Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

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.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry disappointed fantasy managers only carryign the ball 14 times in the Ravens win over the Giants. He totaled only 67 yards and did not find the end zone despite the team scoring five TDs.

Browns RB Nick Chubb broke his left foot in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, HC Kevin Stefanski said afterward. That will end Chubb's 2024 season after just eight games, although it shouldn't threaten his readiness for the start of the 2025 campaign. Of course, it's just another lower-body injury for a guy who's suffered a pair of devastating knee injuries. Chubb turns 29 later this month. His absence leaves Jerome Ford as Cleveland's likely lead back the rest of the way. He averaged 9.6 carries and 4.6 targets across five healthy games without Chubb at the beginning of this season.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson heaved the ball early against the New York Giants, completing 21-of-25 passes for 290 yards and five TDs. He also added 65 rushing yards on six carries.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said after Sunday's win over the Browns that QB Patrick Mahomes is "day-to-day" with his ankle injury. The ankle is not broken, Reid added. It sounds like Mahomes dodged a significant injury, although he has one fewer day to get ready for Saturday afternoon's game vs. Texans. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the coming week. QB Carson Wentz is Kansas City's backup.

Browns WR Jerry Jeudy caught 11 of his 14 targets for 108 yards in the Browns’ loss to the Chiefs today. With WR Cedric Tillman still out, along with TE David Njoku missing the game, Jeudy was again the target hog with a 43.75% target share.

Chiefs RBs Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt had a true 50/50 backfield split with both having 13 carries and one catch in the game. Pacheco totaled 47 yards, while Hunt had 49 yards. Neither had a TD as Xavier Worthy had the only rushing TD for the Chiefs in the game.

Both Browns RBs Jerome Ford and Nick Chubb had nine touches in the loss to the Chiefs. Ford scored the only TD for Cleveland breaking a 62-yard run in the third quarter. He ended with 104 total yards to Chubb’s 41. Chubb left the game with a broken foot, so Ford will become the new lead back.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes left Sunday’s game against the Browns with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of today’s game. Despite throwing two TDs, Mahomes only competed 50% of his passes going 19-for-38 for 159 yards.

Browns QB Jameis Winston was benched in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s matchup with Kansas City. Winston tossed three INTs before departing. Dorian Thompson-Robinson took over in his place.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He's officially questionable to return and has been replaced by QB Carson Wentz. With the Chiefs nursing a 14-point lead, we don't expect to see Mahomes back out there. We'll look for further updates on the ankle injury.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Commanders due to a groin injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Kamara's absence leaves Kendre Miller as New Orleans' lead back.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette injured his groin in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He's officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update on Legette's injury.

Browns RB Nick Chubb suffered a foot injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs and will not return. That leaves the backfield to Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong. D'Onta Foreman is a healthy scratch. We'll update Chubb's status when we know more.

Titans QB Will Levis was benched in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. He completed 8 of 12 passes for 89 yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs. Levis had been playing reasonably well coming off his shoulder injury but has now had two duds in a row against bad Jaguars and Bengals defense. We'll see if Tennessee goes back to Levis next week or rolls with QB Mason Rudolph. Either way, it's a situation to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable, adding risk to a guy who was a low-end PPR option to begin with.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (back, hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. There was optimism about his status throughout the weekend, but it remains unclear how big a workload he’ll handle today. The Bucs might not even know until they see how Irving’s body is holding up once this game gets going. Consider the rookie a risk/reward fantasy start.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. It’ll be his first action since Week 10. Kincaid was a full-go in practice all week but listed as questionable, so he’s probably still not at 100%. Throw in the matchup against the league’s top-ranked TE defense and Kincaid is not a recommended TE1 play today.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He remained limited in practice all week and was listed as questionable, so there’s still some elevated risk here. But if you were waiting on McConkey, get him into fantasy lineups against Tampa Bay’s 24th-ranked WR defense.

2:57pm EST 12/15/24

Colts WR Josh Downs (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. The shoulder is less of a concern than QB Anthony Richardson’s play and the matchup against a Broncos defense ranked sixth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to slot receivers.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens and won't return. He's been replaced by QB Tim Boyle. The Giants can't get to the offseason quickly enough.
