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.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is a game-time decision but is "trending in the right direction" to play vs. the Titans on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport adds that Chase was originally expected to miss more time but that his doctor's appointment last week was "exceptionally positive." Insider Mike Garafolo adds that Chase will still be "battling through" the hip issue. He was limited in practice all week -- and it's certainly possible that his snaps and/or effectiveness are limited tomorrow.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) got in 3 limited practices this week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. HC Zac Taylor said the final decision on whether Chase returns for this one will come on Sunday. We’ll look for reports on Chase’s status that morning and will get Cincinnati’s inactives around 11:30 am ET.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) put in his 2nd straight limited practice on Thursday. It's still unclear if he'll be ready to play vs. the Titans this weekend. Check back tomorrow for another update on Chase.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. QB Joe Burrow expects Chase to play vs. the Titans this weekend, but HC Zac Taylor has remained non-committal. We'll get another update on Chase tomorrow.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow said Wednesday that he expects WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) to return for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. That, of course, is far from a guarantee that Chase will be back. But Week 12 has reportedly been the target for his return for a while now. We'll keep a close eye on his status over the next few days.
Bengals HC Zac Taylor labeled WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) "day to day" on Monday. Chase is expected to return to practice this week, but Taylor was non-committal on his availability for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. We'll keep a close eye on him throughout the week.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is "improving" and got "very good news" on his rehab at a recent doctor appointment, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Chase is off crutches, per Rapoport, and "has a chance" to practice and play this coming week. We'll keep a close eye on Chase's progress when Cincinnati gets back to work on Wednesday.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. The team is reportedly “hopeful” that Chase will be back for Week 12, but he was still on crutches as of Monday. We’ll track his status this coming week.
As expected, Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. He was still on crutches as of Monday, and the latest report has the Bengals hoping for a Week 12 return.
The Bengals are "hopeful" that WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) will be back for Week 12, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. That seems like the best-case scenario considering Chase was still on crutches as of Monday. We'll continue to track his progress, but Chase is a heavy favorite to miss this weekend's game vs. the Steelers.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is still walking with crutches, according to insider Kelsey Conway. There's been some hope that Chase will be able to return for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers, but this news makes that seem unlikely. We'll keep you updated on Chase's status throughout the week.
Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase (hip) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers, as expected. He’s still dodged IR as of now, so we'll see if Chase can make it back after Cincinnati's Week 10 bye.
The Bengals will not be placing WR Ja'Marr Chase on IR with his hip injury, according to insider Jordan Schultz. Schultz reports that Chase is dealing with a hairline hip fracture and torn labrum. He doesn't give a timetable for Chase's return, but no IR would mean the Bengals expect him back before Week 13. Chase is worth keeping stashed in all fantasy leagues.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks with a hip injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Chase reportedly suffered the initial injury against the Saints and then aggravated it in the win over the Falcons. The return timeline makes him likely to hit IR. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports, however, that he's only expected to need rest and rehab to come back from it. His absence makes Tyler Boyd a strong fantasy football option for this weekend and beyond.
Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase torched Atlanta for 8 grabs, 130 yards and 2 scores. So much for the hip injury that landed him on the injury report. Chase made several sweet catches in this one, including a deep ball in tight coverage that went for 6. He’s now posted a staggering line of 12-244-4 over his past 6 quarters. Sure, the matchup was favorable on Sunday -- Atlanta even lost top CB A.J. Terrell in the 1st quarter. Still, it’s clear he’s trending up alongside a red hot Joe Burrow. He'll look to keep rolling against Cleveland.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is not listed on the final Week 7 injury report. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but put in a full practice on Friday. Chase will be ready for his usual role vs. the Falcons this weekend.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday for the 2nd straight day. We've heard no concern about his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons, but his status is worth checking back on tomorrow.
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed to make it out of last week's win over the Saints healthy, so this is likely more of a rest day. We'll get another update on Chase tomorrow.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow managed just 217 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT in Sunday night's meeting with a Ravens defense he slaughtered last year. Granted, this Baltimore D is healthier and Tee Higgins left early after aggravating his sprained ankle. But Burrow can't blame the protection this time. According to Pro Football Focus, no QB faced a lower rate of pressure in Week 5. Burrow took only 2 sacks among 38 dropbacks. He targeted WR Ja'Marr Chase a team-high 12 times but connected on just 7 for 50 yards. TE Hayden Hurst ranked 2nd in targets (7) and receptions (6), led the team with 53 receiving yards and caught Cincinnati's only TD pass. Burrow added a 1-yard TD on the ground. Week 6 brings a decent matchup with New Orleans, and Burrow sits a nice 7th among QBs in fantasy points per game for the year so far.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow rebounded from a pair of shaky outings to post his best fantasy outing so far this season in Sunday's win over the Jets. Burrow tallied 275 yards and 3 TDs, hitting Samaje Perine, Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd for scores. Chase led the team with 10 targets but managed only 29 yards on his 6 receptions. Boyd checked in 4th with 5 targets but caught 4 of them for 105 yards. His big strike was a 56-yard catch-and-run TD. Higgins proved steadiest, catching 5 balls for 93 yards among 7 looks. Cincinnati gets a home date with the Dolphins this Thursday night, then visits to Baltimore and New Orleans.
