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.
Steelers WR George Pickens reportedly has a Grade 2 Hamstring strain and will likely miss next week's game against the Eagles. Pickens missed yesterday's game against the Browns as a game-time decision, but the injury appears to be more severe than describing this week.
Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles told reporters Monday that S Antoine Winfield Jr. suffered a knee sprain in Sunday's win over the Raiders and will miss "multiple games," according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins drew a team-high 9 targets in Sunday night's win over the Chargers and snagged the team's only TD. But he trailed rookie WR Xavier Worthy in routes, receptions, and receiving yards in a modest passing performance for the team.
The Chargers went without rookie WR -- and team reception leader -- Ladd McConkey for the first time this season in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. WR Josh Palmer led the group in playing time, routes (34), targets (9), receptions (6), and receiving yards (78).
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes posted his second-lowest fantasy score of the season in Sunday night's win over the Chargers. He threw for just 210 yards and 1 TD on 24-of-37 passing (5.68 yards per pass attempt). Mahomes sits 15th among Week 14 QBs by ESPN scoring, with Monday night's game still to go.
Gus Edwards led Chargers RBs in carries (10) and rushing yards (36) and claimed the team's only rushing score in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. But rookie RB Kimani Vidal beat him in playing time. Vidal played 32 snaps to Edwards' 26, including a 17-10 edge in pass routes, according to Pro Football Focus.
Chargers TE Will Dissly suffered a shoulder injury at the end of the first half of Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He didn't play in the second half, finishing with two catches for 19 yards. Stone Smartt took over as Los Angeles' lead TE over the final 30 minutes, catching all three of his targets for 54 yards. We'll look for an update on Dissly's injury.
Bills QB Josh Allen posted a career-high 55.3 fantasy points in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. Allen accounted for six total TDs (three passing, three rushing).
Rams QB Matthew Stafford threw for 320 yards and 2 TDs on 23 of 30 passing in Sunday's win over Buffalo. His passing yardage marked the second-highest by a QB against the Bills this season. He’s also now gone four straight games without an INT.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco worked as the clear lead rusher in his second game back from a fibula fracture Sunday night. He rushed 14 times vs. five for Kareem Hunt and one for Samaje Perine. None found much success. Pacheco also led the RBs in targets but saw pass routes split more evenly.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught one of Russell Wilson's two TD passes in Sunday's win over the Browns. Freiermuth caught three total passes for 48 yards among 3 targets.
Najee Harris led the Steelers in carries and rushing yards for Sunday's win over the Browns. His 16 rushes beat Jaylen Warren by seven and Cordarrelle Patterson by 12. But Harris managed just 53 yards. His 3.3 per rush trailed Warren's 5.2. Harris did, at least, get the team's only rushing score. Harris also watched Warren control receiving work, though.
Steelers QB Russell Wilson threw for a season-low 158 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns. He completed 15 of 26 attempts (57.7%), with 2 TDs and no INTs. Wilson took just 1 sack and didn't turn the ball over.
Browns WR Elijah Moore drew just 4 targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. That marked his fewest in a game since Week 6, the game before Deshaun Watson went down for the season. Moore managed 3 receptions for 34 yards, his third game among the past five with just 3 catches.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers had one of his best games of the season in today’s loss to the Dolphins, throwing for 339 yards, one TD, and 0 INTs. Sunday marked his first game over 300 yards since December 12, 2021.
Browns TE David Njoku led the team in targets for the second straight game Sunday. His 13 looks constituted 31.7% of Jameis Winston's total pass attempts in the loss to Pittsburgh. Njoku made a team-high 7 catches for 42 yards and a TD.
Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith went all of regulation without recording a catch. Then in overtime, the veteran caught all 3 targets for 44 yards and a game-winning score.
Browns QB Jameis Winston tossed a pair of INTs and fumbled once -- though he recovered it -- in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He otherwise threw for 212 yards and 2 TDs on 24-of-41 passing. That's a lackluster 58.5% completions and 5.2 yards per attempt. Winston added 28 rushing yards on 4 attempts.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) told the NBC broadcast crew that he expects to be back when first eligible in Week 17. Dobbins didn't need surgery for his knee injury and said the Chargers were playing it safe by placing him on IR. It sounds like he might be ready for a significant workload in his first game back. We'll continue to track his status, but Dobbins could at least be a RB3 or Flex option in a plus matchup against the Patriots in Week 17.
Browns RB Nick Chubb averaged 4.4 yards per carry in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. That marked his second-best average through seven apperances this season. But he also garnered just 11 carries vs. Jerome Ford's 10 for the game. Chubb also trailed Ford in pass routes and total snaps once again.
