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.

Rams WR Demarcus Robinson caught one of the two TD passes Matthew Stafford threw in Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. But that came among just 2 receptions for 15 yards. Robinson's TD also arrived on the first play after CB Isaiah Rodgers entered the game for the Eagles, signaling the Rams were targeting the new guy.

Rams WR Puka Nacua racked up 117 yards on 9 receptions in Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. He has topped 50% playing time in just four games this season. Each of those contests has seen him catch at least seven passes and tally 98+ yards.

Rams QB Matthew Stafford threw for an OK 243 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday night's loss to the Eagles. But one of those came in garbage time, and he took a season-high-tying 5 sacks. That marks two games of 4+ sacks among the past three.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for a decent 179 yards and 1 TD on just 22 pass attempts in Sunday night's win over the Rams. He added 39 yards on 12 rushing attempts. But Hurts didn't do much to help fantasy lineups, thanks primarily to Saquon Barkley running for 2 TDs and Kenneth Gainwell claiming a third.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran for 255 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday night's win over the Rams. That marked the ninth-largest rushing-yardage total in NFL history. Barkley scored from 70 and 72 yards out, and he added 4-47 receiving on 4 targets.

Cowboys TE Luke Schoonmaker delivered for your fantasy team if you had to start him in Week 12. He tallied 55 yards and a TD on 3 receptions. But his 4 targets marked just a 12.5% share of Cooper Rush's 32 pass attempts. That did at least tie for second on the team, but well behind CeeDee Lamb's lead (12).

Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle tied his career high with 22 touches in Sunday's win over the Commanders. He carried 19 times -- second most this season -- and caught all 3 targets. Dowdle tallied 86 yards on the ground (4.5 per carry) and 12 yards receiving (4.0 per catch). He watched the team's only two offensive TDs go elsewhere.

Cowboys QB Cooper Rush threw for 247 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's surprising win at Washington. That's going to land him among the top 12 fantasy QBs for Week 12, a week after he threw for 354 yards and a TD in a loss to Houston (and finished QB17).

Commanders WR Terry McLaurin racked up 102 yards and a TD on 5 receptions in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. Most of that came on a single play late in the fourth quarter, though. McLaurin caught a pass with 33 seconds left and took it to the end zone from 86 yards out. That means his other 4 catches totaled just 16 yards.

Commanders WR Noah Brown drew a team-high 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He caught six for 71 yards, setting personal season highs in all three categories.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels was on his way to a poor fantasy outing through most of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, but turned it around in the fourth quarter. He wound up with 275 yards and 2 TDs passing, plus 74 yards and another TD on the ground.

Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. led the team with 6 receptions and 96 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions. That accounted for 54.5% of QB Anthony Richardson's completions and 55.8% of his passing yardage for the game. It also marked just the second time all season that Pittman has exceeded 63 yards in a game this season.

The Cardinals offense was a fantasy disappointment for most of Sunday, but TE Trey McBride caught 12 of 15 targets for 133 yards. With one of the best fantasy schedules remaining for a TE, he is locked in as a top option the rest of the way.

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his four game streak of 60+ receiving yards posting six catches on seven targets for 77 yards and a TD. He now has at double digit PPR fantasy points in each of the last four games and 19+ in three straight games. With D.K. Metcalf only ending up with four receptions for 59 yards, JSN’s sophomore breakout continues.

Harrison Jr. had another disappointing game with the whole Cardinals team taking a nosedive against the Seahawks. He only caught three of his six targets for 47 yards.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray completed 24 of 37 passes for 285 yards and no TDs. He threw an interception as well. With only two rushes for nine yards, it was an incredibly disappointing day for the entire Cardinals offense, but Murray laying an egg makes him a volatile play moving forward.

Raiders QB Gardner Minshew will miss the rest of the season after breaking his collarbone in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. HC Antonio Pierce said afterward that QB Aidan O'Connell might be ready to return from his broken thumb for Friday's game vs. the Chiefs. If not, Vegas would start QB Desmond Ridder, who went 5-for-10 for 64 yards with a lost fumble in relief of Minshew vs. Denver. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but this remains a spot to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ran just 11 times for 35 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He got only 1 carry in the second half, despite Indy being within 8 points at the start of the third quarter. Taylor also went without a reception for the first time since Week 1.

Raiders QB Gardner Minshew suffered an apparent left shoulder injury late in Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He was replaced by QB Desmond Ridder. QB Aidan O'Connell is expected back from his broken thumb within the next week or two. We'll see who's under center for Vegas against the Chiefs on Friday afternoon, but you won't want that guy in your fantasy lineup.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson ran for a career-high 61 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He added just 172 yards on 11-of-28 (39.3%) passing, with 0 TDs but also no turnovers or sacks.
