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.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson rushed only 7 times for 18 yards in Sunday's win over Cleveland. He scored a pair of goal line TDs to save his fantasy day.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100% today. Still, Robinson lands in RB2 territory in the Week 5 Rankings.
A source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is "good to go" for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. Robinson only got in a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable, so it's safe to assume he won't be at 100% for this one. Robinson will also be contending with the return of RB Austin Ekeler. See where Robinson lands in our Week 5 RB Rankings.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. “He’s trending in the right way, and we’ll take it all the way to game day,” HC Dan Quinn said Friday. “But he’s doing great.” We’re tentatively expecting Robinson to play but will get Washington’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report.
Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He ranked second among the team's WRs in routes each of the last two weeks. Brown's absence will mean more playing time for some combination of WRs Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown, and Olamide Zaccheaus. None is a legitimate Week 5 fantasy option.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. His availability for this weekend's game vs. the Browns is now in real question. We'll update Robinson's status again tomorrow. RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) upgraded to full participation on Thursday and is on track to play against Cleveland.
Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday. It looks like he suffered a groin injury on Wednesday and is now in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Brown has emerged as Washington's No. 2 WR in terms of routes but hasn't done enough to become a fantasy option yet.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to come out of the Week 4 win over the Cardinals ok, so this could just be some early-week rest after handling 24 touches in that one. RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) was limited on Wednesday. He still has work to do to clear protocol but is likely to make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. We'll keep you updated on Washington's backfield over the next few days. Deep-leaguers could stash RB Jeremy McNichols in case Robinson or Ekeler miss this weekend's game.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels stayed hot in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals. The rookie completed 26-of-30 passes for 233 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT. He's now up to an 82.1% completion rate through four games -- a record to start an NFL career (min. 75 attempts).
Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) is out for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals, HC Dan Quinn said Wednesday. It's concerning that Ekeler was ruled out so early in the week. We'll see if he can clear concussion protocol in time for Week 5's game against the Browns.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels ended the game completing 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and two TDs. He also added 39 yards and a TD on the ground.
Commanders RB Austin Ekeler sustained a concussion in Monday night's win over the Bengals. It's his third documented concussion. Ekeler now only has six days to get cleared before Week 4's meeting with the Cardinals. Consider him unlikely to play in that one. Ekeler's absence would likely mean an expanded role, particularly in the passing game, for RB Brian Robinson.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin led the team with eight targets for a 27.6% share in the Week 2 win over the Giants. But that's where the good news ends. McLaurin finished with just 22 scoreless yards on six grabs. Washington had nothing working downfield in the passing game. McLaurin's longest grab went for 12 yards. His other catches: 8, 5, 2, and -2 yards and -3 yards.
QB Jayden Daniels struggled in the red zone in Sunday's game vs. the Giants. K Austin Seibert nailed seven FGs to get Washington the win, but Daniels finished without a TD. He played well enough otherwise. The rookie completed 23 of 29 passes (79%) for 226 yards (7.8 YPA) and no INTs, adding 44 more yards on 10 carries. The Giants clearly made it a point to limit Daniels' rushing after his huge Week 1. They kept him bottled up for the most part -- but Daniels still posted a nice rushing total thanks to four runs of 9+ yards.
The Commanders released K Cade York and signed K Austin Seibert. York went 0-for-2 on FGs in the opener, missing from 47 and 56 yards. He also had a kickoff go out of bounds. Seibert was Cleveland's kicker back in 2019 but has bounced to multiple teams in the four seasons since. He sports a subpar 80% career FG conversion rate. You should be able to do better in fantasy lineups.
Patriots WR K.J. Osborn drew a team-high 6 targets in Sunday's upset win over the Bengals, catching just three for 21 yards. Those 3 receptions tied him with RB Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead. No Patriot tallied more than 31 receiving yards, as QB Jacoby Brissett threw for only 121 yards on 15-of-24 passing. That target lead for Osborn also proved deceptive vs. the WR corps playing time.
After being released by the Texans, WR Noah Brown found a new home on the active roster with the Washington Commanders. Brown has had over 550 yards receiving in each of the last two seasons with the Cowboys and Texans.
The Texans are releasing WR Noah Brown, according to insider Jordan Schultz. It's a slight surprise after Brown had a few big games when Houston was dealing with injuries to WRs Nico Collins and Tank Dell last year.
Commanders HC Dan Quinn named QB Jayden Daniels the Week 1 starter. As expected. Daniels, 23, becomes the second rookie QB in franchise history to start the opener (Robert Griffin III).
Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury says RB Austin Ekeler looks as good as ever. "I watch [Ekeler] and I'm like, 'This guy is tremendous.' So, I'm not sure what it was last year, but he hasn't lost a step." Washington, of course, signed Ekeler in free agency to join RB Brian Robinson Jr. -- while also letting RB Antonio Gibson leave for New England.
