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.

Rams WR Van Jefferson (knee) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was just designated to return from IR earlier this week after early-August knee surgery. We'll see if Jefferson is ready for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan labeled Samuel "day to day" on Monday, but his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Rams is in question. WR Jauan Jennings (hamstring) also missed Wednesday's practice. We'll get another update on both guys tomorrow.

Commanders TE Logan Thomas (calf) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. He's been sidelined since hurting that calf in practice on October 7. We'll see if he's able to make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. TE Cole Turner missed Wednesday's practice with a concussion.

Commanders WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring) remained sidelined on Wednesday. It doesn't look like he'll make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Colts.

Texans WR Nico Collins (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. He seems unlikely to play vs. the Titans this weekend, which would give WR Brandin Cooks a projected target boost.

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He returned after hurting that ankle last week, so we're tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Texans on Sunday. But we'll get another update on his status tomorrow. Rookie QB Malik Willis will draw the start if Tannehill is out.

Jets WR Corey Davis (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Reportedly dealing with a sprained MCL, he's unlikely to play vs. the Patriots this weekend. That'll leave Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore as the top-2 WRs for the run-heavy Jets.

Saints TE Adam Trautman (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. If he remains out for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders, TE Juwan Johnson will be a low-end spot-start option in fantasy lineups.

Saints WRs Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) remained sidelined on Wednesday. Fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on either guy in Week 8 lineups.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That seemingly gives him a chance to return for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. We'll get another update on his progress tomorrow.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed to make it out of last week's win just fine, so this is likely more of a rest day after he handled another 23 touches vs. Houston. Jacobs should be fine for Sunday's game vs. the Saints, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.

Raiders QB Derek Carr (back) was limited in Wednesday's practice. We've heard nothing to suggest that his availability for Sunday's game vs. the Saints is in question, but we'll keep an eye on him over the next few days.

Cardinals RBs James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) got in limited practices on Wednesday. Both guys seemingly have a shot to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. We're guessing that Conner would re-assume lead duties, but RB Eno Benjamin might have earned himself a bigger role. Williams will likely return as the #3 RB.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all last week before missing the Cowboys game. Barring a setback, he should return for Sunday's game against Miami.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Lions HC Dan Campbell said earlier this week that St. Brown wasn't actually diagnosed with a concussion, but the new protocols still require him to go through this process. Barring a surprise, he'll be cleared for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins.

Lions TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He's made a habit of sitting out on Wednesday this year, so we're not worried about his Week 8 status at this point. We'll update Hockenson's status again tomorrow, ahead of Sunday's game vs. Miami.

Cowboys WR Noah Brown (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details, but his availability for Sunday's game vs. the Bears is now in question. We'll see if Brown is able to practice on Thursday.

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter said earlier this week that Hubbard could have returned to last week's game vs. the Bucs, so we're tentatively expecting him to play against the Falcons this weekend. But it'll be a different story if he's still sidelined on Thursday. Check back then for another update.

Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision for Thursday night's tilt with the Ravens, HC Todd Bowles said. Jones got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tampa could certainly use him with WR Russell Gage out, but Jones would be tough to trust in season-long lineups in his first action since Week 4.

Bucs WR Mike Evans (ankle) isn't listed on the final Week 8 injury report. He was limited in practice this week but should be ready for his usual role vs. the Ravens on Thursday night.
