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.
Jets WR Allen Lazard is heading to IR with his chest injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Lazard was already ruled out for tonight's game vs. Houston and will now miss at least another three games. We assume this means the Jets will be hanging on to Mike Williams, who will replace Lazard as the No. 3 WR. Williams, though, can be left on the waiver wire at least until he shows signs of life.
Jets WR Allen Lazard (chest) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Texans. WR Mike Williams, who's gone the way of Jeff Janis, played 36 snaps as the No. 3 WR last week but wasn't targeted by QB Aaron Rodgers.
Jets K Greg Zuerlein will miss Thursday night's game vs. the Texans with a knee injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Perhaps the knee explains Zuerlein's struggles this season. He's connected on just nine of 15 FG attempts through eight games. The Jets signed Ks Riley Patterson and Spencer Shrader to their practice squad. One of them will kick against Houston, but you should avoid the situation in fantasy lineups.
Update: Zuerlein has been placed on IR. He can be dropped from fantasy rosters.
Jets TE Tyler Conklin ranked third on the team in targets (4), receptions (3) and receiving yards (42) in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. He also caught one of Aaron Rodgers' two TD passes.
Jets WR Garrett Wilson went for 113 yards on 5 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. He led the team in both categories and also drew a team-high 8 targets.
Jets RB Braelon Allen carried 12 times for 32 yards and the team's lone rushing TD in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
Jets WR Allen Lazard (chest) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots. Mike Williams figures to step in as the No. 3 WR but would be a desperation fantasy play.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (knee, hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 8 injury report. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but a full participant in Friday’s practice. Rodgers will be fine for Sunday’s plus matchup vs. a Patriots defense he beat for 281 yards and two TDs back in Week 3.
Jets WR Allen Lazard (chest) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. His absence should give Mike Williams a crack at No. 3 WR duties, but he’d still be a desperation fantasy play with WRs Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams likely to dominate targets.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers will be limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring issue, interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said. Ulbrich said Rodgers' hamstring "flared up" in the loss to the Steelers. “I don’t anticipate this affecting him," Ulbrich added. It sounds like Rodgers will be available for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots, but we'll keep an eye on him leading up to that one.
Jets WR Davante Adams wasn’t limited in his first game with the Jets. Coming off a hamstring strain, the veteran played 55 snaps and ran 39 routes – only one fewer than Garrett Wilson. Still, Adams caught only 33% of his targets in Sunday’s blowout loss to Pittsburgh.
Jets RB Breece Hall looked in top form against Pittsburgh, totaling 141 yards on 18 touches. Five of his touches went for at least ten yards.
Jets CB D.J. Reed (groin) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Steelers. That leaves the Jets down two of their top three at the position, with slot CB Michael Carter already out. Good thing for them Pittsburgh only has one WR, and he only tries half the time.
Jets TE Tyler Conklin (hip) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Steelers. He played through this issue last week but registered a season-low 66% route rate. With WR Davante Adams set to make his Jets debut tonight, Conklin figures to have a tough time drawing targets. He’s not a recommended Week 7 fantasy starter.
The Jets and Edge Haason Reddick have worked out an adjusted contract for the rest of 2024, and he'll report to the team Monday morning. That will finally end a holdout that has been going since the Eagles traded Reddick at the beginning of April.
Jets WR Davante Adams (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll make his Jets debut vs. the Steelers on Sunday night. Considering his familiarity with QB Aaron Rodgers, we’re projecting Adams to play close to a full allotment of snaps. He lands inside the top-24 WRs in the Week 7 Rankings.
Jets TE Tyler Conklin (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Steelers. He played through this issue last week, but his route rate sunk to a season-low 66%. He’s also now contending with the addition of WR Davante Adams. Conklin is not a recommended Week 7 fantasy starter.
Jets WR Davante Adams (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Looks like the hamstring healed right up on Adams' trip from Vegas to New York. He'll make his Jets debut on Sunday night vs. the Steelers. See where Adams sits in the Week 7 WR Rankings.
New Jets WR Davante Adams is "planning" to play vs. the Steelers on Sunday night, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see if Adams' (alleged) hamstring injury impacts his practice week. Considering his long history with QB Aaron Rodgers, we'd expect his transition to a new team to be much smoother than it is for most WRs who move in-season. The matchup is tough against Pittsburgh's fourth-ranked WR defense, but Adams will certainly be startable for most fantasy teams.
The Jets will make WR Mike Williams available for trade, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Williams has been running as New York's No. 3 WR and will now be No. 4 on the depth chart with Davante Adams' arrival. Williams hasn't looked 100% recovered from last year's torn ACL, struggling to draw targets or get on the same page as QB Aaron Rodgers. Leaving New York could only be good news for his fantasy value. We'll see if the Jets find a trade partner.
