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.
Giants HC Brian Daboll said Monday that RB Tyrone Tracy aggravated his ankle injury in the loss to the Falcons, according to Matt Citak of the team website.
Niners LB Dre Greenlaw appears likely to miss the final two games of the season with soreness in his calf. That's, of course, a more significant issue for Greenlaw than it might be for others because he's coming off an Achilles' tear from last year's Super Bowl. Greenlaw returned to play 30 snaps in Week 15, his first action since the injury. But he made it through just 4 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.
Saints rookie QB Spencer Rattler managed just 15-of-30 passing for 153 yards (5.1 per attempt), 0 TDs, and 1 INT in Monday night's shutout loss to the Packers. He also took 3 sacks and lost a fumble.
The Saints managed just 67 yards on 20 carries in Monday night's loss to the Packers. RB Kendre Miller drew a team-high 8 carries but turned them into just 15 yards (1.9 per rush). Most of that came on a single 10-yard run. QB Spencer Rattler easily led the team in rushing with 28 yards on 5 carries.
Packers RB Emanuel Wilson racked up 11 carries for 52 yards and a TD in Monday night's win over the Saints. He loaded up on second-half work after Green Bay pulled Josh Jacobs early in the third quarter. It was Wilson's most carries since Week 3, second-most yards of the season, and third TD of the year.
Packers QB Jordan Love threw for 182 yards and a TD before getting pulled from Monday night's lopsided win over the Saints. He found WR Dontayvion Wicks for the game's first TD but then watched his team score two more times on the ground before departing.
Packers RB Josh Jacobs got his final carry early in third quarter of Monday night's win over the Saints. He didn't get hurt. Green Bay simply didn't need him beyond that. Jacobs carried 13 times for 69 yards and a TD, adding 4 receptions for 38 yards on 4 targets before he left. Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks added rushing TDs as well.
Packers WR Christian Watson injured his right knee in Monday night's game against the Saints and is questionable to return. He sustained the injury on a second-quarter run, seemingly taking a shot to it by a stumbling defender after going down out of bounds. Watson initially returned to the game but then left again. We'll watch for more on his status, but Watson hasn't delivered much fantasy relevance. His absence would help Dontayvion Wicks' playing time.
Steelers WR George Pickens (hamstring) was a full participant in Monday's practice. He's on track to return for Wednesday's game vs. the Chiefs. The hamstring injury adds risk to Pickens' Week 17 outlook, but the full practice suggests he'll be ready for his usual workload. Pickens gets a Chiefs pass defense that hasn't been great lately. They rank 23rd in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs over the last five weeks.
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest, illness) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Packers. That leaves New Orleans with WRs Kevin Austin, Cedrick Wilson, Dante Pettis, and Mason Tipton. Hopefully you're not messing with the situation in fantasy lineups.
The Texans have claimed WR Diontae Johnson off waivers from the Ravens, according to multiple reports. That marks his fourth team since the end of last season.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been designated to return from IR. He'll practice this week and is eligible to play vs. the Patriots on Saturday. Dobbins said a couple of weeks ago that he was on track to be ready for Week 17. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days. He'd settle in as a risk/reward RB3 if he ends up playing against New England -- and take RBs Gus Edwards and Kimani Vidal out of lineup consideration.
Texans WR Tank Dell has been diagnosed with a torn ACL, dislocated kneecap, and other damage in his left knee, HC Demeco Ryans said Monday. That ends Dell's 2024 season and figures to challenge his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. We'll see when Dell has surgery and look for a timetable for return.
Packers TE Luke Musgrave has been activated from IR and will play against the Saints tonight, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Musgrave had ankle surgery in October and hasn’t played since Week 4. "They’ll ease him in," Pelissero adds. Musgrave is nothing more than a flier in one-game DFS tournaments. We don't expect him to have a significant impact on TE Tucker Kraft's playing time tonight.
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle ran 13 times for only 23 yards. He did catch all three of his targets for 28 yards. It was a tough game for Dowdle who lost a goal line TD to RB Ezekiel Elliott as well.
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving was explosive running the ball picking up 68 carries on 16 rushes, including one TD. He made the Cowboys defense miss numerous tackles throughout the game and was utilized in the passing game. He caught all three for his targets for 24 yards as well
Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. lost a pair of fumbles in Sunday's win over the Eagles. The first came on the team's second possession, and then Robinson logged just 1 touch over Washington's next two drives. After his second fumble -- early in the second quarter -- RB Chris Rodriguez saw his first action on the ensuing drive. Robinson did return again and finished the game as Washington's lead back. He still played 42 snaps to 19 for Jeremy McNichols and 7 for Rodriguez. Robinson logged just 10 carries for 24 yards and a 2-17 receiving line on 3 targets.
Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield needed a late comeback attempt to put up a solid fantasy day completing 31 of 43 for 304 yards and two TDs He also ran three times for 42 yards.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb caught six of seven targets for 100 yards in the first half before suffering a shoulder injury that knocked him for most of the game. He did return at points and had a catch on the Cowboys final drive taking his total for the day to 105 yards.
Eagles QB Kenny Pickett took over for Jalen Hurts (concussion) early in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to Washington. He finished the game 14-of-24 passing for 143 yards, with 1 TD and 1 INT. Pickett averaged just 5.96 yards per pass attempt and took 3 sacks among his 30 dropbacks.
