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 RB Derrick Henry rebounded from 4 straight down weeks for 121 yards and a TD on 17 carries in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Henry had averaged just 2.8 yards per rush across the previous 4 games, all against middling-to-poor run defenses. This performance will make it much easier to play Henry with confidence in high-upside matchups against the Chargers and Texans the next 2 weeks. Houston, in particular, has allowed Henry to rush for more than 210 yards in 4 consecutive meetings -- including Week 8 of this season.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews managed just 2 receptions for 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Steelers. He tied WR Demarcus Robinson for the team lead with 6 targets on a day that saw Baltimore attempt only 17 throws. The Ravens appear likely to be down to their 3rd QB, Anthony Brown, for next Sunday's game at Cleveland. That's bound to hurt Andrews' upside.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Steelers. It sounds like Week 16 is most likely when we’ll see Jackson again. QB Tyler Huntley gets the start today.
Although the Ravens are hoping to get QB Lamar Jackson back for Week 15, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that his "most realistic return date" will be in Week 16 against the Falcons. He adds that there's also "a strong chance" the QB will not get back to full strength again this season because of his PCL sprain. That means a lot of fantasy football managers should be looking elsewhere for a starting QB the rest of the way, even if/when Jackson makes it back. He currently sits just 10th in points per game in common formats, with big totals in weeks 2 and 3 inflating even that. Outside of those contests, Jackson's scoring average for healthy games would rank just 14th at the position.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. The team is evidently still holding out hope that Jackson will show enough improvement over the next 48 hours to play, but it's a big long shot. QB Tyler Huntley figures to get the start.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday, as expected. He's slated to miss 1-3 weeks with his PCL sprain. QB Tyler Huntley will start this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. We'll see if Jackson can make it back for Week 15.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has been diagnosed with a sprained PCL, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Schefter notes that this injury "often sideline players 1-to-3 weeks" -- although he's not referring to Jackson's specific timetable for return. We'll continue to keep you updated on the situation, but fantasy owners should plan on being without Jackson at least for Week 14.
Speaking about the status of QB Lamar Jackson's knee on Monday, Ravens HC John Harbaugh said: "I would say it's kind of week to week. It's probably less likely for this week, but it's not impossible." We'd bet on Jackson missing Sunday's game against the Steelers, leaving QB Tyler Huntley to start. Baltimore also added QB Brett Huntley on Monday. We'll certainly be watching for updates on Jackson's status.
The Ravens believe QB Lamar Jackson has just a "relatively mild" knee sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The team is still awaiting results from the MRI on that left knee. "If he misses times ... it would probably be just 1 game," Rapoport adds. It's positive news, but let's see what that MRI reveals. Jackson owners should still be preparing to be without him for Week 14.
Titans RB Derrick Henry carried just 11 times for 30 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. It marked his 4th straight game with 3.1 yards or less per carry. Henry added only 8 yards on 2 receptions. Week 14 holds his 1st matchup of the year with Jacksonville, which allowed Henry 130 and 215 yards in their past 2 meetings. The Jaguars also allowed Detroit's top 2 RBs to combine for 97 yards and 2 TDs Sunday. Even if Henry can't rebound there, he'll still face high-upside matchups with the Chargers and Texans the following 2 weeks. So most fantasy football teams will have to just roll with him.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews managed just 4 catches for 53 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He finished 2nd on the team in targets and led the group in yards in a game that saw QB Lamar Jackson leave early with a knee injury. WR Demarcus Robinson led in targets (8) and receptions (7), compiling 41 yards. WR Devin Duvernay caught all 6 of his looks for 34 yards. TE Isaiah Likely was the only other Raven to catch more than 2 balls (4-30 on 4 targets).
Ravens HC John Harbaugh said after Sunday's win over the Broncos that QB Lamar Jackson's knee injury is not season ending. "It's gonna be a number of days or weeks," Harbaugh added. Jackson is scheduled for additional testing on Monday, so we should learn more about his situation then. QB Tyler Huntley will take over for Baltimore for however long Jackson is out.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Broncos with a left knee injury. We'll update his status when we know more. QB Tyler Huntley will step in for Jackson.
Update: Jackson has been downgraded to out.
Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (ankle) and S Kyle Hamilton (knee) are active for today's game against the Broncos. Humphrey is the only 1 that has earned serious lineup consideration for IDP leagues. Hamilton has just 1 game all season with more than 54% playing time.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Friday that S Marcus Williams (wrist) won't return for this Sunday's game against the Broncos. Williams has been on IR since injuring the wrist in Week 4. We'd bet on him playing in Week 14 after practicing the past 2 weeks, but we'll see how the safety progresses. In the meantime, S Geno Stone gets another start. CB Marlon Humphrey (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (ankle) practiced all week and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game against the Broncos but isn’t a viable fantasy play.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (quad) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice but a full-go on Thursday and Friday. The quad shouldn’t be an issue vs. the Broncos this weekend.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (ankle) was a full-go in Thursday's practice, putting him in line to return for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. Likely isn't a viable fantasy play, but his presence takes TE Josh Oliver out of consideration in even the deepest of fantasy leagues.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (quad) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. So it doesn't look like that quad will be an issue vs. the Broncos this weekend. Jackson is safe to keep in Week 13 fantasy lineups.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was limited in Wednesday's practice with a quad issue. A team spokesman said Jackson left practice early to get treatment on the quad. Jackson did not do his usual appearance with the media afterward. Check back tomorrow for another update on his status.
