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.
Titans WRs A.J. Brown and Julio Jones are out for Sunday's game vs. the Jets with their hamstring injuries. Neither guy practiced all week, putting their Week 5 statuses in doubt. Tennessee is down to WRs Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Chester Rogers, Cameron Batson, Josh Reynolds and Racey McMath.
Titans WRs A.J. Brown and Julio Jones missed practice again on Thursday with their hamstring injuries. Fantasy owners should be planning on both guys missing Sunday's game vs. the Jets. That'd obviously be a blow to QB Ryan Tannehill's fantasy outlook.
Titans WR Julio Jones did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with a hamstring. So now we know what limited him to just 50% of the snaps last week. Jones' status for Sunday's game vs. the Jets is "up in the air," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll get another practice report from the Titans tomorrow.
As expected, Titans WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy owners shouldn't be planning on having him in Week 4 lineups. But we'll continue to keep an eye on him over the next few days.
Titans WR Julio Jones' availability for Sunday's game against the Jets is "up in the air" due to a leg injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We don't have any other details on the issue -- but we know that it limited Jones' Week 3 playing time. We'll keep an eye on his practice participation this week. With WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) likely out for Week 4, Tennessee might be down to WRs Chester Rogers, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Cameron Batson, Josh Reynolds and Racey McMath. RB Derrick Henry might carry it 40 times.
Titans WR A.J. Brown "may miss a week or 2" with his hamstring injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's at least looking like Brown avoided a major injury. But fantasy owners should plan on being without him for Sunday's game vs. the Jets.
Titans WR A.J. Brown is considered "week to week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Colts, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. So it sounds like fantasy owners should at least plan to be without Brown for Week 4. We'll see about his availability beyond that.
Titans WR Julio Jones played just 50% of the offensive snaps in the win over the Colts, finishing with 3 catches on 4 targets for 47 yards. HC Mike Vrabel wouldn't say in his post-game presser whether Jones was injured. "Just trying to manage where he's at," Vrabel said. We'll see if Jones pops up on this week's injury report.
Titans WR A.J. Brown suffered a hamstring injury in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Colts. He's officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for updates.
UPDATE: Brown was ruled out at halftime.
Eagles DE Brandon Graham will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his left Achilles' tendon. That leaves Josh Sweat, Derek Barnett and Ryan Kerrigan as Philadelphia's top 3 DEs.
According to multiple reports, the Eagles fear that DE Brandon Graham tore his left Achilles' tendon in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. We'll see about the official diagnosis, but such "fears" tend to be realized.
Eagles DE Brandon Graham left in the 2nd quarter of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a left leg injury. He left the field unable to put any weight on it and rode a cart to the locker room. We’ll watch for updates.
Despite only putting in a single, limited practice Friday (ankle, illness), Colts LB Darius Leonard carries no game status on the final injury report of the week. So he appears good for his usual workload Sunday against the Rams.
Colts LB Darius Leonard has missed the 1st 2 days of practice this week. The Colts listed him with an ankle issue Wednesday. Thursday found him listed with the ankle and an illness. We'll see about Leonard's participation Friday. The ankle issue kept him out of Friday practice last week, but he then carried no injury designation into the game against the Seahawks and saw full playing time.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) is officially active for today’s opener against the Broncos. It’ll be his first game action since tearing his ACL last September 20. Barkley came off the PUP list on August 9 but didn’t take contact in practice until 10 days ago. He remained limited in practice this week. And NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported this morning that Barkley will be "eased in" and "used sparingly” today. It’s unclear exactly what that means for his workload — but don’t expect a full-go Barkley.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) will be "eased in" and "used sparingly" in today's opener vs. the Broncos, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweets. "He’ll get snaps, but the team won’t put him at risk so early," Rapoport adds. So it sounds like Barkley will be on some type of snap or touch count in his 1st game since last September's torn ACL. Exactly how much work he'll garner is unclear. Consider Barkley a risk/reward RB2 in Week 1 fantasy lineups.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) has been medically cleared and is expected to play in Sunday's opener vs. the Broncos, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports. This has been the expectation for a while now. We're still hoping to get a report on what type of workload Barkley is in line for in his 1st action since last September's torn ACL. For now, Barkley sits in mid-range RB2 territory in the Week 1 rankings.
Titans WR A.J. Brown (knee) isn't listed on the final Week 1 injury report. He got Wednesday off but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Brown is a WR1 with a huge ceiling in Sunday's plus matchup vs. the Cardinals.
The Giants listed RB Saquon Barkley (knee) as questionable for Sunday's opener against the Broncos. He was limited in all 3 practices but had a "promising" week, HC Joe Judge said. We're fully expecting Barkley to play this weekend -- although just how much work he'll handle remains a question. Stay tuned to Shark Bites for updates.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) has had a "promising" week of practice, HC Joe Judge said Friday. Judge added that it'd take a setback for Barkley to not be ready for Sunday's opener vs. the Broncos. We'll see how Barkley is listed on the final injury report, but he can be penciled into fantasy lineups for now.
