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.
Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the 49ers. That figures to mean more snaps for WR Zay Jones, but he should not be in fantasy lineups.
Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) won't play in this weekend's game vs. the 49ers, HC Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday. RB Trey Benson (ankle) was placed on IR on Tuesday, leaving Michael Carter as Arizona's lead back for the finale. He out-touched RB DeeJay Dallas 15-1 in last week's loss to the Rams and sits surprisingly high in the Week 18 RB Rankings.
Cardinals RB Trey Benson has been placed on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury, so he will not be playing in Week 18. With RB James Conner battling a knee injury, Benson had a chance to start and potentially go off heading into the 2025 season. Instead, Michael Carter will likely start if Conner is out.
Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. posted two of his three largest yardage totals for the season in his two meetings with the Rams. He also delivered his best and sixth-best fantasy scores in those contests -- despite not scoring a TD in Saturday's loss. That contest found him catching six of 10 targets for 96 yards. That tied his season high for receptions and marked just his third week of double-digit targets. Overall, Harrison has basically doubled his production vs. the Rams compared with the rest of his games.
Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Rams. RB Trey Benson (ankle) is inactive, leaving RBs Michael Carter and DeeJay Dallas behind Conner. Conner was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable after hurting his knee six days ago. He won’t be at 100% tonight and could have his touches scaled back with the Cardinals eliminated from postseason contention. Check your Team Intel page to see if Conner belongs in your starting lineup.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) is expected to play vs. the Rams tonight. Rapoport also confirms that Conner will be playing "at less than 100%" just six days after injuring his knee. Arizona was eliminated from playoff contention last week, so it's possible that Conner's workload is scaled back. Of course, he'd been producing as a fantasy RB1 when healthy, so he could still post useful numbers even with a reduced role. See where Conner lands in the Week 17 RB Rankings.
The Cardinals expect RB James Conner (knee) to play vs. the Rams on Saturday night, according to Amazon's Albert Breer. RB Trey Benson (ankle) remains "up in the air," Breer added. Conner got in three limited practices this week and is listed as questionable. It's safe to assume he won't be at 100% tomorrow. And, with the Cardinals having nothing to play for, Conner's volume could be scaled back. We'll look for any reports on his expected workload. For now, consider him a risk/reward RB2 in Week 17 fantasy lineups.
Cardinals RBs James Conner (knee) and Trey Benson (ankle) are listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. the Rams. Both guys were limited in practice all week. HC Jonathan Gannon said Conner has progressed well throughout the week, so it sounds like he has a legitimate chance to play. We'll look for further updates on Conner and Benson and get Arizona's inactives a little after 6:30 pm ET on Saturday. If both guys are out, Michael Carter would be the favorite for touches in the Cardinals backfield.
Cardinals RBs James Conner (knee) and Trey Benson (ankle) were listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice. Both guys seemingly have a chance to play vs. the Rams on Saturday night. We'll get Arizona's final injury report on Thursday afternoon.
Cardinals RB James Conner is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Panthers with a right knee injury. He was having a huge game before going down, running for 117 yards and a score and catching four balls for 49 yards. With RBs Trey Benson and Emari Demercardo out, Arizona is down to RBs Michael Carter and DeeJay Dallas.
Cardinals RB Trey Benson (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. With RB Emari Demercado on IR, Arizona is down to RB DeeJay Dallas behind RB James Conner. Expect another busy outing for Conner this weekend against Carolina's league-worst RB defense.
Cardinals RB Trey Benson (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. RB Emari Demercado landed on IR last week, so Arizona would be down to DeeJay Dallas as its No. 2 RB if Benson can't play vs. the Panthers this weekend. That'd mean a very busy day for RB James Conner.
Cardinals RB James Conner tallied 16 carries for 110 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over New England. He caught all five targets for 28 yards.
Cardinals S Jalen Thompson is active for today's game against the Seahawks. He was a late addition to the injury report with a Saturday illness but appears ready for regular IDP use.
The Cardinals added S Jalen Thompson to the injury report Saturday and list him as questionable against the Seahawks with an illness. We'll watch for any further indication of his play status ahead of the game. It's worth noting that Arizona didn't elevate anyone from the practice squad ahead of the game. That seems to bode well for Thompson's outlook.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray attempted a season-high 45 passes in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. But his production proved limited. Murray completed a solid 68.9% of his passes but at just 5.78 yards per attempt, his lowest rate since Week 7. Murray also threw just 1 TD pass. It was his fourth straight game with one or fewer and 10th game among 12 this season that included 1 TD pass or fewer. Murray added 48 rushing yards, his largest tally since Week 7.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride racked up 12 receptions for 96 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He tied WR Marvin Harrison Jr. for the team target lead while collecting 12 catches for the second straight game. That followed games of 3 and 4 receptions the previous two weeks.
Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. drew a season-high 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He matched TE Trey McBride for the team lead and drew a strong 26.7% of Kyler Murray's pass attempts for the game. Harrison wasn't especially efficient but did catch five balls for 60 yards and the team's lone TD.
Cardinals S Jalen Thompson is active for today's game against the Vikings. That'll mark his return after missing the past two contests with an ankle sprain. Thompson remained limited in practice this week, so there's likely still some risk. But HC Jonathan Gannon said he looked good in practice this week. Thompson should be OK for normal IDP use.
The Cardinals have agreed to a two-year, $19 million extension with RB James Conner, according to multiple reports. That will lock Conner in with the team through 2026.
