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 Packers are placing RB MarShawn Lloyd on IR with the ankle injury he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Colts, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That was Lloyd's debut after missing most of August and Week 1 with hip and hamstring injuries. The rookie is now out another four games. At this point, it's tough to imagine him being a fantasy factor this season, even if RB Josh Jacobs goes down.
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd sprained an ankle in Sunday's win over the Colts. He labeled himself "day-to-day," according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman, but we'd take that timeline with a grain of salt. The injury came in Lloyd's regular-season debut, after he missed most of August with hip and hamstring injuries. The rookie still has handcuff upside behind RB Josh Jacobs, but he needs to be able to stay on the field.
Reed had a final stat line of two receptions on two targets for only nine yards.. He was Questionable with a Calf/Shin injury, but ultimately played in the game against the Colts. Unfortunately, it resulted in a less than stellar fantasy day with Malik Willis despite Reed lining up all over the formation, including at RB.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks breaks out a bit with QB Malik Willis throwing the ball scoring a first half TD. His final stat line was three receptions on four targets for 26 yards and that lone TD.. It is promising that he had a connection with Willis since QB Jordan Love is likely to miss at least two more weeks.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs ended with a final stat line of 32 carries for 151 yards, but no receptions in the game. The offense was put on Jacobs shoulders early running the ball 20 times in the first half for 128 yards. He did have a fumble at the goal line, giving the ball away to the Colts.
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Colts. The rookie is not a fantasy option in his debut, but we’ll be curious to see how many snaps he plays compared to RB Emanuel Wilson. Lloyd remains the preferred handcuff to Josh Jacobs.
Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is officially inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He’s reportedly eyeing a Week 5 return. QB Malik Willis, who sports a career 52% completion rate and 5.2 yards per attempt, gets the start today. Expect a run-heavy game plan from Green Bay.
Packers WR Jayden Reed (calf, shin) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. He was added to the injury report on Friday, which adds risk to his Week 2 profile. QB Malik Willis’ play is just as big a concern. Reed sits in low-end WR4 territory in the Week 2 Rankings.
Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is targeting a Week 5 return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Though there is a chance he beats that goal," Rapoport adds.
Packers RB rookie MarShawn Lloyd will make his NFL debut this week as the Packers take on the Indianapolis Colts. Lloyd missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury that had ailed him for much of the preseason. He is presumed to be the back-up to RB Josh Jacobs.
Packers WR Jayden Reed (calf, shin) is expected to play vs. the Colts today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Reed was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. The injuries add more risk to a guy who already had a low floor with QB Malik Willis under center. Reed checks in just 46th in the Week 2 WR Rankings.
The Packers have downgraded QB Jordan Love to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts. That's not a surprising change. He hasn't practiced since suffering his MCL sprain in the Friday night loss to the Eagles in Week 1. Love has seemed like a stronger candidate for IR than to play in Week 2, but we'll see if he actually has a chance to return for Week 3. In the meantime, Malik Willis takes over the offense. The team also elevated QB Sean Clifford from the practice squad Saturday.
Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He didn’t practice all week. The Packers really don’t want to have to start QB Malik Willis, so they’re holding out hope for Love. But he’s a long shot to play this weekend with what’s been reported as a multi-week knee injury.
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts after a limited week of practice. We’ll see if the rookie is ready to make his debut, but he’s not a Week 2 fantasy option.
Packers WR Jayden Reed was added to the injury report after a limited practice on Friday, according to HC Matt LaFleur. It appears Reed is still in line to play on Sunday for the Packers, but it adds another layer of caution to starting Reed while QB Malik Willis is also starting.
The Packers are not placing QB Jordan Love (knee) on IR, HC Matt LaFleur said. That means the team believes there's a good chance that Love misses fewer than four games. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Saturday that Love's "initial timetable" for return was 3-6 weeks. It sounds like he's trending toward the short end of that span.
The season couldn't have started much worse for Packers TE Luke Musgrave. He didn't get hurt, but he did play way behind TE Tucker Kraft. Musgrave played on just 25% of Green Bay's offensive snaps in the loss to Philadelphia. Kraft stayed on the field for 64 of 67 plays. Kraft also ran 30 pass routes to Musgrave's eight.
Packers WR Jayden Reed obviously delivered for you in Week 1 if he made your lineup, racking up 138 yards and a TD on 4 receptions, plus a 33-yard TD run. But we already knew he could play after an impressive rookie season. The question was how much he'd play. Week 1 offered encouraging results on that front.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Packers QB Jordan Love's "initial timetable" for return is 3-6 weeks. "And there's some early optimism he could return sooner than later, pending a second opinion," Pelissero adds. Green Bay's bye isn't until Week 10, so that shouldn't factor into Love's return date. It sounds like we should plan on him missing at least the next three games vs. Indianapolis, at Tennessee, and vs. Minnesota. It's worth noting that the Packers medical staff has historically been cautious in bringing players back from injury.
Packers QB Jordan Love has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. There's no damage to Love's ACL. It's relatively good news, but Rapoport confirms that Love "should miss some time." We'll look for a timetable for his return.
