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.
Rams WR Demarcus Robinson (toe, hip) put in a full practice on Saturday and is not listed on the final injury report for Monday night's game vs. the Dolphins. He'll be ready for his usual duties as the Rams' No. 3 WR in that one.
Rams WR Demarcus Robinson (toe, hip) returned to a limited practice on Friday after sitting out Thursday. He should be fine for Monday night’s game vs. the Dolphins, but we’ll see how he’s listed on the final injury report on Saturday afternoon.
Rams WR Demarcus Robinson (toe, hip) did not practice on Thursday. He made the game-winning 39-yard TD grab in Week 9's overtime win over the Seahawks, so he was evidently playing through these injuries. We're still tentatively expecting Robinson to play vs. the Dolphins on Monday night, but we'll keep an eye on him over the next few days.
Rams WR Demarcus Robinson caught two TDs against the Seahawks including the game-winning catch in Overtime. He caught six of nine targets for 94 yards and both receiving scores for the Rams.
Rams RB Kyren Williams was held without a TD for the first time this season. He ran 22 times for 69 yards against a lackluster Seahawks defense. He caught only one pass for 26 yards. It was a rough outing for Williams who has been an RB1 almost weekly at this point.
Rams WR Puka Nacua was ejected near the end of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks after throwing a punch. He finishes with one catch on four targets for 11 yards. Tough break for Nacua owners, but we don't expect any further discipline to come from this. Nacua should be back for next Monday night's game vs. the Dolphins.
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He aggravated his knee injury on Thursday and did not practice on Friday. But Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer said this afternoon that Nacua will be a “full go” today. Get him in fantasy lineups.
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) will be a "full-go" against the Seahawks later today, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. Get Nacua into Week 9 fantasy lineups.
ESPN's Adam Schefter tweets that Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) is expected "to be able to try to play" vs. the Seahawks today. It's notable wording from Schefter -- and a reminder that Nacua comes with elevated risk in Week 9 fantasy lineups after aggravating his knee injury in Thursday's practice. See where Nacua sits in the Week 9 WR Rankings.
The Athletic's Dianna Russini expects Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) to play vs. the Seahawks tomorrow. It doesn't exactly read like a sourced report, but Russini likely has some insider knowledge here. We'll likely get further updates on Nacua over the next 24 hours, but we're currently projecting him to play against Seattle. He'll obviously carry elevated risk in Week 9 fantasy lineups after aggravating his knee injury on Thursday. But we're also talking about a guy who went for 106 yards on just two days of practice last week. Nacua will be tough to leave out of fantasy lineups if he ends up active.
The Rams are listing WR Puka Nacua (knee) as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. Nacua was added to Thursday's injury report after injuring the same knee that cost him time earlier this season. We'll see what he does on Friday. But HC Sean McVay said before Friday's practice that he "wouldn't bet against [Puka Nacua] playing." We're sure to get more updates on Nacua's status between now and kickoff at 4:25 pm ET on Sunday.
Update: Nacua won't practice on Friday, McVay said. He added that Nacua "banged his knee" in practice on Thursday but suffered no structural damage.
Rams WR Puka Nacua's knee injury is "not believed to be serious," a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nacua's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks is uncertain, though, Schefter adds. The Athletic's Jourdan Rodrigue reports that this latest injury is to the same knee that sidelined Nacua for most of August and Weeks 2 through 7. We'll keep you updated on his status for Week 9 and beyond.
Rams WR Puka Nacua left practice early today with a knee injury on the same knee that was previously injured. Nacua officially had a "Limiited" practice, but his status for Week 9 is up in the air now. Nacua previously missed six weeks with an injury to that right knee.
Rams WR Puka Nacua hauled in 7 of 9 targets for 106 yards in Thursday night's win over the Vikings. All three marks led the team. It was a super impressive performance from a guy who'd been out since Week 1 and had practiced just twice since coming off IR. Nacua's playing time was scaled back a bit: He played 56% of the offensive snaps and ran a route on 67% of pass plays. But his previous knee injury didn't seem to be a factor when he was on the field. Nacua created plenty of separation and ran with his usual oomph after the catch.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp was on the receiving end of 1 of QB Matt Stafford's 4 TDs in Thursday night's win over the Vikings. Stafford evaded two pass rushers while Kupp worked himself open in the back of the end zone for the 7-yard score in the second quarter. He also made a clutch 27-yard grab to convert a third-and-9 late in the fourth to essentially seal the win. Kupp finished the game with 5 catches on 8 targets for 51 yards and the score.
Rams QB Matt Stafford accounted for all 4 of the team's TDs in Thursday night's 30-20 win over the Vikings. He got rolling early with a 5-yard score to RB Kyren Williams on the Rams' first possession of the night. Stafford's most impressive TD came in the second quarter. He spun away from one Vikings defender, ducked under another, and then fired a laser to WR Cooper Kupp in the back of the end zone from 7 yards out. Stafford connected with WR Demarcus Robinson for his third and fourth scores in the second half. He finished 25 of 34 (74%) for 279 yards (8.2 YPA), 4 TDs, and 0 INTs.
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) is officially active for tonight's game vs. the Vikings. It'll be his first action since Week 1. Nacua just returned to practice on Tuesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported a couple of hours ago that the Rams wouldn't decide until pregame warmups how much Nacua will play tonight. We'll look for any further updates on that front, but it's a good bet that he'll be on some type of snap count. As of now, we'd lean toward sitting Nacua in most cases. His receiving line prop on most sportsbooks is set around 29.5 yards.
Rams WR Puka Nacua (knee) has been activated from IR, setting him up to play vs. the Vikings tonight. It's a major surprise considering Nacua got in just two limited practices this week -- his first two since going down way back in Week 1. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero suggested this morning that Nacua would likely be on a snap count if he played tonight, which certainly makes sense. His fantasy floor and ceiling are significantly lower than usual for Week 8, but he might still make sense as a starter for your team. Check your Team Intel tool to see how Nacua stacks up against the rest of your players this week.
We chuckled when the Rams listed WR Puka Nacua (knee) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. He's practiced just twice -- Tuesday and Wednesday -- since going down in Week 1. But, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, "there is now optimism" that Nacua could play Minnesota.
The Rams have ruled LB Troy Reeder (hamstring) out for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. That'll leave the defense without its top LB. It's not clear who will take over his spot, next to Christian Rozeboom. Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic said Wednesday that she expects to see both Jake Hummel and Omar Speights "get a shot." Rams DC reportedly said the team is "working through" who'll wear the green helmet dot and relay defensive play calls. Rozeboom looks like the only usable Rams LBs in IDP leagues. DL Braden Fiske (back) is questionable for the game as well. We'll check his status Thursday evening.
