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.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. He didn’t practice all week, but HC Pete Carroll is still optimistic. “His chances are really good at playing,” Carroll said Friday. “We just put him on ice to make sure that he can get stronger through these last two weeks. He was a little bit hampered last week, but he made it through, and so we’re just trying to be careful with him.” We’ll look for an update on Lockett’s status on Sunday morning. Seahawks-Chargers doesn’t kick off until 4:25 pm ET.
Raiders WR Mack Hollins (heel) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. We haven't heard any concern about his availability for that one, but you'll need to check back around 2:30 pm ET on Sunday for Vegas' inactives if you're hoping to use Hollins.
Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Texans. He was added to the injury report and sidelined on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. HC Josh McDaniels said he’s “hopeful” Renfrow will be able to play vs. Houston. We’ll look for an update on his status on Sunday morning. Raiders-Texans doesn’t kick off until 4:05 pm ET.
Raiders TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. He didn't practice all week, so it's possible that he misses more time. TE Foster Moreau (knee) is off the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He'll be Vegas' lead pass-catching TE this weekend and is a lower-end spot-start option. Moreau averaged 4.8 targets, 3.7 catches and 41 yards in 6 games without Waller last year -- although that came in a different offense.
Patriots QB Mac Jones (ankle) was again limited in Friday's practice. It's still unclear if he'll be ready to play vs. the Bears on Monday night. We'll get New England's final injury report on Saturday afternoon.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) put in another full practice on Friday. He remains on track to return for Monday night's game vs. the Bears.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Steelers. That late kickoff could put fantasy owners in a tough spot. We’ll look for an update on Waddle’s status on Sunday morning.
With J.K. Dobbins headed for knee surgery, ESPN's Jamison Hensley says the Ravens "will rely on Kenyan Drake." He adds that Justice Hill "is back" for this week's game against the Browns and that Gus Edwards "could also be activated" from the PUP ahead of the game. But it sounds like we should expect Drake to run 1st in the backfield for at least Week 7. That's enough to make him the best bet for fantasy football rosters right now, with the understanding that this is a fluid situation.
Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. He’ll get a Week 8 bye to hopefully clear concussion protocol.
Chargers TE Donald Parham (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. His absence makes TE Gerald Everett a safer fantasy play.
Jaguars WR Marvin Jones (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. He got in 3 limited practices this week after missing last Sunday’s loss to the Colts. We’ll get Jacksonville’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but Jones would be a risky fantasy play if he ends up active. WR Jamal Agnew (knee) has been ruled out.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) was a full-go in practice all week and isn’t listed on the final injury report. It’s a strange situation after Schultz was a late scratch for last Sunday night’s game vs. the Eagles. But the injury report suggests that he’s ready for his usual role against the Lions this weekend. Consider Schultz a risk/reward Week 7 fantasy play.
The Colts have ruled LB Shaquille Leonard (nose) and EDGE Kwity Paye (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Titans. Leonard finished the week with 2 full practices, making him seem close to a return. So he likely needs more time to heal from the surgery for his broken nose. Paye has yet to practice since suffering his high-ankle sprain in Week 5.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (thumb) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Lions on Sunday for the 1st time since the opener. There’s obviously risk to a QB returning from a throwing-thumb injury. But the ceiling is lofty against Detroit’s 28th-ranked QB defense.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. We’re tentatively expecting Swift to return for that one – but it’s clear that he’s still not at 100%. See where Swift sits in the Week 7 RB Rankings.
Lions WR Josh Reynolds (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys. He got in just a limited practice on Friday. So, if Reynolds plays on Sunday, it’s safe to assume he’ll be doing so at less than 100%. He’d be a risky fantasy start.
Lions WR D.J. Chark (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. He’s having trouble with the ankle he fractured in September 2021 and has no public timetable to return. Chark is not a must-stash on fantasy rosters.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’s ready to step back into his usual high-volume role vs. the Cowboys on Sunday.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. HC Frank Reich confirmed on Friday that Taylor will resume handling the bulk of the backfield work vs. the Titans this weekend. RBs Nyheim Hines (concussion) and Deon Jackson (quad) are also off the final injury report but aren’t viable fantasy plays.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. HC Nathaniel Hackett called him a game-time decision on Friday. Wilson, of course, was struggling before dealing with this hamstring injury. Hopefully you don’t need him in Week 7 fantasy lineups. If Wilson is out this weekend, Denver would turn to QB Brett Rypien.
