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.
Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) is "in line" to start Sunday's game vs. the Vikings, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. QB Matt Barkley was not elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, leaving only Allen and QB Case Keenum on the active roster. "Allen is able to grip a football and he did some throwing on Friday. That gave enough confidence to proceed without elevating Matt Barkley from the practice squad," Rapoport adds. Allen certainly carries more risk than usual in Week 10 fantasy lineups, but it'd be tough to bench him unless you for some reason also own Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts. Playing Justin Fields or Tua Tagovailoa over Allen wouldn't be crazy. We just updated our Bills projections.
ESPN’s Ed Werder reports that the Cowboys don’t expect to decide whether RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) will play at Green Bay on Sunday until they see him in pregame warmups. “Expect a conservative decision,” he adds. That suggests it’s more likely Elliott doesn’t play. RB Tony Pollard looks like a stronger touch bet than usual either way, though not having Elliott in the lineup would obviously help his outlook
The Steelers on Saturday returned EDGE T.J. Watt to the active roster. He’s officially good to go for Sunday’s game against the Saints. Watt said earlier in the week that he doesn’t expect to be on a snap count
Steelers S Minkah Fitzpatrick will miss Sunday’s game against the Saints because of appendicitis, the team announced Saturday. Pittsburgh also placed CB William Jackson (back) on IR. He’ll now miss at least 4 games. That makes for a beat-up secondary against New Orleans
Commanders RB J.D. McKissic (neck) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. That'll leave most of the pass-catching work out of the backfield to RB Antonio Gibson.
Commanders WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report after putting in full practices on Friday and Saturday. The rookie will play vs. the Eagles on Monday night for the 1st time since Week 4. Dotson scored 4 times through the season's first 4 games but averaged a middling 5.5 targets and 3.0 catches per game. We'd keep him on season-long benches against Philly's 4th-ranked WR defense.
Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (hip, ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. He put in limited practices the past 2 days after missing Wednesday. If he's ready to go, Perryman will carry big upside against a Colts team that has supplied more fantasy points to LBs than any other.
Colts EDGE Kwity Paye popped up on the injury report after missing Friday's practice with ankle trouble. He's now questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. It's particularly worrisome because Paye missed 3 games with a high-ankle sprain before his Week 9 return. We'll see about his status Sunday, but you might not be able to wait for him in IDP lineups thanks to the late-afternoon kickoff.
Lions S Kerby Joseph (concussion) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears. HC Dan Campbell said Friday, though, that he's "good to go." LB Malcolm Rodriguez (elbow) is also questionable. He returned to last week's game after sustaining the injury but played limited snaps. Rodriguez will be a high-risk play in IDP lineups this week.
Broncos S Justin Simons (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. He missed Wednesday's practice before returning for 2 limited days. We'll see about his status Sunday morning. Denver ruled EDGE Baron Browning (hip) out for the game.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be ready for a full workload vs. the Chargers on Sunday night.
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) will be activated from IR and play vs. the Chargers on Sunday night, HC Kyle Shanahan said. Mitchell has been out since going down with a sprained MCL in the season opener. He figures to return as the #2 RB behind Christian McCaffrey. Mitchell is unlikely to hold standalone fantasy value but is worth rostering as the CMC handcuff.
Titans QB Ryan Tannehill (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. He was limited in Wednesday's practice, a full participant on Thursday and limited again on Friday. We're guessing that was the plan coming into the week, rather than a setback, and that Tannehill will start Sunday's game. We'll look for further updates on the situation and will get Tennessee's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
The Saints have ruled CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) and LB Pete Werner (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Steelers. S Marcus Maye (abdomen) is questionable after missing practice Thursday and Friday. EDGE Marcus Davenport (calf) is questionable after being limited all week.
Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. He put in just a limited Friday practice this week. LB Matt Milano is off the final injury report after finishing the week with a pair of full practices.
The Packers have ruled LB De'Vondre Campbell (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. That leaves rookie Quay Walker as the only Green Bay LB worth playing in IDP lineups.
Chargers K Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the 49ers. Cameron Dicker will kick for Los Angeles for the 2nd straight week.
Chargers WRs Mike Williams (ankle) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) are out for Sunday night’s game vs. the 49ers. Williams is probably still a couple of weeks away from returning from his high-ankle sprain. Allen has no timetable to return from his lingering hamstring problem. Josh Palmer will again operate as Los Angeles’ top WR this weekend, with DeAndre Carter the #2.
Seahawks WR Marquise Goodwin (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Bucs. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. So Goodwin should be available for this one, but he’s not a viable fantasy option behind WRs D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
Cardinals K Matt Prater missed Friday’s practice with an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He’s also still on the injury report with the hip injury that cost him 3 games earlier this season. We’d look elsewhere for a Week 10 fantasy kicker.
