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.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (quad) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's confirmation that he's in no danger of missing Week 3. St. Brown gets a juicy matchup against a Cardinals defense that's allowed the ninth most fantasy points to WRs through two weeks.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered a knee injury that he played through yesterday. It was determined to only be a minor contusion and cramping, so it is unlikely that he will miss additional time, great news for the Lions and fantasy managers.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown's left knee was looked at by trainers twice during Sunday's loss to the Bucs. HC Dan Campbell didn't express much concern afterward. "He's alright. I don't think it's anything long-term, so that's good news," Campbell said. But St. Brown's status will be worth keeping an eye on this coming week. We'll see if we get an update on his status on Monday.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta mustered only two catches for 13 scoreless yards in the Week 2 loss to the Bucs. That's even more disappointing when you consider the Lions ran 84 plays and threw 56 passes. LaPorta's three targets tied for sixth on the team and were just 5.4% of the Lions' total. His playing time remained solid, at least: An 88% snap rate and 83% route rate.
Lions WR Jameson Williams (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Bucs. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so there’s some additional risk here. But Williams also boasts exciting upside in this likely shootout.
Lions WR Jameson Williams (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Bucs today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. But he seemingly played through this ankle issue for part of his big Week 1 outing, so we're not expecting it to be a major issue today. Williams sits 30th in our Week 2 WR Rankings.
Lions WR Jameson Williams (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bucs. He appeared to tweak an ankle early in last week’s game vs. the Rams – before exploding for 121 yards and a score. So we’re expecting Williams to play against Tampa Bay, but you’ll need to check back on his status on Sunday morning.
Lions WR Jameson Williams broke out with five catches for 121 yards including a 52-yard TD in the third quarter. After a disappointing start to his career, Williams hitting a long TD and going nuclear in this game is a sign of a potential breakout coming this season.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught only three passes on six targets for 13 yards in the Lions Overtime win over the Rams. He only had one catch in the entire second half and overtime period as the Lions opted more for the run game as well as a breakout game for Jameson Williams.
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) confirmed on Tuesday that he's ready for Sunday night's opener vs. the Rams. Gibbs called his mid-August hamstring injury “a little tweak" and said he's currently at 98-100% health.
The Lions are signing WR Tim Patrick. He'll start on the practice squad, "with the idea that he will work his way on to the active roster," per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Mike Klis of 9News reports that the Broncos are "moving on from" WR Tim Patrick. Klis says the team is looking into trade opportunities and that Patrick is "generating strong interest" on the market. The league-wide roster cutdown deadline comes Tuesday.
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) ran routes at close to full speed prior to Saturday's preseason game. Here's video from NFL Network's Bridget Condon.
Lions HC Dan Campbell said Tuesday that RB Jahmyr Gibbs is making progress with his injured hamstring and should be back on the field next week.
The hamstring injury Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs suffered in Monday's practice is not believed to be serious. “I think we’re gonna be fine here," HC Dan Campbell said of Gibbs. "So, I think we’ll be good.” Insider Jordan Schultz, meanwhile, heard from a source that Gibbs "should be ready for Week 1."
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs suffered a hamstring injury in Monday's practice, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team has only said that Gibbs is being evaluated for a leg injury.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta has missed recent practice time with a hamstring strain. The injury popped up last week, per beat writer Justin Rogers. HC Dan Campbell said he doesn’t expect a lengthy absence for the second-year TE.
Lions WR Jameson Williams had a strong spring and has rolled that momentum into the start of training camp, according to The Athletic's Colton Pouncy. "Williams is firmly entrenched as one of the guys," Pouncy writes. "This is the best I’ve seen him look with Jared Goff."
Lions WR Jameson Williams looks strong over the middle, a "different player from a year ago," per The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner.
Lions Jack Campbell endured a disappointing first season, considering the team drafted him 18th overall and made Campbell a starter before the middle of the year. But it sounds like he might be ready to rebound with a big Year 2. DC Aaron Glenn began speaking of Campbell's improvement even before the team hit the field for spring workouts. It has reportedly showed in the LB's play as well, including 2 INTs off Jared Goff in Tuesday's minicamp practice. Campbell seems to be trending toward more of a full-time role in 2024.
