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.
Bengals RB Chase Brown racked up 22 touches in Thursday night's loss to the Ravens. He predictably struggled to get much going on the ground against a stout run defense, averaging just 3.2 yards across his 13 carries. But he popped in a one-yard TD in the first quarter and was busy in the passing game all night. Brown's 11 targets, nine catches, and 52 receiving yards all ranked second on the team to only WR Ja'Marr Chase. Brown lost a key fumble in the third quarter that helped get the Ravens back into the game. And he was pulled on most third and longs for pass protection reasons. But the Bengals continued to lean heavily on Brown in all other situations.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase obliterated the Ravens for 11 catches, 264 yards, and three TDs on Thursday night. The 55.4 PPR points were the 20th most scored by any player in a game in NFL history. They're the eighth most ever by a WR. A Baltimore secondary that's struggled all season and lost S Kyle Hamilton to an ankle injury in this one simply had no answer for Chase. He scored 67- and 70-yard TDs in the second half. And he got the hat trick with a leaping grab for a five-yard TD with less than a minute to go to bring the Bengals within a point. (They failed to convert the 2-point conversion.) Chase was targeted on 17 of QB Joe Burrow's 56 pass attempts -- good for a 30.4%. target share.
The MRI on Bengals TE Erick All's right knee confirmed a torn ACL. He'll miss the rest of his 2024 rookie campaign. This is the same ACL that All tore just a little over a year ago, which figures to complicate his rehab. We'll see if he can make it back for the start of the 2025 season.
Bengals HC Zac Taylor told reporters Monday that RB Zack Moss will be out "indefinitely" with the neck injury that cost him Sunday's game, according to multiple reports. Taylor added that the team will consider "all the possible options" for replacing Moss in the backfield, according to Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Bengals fear a torn ACL for TE Erick All, according to insider Jordan Schultz. This is the same right ACL that All tore at Iowa in October 2023. He was in the midst of a promising rookie season, quickly carving out a role in Cincinnati's passing game. A torn ACL would end All's 2024 season and could threaten his availability for the start of 2025.
Bengals RB Chase Brown had 32 touches for 157 yards and a receiving TD in the Bengals win over the Raiders. With Zack Moss out with a neck injury, Brown showed he could carry a full workload and perform.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 27 of 39 passes for 251 yards, five TDs and one INT against the Raiders. Even without WRs Tee Higgins and Jermaine Burton, Burrow had a dominant performance as the Bengals try to get back into the playoff hunt.
Bengals TE Erick All injured his right knee in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and is officially doubtful to return. That's the same knee in which he tore his ACL in 2023. We'll update All's status when we know more.
Bengals WR Jermaine Burton is a healthy scratch. Team officials have said the reasoning will be addressed to the media after the game. This is a huge move with WR Tee Higgins out for the game.
Bengals RB Zack Moss (neck) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Raiders. We still don’t have any details on the neck injury that sidelined him on Friday and had him listed as doubtful. Moss’ absence today figures to mean a healthy boost in touches for RB Chase Brown, who’s a borderline must-start. RBs Trayveon Williams and Kendall Milton are active behind Brown.
Bengals RB Zack Moss (neck) is listed as doubtful for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. He was added to the injury report on Friday and did not practice. We'll look for more details on this injury and a timetable for Moss' return. But his absence on Sunday should mean a big role for RB Chase Brown in a great spot against Las Vegas' 29th-ranked RB defense. Trayveon Williams will be Cincinnati's No. 2 RB.
Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas ranked second on the team in routes for Sunday's loss to the Eagles, with WR Tee Higgins sidelined. But he drew just 3 targets -- tied for fifth on the team -- and caught none of them.
Bengals RB Chase Brown ran for 32 yards and a TD to lead Cincinnati's backfield in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He averaged just 2.7 yards per carry across his 12 attempts. Brown added 2 receptions for 2 yards. His 4 targets matched Zack Moss.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow threw for 234 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT in Sunday's 20-point loss to the Eagles. Burrow seemed on the way to a much better passing day after going 11 for 12 on the first possession of the game. But he went just 15 of 25 the rest of the way.
Bengals RB Chase Brown led the backfield with 44 yards on 15 carries in Week 7. He didn't find the end zone but ended up playing ahead of RB Zack Moss.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow saved his Week 6 fantasy line with a 47-yard TD run in the first quarter of Sunday night's win over the Giants. But that accompanied a mere 208 yards and no TDs on 19-of-28 passing (67.9%). Those numbers come out to solid rates for Burrow, but the yardage was his lowest since the Week 1 loss to New England. And the Giants defense deserves credit.
Bengals RB Chase Brown led teammate Zack Moss in basically every category in Sunday night's win over the Giants. He played more snaps (33-24), got more carries (10-6), ran more routes (20-14), drew more targets (3-1), and beat Moss in yards per touch (5.3 to 2.1). The RBs also appeared to get different treatment after their second-half fumbles.
Bengals RB Chase Brown (quad) is active for tonight's game vs. the Giants. He was listed as questionable but never seemed to be in danger of missing this one. Brown figures to continue splitting backfield work with Zack Moss tonight.
Insider Jordan Schultz confirms that Bengals RB Chase Brown (quad) will play against the Giants on Sunday night. HC Zac Taylor said the same on Friday, despite Brown ending up questionable on the final injury report. It doesn't sound like the quad will be an issue vs. New York. Brown figures to continue splitting the backfield with Zack Moss and is a borderline RB2 for Week 6 fantasy lineups.
Bengals RB Zack Moss (foot) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday night's game vs. the Giants. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited participation on Thursday to full participation on Friday. RB Chase Brown (groin) is also expected to play against New York, but the injury report suggests that Moss is the healthier Bengals back.
