Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

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.

The Bills signed WR Elijah Moore to a one-year deal worth "up to" $5 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see how much guaranteed money Moore got, but it's probably not enough to make him a roster lock.

Bears HC Ben Johnson sounded very excited about rookie WR Luther Burden in the team's post-draft press conference. "Stud," Johnson said of Burden. "He’s a playmaker waiting to happen. ... For 6 foot and 200+ pounds, it’s rare to see someone with his movement skills. He can stop on a dime and accelerate just like that. Give him a little bit of space, and he can make big things happen. A dangerous player and weapon. ... I see big things in his future."

The 49ers have agreed to a four-year extension with TE George Kittle. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it carries a total value of $76.4 million, with $40 million of that guaranteed. It makes Kittle the league's highest-paid TE in annual average salary. Kittle has spent eight seasons with the Niners and will turn 32 in October.

Seahawks GM John Schneider said some of the team's coaches believe that TE Elijah Arroyo could play 'X' receiver. "Full route tree. Super explosive," Schneider said of the rookie. "If he didn't miss time [in college,] his talent is like a Top 15 pick. This guy is special."

The Browns have agreed to a one-year deal with WR Diontae Johnson, according to multiple reports. Since the end of the 2023 season, Johnson has seen the Steelers trade him to Carolina, the Panthers trade him to the Ravens for minimal return, Baltimore waive him, Houston claim him only to release him shortly thereafter ... and then no team sign him until after the draft. Johnson averaged career lows 2.8 receptions and 31.3 yards per game across last year's three stops. He'll turn 29 in July.

The Athletic's Daniel Popper believes Chargers WR Quentin Johnston "is going to have to earn his roster spot in camp." Popper has Mike Williams and rookie Tre Harris projected to start on the outside, with Ladd McConkey in the slot.

The Panthers signed WR Hunter Renfrow. The 29-year-old was out of the league last year, seemingly by his own accord. He spent the previous five seasons with the Raiders, totaling 269 catches for 2,884 yards and 17 TDs. He caught 103 balls back in 2021 but combined for just 61 across 2022 and 2023.

Broncos LB Dre Greenlaw recently suffered a quad tear during a workout, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Jennifer Lee Chan. Greenlaw could miss "a substantial portion" of the season, with at least a chance he misses the whole thing. Greenlaw signed with Denver in free agency this offseason.

The Tennessee Titans signed Miami WR Xavier Restrepo to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. At nearly 5’10, 200 pounds, Restrepo is a compactly built slot target. In college, he ran 92% of his routes from the slot, per PFF. He’s made strides as a route runner and has shown reliable hands, so there’s plenty to like. Restrepo spent five years at Miami, with the last two producing 154 catches, 2,219 yards, and 17 TDs. He led the Hurricanes in catches and receiving. He had a 3.94 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 21st among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 21%, and 10th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 83. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 21.4. He ranked 14th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.78. Our Comp for him in our Draft Sharks Rookie Guide is Julian Edelman.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers S Malik Mustapha tore his right ACL in the team's season finale. ESPN's Nick Wagoner says, "There is no definitive timeline on Mustapha's return, but -- given how late in the year the injury occurred -- it's unlikely he will be ready at the start of the season." Wagoner added that the injury is "related" to the ACL tear he suffered in January 2022, while at Wake Forest.

The San Francisco 49ers signed Nebraska WR Isaiah Neyor to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. Neyor broke out at Wyoming in 2021. The redshirt sophomore led the Cowboys with the following market shares: 27.1% of the catches, 41.5% of the receiving yards, and 80% of the receiving TDs. He recorded a monster 20.0 yards per catch. Neyor capitalized on the huge season by transferring to Texas, but his momentum hit a wall with a 2022 ACL tear. He didn’t play at all that season and barely saw the field in ‘23, prompting a move to Nebraska. Last fall, Neyor ranked second on the team in receiving yards and first in TDs. He sat third in targets and fifth in catches, though. Neyor was among the biggest winners at the NFL combine and has the raw tools you look for in a late-round pick. He had a 9.90 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 39th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 15.9%, and 45th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 61.2. He is currently 23 years old with a Breakout Age of 19.2. He ranked 28th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 5.95. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Bryce Ford-Wheaton. Prather isn’t an explosive post-catch player, but he’s shown enough of an overall game to garne to make an NFL roster. His 4.40 speed at 6’4, 218 pounds screams developmental upside.

The San Francisco 49ers signed Cincinnati RB Corey Kiner to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. Kiner held the RB2 role as a true freshman at LSU. He played behind junior Ty Davis-Price, a future Round 3 pick of San Francisco. Kiner transferred to Cincinnati the following year and didn’t earn the lead back role until 2023. Over the next two seasons, he totaled 2,200 yards and 9 TDs. 2024 was particularly impressive. Kiner set career highs in yards per carry, yards after contact per attempt, PFF Elusive Rating, and PFF rushing grade. The bulk of his carries came in a zone scheme. Kiner showed underwhelming speed and burst at the NFL combine, registering a 4.57 forty and a 1.59 10-yard split. But his game is built on contact balance, and he’ll look to find a two-down role in the pros.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Memphis WR Roc Taylor to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. This past year, he had boosted use as a downfield threat (14.5-yard aDOT). Taylor confirmed that speed with a 4.49 (at 213 pounds) at the combine. After two quiet seasons, Taylor’s production exploded as a 2023 junior at Memphis. He tallied team highs in catches (69) and receiving yards (1,083). The yardage marked a nice 27.2% team share, while Taylor added a strong 2.60 yards per route run. The Alabama native remained steady as an outside WR in 2024. He had a 7.23 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 18th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 23.3%, and 32nd among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 74.1. He ranked 40th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 5.77. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Romeo Doubs.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Florida RB Montrell Johnson Jr. to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. Johnson started off at Louisiana, where he led the backfield in carries (162) and TDs (12) as a freshman. He transferred to Florida the next year after his HC – Billy Napier – took the same job in Gainesville. Johnson played a 1A role ahead of Trevor Etienne in 2022 and 2023. In August of 2024, he underwent arthroscopic knee surgery. Later that season, he missed several games with a lower-body injury. Johnson still flashed when active, setting career highs in yards per carry (5.9) and PFF Elusive Rating (86.0) in 2024. It’s easy to lose Johnson in a loaded RB class, but he has the requisite athleticism to earn snaps.

The New York Jets signed Michigan RB Donovan Edwards to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. Edwards made a name for himself in 2022 with a dominant game against rival Ohio State, rushing for 216 yards and two TDs. The Michigan native disappointed in his final season at Michigan, however. With Blake Corum leaving, eyes were on Edwards to fill the lead back role. After early inefficiency, he lost the job to power back Kalel Mullings and never cleared 100 rushing yards in any game. Still, the former five-star recruit had a solid Senior Bowl and posted a 4.45 40-time at 205 pounds. He also proved throughout his career that he can contribute as a pass catcher. There could be untapped potential for Edwards at the pro level.

The New Orleans Saints signed Deleware RB Marcus Yarns to an Undrafted Free Agent Contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. A zero-star recruit, Yarns spent all four of his seasons at Delaware. Now, most small school players with an NFL future have eye-popping stats at their level of competition. Yarns never had a 1,000-yard rushing season, but his receiving ability (including 13 receiving TDs over the past three years) and athleticism show NFL potential. At the Combine, the 193-pounder recorded a 4.45 forty, a 37.5" vertical, and a 122" broad jump. Those were all 74th percentile or better finishes among Combine RBs since 1999. His long speed is evident on tape, but a lack of size figures to limit his NFL workloads.

The New England Patriots signed Alabama TE C.J. Dippre to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. Dippre caught just 65 balls across four college seasons – two at Maryland and two at Alabama. His 21 catches and 256 yards last year both ranked third on a Tide offense that averaged just 236 passing yards per game. But Dippre averaged an underwhelming 1.26 yards per route – 17th among 21 TEs at the Combine. Dippre was a short-range target for both schools, with a career 5.0-yard average target depth. He at least averaged a strong 7.6 yards after catch per reception, including 8.8 last year. Dippre earned an 8.71 Relative Athletic Score at 256 pounds at the Combine, so he’s a good athlete. But his production profile ultimately leaves him as a long shot to emerge as a fantasy asset.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed South Carolina RB Raheim Sanders to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. “Rocket” Sanders was once a highly touted prospect expected to be a potential first-round NFL Draft pick. He rushed for 1,443 yards and 10 TDs at Arkansas in 2022, quickly ascending as a top RB in all of college football. Unfortunately, 2023 was plagued by injuries, including a knee issue and a severe shoulder injury that required surgery. He transferred to South Carolina in 2024 to reunite with OC Dowell Loggains, leading to 1,000+ total yards. He runs with adequate power but will need to clean up the fumbles after putting three balls on the ground in ‘24. After running a 4.46 40-yard dash at 217 pounds, Sanders showed he has the speed to impact NFL games.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed Clemson TE Jake Briningstool to an Undrafted Free Agent contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. The former four-star recruit started for the Tigers for the last two seasons, totaling 99 catches for 1,028 yards and 12 TDs. Briningstool doesn’t pop in the advanced metrics. Among 21 Combine TEs, he ranked 10th in Dominator Rating, 16th in yards per route, and 19th in Pro Football Focus receiving grade last year. And he registered an underwhelming 6.29 Relative Athletic Score at the Combine. But we like Briningstool’s tape. He has soft hands, can win at all levels of the field, and punishes DBs after the catch. We comped him to Dalton Schultz, who has turned in three top-12 fantasy seasons. Don’t be surprised if Briningstool becomes a fantasy factor over the next few years.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Florida WR Elijhah Badger to a Undrafted Free Agent Contract after the 2025 NFL Draft. A speedy 4.4 player, Badger can make a number of different catches and reliably gets open against man coverage. Badger led Arizona State in receiving in 2022 and 2023 before leaving for the SEC in 2024. He continued his success at Florida, leading the team in receiving yards and TDs. He had a 9.30 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 26th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 19.3%, and 15th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 81.5. He is currently 23 years old with a Breakout Age of 21.1. He ranked 23rd among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.03. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Jeff Janis. His experience and athletic upside make him an intriguing sleeper option.
