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.
The Saints listed QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) and QB Andy Dalton (back) as limited participants in Monday's estimated injury report. Dalton sustained his injury in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. The report was "estimated" because New Orleans ran no actual practice Monday. The team will face Arizona on Thursday night.
Broncos TE Greg Dulcich has been activated for tonight's game vs. the Chargers. The rookie missed a bunch of practice time this spring and summer but has a chance to carve out a real role in this passing game the rest of the way. We'll be keeping a close eye on his usage tonight.
Bills RB Devin Singletary rushed 17 times and drew 5 targets in Sunday's win over the Chiefs. That marked 91.7% of total RB opportunities for the team in the game. Singletary gained 85 yards on the ground and caught 4 passes for 22 yards. He ranked 2nd on the team in targets and receptions. James Cook carried twice for 8 yards, the team's only other 2 RB opportunities. RB Zack Moss hit the game as a heathy scratch.
Giants QB Daniel Jones threw for just 173 yards in Sunday's win over the Ravens. He tossed TD passes to rookies TE Daniel Bellinger and WR Wan'Dale Robinson. Bellinger led the team with 5 targets catching all of them for 38 yards. Robinson tied Marcus Johnson for 2nd on the team with 4 looks. He caught 3 for 37 yards. RB Saquon Barkley was the only other Giant with more than 2 receptions.
Saints HC Dennis Allen declined to name a starting QB for Thursday night's game vs. the Cardinals. "Let's get in the study on that and we'll see where he's at and then we'll go from there," Allen said after the loss to Cincinnati. QB Andy Dalton completed just 17 of 32 passes (53%) for 162 yards (5.1 YPA) and 1 TD against the Bengals. But Allen said that QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) still isn't at 100%. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but neither guy will be more than a lower-end QB2 for Week 7.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. It’ll be the rookie’s 1st action since going down in the opener. The G-Men are obviously desperate for pass-catching help, but it’s unclear how big a role Robinson will play in this one. We’d try to avoid him in season-long leagues, but he’s an intriguing flier in DFS tournaments.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He’ll back up QB Andy Dalton.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It'll be the rookie's 1st action since the opener. We'd try not to use him in season-long fantasy lineups, but Robinson is an intriguing cheap DFS tournament play.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson (right shoulder) put in a full practice Friday. That’s good news for his status ahead of Monday night’s game. It’s tough to expect an uptick in his performance, though, which lagged ahead of the shoulder issue.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens after a limited week of practice. It looks like the rookie will return for this one after going down back in Week 1. Robinson has a shot to carve out a big role in this passing game, but we'd shy away from using him in season-long fantasy lineups in his 1st game back. He's in play for DFS tournaments, though.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Thursday -- 6 days removed from receiving an injection in his throwing shoulder. Wilson is expected to play vs. the Chargers on Monday night, but he'd be a shaky fantasy play.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. It's still unclear whether he'll be back under center vs. the Bengals this weekend. We should have a better idea of Winston's status when we get New Orleans' final injury report on Friday afternoon.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited last Wednesday and Thursday but sidelined on Friday before missing the Packers game. We'll see if the rookie can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens, but he shouldn't be in your Week 6 fantasy plans.
Saints QB Jameis Winston (back, ankle) put in a limited practice Wednesday. That marks the 1st time he has been listed as limited since before the Week 4 game he missed. We'll continue to monitor Winston status throughout the week. WRs Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Michael Thomas (foot) remained out of practice Wednesday.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett said Tuesday that TE Greg Dulcich is ready to return to practice. The rookie missed time in the spring with a core-muscle injury and most of training camp with a hamstring. He probably has a lot of catching up to do, but Dulcich has a chance to eventually claim a significant role with TE Albert Okwuegbunam in the doghouse.
Broncos HC Nathaniel Hackett said Tuesday that QB Russell Wilson (shoulder) "should be ready to play” vs. the Chargers on Monday night. Wilson got an injection in his throwing shoulder on Friday to address a strained muscle. We'll keep an eye on his practice participation this week, but hopefully you don't need to use Wilson in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
The Raiders have ruled TE Darren Waller out for the rest of Monday night's game against the Chiefs with a hamstring injury. He left early in the 1st quarter with the issue. Las Vegas was already without #2 TE Foster Moreau. Jesper Horsted sits next on the depth chart. Waller gets a well-timed Week 6 bye.
After dominating backfield time and work the previous 2 games, Bills RB Devin Singletary saw the gap shrink in Sunday's lopsided win over the Steelers. His 30 snaps were just 4 more than the combined total for Zack Moss (16) and James Cook (10). Singletary carried 6 times for 42 yards, compared with 4 carries for Cook and 1 for Moss. He added just 1 catch for 4 yards on 2 targets, running 20 routes vs. 15 combined for Moss and Cook. According to Pro Football Focus, Singletary has played 76.4% of offensive snaps when the Bills are tied for trailing. That has dipped to 51.4% when Buffalo leads. So it appears we should consider Singletary to be at greater risk of losing time when then Bills enter a game as heavy favorites.
Giants WR Darius Slayton led the team in targets (7), receptions (6) and receiving yards (79) in Sunday's win over the Packers. No other Giant caught more than 3 passes or topped 36 yards. Saquon Barkley was the only other player with more than 3 targets, catching 3 of 6 for 36 yards. WR Marcus Johnson caught all 3 of his targets for 35 yards after being elevated from the practice squad. He also led the crew in total snaps and routes run. Richie James and David Sills V supplied just 2 catches apiece, ranking 3rd and 4th -- respectively -- in snaps.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right shoulder on Friday "in hopes of relieving discomfort," according to NFL Network. Wilson is reportedly dealing with a strained latissimus dorsi -- a similar injury to the one that sidelined Cowboys QB Dak Prescott for most of training camp last year. Per the report from Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the injury is not usually treated with an injection. Wilson plans on playing when the Broncos return to action next Monday night vs. the Chargers. We'll keep a close eye on him this coming week.
