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.
Giants WR Malik Nabers is not practicing on Thursday due to a groin injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's a new injury for Nabers, who wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday. We'll look for further updates on the rookie and see how he's listed on the final injury report later today.
The forecast for tonight's Steelers-Browns game calls for temperatures just above freezing, 85% chance of precipitation, and winds of 15-20 mph with gusts of 25-30 mph. That's ugly. Expect an even run-heavier game plan from the Steelers than usual and for the Browns to run more than they typically do. And don't expect many points. This game has 36.5-point over/under. We'd avoid both QBs and kickers in the game and downgrade the WRs. See where all the Steelers and Browns sit in the updated Week 12 Rankings.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll play against the Bucs this weekend. Tampa Bay ranks 29th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs, but Slayton would be a desperation fantasy play with QB Tommy DeVito.
Steelers QB Russell Wilson threw for just 205 yards, with 0 TDs and 1 INT, in Sunday's win over the Ravens.
Browns QB Jameis Winston threw for 395 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Perhaps just as importantly, he didn't turn the ball over at all. That marked a significiant rebound from a 3-INT outing his last time out that left reporters asking HC Kevin Stefanski if he'd bench Winston.
Browns HC Kevin Stefansk said Monday that QB Jameis Winston remains the team's starter "for the duration." That plan could change, of course, depending on Winston's play. But he'll at least start this weekend's game vs. the Saints.
Steelers QB Russell Wilson completed 14-of-28 for 195 yards and three TDs. He also threw one INT and added three rushing yards on four carries. Wilson has reignited the Steelers offense this year as they beat the Commanders.
Giants WR Malik Nabers caught a high pass in the fourth quarter from QB Daniel Jones resulting in him being flipped over and landing on his head. Nabers was evaluated for a concussion on the sideline but returned to the game. He ended up six catches on 10 targets for 50 yards.
Tracy was essentially responsible for two key turnovers late in the game against the Panthers. He fumbled in overtime and gave up a catch that turned into an interception for Panthers LB Josey Jewell in the red zone in the fourth quarter. Those essentially wiped away a solid rushing performance for him, with 18 carries for 103 yards and a TD. He also caught a pass for one yard.
Giants K Graham Gano (hamstring) is active for this morning’s game vs. the Panthers. It’ll be his first action since Week 2. You can likely do better than Gano in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Giants K Graham Gano (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Panthers. We’ll see if he makes it back for this one after missing the past seven games, but you should stay away from this situation in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He figures to be replaced by WR Jalin Hyatt, who’s only a flier in DFS tournaments. Hyatt has drawn a target on just 8% of his routes this season. (Slayton is at 15% for comparison.)
Giants WR Darius Slayton (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He'll need to get back on the practice field tomorrow to have a chance to play vs. the Panthers in Germany on Sunday. At this point, fantasy owners should not be counting on having Slayton for Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Giants Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux is eligible to return from IR ahead of this week's game against the Panthers in Germany. But HC Brian Daboll told reporters Monday that he doesn't expect Thibodeaux to be activated for Week 10. The edge starter has missed the past four games following surgery to repair a wrist fracture.
Giants WR Darius Slayton sustained a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Commanders. It's his second concussion of the season, with the first coming in the opener. We'll track Slayton's progress through the protocol this coming week, but consider him no better than 50/50 to play vs. the Panthers next Sunday morning in Germany.
Giants TE Theo Johnson tallied 3 receptions for 51 yards among 6 targets in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. Most of his production came on a 35-yard catch-and-run TD late in the fourth quarter that marked Johnson's first NFL score.
Giants WR Malik Nabers racked up 9 receptions on 11 targets in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, leading the team in both categories. He accounted for 42.3% of targets, 45% of completions, and 33.9% of receiving yards -- despite tallying just 59 yards (6.6 per catch).
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy played 47 snaps to Devin Singletary's 18 in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, according to Pro Football Focus. Tracy got more work in both the run game (16 carries to 7) and receiving (16 routes to 6), despite coming off a Week 8 concussion.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy (concussion) put in a full practice on Friday and is off the final injury report. He’s been cleared to play vs. the Commanders this weekend, despite sustaining a concussion on Monday night. Tracy was dominating rushing work before that head injury, out-carrying RB Devin Singletary 20 to 2 for the game. The rookie is a solid RB2 in Week 9 fantasy lineups.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy (concussion) is meeting with the independent neurologist on Friday afternoon and is expected to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. That's a fast trip through the protocol for Tracy after his Monday night concussion. But, if he's cleared, he should be New York's lead back on Sunday. Tracy played 60% of the offensive snaps last week, handling 20 of 22 RB carries.
