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.
Colts RB Zack Moss ran for 74 yards on 15 carries (4.9 per rush) in Sunday's 38-10 loss at the Giants. He clearly led the backfield for the 2nd straight game. RB Jordan Wilkins drew the group's only 2 targets, though, catching both for 14 yards. Moss has averaged 4.3 yards per carry over the past 3 games, following Jonathan Taylor's season-ending injury. He'll close out with an upside matchup against Houston's league-worst RB defense.
Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. drew a team-high 8 targets and caught a team-high 6 passes in Sunday's lopsided loss at the Giants. He managed just 41 yards but secured the team's only TD (from QB Sam Ehlinger). Pittman remains among the top 30 WRs in PPR points per game despite playing with 3 separate (poor) QBs this season. We'll see how Indianapolis addresses that position this offseason, after applying different Band-Aids each of the past 3 years. Pittman heads into the final year of his rookie contract -- and age-26 season -- in 2023. WR Parris Campbell led the team with 52 receiving yards Sunday on 3 catches (6 targets).
Giants RB Saquon Barkley carried just 12 times for 58 yards (4.8 per rush) in Sunday's lopsided win over the Colts. He added 2 catches for minus-5 yards among 4 targets. It was a disappointing finish to the fantasy season for a guy who entered the week 5th among RBs in PPR points per game.
Giants QB Daniel Jones threw for 177 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's 38-10 beatdown of the Colts. He added 91 yards and 2 more scores on the ground. Jones hit WR Richie James and WR Isaiah Hodgins for TDs. James caught all 7 of his team-high 7 targets for a team-leading 76 yards. Hodgins ranked 2nd on the team in targets (5) and receptions (4), totaling 42 yards. TE Daniel Bellinger (3-42) was the only other Giant to catch more than 2 passes. This was Jones' 1st game all season with more than 2 total TDs. The Giants clinched a playoff spot with the victory. We'll see what they have to play for in a Week 18 visit to the Eagles.
Chiefs WR Skyy Moore was knocked out of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos with a hand injury. The rookie caught 3 of 4 targets for 33 yards before exiting in the 2nd half. We'll update his status when we know more.
Cardinals RB James Conner suffered a shin injury in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Falcons and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.
Dolphins QB Teddy Bridgewater left in the 3rd quarter of Sunday’s game at New England. After throwing an INT, Bridgewater hurt a finger while trying to make a tackle. We'll see if he’s able to return in the 4th quarter.
Rams EDGE Leonard Floyd (illness) is active for today's game against the Chargers. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence was pulled late in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Texans. Jacksonville is up 28-3 and will now look ahead to next weekend's game vs. the Titans for the AFC South title. Lawrence played fine but came away with an empty 152-0-1 passing line. QB C.J. Beathard replaced Lawrence.
Rams TE Tyler Higbee (elbow) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He got in just limited practices on Thursday and Friday but never seemed to be in danger of missing this one. See where Higbee lands in the Week 17 TE Rankings.
Packers WR Christian Watson (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in just a limited practice on Friday and was reportedly a game-time decision, so it’s safe to assume that the rookie won’t be at 100%. Consider him a risk/reward WR3.
Seahawks S Ryan Neal (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Jets.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (finger) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He’ll be playing with 10 screws and a plate in the left hand he broke 2 weeks ago. That -- plus the matchup against the Jets' top-ranked WR defense -- leaves Lockett as a risky Week 17 fantasy play.
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. The rookie got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, which is more than he did last week. We’re expecting Walker to play his usual role in this one. RB Travis Homer (ankle) is inactive
Commanders DT Jonathan Allen left in the 1st half of Sunday's game against the Browns with a knee injury and has been ruled out for the day. We'll see about his status heading into Week 18.
Cardinals WR Robbie Anderson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Falcons with a back injury. His absence leaves Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and A.J. Green as Arizona's top 3 WRs.
Update: Anderson has been ruled out.
Colts QB Nick Foles is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Giants with a rib injury. He was in a lot of pain and had to be carted back to the locker room. We'll update his status when we know more. With QB Matt Ryan inactive, QB Sam Ehlinger will replace Foles.
Update: Foles has been ruled out.
Broncos RB Marlon Mack hurt his hamstring in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs and is questionable to return. His absence leaves Denver's backfield to Latavius Murray and Chase Edmonds.
Eagles EDGE Josh Sweat suffered a scary head/neck injury in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game against the Saints. Trainers strapped him to a board and took him off the field on a cart. Sweat did slightly raise a thumb up before reaching the tunnel. We'll watch for updates on his condition. He's obviously out for the rest of Week 17.
The Ravens are being "extra cautious" in continuing to hold QB Lamar Jackson out with his knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The team does expect Jackson back at least for the start of the playoffs, Rapoport adds. We'll continue to monitor Jackson's progress.
