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.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews didn't catch a pass in the Week 3 win over the Cowboys. His only target came in the fourth quarter and wasn't close to being completed. Andrews played just 33% of Baltimore's offensive snaps and ran four pass routes. There was no word on an injury either during or after the game.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson was dominant against the Raiders with QB Andy Dalton at QB. He had eight receptions on 14 targets for 122 yards and a TD.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews ended with a final stat line of four catches on five targets for 51 yards. He bounced back a bit after Week 1 and had more targets, catches and yards than fellow TE Isaiah Likely.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry led the Ravens backfield again with a final stat line of 18 rushes for 84 yards and a TD. He even added a reception for 12 yards.. Henry got more and more effective as the Raiders defense tired out toward the end of the game.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson ended with a final stat line consistening of 21 completions on 34 passes for 247 yards including a TD and Int. He had 45 yards rushing on five carries as well in the Ravens loss. The Raiders bottled up the Ravens early in the game with no Ravens TD scored in the entire first half. It was a disappointing performance by Jackson and the offense given what looked like a great match-up on paper against the Raiders secondary.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson was only able to bring in two of his six targets for 19 yards in the Panthers 47-10 loss against the New Orleans Saints. He was second on the team in targets behind rookie Xavier Legette.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely was the star of Thursday night's opener vs. the Chiefs. The third-year TE hauled in nine of 12 targets for 111 yards and a score. The targets, catches, and yards all led the team. Likely was especially busy in the fourth quarter, tallying five catches for 73 yards and his TD on an impressive 49-yard catch-and-run. He nearly had a bigger night, catching what appeared to be a game-tying 10-yard score as time expired. But replay revealed that Likely's toe was an inch out of bounds.
Ravens WR Zay Flowers disappointed in the box score in Thursday night's opener vs. the Chiefs, finishing with six catches for 37 scoreless yards. But it was a mostly encouraging outing for his rest-of-season outlook. Flowers ranked second on the Ravens with 10 targets for a 24.4% share. And he had four more targets negated by penalties -- two catches and two pass-interference penalties. Flowers was also wide-open in the back of the end zone for a game-tying 10-yard TD on the game's penultimate play, but QB Lamar Jackson missed him.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry carried five times for 17 yards and the season's first TD in Thursday night's loss to the Chiefs. But Kansas City's defense -- and game script -- limited him to just 29 scoreless yards on eight carries the rest of the way. Baltimore trailed for close to three-quarters of this game, and Henry was regularly pulled in passing situations for RB Justice Hill. Henry failed to catch either of his two targets.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had a huge night on the ground in Thursday's opener vs. the Chiefs, carrying 16 times for 122 yards. It was the third-biggest rushing tally of his carry. Jackson was particularly effective on scrambles, racking up 90 yards on nine attempts. His seven designed carries went for 32 yards. Jackson had an OK night as a passer, throwing for 273 yards, one TD, and 0 INTs on a 63% completion rate and 6.7 yards per attempt. He notably missed a wide-open WR Zay Flowers in the back of the end zone on the penultimate play of the game. Jackson then appeared to connect with TE Isaiah Likely for the game-tying score -- but replay showed that Likely's toe was just barely out of bounds.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews returned to the practice field Friday for the first time since what he called an "extremely scary" car accident 16 days earlier, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports. Andrews said he's not dealing with any injury from the incident and is ready to play in the regular-season opener against the Chiefs.
The Ravens are keeping RB Keaton Mitchell on the physically unable to perform list to begin the regular season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. This merely confirms the expectation, as Mitchell continues to work back from a December ACL tear.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely has had a "fantastic" training camp, HC John Harbaugh said this week. The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec notes that, while TE Mark Andrews leads the team in camp receptions, "Likely isn't far behind."
Ravens HC John Harbaugh talked up RB Justice Hill on Thursday. Harbaugh called Hill a "high-caliber RB" who's "gonna play a lot."
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was back on the practice field on Saturday. He missed time with an illness earlier this week, but it doesn't sound like a factor going forward. "Jackson looked more like the NFL Most Valuable Player than someone who had missed four of the first five practices with an illness," ESPN's Jamison Hensley wrote after Saturday's session.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not practice on Friday due to an illness. He missed time early in the week but had practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. "He continues to undergo further evaluation and receive care from our medical team," the Ravens said in a statement.
Panthers HC Dave Canales said Wednesday that WR Diontae Johnson will be featured in the offense.
The Ravens have placed RB Keaton Mitchell on the physically unable to perform list for the start of training camp. It's no surprise, given that Mitchell is working back from a late December ACL tear. HC John Harbaugh said back in May that the team doesn't expect Mitchell back until "sometime during the season."
Second-year LB Trenton Simpson looks like he's ready to take over the starting job vacated by Patrick Queen's free-agent departure.
The Ravens have wrapped up offseason workouts, and Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic highlighted TE Isaiah Likely as a spring standout. "Likely's work in OTAs and minicamp gave Monken even more reason to polish those multiple tight end sets," Zrebiec writes. "From making highlight-reel, one-handed catches in the middle of the field to finding openings underneath to pulling away from defenders after receptions, Likely looked like a player who will be hard to keep off the field."
