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.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown hurt his left foot late in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He told the media afterward that x-rays came back negative, but he was in a walking boot and had a "noticeable limp," according to insider Darren Urban. Brown will undergo further testing on Monday, so we should learn more then. The Cardinals host the Saints this coming Thursday night.
Patriots QB Bailey Zappe threw for 309 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Browns. He completed 4 passes to 5 different receivers, hitting TE Hunter Henry and Tyquan Thornton for his 2 TDs. We'll see whether QB Mac Jones can make it back for the next game.
Buccaneers S Mike Edwards (elbow) is inactive for today's game against the Steelers.
Commanders QB Carson Wentz suffered a fractured finger on his throwing hand in Thursday night's win over the Bears, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wentz will visit a hand specialist to determine next steps. "His availability moving forward is up in the air," Rapoport adds. QB Taylor Heinicke is listed as Washington's backup, but 5th-round rookie QB Sam Howell is also waiting in the wings.
Buccaneers S Mike Edwards (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. We'll check his status Sunday.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He practiced all week, including full practices on Thursday and Friday. Butker looks safe to get back into fantasy lineups for Sunday’s likely shootout vs. the Bills.
Commanders QB Carson Wentz is dealing with a biceps tendon strain near his throwing shoulder, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wentz's availability for tonight's game vs. the Bears was reportedly in question early in the week, but he looked and felt good enough in practice to get the green light. Still, Wentz is "sore and not 100%, per Rapoport, adding risk to his Week 6 fantasy profile.
Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub said Thursday that he expects Harrison Butker to kick against the Bills this weekend, "as long as we don't have any setbacks." Butker has been sidelined since Week 1 and was limited in Wednesday's practice. We'll monitor his status over the next few days.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he can make it back for this weekend's showdown vs. the Bills.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes delivered 292 passing yards and 4 TD passes in Monday night's comeback win over the Raiders. He added 28 yards on 4 rushing attempts to finished 2nd in fantasy points among QBs for the week. Mahomes now sits 4th among QBs for the season (possibly depending on your league's scoring). Week 6 brings a challenging matchup with the Bills, but also potential shootout conditions.
A week after climbing to a season-high 28% of offensive snaps in the win over Tampa, Chiefs WR Skyy Moore got to 35% in Monday night's win over the Raiders. He still trailed well behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling and JuJu Smith-Schuster but pulled closer to Mecole Hardman, who did come off the field in the 2nd half with a foot or heel injury. That might have factored into some of the snap split between the 2 receivers. Either way, Moore is not yet playing enough to become a fantasy factor. But a continued increase in opportunities could put him in the mix over the 2nd half of the season. He's an interesting stash in deeper fantasy football leagues.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught 7 balls for just 25 yards in Monday night's win over the Raiders but caught all 4 of QB Patrick Mahomes' TD passes. Kelce nabbed scores of 1, 4, 8 and 1 yards, while tying for the team target lead with 8. Marquez Valdes-Scantling joined him, catching 6 of 8 targets for 90 yards. JuJu Smith-Schuster matched the duo in looks but caught only 3 for 33 yards.
Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (quad, hamstring) is active for tonight's game vs. the Raiders. He'd been listed as questionable after his hamstring tightened up during Saturday's practice. It adds a bit of risk to his fantasy profile in this one. But JuJu is available if you were waiting on him.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Raiders. Matthew Wright will kick again for Kansas City and is a fine fantasy football spot start.
Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (quad, hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Raiders. He was a full-go in the first 2 practices of the week and listed with the quad, but he was limited on Saturday, when the hamstring was added to the injury report. HC Andy Reid said Smith-Schuster's hamstring "tightened up" but that he should be ok for Monday night. Underwhelming through the first 4 games of the season, JuJu now carries elevated risk in Week 5 fantasy lineups.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) has yet to practice this week. He looks unlikely to kick vs. the Raiders on Monday night. Those duties will again fall to Matthew Wright.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is not listed on the final Week 5 injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He’ll be ready for his usual role vs. the Eagles this weekend.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. Fantasy owners can't be banking on him playing vs. the Raiders on Monday night. Matthew Wright will again kick for Kansas City if Butker is out.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He should be fine for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. Brown played through this issue last week, so he should be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. Check back tomorrow for another Brown update.
