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 Chargers went without rookie WR -- and team reception leader -- Ladd McConkey for the first time this season in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. WR Josh Palmer led the group in playing time, routes (34), targets (9), receptions (6), and receiving yards (78).
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. That removes the team’s leader in targets, catches, and receiving yards, hurting QB Justin Herbert's fantasy outlook. We’re expecting WR Josh Palmer to kick inside for more slot snaps with McConkey out. WRs Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis, and D.J. Chark are candidates to pick up more snaps. TE Will Dissly could also see more targets without McConkey roaming the middle of the field.
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is a "true game-time decision" for tonight's game against the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McConkey is listed as questionable after getting in three limited practices this week. We won't get the Chargers' inactives until a little before 7 pm ET tonight, putting McConkey owners in a tough spot. If you're hoping to use him, you need to have a replacement rostered from either this game or Monday night's Bengals-Cowboys contest. Chargers WR Josh Palmer is likely your best option.
Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cardinals. WR Simi Fehoko (shoulder, groin) is also active. WRs Derius Davis (hamstring) and WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) are inactive. WR D.J. Chark (groin) was not activated and won’t play tonight. McConkey, Josh Palmer, and Fehoko figure to serve as Los Angeles’ top three WRs in this one.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) did not practice all week and is doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Cardinals. WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is listed as questionable after a limited week of practice. WRs D.J. Chark (groin), Derius Davis (hamstring), and Simi Fehoko (shoulder, groin) are also officially questionable. Josh Palmer and Brendan Rice are the only healthy WRs on the active roster. We'll see if the Chargers make a promotion from the practice squad ahead of kickoff. McConkey has been the only fantasy-viable WR here for most of the season. If you were hoping to start him this week, make sure you have a backup plan from the Chargers, Cardinals, Bucs, or Ravens rostered in case the rookie ends up inactive on Monday night.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (elbow, calf) practiced all week and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. Palmer shouldn’t be in Week 4 fantasy lineups, but his return adds target competition for WRs Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (calf, elbow) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Steelers. His absence likely means more snaps for WRs Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko, but neither is a fantasy option. WRs Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey could pick up extra targets with Palmer out.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (calf, elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He didn’t practice all week, so he’s likely on the bad side of 50/50. Palmer’s absence would likely mean more snaps for WRs Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko, but neither is a fantasy option. WRs Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey could pick up extra targets.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (calf, elbow) did not practice on Wednesday. He was dealing with a knee injury last week and now has two new issues. We'll keep tabs on Palmer's status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Steelers, but he shouldn't be in your Week 3 fantasy plans. Palmer's absence would mean more target opportunity for WRs Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.
Chargers WR Quentin Johnston scored twice in Sunday’s game against Carolina. The second-year pro totaled 51 yards on 5 catches in a blowout win.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday and then did not practice on Friday. It’s safe to assume Palmer won’t be at 100% today. Try to avoid him in fantasy lineups.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (knee) is "tracking to play" vs. the Panthers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Palmer went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday, so it's safe to assume he won't be at 100% today. Try to avoid him in Week 2 fantasy lineups.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (knee) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Panthers. He went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday.
