        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.

        Giants RB Saquon Barkley left in the 2nd half of Sunday's game against the Packers with a shoulder injury. He's questionable to return. We'll watch for further updates.

        Update: Barkley returned in the 4th quarter and quickly ripped off a 41-yard catch and run.

        11:40am UTC 10/9/22

        Saints S Marcus Maye (rib) is inactive. It'll be his 3rd straight game missed with the injury.

        Bills WR Isaiah McKenzie (concussion) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Steelers. That leaves rookie Khalil Shakir as Buffalo’s #3 WR – and a nice cheap flier in DFS lineups.

        Dolphins CB Xavier Howard (groin) is inactive for today's game against the Jets. Already down starting CB Byron Jones for the 5th straight game, Miami's secondary presents an upside matchup for the talented Jets wideouts.

        11:40am UTC 10/9/22

        Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He got in 3 limited practices this week after missing last Sunday’s loss to the Eagles. Consider Jones a risk/reward WR4 in Week 5 fantasy lineups.

        11:40am UTC 10/9/22

        Chargers WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) is active for today’s game against the Browns. He was limited in practice all week after seeing his snaps scaled back in last Sunday’s win over the Texans. That leaves Palmer as a risky Week 5 fantasy play.

        Chargers K Dustin Hopkins (right quad) is inactive for today’s game against the Browns. Taylor Bertolet will kick in his place.

        11:39am UTC 10/9/22

        Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. It’s a plus matchup. But, between the knee that limited him in practice all week and a rookie QB making his 1st career start, Meyers would be a risky Week 5 fantasy play.

        Patriots S Kyle Dugger (knee) and CB Jalen Mills (hamstring) are active for today's game against the Lions.

        11:38am UTC 10/9/22

        Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Lions. That should mean more routes for TE Hunter Henry, but he’s still tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

        11:38am UTC 10/9/22

        Patriots QB Mac Jones (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Lions. 4th-round rookie QB Bailey Zappe makes his 1st career start. Expect a run-heavy game plan from New England.

        Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He figures to work behind RB Rashaad Penny again and isn’t a recommended fantasy play.

        Saints WR Jarvis Landry (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. With WR Michael Thomas also out, New Orleans is down to WRs Chris Olave, Marquez Callaway, Tre’Quan Smith and Deonte Harty.

        Browns EDGE Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) is active for today's game against the Chargers. It'll be his 1st game action since Week 2.

        11:34am UTC 10/9/22

        Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He played his usual allotment of snaps with this injury last week, so we’re not expecting it to be a big factor today.

        11:34am UTC 10/9/22

        Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He was added to the injury report on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. There’s some additional risk here, but we wouldn’t bench Hill in this plus matchup.

        Lions WR Josh Reynolds (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. Consider him a WR4 with Amon-Ra St. Brown back for this one.

        Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He got in just a limited practice on Friday – his 1st since going down in Week 3 – so it’s tough to know how close to 100% he’ll be for this one. St. Brown sets up as a high-risk/high-reward Week 5 fantasy play. See where he sits in the WR Rankings.

        Bears RB David Montgomery (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after missing Week 4. We’re projecting Montgomery to return as Chicago’s lead back, but he carries more risk than usual coming off the ankle injury.

        Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring) is inactive for today's games against the Steelers. Tyrel Dodson should be the fill-in. DT Ed Oliver (ankle) is active.
