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.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney led the team in receiving catching five of seven targets including a TD. With QB Kirk Cousins throwing four TDs on the day, Mooney was the beneficiary of that strong passing attack from Cousins.
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield completed 37-of-50 passes for 330 yards and three TDs. He also had two INTs on the day, but showed that he can produce even without WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Packers TE Tucker Kraft caught all three targets today for 78 yards and a TD, leading the team in receiving yards. Kraft continues to be a consistent option in the Packers passing game and has solidified his role.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs ran the ball 25 times for 127 yards and 2 TDs over the Jaguars. With QB Jordan Love being knocked out with a groin injury, Jacobs carried the offense in the win.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 21-of-32 passes for 308 yards and 2 TDs as well as 1 INT. He also ran for an additional TD in the game. The Jaguars played a close game, but were unable to seal the victory.
Titans RB Tony Pollard had a solid day on the ground rushing 20 times for 94 yards while addding three receptions on four targets for 23 yards. He was effective, but the Titans got down early and had to rely on the pass more than usual.
Lions RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combined with 20 carries for 160 yards and two TDs on the ground. Montgomery, who only had 33 rushing yards, also added a TD pass. Both also had one reception in the game.
Lions QB Jared Goff had as many incompletions as TDs in the Lions domination of the Titans. He completed 12-of-15 passes for 85 yards and three TDs.
Saints RB Kendre Miller was knocked out of Sunday's game vs. the Chargers with a hamstring injury. It's unclear if this is the same hamstring that cost him all of August and the first six games of the season. Miller had already emerged as New Orleans' No. 2 RB, but he simply has not been able to stay healthy since arriving in Round 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran for 108 yards on 22 carries in Sunday's win over the Bengals. And he was close to making it an even bigger game.
49ers TE George Kittle (foot) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, and there never seemed to be much concern about his availability for this one. If you were waiting on Kittle, get him in your starting lineup.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (illness, wrist) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. He was hospitalized on Monday with fluid in his lungs but was able to get in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer said this morning that Samuel is “good to go” for tonight’s game, so it sounds like he won’t be on a snap count.
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle (illness) will be inactive for tonight's game vs. the 49ers, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. That'll leave the backfield to Dalvin Cook, Ezekiel Elliott, and Hunter Luepke. Cook is the best fantasy bet if you were planning to start Dowdle, but it's a backfield to avoid if possible.
There’s "optimism" that Packers QB Jordan Love avoided a long-term groin injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Love is set for additional testing on Monday to get a better look at the damage. We should get a timeline for his return then. It's worth noting that the Packers have a Week 10 bye, although Love will surely play in next Sunday's big game against the Lions if he's able.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle "became sick upon arriving" at the stadium for tonight's game and is now questionable.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor showed no ill effects from his high-ankle sprain in his return on Sunday. He carried 20 times for 105 yards (5.3 YPC) and a TD against a Texans defense that entered allowing just 4.0 yards per carry to RBs. Taylor had four runs of 10+ yards, including a long of 28. He also had a 12-yarder called back by a holding penalty. Taylor handled all 20 RB carries in this one, although he was targeted on just one of QB Anthony Richardson's 32 passes.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray tallied 307 yards and 2 TDs on 26-of-36 passing in a Week 8 win over Miami. He didn’t account for a turnover and avoided a sack for the third straight game.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith led the team in targets (7), receptions (6), and receiving yards (85) in Sunday's 20-point victory at Cincinnati. The big strike came late in the third quarter, when Smith snagged a 45-yard pass in the end zone. WR A.J. Brown trailed just behind Smith with 5 receptions for 84 yards on 6 targets. TE Grant Calcaterra was the only other Eagle to catch more than one pass (3-58 on 3 targets).
Packers HC Matt LaFleur admitted after Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars that there's a "high level of concern" about QB Jordan Love's groin injury. "I think everybody could see him struggling to move around," LaFleur added. "It got to a point where we didn't feel like, and he didn't feel like, he could protect himself." QB Malik Willis played well in relief of Love to get Green Bay the win today, completing 4 of 5 passes for 56 yards and a score and running 4 times for 23 yards. Willis went 2-0 as the Packers' starter earlier this season, totaling 324 yards and two TDs passing and 114 yards and a score rushing. Willis finished QB22 and QB6 in fantasy points those weeks. He'll at least be an option in 2-QB leagues vs. the Lions next week if Love misses. We should get an update on Love within the next 24 hours.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts ran for 3 TDs in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Bengals. Hurts scored from 1 yard out in the second quarter and fourth quarter, with a 7-yard TD run early in the third. He totaled a mere 37 yards on 10 rushes for the game. Hurts also threw for 236 yards and a TD (45 yards to WR DeVonta Smith) on 16-of-20 passing.
