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.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (ribs) has been ruled out for Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He hasn't been placed on IR as of now but figures to miss multiple games with his fractured ribs. Hill has just three targets but 14 carries and two rushing scores in three games this season. His absence is an upgrade for RB Alvin Kamara, who carried a season-high 26 times when Hill missed Week 3.
Saints HC Dennis Allen said Thursday that TE Taysom Hill has been diagnosed with "rib fractures." Allen didn't give a timeline for Hill's return, but we imagine he'll miss multiple games.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara ran 19 times for 77 yards and a TD against the Falcons. He also caught seven passes on nine targets for 42 yards. Despite being questionable for the game, Kamara came through both as a rusher and receiver in the game.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. There was some early-week uncertainty about Kamara’s availability for this one. But he seemed to progress nicely throughout the week, getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We haven’t heard anything about Kamara’s role being reduced today.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is "planning to play" vs. the Falcons today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Kamara is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We'll get New Orleans' inactives around 11:30 am ET. An active Kamara will remain a must-start, barring any reports of a touch count for him today.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) is officially questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, which should have him on track to play. We’ll get New Orleans’ inactives’ around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. An active Kamara will remain a must-start.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (hip, ribs) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That bodes well for his chances of playing vs. the Falcons this weekend, but check back tomorrow to see how Kamara is listed on the final injury report.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara did not practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a hip pointer and rib injury, HC Dennis Allen said. Kamara was able to play through the issues in the Week 3 loss to the Eagles but shouldn't be considered a lock to play vs. the Falcons on Sunday.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 26 times in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That tied for his third-most carries in a game for his career. Kamara's 87 rushing yards came out to just 3.3 per carry. He added 40 receiving yards on three catches (among 3 targets). Kamara's 3 receptions ranked second on the team, trailing only WR Chris Olave.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. He’s totaled eight carries vs. just three targets this season, so his absence gives the biggest boost to RB Alvin Kamara.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He should be out of all Week 3 fantasy lineups. Hill has played 57% of his snaps in the backfield this season, totaling eight carries and three targets. His absence is a bigger boost to New Orleans' RBs than pass-catchers.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara scored four times in a 44-19 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday. He delivered 115 yards and 3 TDs on 20 carries and added a 57-yard catch-and-run TD as part of a 2-65-1 receiving line.

Saints RB Kendre Miller will start the season on the IR list with the hamstring injury he suffered during training camp. Miller will miss at least the first four weeks of the season and could remain on IR longer if his injury persists.
Saints HC Dennis Allen talked up RB Alvin Kamara in OC Klint Kubiak's new offensive system for the Saints that they will put him in a position to succeed both as a runner and as a receiver.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara left practice today with back tightness. The extent of the injury is uncertain at this time, but it is worth monitoring.
Kendre Miller left practice early after a hamstring issue in individual drills at training camp, per Nick Underhill.
Klint Kubiak is expected to be named the Saints' new OC, according to multiple reports. Kubiak is currently the 49ers' passing-game coordinator, so the move can't become official until after the Super Bowl. The 36-year-old son of Gary Kubiak has 10 seasons of NFL coaching experience. That includes serving as Vikings OC back in 2021. That team ranked 12th in total yards and 14th in points, ranking near the middle of the pack in run/pass split.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Falcons. RB Kendre Miller (ankle, illness) is active for the first time since Week 9. The rookie figures to mix in a bit, but we’re expecting RB Jamaal Williams to handle the majority of the backfield work.
