The little monster is just playing. Tilly was the same way. You'll get through it! What worked for us was spraying water (which I HATED to do, but it was a last resort). The trick is you spray him when he's not looking (bc he's attacking you!) and never let him see the bottle. He'll think it's some magical thing that happens when he bites and he shouldn't do it anymore. We also would put Tilly in "time out" in the bathroom for one minute EVERY time she bit. Eventually she knew she'd get in trouble if she bit (so she'd bite and then run away... hahahaha). The best thing you can do is try to distract him until he's over this phase. I found that marrow bones are AMAZING! He'll be occupied for hours. Also, we got a baby gate, and would play through the gate... like, dangle a rope toy in, but our feet and body parts were safely on the other side! Also, a TIRED puppy is a good puppy. Keep him tired. Walks, playing with other dogs, etc are the BEST ways to keep him from having the energy to be so rough.
