Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

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.

Ravens TE Mark Andrews injured his left ankle on the opening possession of Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals. He was able to limp off the field under his own power and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more. Isaiah Likely will take over as Baltimore's lead TE for however long Andrews is out.

Update: Andrews went into the x-ray room on crutches, according to the Prime TV broadcast. Don't expect to see him back out there tonight.

Update: Andrews has officially been ruled out.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He told reporters afterward that he has an AC joint sprain in that left shoulder but fully plans on playing vs. the Packers this weekend. We'll update Allen's status again tomorrow.

Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) graduated to a full practice on Thursday. It's confirmation that he's set to return for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Coming off a multi-week hamstring injury and in a negative matchup. Freiermuth is not a recommended TE1 this week.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (thumb) returned to a full practice on Thursday. It looks like Wednesday was pretty much a rest day. Johnson should be ready for his usual role vs. the Browns this weekend.

Bears RB Khalil Herbert (ankle, shin) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He was a full-go all last week before missing the Thursday nighter vs. the Panthers, so we can't say yet that Herbert will definitely play vs. the Lions this weekend. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Vikings WR K.J. Osborn (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He was actually cleared for last weekend's game vs. the Saints, but the team opted to hold him out. Barring a setback, Osborn will play vs. the Broncos on Sunday night. And he'll be a viable WR4 play if WR Justin Jefferson remains out with his hamstring injury.

Vikings RB Alexander Mattison (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's unlikely to be cleared in time to play vs. the Broncos on Sunday night. Mattison's absence would leave Ty Chandler as Minnesota's lead back against the #32 RB defense.

Rams QB Matt Stafford (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. "I feel pretty confident in my ability to go out there and play at a pretty high level," he said afterward. Stafford will start this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks, but we'd still like to see a healthy, productive outing from him before using him in 1-QB fantasy leagues.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He's been out or limited each of the past four Wednesdays and played each week. He should be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Rams.

Commanders RB Antonio Gibson (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. No word yet on his status for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. His absence would free up some passing-down work for RB Brian Robinson. Check back tomorrow for an update on Gibson.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's eligible to return for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, and The Miami Herald's Adam Beasley said Monday that there's "an excellent chance" he does. HC Mike McDaniel stopped short of guaranteeing that Achane will play on Sunday but sounded optimistic, calling the rookie "un-tackleable" in Monday's practice. "I feel good about where we're at," McDaniel added. We'll keep an eye on Achane over the next few days.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (knee) remained limited in Wednesday's practice. He got in three limited practices last week before missing the 49ers game. Jones, of course, is also facing misdemeanor domestic battery charges, although that situation is unlikely to prevent him from playing this weekend. We'll see about the knee.

Texans WR Nico Collins (calf) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He said afterward that he "felt great" and will play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. Collins ranks 15th among WRs in PPR points per game and will belong back in fantasy lineups if he's active on Sunday.

Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. At this point, he seems unlikely to return for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. That'd mean another big workload for RB Devin Singletary, who carried a whopping 30 times last week.

Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of last weekend's game fine, so this might be more of a rest day for a guy with 13 catches over the last two games. Check back tomorrow for another update on Brown.

Chargers TEs Gerald Everett (back) and Donald Parham (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. Everett was knocked out of last weekend's game with the back injury. Parham's hip issue is a surprise. We'll see if one or both guys are able to practice on Thursday. Stone Smartt is the Chargers' top healthy TE.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. He was able to return to last week's game after hurting the shoulder, catching a 38-yard TD late in the fourth quarter. So we're tentatively expecting Allen to play vs. the Packers this weekend. But HC Brandon Staley wouldn't say for sure that Allen would be available, only saying that he's "hopeful." We'll update his status again tomorrow.

Bears RB Khalil Herbert (ankle, shin) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's been working his way back from the ankle injury, but the shin is new this week. He remains uncertain for Sunday's game vs. the Lions. We'll keep you updated on Herbert's progression throughout the week.

Bears QB Justin Fields (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's confirmation that he's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Lions -- and a good sign that the thumb shouldn't be a major factor. See where Fields sits in the Week 11 QB Rankings.

Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's eligible and reportedly on track to play vs. the Browns this weekend. We'll see how he progresses over the next few days.
