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.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bills. He had a good week by all accounts, progressing to a full practice on Friday. There’s still elevated risk to using Purdy in fantasy lineups with the throwing shoulder issue, though. And the spot is tough against the Bills’ ninth-ranked QB defense in wintery Buffalo. Purdy is not a recommended QB1 play – but his return is good news for San Francisco’s skill-position players. QB Brandon Allen is inactive as the emergency third QB tonight, leaving QB Josh Dobbs as the backup.

Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the 49ers. He was limited in practice all week but will now shoot for a Week 14 return. Buffalo will roll with WRs Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Curtis Samuel, and Mack Hollins tonight.

Saints TE Taysom Hill was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Rams with an apparent left knee injury. He had five catches and five carries for 47 total yards before exiting. We'll update his status when we know more.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Eagles with a knee injury. He wasn't targeted before exiting. We'll update Bateman's status when we know. His absence leaves snaps available for WRs Nelson Agholor, Diontae Johnson, and Tylan Wallace.

Vikings QB Sam Darnold struggled for most of Sunday's win over the Cardinals but saved his fantasy line (and the victory) with a pair of TD passes late. Darnold hit TE Johnny Mundt from 4 yards out for a score near the end of the third quarter. He found RB Aaron Jones for a 5-yard TD late in the fourth to take the lead for good. Darnold finished the game with 235 yards, 2 TDs, 5 sacks taken but no turnovers.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield suffered an apparent ankle injury on a sack in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He was down for a couple of minutes but eventually walked off under his own power. We'll update Mayfield's status when we know more. QB Kyle Trask has replaced Mayfield.

Update: Mayfield returned after missing just two snaps.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones carried just five times for 22 yards and added 3 receptions for a mere 6 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Fortunately, his final catch went for a 5-yard, game-winning TD to save an otherwise brutal fantasy line.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey went off for 9 catches and 117 yards in Sunday's win over Atlanta. The rookie saw a team-high 12 targets.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Panthers with a hip injury. His last touch came on a kick return at the end of the first half. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Irving returned on Tampa Bay's second possession of the second half.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray attempted a season-high 45 passes in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. But his production proved limited. Murray completed a solid 68.9% of his passes but at just 5.78 yards per attempt, his lowest rate since Week 7. Murray also threw just 1 TD pass. It was his fourth straight game with one or fewer and 10th game among 12 this season that included 1 TD pass or fewer. Murray added 48 rushing yards, his largest tally since Week 7.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson rushed 16 times for 103 yards and 1 score in Sunday's win over Tennessee. A week after suffering an ankle injury, Robinson looked 100% against the Titans.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride racked up 12 receptions for 96 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He tied WR Marvin Harrison Jr. for the team target lead while collecting 12 catches for the second straight game. That followed games of 3 and 4 receptions the previous two weeks.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. drew a season-high 12 targets in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He matched TE Trey McBride for the team lead and drew a strong 26.7% of Kyler Murray's pass attempts for the game. Harrison wasn't especially efficient but did catch five balls for 60 yards and the team's lone TD.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 25 of 30 passes for 206 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday’s blowout win over Tennessee. The rookie added his sixth rushing TD of the season.

The Bengals defense can make everyone look like a star. Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth caught six of seven team-leading targets for 68 yards and a TD. The TE was heavily involved in the short passing game this week.

Steelers WR George Pickens scored early against the Bengals catching three of six targets for 74 yards and that lone TD. He also hurt the Steelers with a finger gun celebration that knocked the Steelers out of the red zone. The FG attempt after that was promptly blocked. Luckily, the team still got the win, but it is another

Bengals WRs Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase each scored TDs in the high-scoring affair against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Higgins caught five of 10 targets for 69 yards and the TD. Chase had a big day as well catching six of nine targets for 86 yards and his TD.

QB Joe Burrow did have a superstar stat line: 28-of-38 for 309 yards and three TDs. But he also turned the ball over three times with one INT and two fumbles lost, including one returned for a TD. The Bengals offense scored 31 points, but still fell to the Steelers.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey suffered a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Falcons. He's officially questionable to return. McConkey had a huge outing before the injury, catching nine of 11 targets for 117 yards. We'll update his status when we know more.

Commanders WR Noah Brown is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Titans with a rib injury. Washington is up 35-13 early in the fourth quarter, so we doubt we'll see Brown again. He caught three of four targets for 27 yards before exiting.
