led the nation with a stunning 5.15 yards per route. He had a 9.23 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 29th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 18.4%, and second among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 89.4. He is currently 23 years old with a Breakout Age of 20.5. He ranked sixth among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 7.49. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Kenny Britt. He brings an all-around skill set that makes him an intriguing option to be an immediate contributor for the Chargers.
