Denver Broncos Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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.

Broncos EDGE Bradley Chubb (shoulder, ankle) and DE Shelby Harris (ankle) are active for today's game against the Lions.

The Broncos have activated EDGE Bradley Chubb from IR. Chubb hasn't played since Week 2 because of an ankle injury that required surgery and reportedly even tweaked the ankle in practice this week. It appears Chubb will be ready for Sunday's game against the Chargers. We'd hold off on using him in IDP lineups, though.

Broncos S Kareem Jackson (neck) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Rookie Caden Sterns will start in Jackson's place next to Justin Simmons, according to The Denver Post. Sterns had a 2-sack game back in Week 4 and has 2 INTs among 4 total passes defensed on limited snaps this season.

The Broncos on Monday designated OLB Bradley Chubb (ankle) to return from IR. He had surgery back in September for a nagging injury. We'll see whether Chubb can make it back to the active roster for this week's game against the Chargers. We'll need to see at least a game's worth of playing time before considering Chubb for IDP lineups.

Broncos LB Baron Browning left Sunday's loss to the Eagles early with a back injury. Browning showed up on Thursday's injury report with a back issue that kept him out and then limited his Friday participation. HC Vic Fangio said after the game that he aggravated the existing back issue, according to the team website.

Broncos OLB Malik Reed (hip), CB Patrick Surtain II (knee), LB Baron Browning (back) and DE Shelby Harris (illness) are active for today's game against the Eagles. All entered the day questionable.

Broncos LB Baron Browning (back), OLB Malik Reed (hip), CB Patrick Surtain II (knee) and DE Shelby Harris (illness) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. HC Vic Fangio said Friday that he felt "good" about Browning's chances of playing. Browning popped up on the injury report Thursday, missing practice. But he returned for limited participation Friday. Harris returned for a limited Friday workout after missing the 1st 2 days and seems to be trending toward playing. Reed managed limited practices Thursday and Friday after sustaining his injury late in the Week 9 practice run and missing the win at Dallas. Surtain returned to a limited Friday practice, and Fangio said he'd need to look back over the tape of Surtain's practice to determine his status.

Broncos rookie CB Patrick Surtain II is expected to miss multiple games after suffering a knee sprain in Sunday's win at Dallas, ESPN reports. Kyle Fuller and Ronald Darby figure to be the Denver's top 2 CBs while Surtain is out.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Broncos are trading OLB Von Miller to the Rams for a pair fo 2nd-day draft picks. Miller missed Sunday's game against Washington with an ankle injury, but this move clearly indicates that the Rams aren't too worried about that issue going forward. With the Rams, Miller should immediately take over the starting job opposite Leonard Floyd, which had been manned by a committee. Denver started Malik Reed and Jonathon Cooper at the EDGE spots vs. Washington on Sunday and figure to roll with that duo until Bradley Chubb returns from IR. It's an obvious upgrade for a Rams team D that has already been strong in fantasy, and a downgrade for a Broncos unit that has fallen way off vs. its positive start to the year.

Broncos EDGE Von Miller (ankle) is inactive for today's game against Washington. That leaves a struggling Denver defense without 1 of its top players.

Broncos OLB Von Miller (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington. He missed practice all week, though, despite the longer break after playing Thursday night in Week 7. It was reported after he got hurt in Cleveland that Miller appeared likely to miss team. We'd try to not use him in IDP lineups this week even if active.

Broncos OLB Von Miller hurt his left ankle in the 1st half of Thursday night's game against the Browns. He's questionable to return.

Update: The team has now ruled Miller out for the game.

Broncos S Kareem Jackson (back) is active for today’s game against the Raiders

Broncos S Kareem Jackson (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. We'll check his status Sunday afternoon.

Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II is active for today's game against the Steelers. CB Ronald Darby -- who came off IR Saturday -- is inactive.

The Broncos activated CB Ronald Darby from IR Saturday, making him eligible to play Sunday at Pittsburgh. The team said earlier in the week that if Darby returned, he would play limited Week 5 snaps. Expect that role to grow beyond Sunday’s game, though

Broncos D-linemen Dre'Mont Jones (calf) and Shelby Harris (wrist, illness) are active for today's game against the Ravens.
