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 QB Will Levis (shoulder) is a "long shot" to play vs. the Lions on Sunday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Week 9 return more likely," Fowler adds. QB Mason Rudolph will make his second straight start this weekend -- this time without WR DeAndre Hopkins. Rudolph sits dead last in our Week 8 QB Rankings.
Titans CB L’Jarius Sneed is inactive for today’s game against the Bills. That’s not surprising after he missed practice with a quad injury all week. Missing their lead CB obviously hurts the Tennessee defense. Buffalo’s outside WRs stand to benefit. We’ll see exactly what playing time looks like among that group, though, in the first game after the Amari Cooper trade.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bills. He might miss multiple games with a Grade 2 sprain of the AC joint in his right shoulder. QB Mason Rudolph gets the start today but isn’t a recommended fantasy play in any format. Hopefully he can at least be a slight upgrade over Levis for WRs DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley.
Titans QB Will Levis is dealing with a Grade 2 AC sprain in his right shoulder, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "This is considered a 4-to-5 week injury, and Levis has played through injuries in the past, but this one will be a week-to-week situation," Schefter adds. Levis will miss Sunday's game vs. the Bills, and it sounds like he could miss more time beyond that. He's not worth hanging on to in any redraft leagues. QB Mason Rudolph is set to take over for Levis but is unlikely to be a significant upgrade for the offense. He's averaged 6.7 yards per attempt across 475 career passes.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) is not listed on the final Week 7 injury report. He was added on Thursday and held out of practice but will play vs. the Falcons on Sunday. Lockett sits just 44th among WRs in PPR points per game through Week 6 but has some WR3 appeal this week in a game with shootout potential.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. He went from limited on Wednesday to full on Thursday and then back to limited on Friday. We’re expecting Levis to start against Buffalo, but he’s not even a recommended QB2. Mason Rudolph will get the nod if Levis ends up out.
Titans WR Treylon Burks (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. HC Brian Callahan said that Burks might wind up on IR with a knee injury that he apparently suffered in Wednesday’s practice. Burks has totaled eight targets in five games this season, so there’s very little fantasy impact here.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. That should leave RB Tony Pollard in a workhorse role. He handled 12 of 13 RB opportunities (carries + targets) after Spears exited last week’s game.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) did not practice on Thursday. He wasn't even on Wednesday's injury report, so Lockett either hurt his knee between then and Thursday or just got a veteran day off. We'll update his status when we get Seattle's final injury report tomorrow.
Titans HC Brian Callahan told reporters Monday that RB Tyjae Spears is "week-to-week," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Expect Spears to miss at least the Week 7 game at Buffalo. We'll see beyond that. Tony Pollard, who has already carried 17+ times in four of give games, will face even less of a challenge for work while Spears is out. Julius Chestnut is the only other RB on the active roster.
Titans QB Will Levis completed 16 of 27 passes for 95 yards and a TD. He also threw an interception late in the game. It was another disappointing performance for Levis.
Titans RB Tony Pollard performed for fantasy managers again this week. He rushed 17 times for 93 yards and a TD. He also caught three passes for -5 yards. Pollard handled 71% of the Titans RB touches. He also sprung a huge impact block in the game.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's game vs. the Colts. He's officially questionable to return. Spears' absence will leave RB Tony Pollard in an every-down role.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) practiced all week and will start Sunday’s game vs. the Colts, HC Brian Callahan said Friday. Indianapolis ranks 26th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs, but Levis simply hasn’t played well enough this season to be a QB1 consideration.
Titans QB Will Levis (shoulder) put in a full practice on Wednesday. That has him on track to start this weekend's game vs. the Colts. The biggest fantasy impact there? The Colts DST is a nice Week 6 option. Levis has six INTs and three fumbles in a little more than three games this season.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett posted a modest 4-75 receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Giants. But that was enough to lead the team in receiving yards and tie for second in receptions, behind RB Kenneth Walker III. Lockett's 6 targets trailed Walker (8) and WRs D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (7 apiece). Metcalf posted a 4-55 receiving line. Smith-Njigba went 4-31-1.
Titans QB Will Levis has been diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his right (throwing) shoulder but "should be ok" for Week 6's game vs. the Colts, according to insider Paul Kuharsky. Levis gets a well-timed Week 5 bye, and HC Brian Callahan said earlier this week that a healthy Levis remains the starter. That doesn't mean Levis won't be on a short leash if he continues turning the ball over like he has so far this season. He won't be a recommended Week 6 starter in any format. The Colts DST will be a streaming option.
Titans DT Jeffery Simmons says he expects to be ready to play after the team's Week 5 bye. Simmons missed Monday night's win over the Dolphins with a left-elbow injury that he said was a torn ligament, according to ESPN's Turron Davenport. "I feel much better right now, much better today," Simmons said. "Going into this bye week will be good for me to keep my conditioning up and with my elbow. I know I'll be ready to roll against the Colts."
Titans QB Will Levis will remain Tennessee’s starting QB when healthy, per HC Brian Callahan. Levis left Monday’s game against Miami with a shoulder injury.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears set season highs in carries (15) and yards (39) in Monday’s win over Miami. But Tony Pollard again led the backfield, this time with 88 yards on 22 carries. Tennessee lost QB Will Levis to injury in the first quarter and nursed a lead throughout the game. That produced 37 total team RB attempts.
