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.
Bengals RB Chase Brown (quad) is active for tonight's game vs. the Giants. He was listed as questionable but never seemed to be in danger of missing this one. Brown figures to continue splitting backfield work with Zack Moss tonight.
Lions Edge Aidan Hutchinson left in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Cowboys after suffering a serious left leg injury. Replay pretty clearly shows a fracture in the lower leg. We'll see about the damage beyond that. But it seems pretty safe to assume Hutchinson will miss the rest of the season.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson was less terrible than previous weeks in Sunday's loss to the Eagles but continued his run of lackluster production. He went a solid 16-of-23 passing (69.6% completions) at 7.3 yards per pass attempt. But his 168 passing yards marked a sixth straight game south of 200. And he boosted another struggling opponent pass rush.
Broncos CB Pat Surtain II left Sunday's game agains the Chargers with a concussion. He entered the week outside the top 70 DBs in fantasy points per game, so there's not much IDP impact here. But missing their lead corner obviously hurts a Denver team D that has ranked among the best in fantasy so far. His absence would help Saints WRs in their Week 7 matchup if Surtain remains out. Of course, Chris Olave sustained a concussion Sunday as well. We'll see about both situations as the week goes on.
RB Jerome Ford left Sunday's loss at Philadelphia early. That left the backfield to Pierre Strong and D'Onta Foreman. Strong trailed Foreman 10-8 in carries but beat his teammate in rushing yards: 43 to 31. Strong also ran 17 pass routes vs. Foreman's six but edge him by just one target (3-2). Strong took 2 receptions for 35 yards. Foreman caught both of his targets for 16 yards.
Bears CB Kyler Gordon left Sunday's win over the Jaguars early with a hamstring injury and was ruled out before the end. He gets a Week 7 bye to heal up. We'll watch for details on his expected return timeline.
Titans QB Will Levis completed 16 of 27 passes for 95 yards and a TD. He also threw an interception late in the game. It was another disappointing performance for Levis.
Titans RB Tony Pollard performed for fantasy managers again this week. He rushed 17 times for 93 yards and a TD. He also caught three passes for -5 yards. Pollard handled 71% of the Titans RB touches. He also sprung a huge impact block in the game.
Colts WR Josh Downs caught 7 of 9 targets for 66 yards and a TD. With QB Joe Flacco getting the start, Downs put up another solid fantasy performance.
Commanders DT Jonathan Allen left Sunday's loss to the Ravens with a pectoral injury. He was ruled out before the end of the game, which doesn't seem like a good sign for his return timeline. We'll watch for further details. Phidarian Mathis and second-round rookie Jer'Zhan Newton entered the day third and fourth in playing time among Washington DTs.
Patriots RB Antonio Gibson did not perform as the starter replacing RB Rhamondre Stevenson. Gibson rushed the ball 13 times for 19 yards. He caught three passes for 24 yards as well. Stevenson may be back for the Patriots next game.
Texans RB Joe Mixon returned from his ankle injury with a big game rushing 13 times for 102 yards and a TD. He also caught 2 of 3 targets for 30 yards including a second TD. Mixon took 13 of the 25 RB touches in the game due to the blowout
Texans WR Tank Dell caught 6 of 7 targets for 77 yards and finally caught a TD with WR Nico Collins out. As long as Collins is on the sideline, Dell should be a solid fantasy contributor.
Patriots QB Drake Maye threw a beautiful pass for his first NFL TD, completing 20 of his 33 passes for 243 yards for 3 TDs and 2 INTs. He also ran for 38 yards on 5 carries. Maye played within structure to overcome a battered offensive line.
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
Packers QB Jordan Love ended the game completing 22 of 32 passes for 258 yards. Love was on fire in the first half throwing 4 TDs and only 1 INT.
Packers WR Christian Watson caught three passes on 4 targets for 68 yards for a TD. Coming back from his ankle injury. He made an impact in the Packers’ win against the Cardinals.
Falcons LB Nate Landman is active for today's game against the Panthers. He hasn't played since Week 1, landing on IR with quad and calf injuries. He could be in for full playing time today, though, in a defense missing LB Troy Andersen (knee).
Bears WR Keenan Allen scored a pair of TDs in Sunday’s win over Jacksonville. The scores marked his first as a Bear.
Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Packers and has been ruled out. It's Harrison's second documented concussion, with the first coming in December 2022 at Ohio State. We'll track Harrison's progress through the protocol this coming week.
