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.
Texans WR John Metchie tied for the team lead with 5 receptions in Sunday night's loss to the Lions. He also led Houston with 74 receiving yards and snagged the team's only TD catch.
Lions QB Jared Goff had a rough Sunday night against the Texans. He went just 7-of-17 passing for 91 yards in the first half, with 1 TD and 3 INTs -- though the third of those came on a half-ending hail mary. Goff tossed another 2 INTs in the second half. But he also completed eight of 13 throws for 149 yards and another TD in piloting the comeback victory.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb tallied just 21 yards on 6 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, the first game since QB Dak Prescott suffered a hamstring injury. That's not helping any fantasy teams. But Lamb did, at least, maintain strong shares of the receiving work.
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle went for just 56 total yards in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Eagles. He rushed 12 times for 53 (4.4 per rush) and added only 3 yards on 3 receptions. The positive? Dowdle continued to assert himself as the backfield leader.
Cowboys QB Cooper Rush threw for just 45 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles before getting yanked in the fourth quarter. He completed 13 of 23 passes, with no TDs or INTs. But Rush also lost a pair of fumbles despite taking just 1 sack. Trey Lance came on for 21 passing yards, 17 rushing yards, 1 INT, and 2 sacks taken.
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith managed just 2 receptions for 14 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. Even amid limited passing volume for the team overall, that marked just a 15% target share -- in a game that saw TE Dallas Goedert return.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert scored his team's second TD in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, snagging the 14-yarder late in the first half. That was one of two catches for 25 yards among 3 targets.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts ran for a pair of TDs and threw for the other two in Sunday's lopsided win over the Cowboys. He rushed for 56 yards and the 2 TDs on 7 carries, adding 202 passing yards on 14-of-20 passing. Hurts found TE Dallas Goedert for a TD from 14 yards out and rookie WR Johnny Wilson for a 5-yard score.
Saints TE Taysom Hill managed just 50 total yards in Sunday's win over the Falcons. He carried four times for 14 yards and caught both of his targets for 36 more. Hill accrued 34 of those yards of one short completion, which actually went for an 88-yard TD. But it came back to the Saints' 36-yard line on a Foster Moreau holding penalty.
Falcons QB Kirk Cousins tallied 306 yards in Sunday's loss to the Saints, his second-largest yardage total of the season. But it's tough to say he had a good game. Cousins' 60.5% completion rate was his second-lowest of the season. He accompanied that with 0 TDs, 1 INT, and 2 fumbles -- though Atlanta recovered both of them.
Saints QB Derek Carr threw for a nice 269 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win over the Falcons. Most of his production came on three completions to WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The pair connected on a 40-yard TD, a 67-yarder to set up another score, and then the 2-yard TD to finish that position. Carr tallied 160 yards on his remaining 13 completions (among 22 other attempts). Carr added 17 yards on 4 carries.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara easily led the team in both carries and targets for the second straight game Sunday. He handled 17 of New Orleans' 19 RB carries (89.5%), though he gained just 55 yards (3.2 per rush). Kamara's 6 targets doubled his nearest teammate, and he also led the way with 5 receptions.
The Jets offense struggled mightily as a whole, but WR Davante Adams' 13 targets led the team. He only was able to bring in six for 31 yards. Teammate Garrett Wilson only caught five of six targets for 41 yards while RB Breece Hall had 83 total yards in the game and no scores.
Surprisingly, Cardinals RB James Conner tied for the team league in targets with five and led the team in receiving with 80 yards. He ran the ball 12 times for 33 yards and a TD and was actually outperformed by rookie RB Trey Benson who had 62 yards rushing on 10 carries.
Cardinals QB Kyler Murray set a franchise record with 17 straight completions against the Jets. He ended the game going 22-for-24 for 266 yards and a TD. Murray did score two rushing TDs with 21 yards total on the ground. After some lackluster performances, Murray getting back to fantasy relevancy was welcome this week.
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling scored a pair of TDs in Sunday's win over the Falcons. He hauled in a 40-yard score on a 3rd-and-5 early in the second quarter and then added a 2-yard TD grab later in the second. MVS totaled 3 receptions for 109 yards on 3 targets.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Lions. It was a strange week for Collins, who didn’t practice until Friday before being moved onto the active roster on Saturday but still ending up inactive. We’d expect him back for Week 11 but will track his status this coming week. Collins’ absence is bad news for QB C.J. Stroud, who’s averaged just 6.3 yards per pass attempt without Collins over the last four games.
Falcons RB Bijan Robinson ran for a season-high 116 yards and 2 TDs on 20 carries in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He added 3 receptions for 28 yards on 4 targets.
Texans WR Tank Dell (back) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Lions. He was added to the injury report on Friday and listed as questionable, but we haven’t heard anything to suggest the back will be a major issue tonight. He's a strong fantasy play with WR Nico Collins out.
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving gashed the 49ers for 73 yards and 1 score on 13 attempts. He out-carried Rachaad White by 3 and topped him in yards per carry (5.6 vs. 3.1).
