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 WR Josh Downs is considered "week to week" with the shoulder injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Lions and is a "long shot" to play against the Patriots this weekend, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "But the belief is he did not suffer a major injury," Rapoport adds.
Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith caught 9 of 11 targets for 87 yards and 1 score in Sunday's win over New England. Smith now leads all TEs in fantasy points over the past two weeks.
Packers WR Jayden Reed tallied 3 targets and 3 catches on Green Bay’s first drive. But that was it for his offensive involvement, as Jordan Love totaled only 23 passes (13 completions) in a 28-point win.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs collected 3 TDs and 106 rushing yards in a Week 12 blowout of the 49ers. Sunday marked his first game with three scores since Week 7 of 2022.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle went off for 8 catches, 144 yards, and 1 score in a Week 12 win over New England. His 28.4 PPR points marked his highest output since Week 8 of 2022.
Rams WR Demarcus Robinson caught one of the two TD passes Matthew Stafford threw in Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. But that came among just 2 receptions for 15 yards. Robinson's TD also arrived on the first play after CB Isaiah Rodgers entered the game for the Eagles, signaling the Rams were targeting the new guy.
Rams WR Puka Nacua racked up 117 yards on 9 receptions in Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. He has topped 50% playing time in just four games this season. Each of those contests has seen him catch at least seven passes and tally 98+ yards.
Rams QB Matthew Stafford threw for an OK 243 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. But one of those came in garbage time, and he took a season-high-tying 5 sacks. That marks two games of 4+ sacks among the past three.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for a decent 179 yards and 1 TD on just 22 pass attempts in Sunday night's win over the Rams. He added 39 yards on 12 rushing attempts. But Hurts didn't do much to help fantasy lineups, thanks primarily to Saquon Barkley running for 2 TDs and Kenneth Gainwell claiming a third.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran for 255 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday night's win over the Rams. That marked the ninth-largest rushing-yardage total in NFL history. Barkley scored from 70 and 72 yards out, and he added 4-47 receiving on 4 targets.
Cowboys TE Luke Schoonmaker delivered for your fantasy team if you had to start him in Week 12. He tallied 55 yards and a TD on 3 receptions. But his 4 targets marked just a 12.5% share of Cooper Rush's 32 pass attempts. That did at least tie for second on the team, but well behind CeeDee Lamb's lead (12).
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle tied his career high with 22 touches in Sunday's win over the Commanders. He carried 19 times -- second most this season -- and caught all 3 targets. Dowdle tallied 86 yards on the ground (4.5 per carry) and 12 yards receiving (4.0 per catch). He watched the team's only two offensive TDs go elsewhere.
Cowboys QB Cooper Rush threw for 247 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's surprising win at Washington. That's going to land him among the top 12 fantasy QBs for Week 12, a week after he threw for 354 yards and a TD in a loss to Houston (and finished QB17).
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin racked up 102 yards and a TD on 5 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Most of that came on a single play late in the fourth quarter, though. McLaurin caught a pass with 33 seconds left and took it to the end zone from 86 yards out. That means his other 4 catches totaled just 16 yards.
Commanders WR Noah Brown drew a team-high 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He caught six for 71 yards, setting personal season highs in all three categories.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels was on his way to a poor fantasy outing through most of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, but turned it around in the fourth quarter. He wound up with 275 yards and 2 TDs passing, plus 74 yards and another TD on the ground.
Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. led the team with 6 receptions and 96 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions. That accounted for 54.5% of QB Anthony Richardson's completions and 55.8% of his passing yardage for the game. It also marked just the second time all season that Pittman has exceeded 63 yards in a game this season.
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.
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his four game streak of 60+ receiving yards posting six catches on seven targets for 77 yards and a TD. He now has at double digit PPR fantasy points in each of the last four games and 19+ in three straight games. With D.K. Metcalf only ending up with four receptions for 59 yards, JSN’s sophomore breakout continues.
Harrison Jr. had another disappointing game with the whole Cardinals team taking a nosedive against the Seahawks. He only caught three of his six targets for 47 yards.
