        Baltimore Ravens Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        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.

        Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins erupted for 8 catches, 86 yards, and 2 TDs in a Week 9 win over Tampa Bay. After seeing a limited role in his K.C. debut, Hopkins’ usage noticeably increased against the Bucs.

        Flowers had two receiving TDs in the first half, including a long 53-yarder at the end of the second quarter. He ended the game catching five of six targets for 127 yards and two TDs.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson dominated the stout Denver Broncos defense with his arm, completing 16-of-19 passes for 280 yards and three TDs. He only ran three times for four yards on the day.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (back, knee) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He sat out on Wednesday and Thursday for what he and HC Jim Harbaugh called rest days. Jackson was a full participant in Friday’s practice. We’ll keep an eye on this. But, for now, Jackson remains a must-start in Week 9 fantasy lineups.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee, back) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. HC Jim Harbaugh called Wednesday a rest day -- but we highly doubt he'd get two days off in a row if there wasn't a legitimate injury. We'll look for further updates on Jackson and see if he practices tomorrow. QB Josh Johnson is Baltimore's backup.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with back and knee issues. HC John Harbaugh said it was just a rest day, though, so it doesn't sound like Jackson is in any danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. We'll let you know if that changes.

        Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that WR DeAndre Hopkins should be ready to play more vs. the Bucs on Monday night. He ran a route on just 33% of pass plays in his debut last week, catching two of three targets for 29 yards.

        Making his Chiefs debut, WR DeAndre Hopkins caught 2 of 3 targets for 29 yards in Week 8. As expected, he played a limited role. Hopkins ranked third among Chiefs WRs in snaps (23) and tied for third in routes run (14).

        Ravens WR Zay Flowers missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday and entered Sunday’s game questionable with an ankle. He was active against Cleveland, though, and delivered 7 grabs for 115 yards in an upset loss.

        Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins is officially active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said Saturday that Hopkins will likely have a "small menu of plays" after joining the team earlier this week. We’d try to keep Hopkins on fantasy benches this week.

        Ravens WR Zay Flowers (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100% for this one. See where Flowers sits in the Week 8 WR Rankings.

        Ravens WR Zay Flowers (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Browns today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is a little more pessimistic, writing that Flowers "will have a pre-game workout to determine his status." We'll get Baltimore's inactives around 11:30 am ET. Flowers clearly won't be at 100% if he does give it a go today.

        ESPN's Jeremy Fowler expects WR DeAndre Hopkins to have a "small menu of plays" in his Chiefs debut vs. the Raiders. Fowler notes that WRs Kadarius Toney and Mecole Hardman played 9 and 11 snaps, respectively, in their first games with the Chiefs after being acquired via in-season trade in recent years. Hopkins is a much better WR than either of those guys, so we're expecting him to play more snaps than that. But he's unlikely to play enough to make him a reliable Week 8 fantasy start. Try to keep him on the bench this week.

        Ravens WR Zay Flowers (ankle) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Flowers played through this injury in last Monday night’s win over the Bucs, though, so we’re projecting him to play against Cleveland. We’ll get Baltimore’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

        Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Friday that WR DeAndre Hopkins will “probably” play vs. the Raiders this weekend. Hopkins got in just two practices with his new team this week, so it’s safe to assume he won’t play a full slate of snaps if he does suit up on Sunday. We’d try not to use Hopkins in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

        Ravens WR Zay Flowers (ankle) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. Flowers played through this injury in Monday night's win over the Bucs but isn't a lock to suit up for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

        Ravens WR Zay Flowers (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He twisted an ankle early in Monday night's win over the Bucs but still played 71% of Baltimore's offensive snaps. We're tentatively expecting him to be available for Sunday's game vs. the Browns, but we'll keep you updated on his status. WR Rashod Bateman would become a much more reliable Week 8 fantasy play if Flowers is out.

        Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell will be activated from the PUP list and return to practice this week, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. Mitchell has been working back from last December's multi-ligament knee injury. He's still likely at least a couple of weeks away from game action. Mitchell was a big-play machine last year, averaging 8.4 yards per carry and 10.3 yards per catch. But he'll be returning to a backfield that has both Derrick Henry and Justice Hill playing very well. Mitchell would need an injury to at least one of those guys to have a shot at fantasy relevance. He can be left on your waiver wire for now.

        The Titans are finalizing a deal to trade WR DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Tennessee will get a fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-rounder.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had a monster game putting up 41 points on the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Jackson completed 17-of-22 passes for 281 yards and 5 TDs. he also ran for 52 yards on the ground.
