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.
Vikings QB Sam Darnold underwent an MRI on his knee that revealed no structural damage, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. "He’s sore, but they are optimistic he plays against Green Bay" on Sunday, Glazer adds.
Bucs HC Todd Bowles said Monday that RB Bucky Irving "has definitely earned more reps." Irving was out-snapped 42 to 18 by RB Rachaad White in the Week 3 loss to the Broncos. Bowles said that was due to his team playing from behind. White remains the preferred back in passing situations. But it sounds like that gap in snaps should shrink in the coming weeks.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta has been diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Relative good news," Fowler adds.
X-rays on Chargers QB Justin Herbert's ankle came back clean, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "He'll continue to be monitored this week," Rapoport adds.
Browns Edge Myles Garrett will have an MRI Monday on both feet, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Garrett said Friday that he was dealing with lingering issues in both feet that might need surgery after the season. But he apparently aggravated the issues in Sunday's loss to the Giants -- and is also dealing with compensatory problems now.
Eagles WR Britain Covey broke a bone in his left shoulder in Sunday's win at New Orleans and is expected to miss at least six weeks, according to Philly radio voice Merrill Reese. Covey played just seven snaps before leaving the Week 3 game but nabbed 6 receptions the week before and has been the primary punt returner.
Rams RB Kyren Williams popped off for 3 total TDs in Sunday’s win over the 49ers. He saw 24 carries but managed just 3.7 yards per attempt behind a depleted O-line.
We knew 49ers WR Jauan Jennings would step into a larger role in Week 3. The 49ers entered the game without Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. But Jennings turned in an unbelivable showing with 11 catches, 175 yards, and 3 TDs.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf delivered a big Week 3 on the back of a 71-yard deep ball TD. He finished the day with 4 grabs for 105 yards on a 17.6% target share.
Cardinals RB James Conner got just 9 carries and 1 target in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He turned those limited opportunities into a mere 17 rushing yards and an 8-yard catch.
Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught five passes for 64 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions and scored for the second straight game. His 11 targets led the team for the second straight week, and Harrison tied for the team yardage lead despite a fairly inefficient performance: 5 receptions on 11 targets, 45.5% catch rate, 5.8 yards per target.
Lions WR Jameson Williams caught just one pass for 9 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Low passing volume for the team didn't help. Detroit threw just 23 passes and dropped back on a mere 38.2% of offensive snaps. Williams' 3 targets actually tied for third on the team.
Lions RB David Montgomery ran for 105 yards and a TD on 23 carries (4.6 per rush) in Sunday's win at Arizona. He also beat Jahmyr Gibbs 3-0 in targets, turning that into 3 receptions for 17 yards. Gibbs also ran well, taking 16 carries for 83 yards (5.2 per rush). Although he didn't see a target, Gibbs did take a pitch from WR Amon-Ra St. Brown after a reception in the second quarter and run it into the end zone.
Falcons WR Drake London had another solid game leading the Falcons in targets on Sunday Night Football. He ended the game catching six of his nine targets for 67 yards and an early TD.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of 39 passes for 217 yards, two TDs and an INT. It was Mahomes best fantasy performance of the season since he did add 17 yards on the ground as well.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara rushed 26 times in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That tied for his third-most carries in a game for his career. Kamara's 87 rushing yards came out to just 3.3 per carry. He added 40 receiving yards on three catches (among 3 targets). Kamara's 3 receptions ranked second on the team, trailing only WR Chris Olave.
Another night of mediocre night for Chiefs TE Travis Kelce against the Atlanta Falcons. He only caught four of his five targets for 30 yards and did not find the end zone, something he hasn’t done yet this season.
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice caught 12 of his 14 targets for 110 yards and a TD against the Falcons. The gameplan for the Chiefs’ offense was clear: Get the ball in Rice’s hands.
Not much went right for the New Orleans offense in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. But WR Chris Olave had a good day. He caught all 6 of his targets for 86 yards and the team's only TD. That score put the Saints ahead with 2:03 left in the fourth quarter, before Philly scored the game-winning TD.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed went without a catch in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His 5 targets ranked second on the team, trailing only WR Chris Olave. They constituted 20% of QB Derek Carr's total pass attempts. Carr and Shaheed narrowly missed connecting for a 40-yard TD in the first half. Shaheed also drew a 25-yard look that would have scored had it connected.
