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.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a limited practice on Wednesday. Friday's final injury report will shed more light on Davis' status for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens, but it's clear that he's still not at 100%.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence had a terrific outing in Sunday's surprising lopsided victory over the Chargers. He completed 71.8% of passes for 262 yards and 3 TDs on the road, finding WRs Zay Jones, Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones for scores. That trio also finished top 3 for Jacksonville in targets, with Zay Jones leading the group in targets (11), receptions (10) and yards (85). Next comes a tough road trip at a Philly defense that has shut down Minnesota and Washington the past 2 weeks.
Patriots QB Mac Jones suffered a "severe" high-ankle sprain that is expected to cost him multiple games and would "cause many to have surgery," ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Jones and the team are reportedly still figuring out the course of action for the QB. But it seems we should expect him to be out for at least the near future. Brian Hoyer figures to fill in while Jones is out.
Tests on Patriots QB Mac Jones' left ankle revealed a "pretty severe" high-ankle sprain, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. "The hope is Jones won't need surgery," Pelissero adds. "Timetable still TBD but hard to imagine he plays this week vs. the Packers." We'd frankly be shocked if Jones was able to play this week and would expect him to miss multiple games. QB Brian Hoyer will take over for New England. The 36-year-old has made 2 starts since 2017, tossing 1 TD vs. 4 INTs in those games.
Lions WR Josh Reynolds led the team in targets (10) and receiving yards (96) while tying WR Amon-Ra St. Brown for the receptions lead (6) in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. The game didn't mark any change in role for Reynolds, who has been operating with St. Brown and D.J. Shark as Detroit's clear top trio at the position. Chark posted a 3-46 receiving line among 6 targets in this contest. We'd bet on him and Reynolds alternating production, with St. Brown the weekly favorite to lead. TE T.J. Hockenson chimed in with the team's lone TD catch against Minnesota, 1 of his 3 catches for 18 yards among 4 targets.
Patriots QB Mac Jones is "believed" to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to get a better look at the injury. A high-ankle sprain would likely cost him multiple weeks -- and put Brian Hoyer under center for New England. We'll pass along further updates on Jones as we get them.
X-rays on Patriots QB Mac Jones' left ankle came back clean, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "His ankle will continue to be evaluated," Rapoport adds. Jones isn't out of the woods yet, but this is good initial news.
Patriots QB Mac Jones hurt his left leg late in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. He was in obvious pain and headed back to the locker room. We'll look for updates on Jones' status.
Bears WR Velus Jones (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Texans. We’re expecting Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis to again operate as Chicago’s top 3 WRs.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He was limited in practice all week and probably won’t be operating at 100%, adding risk to his fantasy profile. But there’s still plenty of big-play and TD upside here.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) is still expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's seemingly been the expectation all along. Davis remained limited in practice all week, though, so it's safe to assume that he won't be at 100% today.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He was limited in practice all week. Davis said Thursday that he's "100%" playing this weekend, but you'll need to check back around 11:30 am ET on Sunday to make sure he's active.
Bears WR Velus Jones (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Texans. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so perhaps he’ll be ready to make his debut in Week 4.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) was limited again in Thursday's practice. He told the media afterward that he's "100%" playing vs. the Dolphins this weekend, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow afternoon.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He missed Monday night's game vs. the Titans after hurting his ankle in practice on Saturday, but it looks like he has a chance to return for this weekend's divisional clash with Miami. Check back tomorrow for another update.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) is officially inactive for tonight's game vs. the Titans. Rookie WR Khalil Shakir is active and figures to pick up some of Davis' work. He's an intriguing DFS flier.
Bills WR Gabriel Davis (ankle) is not expected to play vs. the Titans tonight, "barring a surprise," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Team has held out hope but playing was considered an uphill battle since Saturday's injury," Fowler tweets. We'll see if Davis can make it back for this coming Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. His absence figures to mean WR Khalil Shakir's debut, although the rookie is really only an option in DFS. Stefon Diggs, Isaiah McKenzie, Jamison and Dawson Knox are candidates for extra targets with Davis out.
Jaguars WR Christian Kirk had an efficient Sunday, catching all 6 of his targets for 78 yards and a pair of TDs in the 24-0 win over the Colts. Kirk trailed TE Evan Engram by 2 targets but earned a solid 20% share of QB Trevor Lawrence's total attempts. The QB went 25-of-30 passing for 235 yards and the 2 scores to Kirk. Engram hauled in 7 of his 8 looks for 46 yards. Marvin Jones and Zay Jones again tracked close with Kirk in routes, while Engram increased his rate vs. Week 1 to join them. We'd bet on this quartet seeing a lot of the field together, with Kirk the most common target leader. The Joneses caught 3 passes apiece against Indy, with Marvin garnering 5 targets and Bay 4.
Technically, Jaguars RB Travis Etienne garnered a larger share of the carries split with James Robinson vs. Week 1. He went from 26.7% of their combined Week 1 rushes to a whopping 28.1% in Sunday's win over the Colts. That's sarcasm, in case you couldn't tell. Etienne drew just 9 rushes vs. Robinson's 23 against Indianapolis. And neither did much with them. Robinson flashed for a 37-yard TD run. But he averaged only 2.8 yards per rush overall. Etienne fared even worse: 2.2 per carry, with a long run of 6 yards. And this time, Robinson even ran 2 more pass routes, according to Pro Football Focus. Etienne did catch all 3 of his targets for 33 yards, but he's endured a terrible start to his season. We'll see if anything changes, but Etienne shouldn't be near fantasy football lineups for Week 3.
Bears WR Velus Jones (hamstring) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Packers. Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis operated as Chicago’s top 3 WRs in the opener. We’ll see if WR Byron Pringle’s role increases tonight.
