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.
Titans WR Calvin Ridley delivered 5 catches, 84 yards, and 2 TDs in a Week 10 loss to the Chargers. The veteran drew a 39% target share in Will Levis’ first game back from a shoulder injury.
Titans QB Will Levis will be back as the starter this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Levis has been dealing with a shoulder injury and has not played since Week 6. He replaces back-up Mason Rudolph who has started since Levis was out.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. It was his first full practice since going down in Week 6 -- and should put him in line to start this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Levis is not a recommended starter in any fantasy format. And his return adds more volatility to WR Calvin Ridley's Week 10 outlook.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots. QB Mason Rudolph gets another start, which should be considered good news for WR Calvin Ridley.
Titans QB Mason Rudolph is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Patriots, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Will Levis had a good week of practice, but his shoulder is not quite ready," Rapoport adds. Rudolph shouldn't be in Week 9 fantasy lineups but at least helped WR Calvin Ridley to a big Week 8. Consider Rudolph a slight upgrade for Ridley's Week 9 fantasy stock.
Titans WR Calvin Ridley (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He got in a full practice on Thursday sandwiched by DNPs on Wednesday and Friday. But he’s evidently in no danger of missing this weekend’s game against the Patriots. WR Tyler Boyd (shoulder) did not practice all week and is listed as questionable.
Titans WR Calvin Ridley (foot) is not listed on the final Week 8 injury report. He didn’t practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was a full participant on Friday. It all suggests that the foot won’t be an issue in this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. Ridley is a risk/reward fantasy play in a struggling Tennessee offense but with WR DeAndre Hopkins out of the picture.
Titans WR Calvin Ridley (foot) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. We still don't have any details on this foot injury, but Ridley's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Lions is up in the air. His absence would leave Tennessee without its top two WRs at the start of the season, after WR DeAndre Hopkins was traded to Kansas City earlier this week. The rest of the WR corps: Tyler Boyd, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Jha'Quan Jackson.
Titans WR Calvin Ridley missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury. We don't have any other details on the issue right now. We'll see if Ridley gets back on the field on Thursday. He has a good chance to soak up a ton of volume going forward with WR DeAndre Hopkins off to Kansas City.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bills. He might miss multiple games with a Grade 2 sprain of the AC joint in his right shoulder. QB Mason Rudolph gets the start today but isn’t a recommended fantasy play in any format. Hopefully he can at least be a slight upgrade over Levis for WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley.
Titans WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's expected to play in this weekend's opener vs. the Bears, but we're currently projecting his volume and efficiency to take a hit coming off the knee injury. We'll see what Hopkins does in practice the next two days and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Titans HC Brian Callahan said Wednesday that the deep connection between QB Will Levis and new WR Calvin Ridley hasn't gone great so far. "Missed too many of them early on ... it's not been a great start," Callahan said, according to beat writer Paul Kuharsky.
DeAndre Hopkins strained a knee in practice and "indications are he could miss four to six weeks," according to Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky. He said it wasn't immediately clear when the injury occurred. ESPN's Turron Davenport shared a video of Hopkins going through individual drills with his left knee wrapped Wednesday afternoon.
Titans HC Brian Callahan said QB Will Levis has been "really impressive" through the first two days of training camp.
The Titans signed WR Tyler Boyd to a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Boyd is reuniting with new Titans HC Brian Callahan, who spent the past five seasons with Boyd in Cincinnati. Boyd went for a career-high 1,046 yards in Callahan's first season as Bengals OC back in 2019, but his yardage has declined each year since, bottoming out at 667 last year. Boyd's Pro Football Focus receiving grade has also been in decline. He ranked 63rd among 80 qualifiers last year.
The Titans surprisingly landed WR Calvin Ridley on Wednesday with a four-year, $92 million deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The pact includes $50 million guaranteed, adding Ridley to a WR corps that returns DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burks. That's probably the strongest collection of WR talent the franchise has had since moving from Houston to Nashville. And the Ridley move just might be the strongest sign that HC Brian Callahan's Titans plan to throw the ball quite a bit more than the Mike Vrabel version. Even big-money RB Tony Pollard brings more receiving pedigree than rushing. How will all these WRs fit together by target share? Burks figures to sit a clear third, barring some gigantic steps for him this summer. Ridley hasn't been as much of a target earner as Hopkins throughout their respective careers. So we'll likely favor Hopkins between them. But expect both veteran wideouts to garner shares of 20+%. As for scheme fit, Burks enjoyed quite a bit of success from the slot at Arkansas before arriving as a first-round pick. This will be a very interesting offense heading into the 2024 season. And the biggest individual winner might be QB Will Levis. He's available late in best ball drafts (QB27 Underdog Fantasy ADP) but can at least offer high weekly ceilings. There might be top-16 season upside to Levis. Check our best ball rankings for everyone's updated numbers.
