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.
The Raiders are expected to start QB Desmond Ridder vs. the Dolphins this weekend, according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur. The news is buried in an article about the general state of the Raiders -- and we haven't seen it reported anywhere else. But we'll go with it for now.
The Raiders fired OC Luke Getsy, offensive line coach James Cregg, and QBs coach Rich Scangarello, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Vegas ranks 29th in yards per game, 29th in yards per play, and 26th in points per game through Week 9. Getsy has never brought much to the table as a play caller, but personnel is a bigger issue for the Raiders.
Raiders TE Brock Bowers had a prime match-up against the Bengals and was pretty quiet until garbage time where he scored a TD. Bowers ended up catching five of eight targets for 45 yards and that lone score.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers caught eight passes on 11 targets for 105 yards in the Raiders loss. As the de facto top WR on the team after the Davante Adams trade, Meyers is seeing the targets with the Raiders defense giving up points early.
Raiders LB Robert Spillane (knee) is active for today's game against the Bengals. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.
Raiders RB Zamir White (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He’s totaled just five carries and one target over the last two weeks and is not a fantasy option.
Raiders RB Zamir White (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, so he figures to play. White, who’s totaled just five carries and one target over the last two weeks, is well off the fantasy radar.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He missed the past two games but racked up 19 total targets in the previous two without WR Davante Adams. Meyers is a nice volume bet today in a game that figures to find the Raiders playing from behind.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Chiefs today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This was expected after Meyers was a full-go in Friday's practice. He missed the last two games but totaled 19 targets in his two games without WR Davante Adams this season. Meyers is a volume-based WR3 option for fantasy lineups today.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chiefs. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday to a full practice on Friday. That should have Meyers on track to play in this one, but we’ll look for further updates on his status. We won’t get Vegas’ inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a limited practice on Wednesday -- and obviously does not bode well for his chances of playing vs. the Chiefs this weekend. We'll see if Meyers gets back on the field on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It was his first practice since the Friday before Week 6. We'll see if Meyers can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. When healthy, he should be at least a WR3 option for fantasy squads. He totaled 19 targets in two games without WR Davante Adams this year.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with his broken thumb, according to NFL Network. He'll be placed on IR but should be able to return this season. Vegas will now turn back to QB Gardner Minshew, who's completed 65.5% of his passes at 6.7 yards per attempt with four TDs and eight INTs this season. Consider it a lateral move for the Raiders offense.
Rookie Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 10-of-14 targets for 93 yards. He failed again to find the end zone, but rewarded fantasy managers as one of the top scoring TEs again this week.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell is believed to have suffered a broken right thumb in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Considering that's his throwing hand, the injury figures to cost O'Connell multiple weeks. Vegas will turn back to QB Gardner Minshew, who was benched for O'Connell after Week 5.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell injured his right thumb in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Rams and is questionable to return. He's been replaced by QB Gardner Minshew. We'll update O'Connell's status when we know more.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. The Raiders will again roll with WRs Tre Tucker, D.J. Turner, Kristian Wilkerson, and Alex Bachman. Try to avoid that group in fantasy lineups. TE Brock Bowers should be in for a ton of targets again.
Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. It’s entirely unclear how backfield touches will be divvied between White, Alexander Mattison, and Ameer Abdullah. Try to avoid the situation in Week 7 fantasy lineups.
Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so he seems on track to play. It’s unclear how backfield touches will be divvied between White, Alexander Mattison, and Ameer Abdullah, so stay away from this situation in Week 7 fantasy lineups if you can help it.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. So the Raiders will again roll with WRs Tre Tucker, D.J. Turner, Kristian Wilkerson, and Alex Bachman. Try to avoid that group in fantasy lineups. TE Brock Bowers should be in for a ton of targets again.
