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 49ers are listing RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Jets. The team has never expressed any concern about McCaffrey's availability for the opener, but the questionable listing should at least have fantasy owners on their toes. CMC can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now. We'll look for another update on his status on Sunday morning. RB Jordan Mason remains one of the best handcuff stashes in fantasy football.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was limited in Thursday's practice and is listed on the injury report with calf and Achilles. HC Kyle Shanahan confirmed that the Achilles issue is not new (the team just wasn't required to disclose it until today's first official injury report).
49ers GM John Lynch said Tuesday that WR Ricky Pearsall is doing “remarkably well," three days after being shot through the chest. Lynch added that he expects Pearsall to contribute this season.
The 49ers have placed WR Ricky Pearsall on the non-football injury list after the gunshot wound he suffered Saturday. That means he'll miss at least the first four games, which certainly comes as no surprise.
The 49ers announced that WR Ricky Pearsall has been released from the hospital on Sunday, a day after being shot in the chest in an attempted robbery. Pearsall's mother posted on social media that the bullet did not hit any of his vital organs before exiting out his back.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall was shot in an attempted robbery at Union Square in San Francisco today, NBC Bay Area's Gia Vang reports. Pearsall is reportedly in stable condition, and the suspect is in custody.
The 49ers and WR Brandon Aiyuk have agreed to a four-year extension that will keep him in San Francisco through 2028, according to multiple sources. The "front-loaded" deal carries $120 million in total, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, with $76 million guaranteed.
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk was a no-show for Wednesday's practice. The team had been understanding of Aiyuk's hold-in during training camp but wanted him back on the field on Wednesday as prep starts for Week 1.
The Packers expected starting Kicker Greg Joseph has been released by the Packers. They signed rookie Brayden Narveson who spent the preseason with the Tennessee Titans. Narveson should be the starter for the Packers.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since August 6. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Pearsall partially dislocated a shoulder that was first injured in college. Shanahan hopes to have Pearsall available for the season opener against the Jets.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey looked "spry" running, cutting, and catching passes off to the side of Thursday's practice, according to The Mercury News' Cam Inman. It's the first time we've heard of McCaffrey running and cutting since his August 4 calf injury.
The Steelers and 49ers have a deal on a potential trade and a new contract is in a good place for Aiyuk, the 49ers just need to sign off to get the deal done.The 49ers appear to be waiting on their contract offer to Aiyuk in hopes he will accept.
Niners RB Christian McCaffrey downplayed the significance of his calf injury late this week in an interview on Sirius XM NFL Radio. "If we had a game, I would play," he said.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey will be out of practice for a couple weeks due to a calf injury. He will not play in the preseason, but it is not a long-term situation, according to HC Kyle Shannahan.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is officially off of the Active/NFI list. He appears recovered from his hamstring injury and is participating in training camp.
49ers reporter David Lombardi observed WR Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) running off to the side of practice “at what looks like full speed.” Lombardi expects the rookie to return to practice next week.
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has requested a trade, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Aiyuk is entering the final year of his rookie contract and has been angling for an extension all offseason. A recent meeting between Aiyuk's camp and the 49ers produced no progress toward that extension, according to Garafolo. That prompted Aiyuk to make this trade request.
WR Brandon Aiyuk indicated a couple times over the past week that he's likely to remain with the 49ers for at least the 2024 season. He first said on The Pivot podcast about what jersey he'll be wearing, "If I were to take a guess, probably a Niners uniform." Aiyuk later told TMZ he's "for sure" ready to play in San Francisco this season. The wideout remains under contract through 2024, but the two sides have reportedly stalled out in negotiations on an extension beyond that. Aiyuk has fueled trade rumors with negative takes via social media about his relationship with the team.
San Francisco's George Kittle remained one of the most efficient TEs in the NFL last year, despite playing most of the season at 30 years old. He led the position in both yards per route (2.22) and Pro Football Focus receiving grade. Kittle also averaged a career-high and TE-leading 15.7 yards per catch. He finished sixth among TEs in total PPR points and seventh in PPR points per game -- his sixth straight top-seven finish.
Niners first-round pick WR Ricky Pearsall has been getting first-team action during OTAs, thanks at least in part to WR Brandon Aiyuk's absence. Multiple reports have Pearsall performing well, showing good route-running and hands. (We credited him for the same in his prospect profile.) Pearsall might have a shot at the team's No. 3 WR role, although the 49ers recently re-signed WR Jauan Jennings to a two-year contract with $15.4 million in total money and nearly $8.5 million in guarantees.
