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 (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.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes went 23-of-37 passing for 249 yards and 3 TDs with 1 INT in Sunday night's loss at Tampa Bay. Mahomes found TE Travis Kelce, TE Jody Fortson and RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire for TDs. Kelce (10) and WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (8) led the Chiefs in targets and receptions. A Week 5 home date with the Raiders looks even more favorable for the K.C. offense.
Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire delivered a 19-92-1 rushing line and caught a 2-yard TD flip from QB Patrick Mahomes in Sunday night's win over the Buccaneers. The production was obviously terrific. It was particularly noteworthy, though, because Edwards-Helaire went from trailing Jerick McKinnon's Week 3 playing time to getting more snaps than McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco combined at Tampa. Pacheco did work in for a season-high 63 yards on 11 carries. He has now gotten 11+ carries in each of the 2 games K.C. has won by 10+ points. he totaled 5 carries across the narrow win over the Chargers and the Week 3 loss at Indy. McKinnon carried just twice at Tampa and drew a single target, totaling 0 yards.
Commanders QB Carson Wentz threw for just 170 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Cowboys. WR Curtis Samuel once again led the team in targets (7), catching 4 balls for 38 yards. TE Logan Thomas, WR Terry McLaurin and TE John Bates tied for 2nd with 6 targets apiece. Rookie WR Jahan Dotson led the squad with 43 receiving yards and snagged the lone TD but left early with a hamstring injury. Dallas looked like a negative matchup heading in. A Week 5 home date with the Titans presents rebound potential.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice, but we haven’t heard anything to suggest that the foot will be a factor today.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown was added to Friday's injury report and limited in practice, but we never heard any real concern about his status. He can stay in Week 4 fantasy lineups.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs. Kansas City will elevate K Matthew Wright from the practice squad for that one.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bucs. He didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday after a limited workout on Wednesday. Look elsewhere for your Week 4 fantasy kicker.
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (heel) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday but is evidently good to go for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bucs.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice. We'll look for further details on his status ahead of Sunday's 4:05 pm ET kickoff.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. That followed a limited practice on Wednesday. Look elsewhere for your Week 4 fantasy lineups.
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (heel) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should put him on track to play vs. the Bucs on Sunday night. We'll see what Kansas City's final injury report says tomorrow.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. Kansas City dumped K Matt Ammendola earlier this week and hasn't signed a replacement, so it seems like Butker has a good chance to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (heel) did not practice on Wednesday. His status for Sunday night's game vs. the Bucs is uncertain. Hardman's absence would free up snaps for WR Skyy Moore and/or WR Justin Watson.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown racked up 17 targets in Sunday's loss to the Rams, catching 14 of them for 140 yards. We'll obviously take those number for fantasy football lineups, but credit a passing-volume bubble for a struggling offense. QB Kyler Murray attempted 58 passes, completing 37 (63.8%) for 314 yards, with no TDs or INTs. WR Greg Dortch and TE Zach Ertz followed Brown with 10 targets apiece. No other Cardinals drew more than 5 looks. Dortch caught 9 of his targets for 80 yards; Ertz caught 6 for 45.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 20 of 35 passes (57.1%) for 262 yards (7.48 per attempt), 1 TD and 1 INT in Sunday's loss to the Colts. It was a disappointing performance vs. a defense that had been soft against the pass through 2 games. But there's no larger takeaway on Mahomes' outlook here. A Week 4 visit to Tampa Bay looks challenging and might push Mahomes further down our top 12 than usual. Then come matchups with the Raiders, Bills and 49ers before the Week 8 bye. Buffalo and San Francisco don't look like easy spots either. We'll see about Mahomes' specific projections as we get closer.
Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster tied Travis Kelce for the target lead (8) in Sunday's loss to the Colts, tied Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the reception lead (5) and paced the team with 89 receiving yards. He remained close to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman in routes: 35 for MVS, 33 for Smith-Schuster and 28 for Hardman. Valdes-Scantling drew 7 targets for the 2nd straight game, while Hardman garnered just 1. QB Patrick Mahomes spread his attempts around less than in the Week 2 win over the Chargers. With Hardman back healthy -- he was in and out of the Week 2 contest -- WR Justin Watson played just 10 snaps; Skyy Moore 8.
Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire scored the team's only rushing TD in Sunday's loss to the Colts. But that 1-yard score wound up part of a 0-yard rushing day on 7 carries for the Chiefs "starter." We'll put that in quotes because Jerick McKinnon wound up playing 8 more snaps and edging CEH in pass routes. Edwards-Helaire still tied for the team lead in receptions (5) by catching all 5 of his targets (for 39 yards). McKinnon matched his 7 carries but drew just 1 target. The primary takeaway here: Trade CEH while he looks like a fantasy asset. He sits 13th among Week 3 PPR scorers, with 1 game left to go, and 3rd among PPR backs through 3 weeks. Rookie RB Isiah Pacheco sat a distant 3rd in backfield use Sunday, playing just 5 snaps.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. Matt Ammendola will kick again for Kansas City. He made both of his FG attempts and all 3 XP tries in Week 2.
Chiefs WR Skyy Moore played 13 snaps in Week 1 and just 2 in Week 2. "Moving forward, I guarantee you'll see more than two snaps," OC Eric Bieniemy said Thursday. It's not a major surprise that a rookie from the MAC is off to a slow start. Moore remains an intriguing prospect -- and none of the other Chiefs WRs have stood out so far. Moore shouldn't be in Week 3 fantasy lineups, but he's worth stashing in fantasy leagues of 10+ teams.
