Las Vegas Raiders Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. Veteran WR DeVante Parker (concussion) did not participate again for the 2nd consecutive day. It seems that Meyers is far likelier to play than Parker at this point. Tomorrow will tell us more about Meyers' availability for Week 16's matchup vs. the Bengals. Check back later.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) logged limited participation in practice on Tuesday. Teammate DeVante Parker (concussion) did not practice at all. Week 16's game vs. the Bengals falling on a Saturday makes this situation a bit tougher. As such, we'll keep tabs on the Pats' injury report today regarding the health of this pass-catching duo.

Falcons QB Desmond Ridder threw for just 97 yards on 13-of-26 passing in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He took 4 sacks while averaging just 3.7 yards per pass attempts. The rookie added 38 yards on 6 rushing attempts. The performance confirmed that Ridder shouldn't be in season-long fantasy plans over the next few weeks, if you can help it. He did, at least, pepper fellow rookie WR Drake London with 11 targets, 42.3% of the team's total pass attempts.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, but we’re expecting him to play his usual role in this plus matchup. Meyers is in the WR3 mix.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is expected to play vs. the Raiders today. Meyers got in just 2 limited practices this week. But, considering it was a concussion and he's plenty familiar with the offense, we're expecting him to be ready for a full role in today's plus matchup.

The Patriots expect to have WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders, according to The Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan. If that's the case, Meyers should be a full-go in an excellent matchup. Vegas ranks 26th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs and 31st vs. slot receivers. Meyers has played 60% of his snaps in the slot this season.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday to another limited practice on Friday. That’s a strange progression for a guy in the concussion protocol. Patriots-Raiders doesn’t kick off until 4:05 pm ET on Sunday, but we should get an update on Meyers by that morning. Patriots WR DeVante Parker (concussion) has been ruled out, leaving Nelson Agholor, Tyquan Thornton and Kendrick Bourne as New England’s top 3 healthy WRs.

The Patriots now say WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. He was originally listed as limited. It's a downgrade from a limited workout on Wednesday and has Meyers looking very iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) remained limited on Thursday. He still has work to do to get cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders. We'll get another update on his progress tomorrow.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he can get cleared in time to play vs. the Raiders this weekend.

The Patriots have ruled WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) out for Monday night's game against the Cardinals. He was limited last time out coming off his Thanksgiving night shoulder surgery, so his absence doesn't leave quite as many targets to spread around as it usually would.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) remained sidelined on Friday. He still has a few days to get cleared for Monday night’s game vs. the Cardinals, but that doesn’t seem particularly likely. We’ll get another update on Meyers tomorrow.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers is in the concussion protocol and did not practice on Thursday. We'll track his status over the next few days and see if he can get cleared in time to play vs. the Cardinals on Monday night. Meyers owners should obviously be making other plans for now, though.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Falcons will start QB Desmond Ridder in Week 15, after this week's bye. The 3rd-round rookie has yet to play a snap this year, with veteran QB Marcus Mariota piloting Atlanta to its current 5-8 record. The Falcons rank a decent 15th in scoring but just 28th in total yards. It's likely a 4-game trial for Ridder to help the franchise know whether it needs to prioritize QB early in Round 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft. It's tough to bet on strong fantasy stats from Ridder in his 1st NFL action. But he was an efficient college passer (87 TDs, 28 INTs) and effective runner (2,180 yards, 28 TDs rushing career). Ridder should be claimed where available in 2-QB and superflex leagues.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is active for tonight's game vs. the Bills. There have been no reports of his snaps being limited, but there's at least some risk that he aggravates that shoulder injury. See where Meyers sits in the Week 13 WR Rankings.

The Patriots list WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Bills. He was limited in practice all week. Meyers was able to battle through this injury on Thanksgiving but wound up playing just 29% of New England's offensive snaps. We're expecting Meyers to play tomorrow, but he'll carry elevated risk in Week 13 fantasy lineups.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. He was able to return for limited snaps after hurting that shoulder very early in last Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings, finishing with 3 catches on 4 targets for 62 yards. Meyers will carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he plays vs. the Bills this Thursday night.

Panthers WR Terrace Marshall (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He’s not a recommended fantasy play against the league’s 4th-ranked WR defense.

Panthers WR Terrace Marshall (shoulder) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he should play. But Marshall would be a shaky fantasy start against the league’s 4th-ranked WR defense.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers injured his right shoulder on the team's 1st offensive play in Thursday night's game vs. the Vikings. He got an x-ray in the locker room but returned to play limited snaps in the 2nd half. “Sore,” Meyers said of the shoulder afterward. “I’ll be alright though... It started to feel better as the game went on.” It sounds like Meyers will be able to play through this issue, but we'll keep an eye on him when the Patriots get back to work next week.
