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 Eagles finished Sunday's win over the Jaguars with 46 rushes vs. just 24 pass attempts. But their approach didn't go nearly as run-heavy as those numbers made it seem. The first half found just 17 designed run plays vs. 23 dropbacks for Jalen Hurts. He scrambled four times in the second quarter, took 3 sacks, and went 13-for-16 passing before halftime.
WR Austin Trammell operated as the No. 3 WR in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He ran a route on 65.7% of Trevor Lawrence's 35 dropbacks, trailing Brian Thomas Jr. (97.1%) and Parker Washington (94.3%) at the position. Trammell drew 3 targets and tallied 2 receptions for 40 yards.
WR Parker Washington worked as Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, nearly matching WR Brian Thomas Jr. in snaps (49-46) and pass routes (34-33). His 6 targets ranked second on the team, behind only TE Evan Engram.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne got the start Sunday in his return from a two-game hamstring absence. But he logged just 5 total touches and played fewer snaps than Tank Bigsby in the loss to the Eagles.
The Raiders fired OC Luke Getsy, offensive line coach James Cregg, and QBs coach Rich Scangarello, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Vegas ranks 29th in yards per game, 29th in yards per play, and 26th in points per game through Week 9. Getsy has never brought much to the table as a play caller, but personnel is a bigger issue for the Raiders.
Jaguars TE Evan Engram drew a team-high 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That marked a 33.3% share of Trevor Lawrence's targeted throws. He caught five for 45 yards, each of which also led the team on a sluggish passing day for the Jags.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence ran for just 8 yards on five attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. But he found the end zone with two of them and finished Sunday as the No. 9 fantasy QB by ESPN scoring. Lawrence added just 169 yards passing, completing 16 of 31 passes, with no TDs and 2 INTs.
Panthers WR Jalen Coker ranked second on the team with 36 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Saints. But he caught just two passes among 3 targets while seeing decreased usage vs. Week 8.
Panthers WR Xavier Legette entered Sunday's game questionable but finished it tied for the team lead in pass routes. He was on the field for 93.3% of QB Bryce Young's dropbacks, matching WR David Moore for the team lead. Legette drew a team-high 6 targets. He tied for the team lead with 4 receptions, ranked third with 33 receiving yards, and snagged the team's only TD pass.
Panthers TE Ja'Tavion Sanders led the team with 87 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Saints. He tied WR Xavier Legette for the team reception lead (4) and trailed Legette by just one for the target lead (6-5). This marked the third time in four games that Sanders caught at least four passes and the fourth time in five games that he drew 5+ targets.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran for 72 yards and 2 TDs on 15 carries in Sunday's win over the Saints.
Falcons WR Drake London suffered a hip pointer and an oblique strain in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, according to Underdog's James Palmer. "It doesn't appear to be a serious concern," Palmer adds. The injuries were enough to keep London out of the Dallas game, but it sounds like he has a chance to be available for next weekend's meeting with the Saints. We'll keep tabs on London's status throughout this coming week.
So much for the foot injury that kept Titans RB Tony Pollard out of practice Wednesday-Friday. The former Cowboy handled 31 touches for 154 yards in an OT win over New England.
Saints QB Derek Carr went just 18-of-31 passing for 236 yards Sunday against the Panthers, after missing the previous three games with an oblique injury. He threw for 1 TD -- to TE Foster Moreau -- but didn't turn the ball over.
Patriots QB Drake Maye returned from a concussion to post 206 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs against Tennessee. He starred as a rusher with 95 yards on 8 attempts.
Saints utility man Taysom Hill ran for a 7-yard TD among 5 carries for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Panthers. That obviously delivered key fantasy production. But his receiving usage might be more impactful for his value going forward.
Bills RB James Cook handled 10 of 17 team rush attempts for 44 yards in a close win over Miami. He led the RB group with 6 targets, posting 5 catches, 25 yards, and 1 drop.
The Bengals fear a torn ACL for TE Erick All, according to insider Jordan Schultz. This is the same right ACL that All tore at Iowa in October 2023. He was in the midst of a promising rookie season, quickly carving out a role in Cincinnati's passing game. A torn ACL would end All's 2024 season and could threaten his availability for the start of 2025.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill caught 4 of 5 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's loss to Buffalo. The yardage marked Hill’s most since Week 1. He remains without a TD since the opener.
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.
