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.
Jets LB C.J. Mosley is questionable for Monday night's game against the Bills after putting in limited practices all week. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says "all indications are" that Mosley "should be a go."
Jets TE Tyler Conklin (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Bills. He was limited in practice all week. We've heard nothing to suggest that Conklin is in real danger of missing this one, but the late kickoff makes it a trickier situation. Fantasy owners hoping to start Conklin could add Jets backup TE Jeremy Ruckert as insurance. Bills TE Dawson Knox is also a potential replacement if Conklin ends up inactive.
Todd Downing will replace Nathaniel Hackett as the Jets' play-caller, interim HC Jeff Ulbrich announced on Thursday. While defensive-minded HC Robert Saleh was canned earlier this week, the offense has been the real problem in New York. The Jets rank 23rd in points, 27th in total yards, and 27th in yards per play. That's largely on Hackett, who has deployed a stale offense. We're just not sure it'll get much better with Downing. He's spent three seasons as an NFL OC, one with the Raiders and two with the Titans. Those offenses ranked 17th, 17th, and 30th in total yards. QB Aaron Rodgers is on board with the move, according to insider Connor Hughes. We'll get our first look at Downing's offense in Monday night's Jets vs. Bills game.
Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play vs. the Steelers this weekend, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Vegas has no reason to risk a setback with Adams' hamstring as they look to move him ahead of the November 5 trade deadline. His absence will again leave WR Jakobi Meyers, TE Brock Bowers, and WR Tre Tucker as the Raiders' top three targets. Meyers leads the team with 19 targets on a big 31.1% share over the past two weeks. Bowers has 15 targets on a 24.6% share.
The New York Jets have fired Head Coach Robert Saleh after the Jets started with a 2-3 record. They are coming off a 23-17 loss to the Vikings in the UK. Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is being named the interim head coach and will coach the team on Monday when they face off against the Buffalo Bills.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers suffered a low-ankle sprain in Sunday morning's loss to the Vikings, HC Robert Saleh said. "All the preliminary stuff says he'll be fine," Saleh added. Rodgers has an extra day to heal up ahead of next Monday night's game vs. the Bills. It sounds like he'll be available for that one, although any loss of mobility is a concern for the 40-year-old. Rodgers has taken eight sacks over his last two games.
Jets WR Allen Lazard ended with a stat line of four catches on 10 targets for 34 yards against the Vikings. He did connect with Aaron Rodgers for a TD and nearly had another TD on a tough catch.
Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is "nearing full health" and is "likely" to be able to play next week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It, of course, remains to be seen whether Adams is still a Raider at that point. And, if he is, whether he and/or the team would want him to play amid ongoing trade talks. Per Rapoport, a reunion with QB Aaron Rodgers in New York is Adams' top choice. The Saints have been most aggressive in pursuing Adams, though, while the Bills and Steelers are also monitoring the situation. New Orleans and Pittsburgh would be disastrous landing spots for Adams' fantasy value. Buffalo looks like his best landing spot, with a top tier QB and a chance to be the team's No. 1 target.
Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) remained sidelined in practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. Adams is reportedly dealing with a legitimate injury and could miss another game. We’ll see if he’s still a Raider when he’s able to get back on the field. His absence will again leave WRs Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker and TE Brock Bowers as Vegas’ top targets.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) is not listed on the final Week 5 injury report. He dealt with knee swelling early in the week and was limited on Wednesday. But he put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. It all suggests that the knee won’t be a major factor in this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings.
Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) remained sidelined on Wednesday. With trade talks for the veteran seemingly underway, don't expect him or the team to push him to play through this hamstring injury. Fantasy owners should not be counting on Adams in Week 5 lineups as of now. TE Michael Mayer (personal) also did not practice on Wednesday.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. He revealed earlier this week that he came out of the loss to the Broncos with a swollen knee. He doesn't seem to be in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Vikings, but it's possible that the knee is a factor. We'll keep an eye on Rodgers over the next few days.
Jets QB Aaron Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show that he came out of the Week 4 loss to the Broncos with a knee issue. "I'm feeling a little banged up," Rodgers said. "Knee is a little swollen." Rodgers never exited the Denver game, and it's unclear when the injury occurred. But it might have played a part in the Jets' disappointing outing. They scored just nine points, and Rodgers mustered just 225 scoreless passing yards on 42 attempts (5.4 YPA). We'll keep an eye on his status throughout this week, but Rodgers won't be a recommended QB1 starter vs. the Vikings on Sunday in London.
Raiders WR Davante Adams has informed the team that he "preferred" to be traded, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. (Very polite of Davante.) The Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vincent Bonsignore, meanwhile, reports that the Raiders have begun gauging interest from other teams on an Adams trade. It seems like there's motivation from both sides to get this done.
Jets RB Breece Hall ran the ball 10 times for only four yards. He caught two of his five targets for 14 yards. It was an extremely disappointing fantasy day for Hall who could not get anything going behind the Jets Offensive Line.
Jets WR Garrett Wilson had a mediocre day catching five of his eight targets for 41 yards. He also lost a fumble in the game. QB Aaron Rodgers threw the ball 42 times, so Wilson had some solid targets, but being shadowed by Patrick Surtain Jr. for much of the game hurt Wilson’s stat line.
Raiders WR Davante Adams is considered "week to week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Thursday's practice, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Adams did not practice on Friday and was ruled out later that day, suggesting that he was not close to being able to play vs. the Browns this weekend. It sounds like there's a chance he misses additional games. The Raiders' bye doesn't come until Week 10. TE Brock Bowers and WRs Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker will find more target opportunity for however long Adams is out.
Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is out for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. He injured his hamstring in Thursday's practice, so it's possible that he misses more time beyond Week 4. We'll look for further updates on his status. Adams has accounted for 24% of Raiders targets this season, so he leaves behind a ton of opportunity. TE Brock Bowers, WR Jakobi Meyers, and WR Tre Tucker are candidates to pick up extra work.
Raiders WR Davante Adams was added to the injury report and limited in Thursday's practice with a hamstring. We don't have any other details at this point. We'll see what Adams does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Browns.
Raiders WR Davante Adams was held in check despite a positive match-up against the Panthers. He ended up catching four of his nine targets for 40 yards.
