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.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett posted a modest 4-75 receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Giants. But that was enough to lead the team in receiving yards and tie for second in receptions, behind RB Kenneth Walker III. Lockett's 6 targets trailed Walker (8) and WRs D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (7 apiece). Metcalf posted a 4-55 receiving line. Smith-Njigba went 4-31-1.
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III endured a weak fantasy day in Sunday's loss to the Giants. It would have been much worse without a big receiving effort, though. Walker made a team-leading 7 receptions on a team-high 8 targets. He tallied 57 receiving yards, to go with 5 carries for 19 yards.
Seahawks S Julian Love (thigh) is active for today's game against the Giants, as expected. Edge Boye Mafe (knee) is inactive. It'll be his second straight game missed. Missing Mafe doesn't hurt Seattle as a team D play in a high-upside matchup, though.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf snagged 7 receptions for 104 yards in Monday night's loss at Detroit. He narrowly missed scoring a second-quarter TD from 30 yards out, going down just short of the goal line to set up a short Kenneth Walker scoring run. Metcalf also lost a key first-half fumble, though. His 12 targets tied Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the team lead on a high-volume passing night (56 team attempts). This marked Metcalf's third straight game with more than 100 yards.
Seahawks QB Geno Smith posted another strong fantasy line in Monday night's loss to the Lions. Even with just 1 TD pass, he finished QB5 for the week (depending on your scoring) by throwing for 395 yards on 38-of-56 passing and rushing for 38 yards. Smith now sits sixth among QBs in fantasy points through four weeks.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant rebounded in the wrong direction Monday night against the Lions. After 6 receptions for 60 yards in the Week 3 win over the Dolphins, he drew just 2 targets in the loss at Detroit. That's especially disappointing when you realize that QB Geno Smith attempted 56 passes on the night. Fellow TEs A.J. Barner and Pharaoh Brown matched Fant's 2 targets, and Barner caught Smith's lone TD pass in the game.
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III took control of the backfield in his return from an oblique injury Monday night. He claimed 86% of the team's RB carries in the loss to the Lions, rushing for 80 yards and 3 TDs on his 12 carries. RB Zach Charbonnet matched Walker with 5 targets but also trailed him in pass routes, 32-19, according to Pro Football Focus.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) is not listed on the final injury report for Monday night's game vs. the Lions. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Saturday. It looks like Walker is ready to take back over as Seattle's feature back. He played 66% of the offensive snaps in the opener, handling 20 carries and three targets.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) put in a limited practice on Thursday. We're tentatively projecting him to return for Monday night's game against the Lions, but we'll keep you updated on his progress leading up to that one.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf delivered a big Week 3 on the back of a 71-yard deep ball TD. He finished the day with 4 grabs for 105 yards on a 17.6% target share.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for Week 4. Walker’s absence today again leaves RB Zach Charbonnet in a workhorse role. He played 95% of Seattle’s offensive snaps last week, handling all 14 RB carries and five targets.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Dolphins. He returned to a limited practice on Friday but is a long shot to be ready for Sunday. That’ll leave RB Zach Charbonnet in a workhorse role again. He played 95% of Seattle’s offensive snaps last week, handling all 14 RB carries and five targets. Charbonnet sits high in the Week 3 RB Rankings.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hand) returned to a full practice on Thursday. It's confirmation that he'll be ready for his usual role vs. the Dolphins this weekend. Metcalf sits 14th in our Week 3 WR Rankings.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hand) did not practice on Wednesday. We've seen nothing to suggest that he's in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins, but his status bears monitoring over the next few days.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Sunday that Seattle will take "extreme caution" with Walker and that he could be looking at a multi-week absence. We're projecting RB Zach Charbonnet to again be a workhorse back in this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins.
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet started at RB and ended with a final stat line of 14 rushes for 38 yards and a TD. He also added five catches on five targets for 31 yards. He filled in for the injured RB Kenneth Walker III and did not have a great rushing performance only averaging 2.7 yards per carry, but found the end zone and had success catching the ball.
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a breakout performance in Week 2 against the Patriots with a final stat line of 12 catches on 16 targets for 117 yards. JSN was used mostly as a slot WR, but had a few catches on the outside as well. After a disappointing Week 1, JSN bounced back in a big way leading the team in targets.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf ended with a final stat line of 10 catches on 14 targets for 129 yards and a TD. He caught the 56-yard TD in the first quarter and was heavily involved in the Seahawks game plan after a disappointing Week 1. Metcalf still looked to be the primary X WR for the Seahawks and should continue to be used a ton.
Seattle's starting LBs Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker are both active for today's game against the Patriots. Both players turned up questionable but should be ready for regular IDP use in a solid matchup.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots after missing practice all week. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 3. RB Zach Charbonnet should control backfield work today and is a solid RB2 in fantasy lineups.
