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.
Bills QB Josh Allen had the highlight of the game throwing a pass to Amari Cooper who lateraled it back to Allen for the TD. He got the very rare double TD with a pass and receiving TD (but no catch). Allen ended completing 13-of-17 for 148 yards and two TDs. He also ran for an additional TD.
49ers QB Brock Purdy only threw for 94 yards in the 49ers loss against the Bills. He also turned the ball over on a fumble. Purdy was not comfortable in the pocket and could not get anything going in the passing game.
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III dominated RB carries 16-4 in Sunday's win over the Jets. But he ran even with Zach Charbonnet on pass plays. The No. 2 back matched Walker at 12 pass routes and 3 targets. Charbonnet also turned 2 receptions into 13 yards and took his 4 carries for 28 yards and a TD. Walker ran for 49 yards (3.1 per rush) and lost 3 yards on his 2 receptions.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey exited in the second quarter of Sunday night's game vs. the Bills with an apparent right leg injury. He went down on his own with no contact. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: McCaffrey is officially questionable to return with a knee injury.
Update: McCaffrey won't return, HC Kyle Shanahan said in an interview before the second half started.
Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson managed just 3 receptions for 28 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. His 6 targets tied for second on the team, though, and constituted 19.4% of Sam Darnold's total pass attempts. Hockenson also ranked third among Vikings in routes, running one on 72% of Darnold's dropbacks.
Seahawks QB Geno Smith threw for just 206 yards and 1 TD in Sunday's win over the Jets. His team netted only 259 yards, benefiting from DL Leonard Williams' 92-yard INT return for a TD in the middle of the second quarter.
Rams WR Demarcus Robinson suffered a hand injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game vs. the Saints and did not return. We should get an update on his status on Monday.
Panthers WR Adam Thielen led the team catching eight of 10 targets for 99 yards and a TD in his second game back from injury. It was a solid day for the Panthers WRs with Xavier Legette catching four of eight targets for 53 yards and David Moore catching five of nine targets for 40 yards.
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving ran the ball 25 times for 152 yards and a TD. He also caught three passes for 33 yards. All of this despite a hip injury at the end of the first half that left him questionable to return. He did return and dominated the Panthers.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans caught eight of 12 targets for 118 yards and a TD. Though QB Baker Mayfield left briefly with an ankle issue, he was able to return and continue to feed Evans the ball.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard only rushed 12 times for 43 yards. Rookie RB Jonathon Brooks increased his output from last week rushing six times for 18 yards. Hubbard didn’t have a target in the game and ceded passing work to Brooks who caught three passes for 23 yards.
Panthers QB Bryce Young had the best game of his career completing 26-of-46 for 298 yards and a TD. He also ran for 17 yards and another TD. With little run support to help, Young carried the Panthers to Overtime and a near victory.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens and is officially questionable to return. He caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a score before exiting. We'll update Goedert's status when we know more.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bills. He had a good week by all accounts, progressing to a full practice on Friday. There’s still elevated risk to using Purdy in fantasy lineups with the throwing shoulder issue, though. And the spot is tough against the Bills’ ninth-ranked QB defense in wintery Buffalo. Purdy is not a recommended QB1 play – but his return is good news for San Francisco’s skill-position players. QB Brandon Allen is inactive as the emergency third QB tonight, leaving QB Josh Dobbs as the backup.
Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the 49ers. He was limited in practice all week but will now shoot for a Week 14 return. Buffalo will roll with WRs Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Curtis Samuel, and Mack Hollins tonight.
Saints TE Taysom Hill was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Rams with an apparent left knee injury. He had five catches and five carries for 47 total yards before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Eagles with a knee injury. He wasn't targeted before exiting. We'll update Bateman's status when we know. His absence leaves snaps available for WRs Nelson Agholor, Diontae Johnson, and Tylan Wallace.
Vikings QB Sam Darnold struggled for most of Sunday's win over the Cardinals but saved his fantasy line (and the victory) with a pair of TD passes late. Darnold hit TE Johnny Mundt from 4 yards out for a score near the end of the third quarter. He found RB Aaron Jones for a 5-yard TD late in the fourth to take the lead for good. Darnold finished the game with 235 yards, 2 TDs, 5 sacks taken but no turnovers.
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield suffered an apparent ankle injury on a sack in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He was down for a couple of minutes but eventually walked off under his own power. We'll update Mayfield's status when we know more. QB Kyle Trask has replaced Mayfield.
Update: Mayfield returned after missing just two snaps.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones carried just five times for 22 yards and added 3 receptions for a mere 6 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Fortunately, his final catch went for a 5-yard, game-winning TD to save an otherwise brutal fantasy line.
