        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.

        2:56pm UTC 10/23/22

        Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. HC Brandon Staley said Friday that Allen will likely be on a snap count. He’s more of a WR3 this week – but Allen is available if you were waiting on him.

        2:49pm UTC 10/23/22

        Texans TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He joins O.J. Howard and Jordan Akins in Houston’s TE corps.

        Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He was added to the injury report and sidelined on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. We haven’t heard anything about a snap count for Renfrow today, but he obviously carries elevated risk in fantasy lineups. WR Mack Hollins (heel) is also active for Vegas.

        Giants TE Daniel Bellinger was poked in the eye in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. It immediately swelled up, and Bellinger had to be carted to the locker room. We'll update his status when we know more.

        Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown sustained a concussion in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. It's his 1st documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week.

        Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that the 49ers' initial plan is to get RB Christian McCaffrey "about 20 snaps" vs. the Chiefs today. Glazer adds that that could change based on the flow of the game. 20 snaps is about one-third of the game. Of course, what matters for fantasy is how many touches McCaffrey gets on those snaps. He remains a risk/reward Week 7 fantasy play. See where McCaffrey sits in the Week 7 RB rankings.

        Ravens CB Marcus Peters (quad) is active for today's game against the Browns.

        Jaguars LB Foye Oluokun (calf) is active for today's game against the Giants. He belongs in IDP lineups.

        Browns EDGE Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) is active for today's game against the Ravens.

        ESPN's Jeremy Fowler hears that Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is "trending positive" for this afternoon's game vs. the Seahawks. Fowler adds, though, that the final decision on Allen won't come until pregame warmups. That obviously puts fantasy owners in a tough spot, with Chargers inactives not coming until 3 pm ET. We'd try to keep Allen on fantasy benches if possible. HC Brandon Staley suggested on Friday that Allen will be on a snap count if he plays.

        Buccaneers CB Carlton Davis (hip) is inactive for today's game against the Panthers. S Mike Edwards (elbow) is active after missing last week.

        The Panthers are starting Chuba Hubbard in the backfield today, according to multiple reports. The Athletic's Joseph Person reports that HC Steve Wilks says the team will go with a committee, however, to replace Christian McCaffrey. We'd play Hubbard first but aren't excited about either Carolina RB.

        Panthers LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder) is active for today's game against the Buccaneers. He missed the past 2 with the injury. CB Jaycee Horn (ribs) is inactive. CB Donte Jackson (ankle) is active.

        Ravens RB Mike Davis is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Browns. RBs Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill and Gus Edwards are up for Baltimore. Expect a 3-man committee backfield, with Drake our best guess as the leader.

        11:35am UTC 10/23/22

        Commanders TE John Bates (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Packers. He figures to split TE duties with Cole Turner. Avoid the situation in fantasy lineups.

        11:34am UTC 10/23/22

        Commanders WR Jahan Datson (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Packers. The rookie re-injured his hamstring in Thursday’s practice and didn’t practice on Friday. With WR Dyami Brown (groin) also out, Cam Sims will operate as Washington’s #3 WR behind Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel.

        11:33am UTC 10/23/22

        Jaguars WR Marvin Jones (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He was limited in practice all week after missing last Sunday’s loss to the Colts. Jones would be a risky Week 7 fantasy start.

        11:33am UTC 10/23/22

        Packers WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Commanders. He just returned to practice this week after going down in late September. Watkins isn’t a viable Week 7 fantasy play, but his return adds a bit of risk to WR Romeo Doubs profile.

        11:32am UTC 10/23/22

        Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was limited in practice all week, so it’s fair to assume that Bateman still isn’t at 100%. Consider him a risk/reward WR3.

        11:32am UTC 10/23/22

        Ravens TE Mark Andrews (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we never sensed much concern about his status. Andrews remains a must-start in season-long fantasy leagues.
