        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.

        Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and will be a game-time decision, per HC Kliff Kingsbury. Murray’s mobility could be compromised if he does suit up, adding downside to his Week 10 fantasy profile. If Murray sits, Colt McCoy will be under center.

        Rams QB Matt Stafford (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, and HC Sean McVay said Stafford is making “good progress.” He still has multiple stages of the concussion protocol to clear, though, so consider Stafford 50/50 to play on Sunday. QB John Wolford will get the start if Stafford is out.

        Colts TE Jelani Woods (shoulder) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. TE Mo Alie-Cox (ankle) is listed as questionable after getting in just a limited practice on Friday. Alie-Cox’s absence would leave TE Kylen Granson as Indianapolis’ clear lead TE. That might make him a DFS consideration, but you should be able to do better in season-long fantasy lineups.

        Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. The ankle still adds some risk to his fantasy profile, as does a floundering Colts offense. But Taylor should be in for plenty of touches on Sunday as long as that ankle holds up. RB Deon Jackson (knee) is out for Week 10, leaving Jordan Wilkins as Indianapolis’ likely #2 RB.

        Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers after being limited in practice all week. Owner Jerry Jones has said multiple times this week that he expects Elliott to play in that one, but Zeke sounded less sure when asked on Wednesday. We’ll look for further updates on his status. We won’t get Dallas’ inactives until 3 pm ET on Sunday.

        Cowboys WR Noah Brown (foot) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He missed Dallas’ last game before the Week 9 bye but will be back for Sunday’s meeting with the Packers.

        Packers WRs Sammy Watkins (knee) and Christian Watson (concussion) are not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. They figure to operate as Green Bay’s #2 and #3 WRs vs. Dallas this weekend with WR Romeo Doubs (ankle) sidelined.

        Packers RB Aaron Jones (ankle) was limited in practice all week but is not listed on the final injury report. The ankle still adds a bit of risk to Jones’ Week 10 fantasy profile, but he belongs in most lineups for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys.

        Broncos WR K.J. Hamler (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He’s averaged 3.0 targets over Denver’s last 4 games, so there’s minimal fantasy impact here.

        Jaguars TE Evan Engram (back) put in a full practice on Friday and isn’t listed on the final injury report. So the back issue that limited his last week shouldn’t be a problem on Sunday in Kansas City. Consider Engram a lower-end TE1 vs. the Chiefs’ 28th-ranked TE defense.

        Saints WR Jarvis Landry (ankle) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. So he’ll play vs. the Steelers on Sunday for the 1st time since Week 4. Landry had a big Week 1 but averaged just 4.0 targets, 2.7 catches and 18 yards over his next 3 games. He’s not a viable fantasy play this weekend.

        Saints RB Mark Ingram (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. RB Alvin Kamara posted a season-high 88% snap rate with Ingram out last week.

        Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Between this wrist injury, his recent trade request and Houston’s lackluster passing game, Cooks is a shaky Week 10 fantasy play. WR Nico Collins (groin) is also listed as questionable after 3 limited practices.

        Texans RB Dameon Pierce (chest, shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice after being limited the previous 2 days. Pierce should be ready for his usual workhorse role vs. the Giants this weekend.

        Lions WR Josh Reynolds (back) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bears. Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy will again serve as Detroit’s #2 and #3 WRs.

        Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice after being limited the previous 2 days. That’s an improvement over last week – but it’s worth remembering that Swift was a full participant in all 3 practices leading up to Week 8, before getting just 5 carries and 5 targets. It’s certainly possible that Swift’s volume grows this weekend vs. the Bears, but he remains a low-floor fantasy play.

        Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon (shoulder, knee, hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. The hamstring was added to the injury report on Friday, when McKinnon was limited in practice. His absence on Sunday would be a particular boost to RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s target projection. We’ll get Kansas City’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

        Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He's operated as Kansas City's #3 WR all year, averaging 4.3 targets per game (10% share). Hardman's absence leaves WRs Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore and Justin Watson behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. We're expecting a committee to replace Hardman, leaving Toney, Moore and Watson as low-floor fantasy plays. But Toney is our preference if choosing between them. Hardman has played 49% of his snaps in the slot this season. Toney was in the slot for 4 of his 9 snaps last week. Moore has played 39% of his snaps in the slot this season; Watson 40%.

        Giants WR Kenny Golladay (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. It sounds like he’s on track to return for that one after going down in Week 4. But Golladay remains well off the fantasy radar.

        Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (eye) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. TE Tanner Hudson ran a route on 83% of pass plays and drew 5 targets (16% share) in New York’s last game. He’s worth a look in DFS tournaments, but you should be able to do better in season-long fantasy lineups.
