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 Steelers only had 12 RB carries against the Eagles and no runners had over 14 yards on the day. Najee Harris ran six times for 14 yards while Jaylen Warren ran four times for 12 yards. It was a disappointing day all around. They each had one catch on the day as well.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley carried the ball 19 times for 65 yards in the Eagles win over the Steelers. He also caught both of his targets for nine yards. It was a disappointing fantasy performance for the top RB scorer on the season.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts had a massive fantasy performance against one of the best overall defenses in the league in the Steelers. He completed 25-of-32 passes for 290 yards and two TDs. Hurts also added 45 yards and a TD on the ground on 15 rushes.
Broncos QB Bo Nix only threw for 130 yards but did toss three TDs and three INTs in the Broncos win. He completed 20-of-33 passes. He was also the Broncos' leading rusher, running eight times for 23 yards.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor gave up a near TD by dropping the ball in celebration right before the goal line. The play turned into a touchback and the Colts never recovered. He ended the game with 22 carries for 107 yards and only one catc for four yards.
Saints WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught just two passes in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. But he did so on a team-high 7 targets. MVS hit halftime with 0 catches on 3 targets but then logged 2 receptions among 4 targets for 64 yards in the second half, after New Orleans switched from QB Jake Haener to Spencer Rattler.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (calf) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Packers. That should mean another busy outing for RB Zach Charbonnet, who has averaged 18.0 carries, 5.3 targets, and 123 total yards in three games without Walker this season.
Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Colts with a quad injury. McLaughlin was leading Denver RBs with seven carries and 21 rushing yards when he exited. His absence leaves the backfield to Javonte Williams and Audric Estime.
The Saints yanked QB Jake Haener at halftime for Spencer Rattler and nearly came back to beat the Commanders. Rattler went just 10-of-21 passing for 135 yards and a TD but didn't turn the ball over and took no sacks. Haener threw for just 49 yards on 4-of-10 passing with an INT and 3 sacks taken before he left.
Saints RB Alvin kamara left early in the fourth quarter with a groin injury Sunday. But he and Kendre Miller each carried five times before that. Miller added another four attempts after Kamara left to finish with 46 yards on 9 carries. He drew 1 target that fell incomplete. Kamara rushed five times for 12 yards before leaving and tallied a 4-58-1 receiving line.
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle set a career-high with 25 carries and 149 yards in Sunday's win over Carolina. He’s now hit the century mark in three straight outings.
Colts WR Alec Pierce sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos and won't return. It's his second documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week. Pierce's absence means a boost in snaps for WR Adonai Mitchell.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels had a good passing day and led his team's rushing in Sunday's victory over the Saints. But he also took a lot of pressure from a defense that entered the day tied for just 22nd in the league in sacks. Daniels went 25-of-31 passing for 226 yards and 2 TDs. He added 11 carries for 66 yards.
Texans QB C.J. Stroud managed only 131 yards in Sunday's win over Miami. He hit two TDs for only the fifth time this season.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa threw three INTs in a Week 15 loss at Houston. Tua finished with 196 yards and 1 TD on 29 of 40 passing.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was the big fantasy winner in the Ravens’ victory over the Giants catching three of five targets for 80 yards and two TDs. It was the first multi-TD game of Bateman’s career as he becomes the deep threat for QB Lamar Jackson and the offense.
Giants WR Malik Nabers caught 10-of-14 targets for 82 yards. He also had a TD from QB Tim Boyle in the fourth quarter. Nabers led the team in targets with WR Wan’Dale Robinson second on the team with nine.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy only had 10 carries for 31 yards and lost the only Giants rushing TD to RB Devin Singletary. Tracy did add one catch for four yards, but it was far from an effective fantasy performance.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry disappointed fantasy managers only carryign the ball 14 times in the Ravens win over the Giants. He totaled only 67 yards and did not find the end zone despite the team scoring five TDs.
Browns RB Nick Chubb broke his left foot in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, HC Kevin Stefanski said afterward. That will end Chubb's 2024 season after just eight games, although it shouldn't threaten his readiness for the start of the 2025 campaign. Of course, it's just another lower-body injury for a guy who's suffered a pair of devastating knee injuries. Chubb turns 29 later this month. His absence leaves Jerome Ford as Cleveland's likely lead back the rest of the way. He averaged 9.6 carries and 4.6 targets across five healthy games without Chubb at the beginning of this season.
