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 49ers expect to get LB Dre Greenlaw back for the Week 15 game against the Rams. He has put in limited practices each day of the past two weeks but was still ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Bears. Greenlaw, of course, has yet to play this season because he's recovering from the Achilles' rupture he suffered in the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs placed WR Mecole Hardman (knee) on IR. He's out until at least Week 18 after hurting his knee on Friday. Hardman has averaged just 1.2 targets per game this season, so there's very little fantasy impact here.
Vikings K Will Reichard (quad) has been activated from IR. K John Parker Romo was released in a corresponding move. Reichard will be back for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. He's a viable Week 14 fantasy start with Minnesota sporting a 25.5-point implied total.
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (hip, back) is expected to play vs. the Raiders tomorrow, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Irving only got in a limited practice on Friday, so there's added risk here. But, unless we get a report on his role being limited against Vegas, he'd be tough to leave out of Week 14 fantasy lineups.
The 49ers have activated S Talanoa Hufanga from IR. He put in limited practices all week and is officially questionable. But Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area on Friday called him "set to return" for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) is not listed on the final injury report and will play vs. the Bengals on Monday night. He got in just two limited practices this week and carries some re-injury risk. But Lamb still checks in as a top-12 WR in the Week 14 Rankings.
The Seahawks on Saturday downgraded RB Kenneth Walker III from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Walker's dealing with ankle and calf injuries that kept him out of practice Thursday and Friday. His absence elevates RB Zach Charbonnet to a lead role.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report. He'll be back for Monday night's game vs. the Bengals after missing the last two weeks. Ferguson has averaged 7.4 targets across his seven full games this season and is a volume-based, low-end TE1 play in Week 14 fantasy lineups.
The 49ers expect Edge Nick Bosa to miss his third straight game this week. Bosa's officially doubtful after missing all three practice days with the hip and oblique injuries that cost him the past two games. He has participated in just one practice since Week 10.
Panthers LB Josey Jewell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. He went from a limited Wednesday to sitting out Thursday's practice but then returning for a limited Friday. We'll need to watch Jewell's status ahead of the game. Carolina originally listed Edge Jadeveon Clowney (knee) as questionable as well but downgraded him to out Saturday.
The Giants have ruled LB Bobby Okereke out for Sunday's game against the Saints because of a back injury. HC Brian Daboll said earlier this week that he hoped Okereke would be ready for the game, so it doesn't seem like a long-term issue. But Okereke missed all three practice days. His absence should leave Micah McFadden and rookie Darius Muasau as the top two off-ball LBs vs. New Orleans.
Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He's dealing with a hyperextension and MCL issue in his left knee, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. That's the same knee in which Hall tore the ACL in October 2022. We haven't heard a timeline for Hall's return, but it's possible that the 3-9 Jets just shut him down for the season. He's worth keeping stashed on all fantasy rosters for now, but Hall owners should be prepping to be without him beyond just this week.
The Eagles are placing TE Dallas Goedert on IR with his knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That knocks Goedert out through Week 17, so he can be dropped from all redraft rosters. "The plan is for him to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs," Rapoport adds.
Vikings Edge Andrew Van Ginkel is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but he seems likely to play. Van Ginkel put in limited practices all week because of a thigh issue. And according to Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune, HC Kevin O'Connell "seemed optimistic about most of the questionable players being able to go."
Dolphins LB Anthony Walker is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. His progress through the practice week makes it look like he's trending toward playing, though. Walker sat out Wednesday's practice before going limited Thursday and full on Friday. If he can't go, then Tyrel Dodson would likely fill in for the second straight week.
The Titans defense gets a high-upside matchup with the Mac Jones-led Jaguars this Sunday, But the unit also has five potential starters questionable, including both starting LBs and a pair of corners. But they also expect to get CB Chidobe Awuzie back from IR. He hasn't played since Week 3 because of a groin injury.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Friday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Bengals on Monday night, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report on Saturday afternoon.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 14 injury report. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice and should be ready for a full slate of snaps against the Cardinals this weekend.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle, calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. After a limited practice on Wednesday, Walker was sidelined on Thursday and Friday. HC Mike Macdonald said Friday that he’s not sure if Walker will be ready for Sunday’s game. His absence would leave RB Zach Chabonnet in a workhorse role.
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Chargers. He injured his knee prior to Friday's practice, HC Andy Reid said. Hardman has averaged just 1.2 targets per game this season, so there's hardly any fantasy impact here.
