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 Cardinals are "planning to start" QB Jacoby Brissett vs. the Packers tomorrow, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's the vibe we've gotten all week, with Murray remaining limited in practice. Brissett played well against a banged-up Colts secondary last week, throwing for 320 yards and two TDs. But he faces a much tougher test this weekend vs. the Packers. Brissett is just a low-end QB2 in fantasy lineups, although he doesn't project as a huge downgrade from Murray for WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Trey McBride
TE Trey McBride caught a season-high 8 receptions for 72 yards and a TD in Arizona's 31-27 Week 6 loss to the Colts. The TD was McBride's second of the season, and came from 1-yard out, one play after he caught a 4-yard pass and 2nd and goal.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) is inactive for today’s game against the Colts. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Saturday night that Murray could miss more than just this game with a mid-foot sprain. We’ll track his status this coming week. QB Jacoby Brissett gets the start today. He’s a downgrade for the offense, but TE Trey McBride remains a must-start, while WR Marvin Harrison Jr. remains a fine lower-end fantasy play.
A final decision on QB Kyler Murray (foot) will come on Sunday, but the Cardinals are "preparing" for QB Jacoby Brissett to start vs. the Colts, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Murray is dealing with a mid-foot sprain that kept him to just a limited practice on Friday this week. "There is a possibility Murray is out more than this week, as pushing it can cause an aggravation," Rapoport adds.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the Colts. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. HC Jonathan Gannon said Friday morning that the team needs to see how Murray progresses over the next couple of days before determining his availability for this one. His rushing ability figures to be impacted if he does suit up, which would leave Murray as a shaky Week 6 fantasy play. QB Jacoby Brissett would draw the start if Murray can’t go. It’d be a significant downgrade for WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Trey McBride.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He played through this injury last week but seems to be in real danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Colts. We'll see if Murray practices on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury report. If Murray can't go, Arizona would turn to QB Jacoby Brissett. He started the first five games of last season for the Patriots, completing just 58.5% of his passes at 5.2 yards per attempt. Brissett would be a tangible downgrade for WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and TE Trey McBride.
If you drafted Cardinals TE Trey McBride anywhere inside the first three rounds, then his five-game start might feel a little disappointing. McBride sits tied for seventh in PPR points per game so far, matching the one drive that George Kittle played in the opener before landing on IR with a hamstring injury. Sunday's loss to the Titans marked McBride's low point -- literally. It was the first time this season he finished a game with fewer than 12 PPR points. But McBride still managed on solid 5 catches (tied for the team lead) on a team-high seven targets. He has caught 5+ balls in every game ... and continued to have trouble finding the end zone.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride has been signed to a contract extension making him the highest paid TE in the NFL. He inked a four-year, $76 million deal with $43 million guaranteed. McBride caught 111 passes on 147 targets last season for 1,146 yards and two TDs. Entering his fourth year, McBride's elite TE ability is a key part of the Cardinals offense.
An extension for TE Trey McBride is "high on the Arizona Cardinals' to-do list this offseason," per ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. No surprise there. McBride set clear career highs in 2024 with 147 targets, 111 catches, and 1,146 yards. 2025 is currently set to be a contract season.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride racked up 12 receptions for 96 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He tied WR Marvin Harrison Jr. for the team target lead while collecting 12 catches for the second straight game. That followed games of 3 and 4 receptions the previous two weeks.
The Cardinals offense was a fantasy disappointment for most of Sunday, but TE Trey McBride caught 12 of 15 targets for 133 yards. With one of the best fantasy schedules remaining for a TE, he is locked in as a top option the rest of the way.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride was the Cardinals' leading receiver catching all 8 targets for 96 yards. With Marvin Harrison Jr. leaving the game with a concussion, McBride became the first option for QB Kyler Murray
Despite a late "questionable" tag ahead of Sunday's win over the 49ers, Cardinals TE Trey McBride played a full snap allotment and led the team in targets. McBride played more snaps than any non-QB Arizona skill-position player. He also drew two more targets than any teammate (9), snagged a team-high 6 receptions, and finished with 53 yards.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He cleared concussion protocol by Friday but was added to the injury report on Saturday with this rib. We still don't have any details on the injury, but McBride is safe to get into fantasy lineups if you were waiting on him.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (ribs) is expected to play vs. the 49ers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. McBride cleared concussion protocol by Friday but was added to the injury report on Saturday as questionable. We still don't have any details on the rib injury. But, barring any further reports of a limited snap count today, he should stay in fantasy lineups.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (ribs) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers. This rib issue was not on Friday's final injury report, so it's unclear how or when the injury occurred. We'll look for an update on McBride's status on Sunday morning. Cardinals-49ers doesn't kick off until 4:05 pm ET.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. He’ll play his usual role in that one and will get a matchup upgrade if LB Fred Warner (questionable, ankle) is not able to play.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll return for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. San Francisco sits eighth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to TEs but could be without LB Fred Warner on Sunday.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That means he's made some progress through the protocol but still has multiple stages to pass. We're tentatively expecting McBride to make it back for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray underwhelmed with 142 passing yards and 1 TD in Week 4. He added only 3 rushing yards in a blowout loss to Washington. Prior to Sunday, Murray hit 20 rushing yards in eight straight going back to last season.
