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.
Saints QB Derek Carr threw for just 142 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, with 1 TD and 1 INT. He went just 14-of-25 passing as New Orleans ran 28 times vs. 27 dropbacks.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley had just 17 yards on 5 carries at halftime of Sunday's game against the Saints, which Philly trailed 3-0 at that point. But he used a big second half to finish with 147 yards and 2 TDs on the ground. Barkley delivered a 65-yard TD run to put the Eagles ahead early in the fourth quarter. And then he scored the game's final TD from 4 yards out with 1:01 left. Barkley capped the scoring with a two-point conversion run after that.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride was evaluated for a concussion, HC Jonathan Gannon said after the loss to the Lions. No word yet on whether McBride landed in concussion protocol. We should get an update on his status on Monday. McBride has no documented concussions in his injury history.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott was not at his sharpest in the Week 3 loss to the Ravens. He completed just 55% of his passes at 7.4 yards per attempt. But Prescott wound up with a strong fantasy outing thanks to 51 pass attempts -- the fifth most of his career. Dak hit halftime with 140 scoreless passing yards. But the Cowboys fell behind 28-6 early in the third quarter, and Prescott 239 yards and two TDs on 31 attempts in the second half. He also punched in a third score from one yard out on a QB sneak.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert set career marks for receptions (10) and receiving yards (170) in Sunday's win over the Falcons. He capped off the effort with a 61-yard catch to set up the game-winning TD run late in the fourth quarter. Goedert's 11 targets led the team and accounted for 29% of QB Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts. WR DeVonta Smith was the only other Eagle to see more than four looks.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry recorded a vintage Derrick Henry line in the Week 3 win over the Cowboys: 25 carries, 151 yards, and two TDs. He punched in a one-yard score in the first quarter but really got rolling in the second half, ripping off 99 yards and another TD on 13 carries. That included a 29-yard rumble and a 26-yard TD on the first drive of the third quarter to put Baltimore up by 22 points. Henry also caught his only target for 23 yards.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews didn't catch a pass in the Week 3 win over the Cowboys. His only target came in the fourth quarter and wasn't close to being completed. Andrews played just 33% of Baltimore's offensive snaps and ran four pass routes. There was no word on an injury either during or after the game.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill couldn’t overcome an ugly QB situation in Week 3. Skylar Thompson was knocked out of the game in the third quarter, replaced by third-stringer Tim Boyle. In total, Hill caught 3 of 5 targets for 40 scoreless yards.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for 311 yards in Sunday's win at New Orleans. It was a just-OK performance that included Hurts throwing a first-half INT in the end zone and losing a fumble early in the second quarter.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson struggled against Chicago, mustering only 161 yards on 10-of-20 passing. He tossed 2 picks in the win.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor went off for 110 yards and 2 scores in Sunday's win over Chicago. He handled 23 of 25 team RB carries and 2 of 2 RB targets.
Raiders TE Brock Bowers only had three catches on four targets for 41 yards. In a great potential match-up, the Raiders offense was anemic until garbage time.
Raiders WR Davante Adams was held in check despite a positive match-up against the Panthers. He ended up catching four of his nine targets for 40 yards.
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran 21 times for 114 times while adding five catches on all five of his targets for 55 yards and a TD. In a blow-out against the Raiders, Hubbard was put to good use with new QB Andy Dalton taking the reins.
Panthers WR Diontae Johnson was dominant against the Raiders with QB Andy Dalton at QB. He had eight receptions on 14 targets for 122 yards and a TD.
Texans QB C.J. Stroud threw for just 215 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs in Sunday's lopsided loss at Minnesota. He left for Houston's final possession, giving way to Davis Mills. Stroud's lone TD went to RB Cam Akers late in the third quarter.
Texans RB Cam Akers ran for just 21 yards on 9 carries (2.3 per rush) and caught a single pass for 8 yards as the lead back for Sunday's lopsided loss to the Vikings. Game script certainly didn't help, but Houston averaged just 2.7 yards per carry as a team. Akers' lone reception went for a TD late in the third quarter to save his fantasy line.
Dolphins QB Skylar Thompson was knocked out in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. Thompson took five sacks and numerous other big hits. He's been replaced by QB Tim Boyle. Miami recently signed QB Snoop Huntley, who is active as the emergency third QB today.
Update: Thompson has been ruled out with a chest injury.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones exploded for 148 total yards in Sunday's lopsided victory over the Texans. Jones ran for 102 yards on 19 carries and posted a 5-46-1 receiving line on 6 targets. Jones ranked second on the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards for the game.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta appeared to injure his right ankle on the team's last offensive snap of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He played the first two snaps of the second half before limping off to the sideline. We'll update LaPorta's status when we know more.
