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.
Jaguars CB Shaquill Griffin (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. He put in limited practices all week with the issue that kept him out of last Sunday's game. We'll check Griffin's status Sunday.
Vikings EDGE Za'Darius Smith (knee) is questionable for Sunday morning's game against the Saints. He missed the 1st 2 days of practice this week before putting in a limited Friday workout. Smith probably isn't worth the risk for most IDP lineups, but we'll at least know his status early Sunday with the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff in London.
Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has been cleared to play Sunday against the Falcons and carries no injury designation into the game. He left last Thursday's win over the Steelers early with a groin injury but progressed to limited practices the past 2 days. There's likely some added risk of re-injury vs. usual, but the absence of a questionable tag leaves us willing to play him. JOK has moved up our Week 4 LB rankings.
Browns EDGE starters Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney are questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Clowney continued to miss practice all week with the ankle injury that kept him out of Week 3. Garrett, of course, is dealing with relatively minor injuries following his car crash Monday. We'll check on the status of both players Sunday morning.
Update: Garrett says he "would love to go" Sunday but will need clearance from doctors, according to ESPN's Jake Trotter.
Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) isn’t listed on the final Week 4 injury report. We’ll see how big a role the rookie returns to vs. the Patriots on Sunday, but he can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (toe) isn’t listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He was a full participant in Thursday and Friday’s practices after sitting out on Wednesday with what reported as soreness. Taylor should be ready for his usual workload vs. the Titans on Sunday.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bucs. He didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday after a limited workout on Wednesday. Look elsewhere for your Week 4 fantasy kicker.
Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) is questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bucs. He was limited on Wednesday and Friday, sitting out Thursday’s practice. MVS isn’t a recommended Week 4 fantasy play at less than 100%. His absence would free up snaps for WRs Skyy Moore and/or Justin Watson.
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (heel) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday but is evidently good to go for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bucs.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Chiefs. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday and will be a game-time call, according to HC Todd Bowles. We’d try to leave Jones on fantasy benches until we see him make it through a game healthy.
Bucs WR Chris Godwin (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. HC Todd Bowles labeled Godwin a game-time decision on Friday. We'll look for further updates on his status, but he's probably better off on fantasy benches this week.
Bucs WR Russell Gage (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out on Friday -- the same routine he went through before playing last weekend. Gage should be available come Sunday night.
Texans TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. TE Pharaoh Brown and Jordan Akins split pass-catching duties in Jordan’s absence last week. Avoid the situation.
The Eagles have ruled CB Avonte Maddox (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Maddox injured an ankle in Thursday's practice and then missed Friday's workout. His absence improves the matchup for Jacksonville slot WR Christian Kirk.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 5. Allen's absence keeps Josh Palmer in the WR3 mix for another week.
Bills CB Dane Jackson (neck), DT Ed Oliver (ankle) and S Jordan Poyer (foot) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. All 3 missed last week's contest but put in limited practices throughout this week. DT Jordan Phillips (hamstring) is out for the 2nd straight game.
Lions TE T.J. Hockenson (foot) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. After sitting out on Wednesday, he was limited on Thursday and a full-go on Friday. So the foot shouldn’t be a real issue in Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. Hockenson should be in for an expanded role with RB D’Andre Swift and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown out.
Lions WRs D.J. Chark (ankle) and Josh Reynolds (ankle) are questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. Both guys got in 2 limited practices this week -- Chark on Wednesday and Friday; Reynolds on Thursday and Friday. We're expecting them both to play on Sunday and operate as Detroit's top 2 WRs with Amon-Ra St. Brown out. But check back around 11:30 am to make sure they're active.
Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. It sounds like Detroit plans to hold him out through the Week 6 bye. Jamaal Williams will operate as Detroit's clear lead back this weekend, with Craig Reynolds as the #2 RB.
Lions K Austin Seibert (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. K Dominik Eberle is on Detroit’s practice squad, so he figures to be the man to replace Seibert. Look elsewhere in fantasy.
