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.
Buccaneers QB Tom Brady went 36-of-58 passing in Sunday's win over the Rams. He tallied 280 yards and 1 TD, but that came out to just 4.8 yards per attempt. And his lone TD came with just seconds remaining to give Tampa Bay the victory. TE Cade Otton caught that score and totaled 5-68-1 receiving on 6 targets. WR Mike Evans led the team with 11 targets but managed just 5 catches and 40 yards. WR Chris Godwin followed with 10 looks but tallied only 36 yards on his 7 receptions. WR Scotty Miller tied Godwin for the reception lead and collected 53 yards. His lone missed target was a late-game drop when an end-zone pass hit his facemask. Tampa Bay heads to Germany next Sunday morning to face a hot Seahawks defense.
Rams RB Darrell Henderson took the rushing lead back in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, rushing 12 times for 56 yards (4.7 per carry). RB Cam Akers gained just 3 yards on 5 carries in his return. Malcolm Brown added 9 yards on 2 carries. Brown logged the backfield's only reception, taking his lone target for 10 yards. Henderson went without a catch on 1 target. RB Ronnie Rivers played but didn't get a touch.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp enjoyed a huge game in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, despite coming off an ankle sprain late in their Week 8 loss. Kupp racked up 8-127-1 receiving on 9 targets in a game that saw the Rams throw for only 165 yards in all. WRs Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson tied for 2nd with 5 targets apiece. Robinson caught 3 for 24 yards. Jefferson went without a catch. TE Tyler Higbee went catchless on 1 target.
X-rays on Packers RB Aaron Jones' left ankle came back clean, he told reporters after the loss to Detroit. "A little sore," Jones said. "I was fine. They sent me for X-rays. X-rays were fine, but they decided to hold me [out]. It was frustrating because I felt like I could have went, but they were being smart. I definitely respect them, because after I stopped moving around and I sat still for a while, it got kind of sore." It sounds like Jones avoided a serious injury, but we should learn more tomorrow.
The Patriots threw for just 147 yards in Sunday's win over the Colts. QB Mac Jones completed a decent 66.7% of passes but averaged just 4.9 yards per attempt. WR Jakobi Meyers caught 5 of 6 targets but managed a mere 42 yards. TE Hunter Henry caught all 4 of his targets for 50 yards. RB Rhamondre Stevenson led the team with 7 targets and claimed Jones' sole TD pass. New England gets a Week 10 bye.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson got no meaningful boost from Damien Harris being out (illness) in Sunday's win over the Colts. Stevenson rushed 15 times for 60 yards and added 3 catches for 10 among a team-high 7 targets. He did claim the team's only TD reception. RB J.J. Taylor ran 2nd in the backfield, gaining just 9 yards on 10 carries and catching his lone target for 8 yards.
Colts RB Deon Jackson gained just 23 yards on 11 carries in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, starting in place of injured RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle). Jackson added 2 receptions for 13 yards on 3 targets. RB Jordan Wilkins followed Jackson with 13 yards on 3 carries but beat him in targets (5), catches (4) and receiving yards (15). RB Phillip Lindsay ran for 2 yards on his lone carry and watched his lone target fall incomplete. We'll see if Taylor can make it back for next Sunday's visit to Las Vegas.
Raiders LB Divine Deablo left Sunday's loss to the Jaguars with a right-forearm injury. LB Blake Martinez took advantage, tallying a team-high 11 tackles (8 solo). We'll see about the severity of Deablo's injury and check out the snap counts for Martinez and LB Denzel Perryman (10 tackles) once they're released.
Lions S Kerby Joseph delivered 10 tackles and 2 INTs (among 3 passes defensed) in Sunday's win over the Packers. Unfortunately, HC Dan Campbell said afterward that Joseph is in the concussion protocol, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard. We'll see how he progresses. Detroit visits Chicago in Week 10.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence ran for a season-high 53 yards in Sunday's win over the Raiders. He matched his season high of 6 rushing attempts from Week 6. Lawrence has increased his rushes over the past 5 contests (4.6 per game) vs. the first 4 (2.5). He also went 25-of-31 passing against Las Vegas, for 235 yards and 1 TD. The 109 passer rating marked just his 2nd game among the past 6 with a rating better than 84.3. The Jaguars head to Kansas City in Week 10.
Jaguars WR Christian Kirk led the team in targets (9), receptions (8) and receiving yards (76) in Sunday's win over the Raiders. He also snagged the team's lone TD pass. It marked the 1st time since Week 4 that he led the team in targets by himself. WR Marvin Jones followed with 6 targets. He and Zay Jones tied with 5 receptions apiece, though each fell short of 50 yards. TE Evan Engram tallied just 1 catch for 8 yards among 2 targets. Jacksonville visits the Chiefs in Week 10.
Titans DT Jeffery Simmons (ankle) and EDGE Bud Dupree (illness) are active for tonight's game against the Chiefs.
Bills EDGE Gregory Rousseau left Sunday's loss to the Jets with an ankle injury. We'll see about the severity this week.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney is officially active for tonight’s game vs. the Titans. We’ll see exactly how big a role he plays after joining Kansas City 10 days ago. Toney is a fun play in 1-game DFS contests but would be a flier in season-long fantasy lineups.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. QB Malik Willis gets another start after completing just 6 of 10 passes for 55 yards, 0 TDs and 1 INT in last week’s Derrick Henry-led win over the Texans. Willis figures to be forced to throw more tonight – and we’re not expecting it to go well.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne delivered 109 yards and 2 TDs on 28 carries in Sunday's come-from-behind win over the Raiders. He added 2 catches for 17 yards on 2 targets. It's the 2nd straight game of 24+ rushing attempts since Jacksonville traded RB James Robinson. RB JaMycal Hasty claimed the only 2 other RB carries (for 6 yards) vs. Vegas and caught his lone target (for 5 yards). The Jaguars head to Kansas City in Week 10, to face another soft run defense.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs drew 17 of the team's 19 carries in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville but gained a just-OK 67 yards (3.9 per rush). He added 3 catches for 20 yards (6.7 per reception) on 3 targets. RBs Brandon Bolden and Zamir White got 1 carry apiece. RB Ameer Abdullah drew 3 targets, catching 1 for 8 yards.
Raiders WR Davante Adams racked up 10 catches for 146 yards and 2 TDs on 17 targets in Sunday's come-from-ahead loss at Jacksonville. He garnered 47.2% target share, 47.6% of QB Derek Carr's completions, 56.4% of the team's receiving yards and the only 2 TDs. TE Foster Moreau ranked 2nd with 5 targets, catching only 2 for 42 yards. WRs Hunter Renfrow (3-26 receiving) and Mack Hollins (2-17) each drew 4 targets. The Raiders host the Colts in Week 10, a defense that entered Sunday as a near-neutral scoring matchup for fantasy QBs but 4th-toughest on WRs.
Packers RB Aaron Jones' left foot was in a walking boot after Sunday's loss to the Lions. He suffered an ankle injury in the 3rd quarter of that one and didn't return. We should learn more about the injury on Monday. Jones' absence would leave A.J. Dillon as Green Bay's feature back.
Packers EDGE Rashan Gary left Sunday's loss to the Lions on a cart with a right knee injury. He was seen using crutches after the game, according to Nick Menner of WLUK Fox 11. We'll see about the severity of Gary's injury. he'll be a big loss for the Green Bay defense if he's set to miss further time.
