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.
An ankle injury for QB P.J. Walker pressed Panthers QB Baker Mayfield back into the starting lineup for Sunday's game in Baltimore. And Mayfield delivered more of what got Carolina's offense started so slowly this season. He threw for just 196 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs on 21-of-33 passing. WR Terrace Marshall was the only Panther to tally more than 26 receiving yards. He caught 3 balls or 76 on a team-high 6 targets. D.J. Moore managed just 3 catches for 24 yards on 5 targets. Bet on Mayfield bowing back out of the lineup as soon as someone else is ready.
Rams QB Matthew Stafford will undergo further testing on Monday to determine whether he'll enter the concussion protocol, according to the team. We'll update the situation when we know more. Stafford just sustained a concussion in Week 9.
The Score's Jordan Schultz reports that "early indications" are that Falcons TE Kyle Pitts did not tear any ligaments in his knee. Pitts is scheduled for an MRI on Monday, so we should learn more about his status then.
Bears QB Justin Fields was evaluated for a left shoulder injury after Sunday's loss to the Falcons, HC Matt Eberflus said. Fields seemed to be playing through some pain in the 2nd half of this one, although he didn't miss any time. We'll update his status when we know more.
Broncos RB Chase Edmonds left Week 11 with an ankle injury. He’s officially questionable to return.
Update: Edmonds has been ruled out.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson hurt his knee in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Lions and was quickly ruled out. The rookie had a big day before going down, catching 9 of 13 targets for 100 yards. We'll keep you updated on Robinson's status, but he won't be helped by the fact that the Giants play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
Broncos EDGE Baron Browning (hip) is active for today's game against the Raiders.
Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (ribs) is active for today's game against the Broncos. His return hurts the chances of LB Jason Brown seeing full playing time.
As expected, Vikings EDGE Za'Darius Smith (knee) is active for today's game against the Cowboys. He's likely to play limited snaps vs. his usual usage.
Cowboys EDGE Demarcus Lawrence (foot) and CB Anthony Brown (concussion) are active for today's game against the Vikings.
Rams QB Matt Stafford headed back to the locker room to get checked for a concussion in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Saints. Stafford, of course, missed last week's game with a concussion. We'll update his status when we know more. QB Bryce Perkins has entered for Los Angeles, with QB John Wolford out with a neck injury.
Falcons TE Kyle Pitts left in the 2nd half of Week 11 with a knee injury. He's questionable to return, per the team.
Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He was limited in practice all week but is reportedly "light years ahead of last week." It’s unclear exactly how backfield work will be divvied between RB Tony Pollard and Elliott in his 1st game back from the knee injury. See where both guys sit in the Week 11 RB Rankings.
Broncos WR Kendall Hinton (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He’s the favorite to serve as the #2 WR, with Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler out.
Raiders WR Davante Adams (abdomen) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He was limited in practice all week, but we never heard any concern about his status for this one. Adams is safe to get into fantasy lineups.
The Score's Jordan Schultz reports that Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) won't play vs. the 49ers on Monday night. Brown returned to practice this week after chipping a bone in his foot in Week 6. He's "feeling much better" and is hoping to return for Week 12, per Schultz. But Brown should be on fantasy benches for Week 11.
Giants DL Dexter Lawrence (back) is active for today's game against the Lions.
Lions S DeShon Elliott (concussion) and LB Malcolm Rodriguez (elbow) are active for today's game against the Giants. Rodriguez put in full practices all week but still entered the day questionable, indicating that his elbow is not all the way back. He missed last week's game with the injury after playing just 26% in the game where he hurt it (but returned). Rodriguez looks too risky for most IDP lineups. Elliott should be OK to use at normal levels.
Panthers S Jeremy Chinn (hamstring) is active for the 1st time since suffering his injury back in Week 4. We don't yet know just how much he'll play, but there's room for him to jump back into a full-time role with several other safeties missing. CB Jaycee Horn (foot) is also active.
Falcons CB A.J. Terrell (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Bears. It'll mark his 1st action since Week 7. Terrell hasn't made it through a full game since Week 5. The Chicago matchup hasn't been great for DB scoring, so he's far from a strong IDP option.
