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.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He'll be ready to go for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. It's a good matchup: Minnesota ranks dead last in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs and has especially struggled against outside receivers.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. He's been on the injury report with a shoulder since Week 13 but hasn't missed a game. We're expecting Metcalf to be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings but will keep an eye on him over the next few days.
Seahawks QB Geno Smith (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's clearly on track to start this weekend's game vs. the Vikings -- and it looks like he'll be closer to 100% than we thought. Smith still isn't a recommended QB1 play (he's finished outside the top 18 QBs in fantasy points in five straight), but his availability is good news for Seattle's skill-position players.
Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said Monday that he's "optimistic" QB Geno Smith (knee) will be able to practice this week and play against the Vikings on Sunday. "We’re fortunate," Macdonald said. "A lot of positive, optimistic signs coming out of the test. Geno’s a beast, man — he’s in here, working out in the morning, working through it. I know he’s still feeling it, but this guy’s tough as nails." We'll track Smith's status throughout the week. QB Sam Howell would be a tangible downgrade for the passing game if forced to start.
Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said after Sunday night's loss to the Packers that QB Geno Smith's right knee is "structurally" ok. "(It was) severe enough for him not to come back in the game," Macdonald added. "We'll do all the tests tomorrow and kind of figure it out as we go. ... I know we'll do everything humanely possible to go play, but just don't know right now." We should get another update by the end of today, but it sounds more likely than not that Smith misses time. That'd leave Sam Howell under center. He struggled badly in relief of Smith against Green Bay, completing just 5 of 14 passes for 24 yards and an INT. Howell was a mixed bag as Washington's starter last year, throwing for 3,946 yards and 21 TDs but also tossing 21 INTs and taking 65 sacks. He's a clear downgrade from Smith -- but better than most backups in the league.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 14 injury report. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice and should be ready for a full slate of snaps against the Cardinals this weekend.
After being limited on Wednesday, Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday. He was on last week's injury report with a shoulder before playing his usual role in the win over the Jets, so we're expecting Metcalf to be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. But we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) were removed from the final Week 13 injury report. Both guys were sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to full practices on Friday. At this point, there’s no reason to believe that they won’t be ready for their usual roles vs. the Jets on Sunday. We’ll let you know if that changes.
Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) missed practice again on Thursday. Both guys are seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Jets. That'd leave Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo, and Cody White as Seattle's top three WRs. Check back tomorrow for another update on Metcalf and Lockett.
Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. There have been no further updates on either guy. We'll see if they get back on the practice field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday's game vs. the Jets.
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his four game streak of 60+ receiving yards posting six catches on seven targets for 77 yards and a TD. He now has at double digit PPR fantasy points in each of the last four games and 19+ in three straight games. With D.K. Metcalf only ending up with four receptions for 59 yards, JSN’s sophomore breakout continues.
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the Seahawks in receiving against the 49ers catching 10 of 11 targets for 110 yards. Second was D.K. Metcalf who caught seven of nine targets for 70 yards. Both were heavily used in the second half in the Seahawks come back.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’s ready for a full workload vs. the 49ers on Sunday. Metcalf checks in 14th in the Week 11 WR Rankings.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Metcalf was leading Seattle with 61 targets on a 24.3% target share through the first seven games of the season. He ranked fifth among WRs in expected PPR points per game over that stretch; 17th in actual points per game. Metcalf lands in high-end WR2 territory in our Week 11 PPR Rankings.
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba was absolutely dominant against the Rams with DK Metcalf on the sidelines. JSN caught seven of 13 targets for 180 yards and two TDs in the game.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. There was optimism early in the week that Metcalf would be back for this one, but he seemingly didn’t progress as hoped over the past few days. He gets a Week 10 bye to heal up. Metcalf will again be replaced by WR Jake Bobo this weekend. He’s only an option as a cheap flier in DFS tournaments. WRs Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett gain target upside with Metcalf sidelined.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. HC Mike Macdonald said yesterday that he was hoping to get Metcalf on the field today, so it seems like he's not progressing as hoped. Metcalf now looks very iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. We'll see if he gets on the field tomorrow.
