        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.

        The Colts have downgraded WR Michael Pittman (quad) to out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. With Alec Pierce already out, Parris Campbell, Ashton Dulin and Mike Strachan suddenly look like the top 3 wideouts for Sunday's upside matchup with the Jaguars. The WR situation hurts QB Matt Ryan's fantasy upside but helps the target upside for Colts RBs and TEs. We still wouldn't have an Indy TE in play for most fantasy formats. But Nyheim Hines gets more interesting.

        Cardinals DE J.J. Watt (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. He practiced Thursday for the 1st time since training camp. That, however, fell between a missed practice Wednesday and a limited Friday. He'll make for a risky IDP option even if active Sunday.

        The Raiders have ruled LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He missed practice every day this week with the injury that knocked him out of the opener. We'll see about his status for Week 3. Divine Deablo led Vegas LBs in playing time in Week 1. The Raiders have also ruled out S Tre'von Moehrig. Duron Harmon should start in his place.

        Cardinals S Jalen Thompson (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

        Rams EDGE Leonard Floyd hurt a knee in Wednesday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. HC Sean McVay said Floyd's knee checked out structurally, but he missed practice each of the past 2 days. Floyd doesn't look like a good bet to play. Even if he does, he'll be risky. Don't play to use him in IDP lineups.

        Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (groin) and CB Marcus Peters (knee) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Peters put in a full Thursday practice between 2 limited workouts. He missed Week 1 with the same issue. Humphrey popped up limited on Thursday's injury report and then missed Friday's workout. We'll check the status on both corners Sunday morning. Missing both guys would obviously put the defense in a rough spot against Miami WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

        Dolphins DT Christian Wilkins (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. He popped up on the injury report Thursday and was limited the past 2 days. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

        Patriots S Adrian Phillips (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. He was limited all week in practice. We'll see about his status Sunday morning.

        Colts CB Kenny Moore (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He sustained the injury in Wednesday's practice and then sat out Thursday. But Moore returned to a full workout Friday. So it seems we should expect him to play.

        Giants EDGE starters Azeez Ojulari (calf) and Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) are doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers. The defense will also be without #2 CB Aaron Robinson (appendicitis).

        Commanders S Kamren Curl is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Curl put in limited practices this week with the thumb injury that cost him Week 1, but ESPN's John Keim said he didn't test the thumb by catching passes. Keim added that Curl says the ligament in the thumb needs to heal. It sounds like we should expect Curl not to play. If that's the case, Darrick Forrest will fill in again. Forrest tallied 5 tackles (4 solo) with an INT, a 2nd pass defensed and a forced fumble in the Week 1 win over the Jaguars.

        Texans TE Brevin Jordan (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. Houston reportedly expects Jordan to play, but he wouldn’t have been a recommended fantasy play even at 100% after working in a 3-man TE committee alongside Pharaoh Brown and O.J. Howard in the opener.

        Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (hernia) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. He put in full practices on Wednesday and Friday and a limited workout on Thursday. Walker is ready to make his NFL debut vs. the 49ers this weekend, although we’re expecting him to work behind RB Rashaad Penny.

        49ers TE George Kittle (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks after returning to a limited practice on Friday. “He looked awesome," HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward, adding that Kittle will be a game-time decision. This is a 4:05 pm ET kickoff, which might put Kittle owners in a tough spot. We'll see if we get an update on his status on Sunday morning.

        Raiders RB Brandon Bolden (hamstring) didn't practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. Bolden replaced RB Josh Jacobs on some passing downs in the opener. Look for RB Ameer Abdullah to pick up that work in Week 2.

        Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (calf) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report after putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday. He was limited to 60% of the snaps in the opener, but it looks like he's ready for a full-time role vs. the Raiders on Sunday. Ertz could see big volume in that game with WRs Rondale Moore and DeAndre Hopkins out.

        Broncos EDGE Randy Gregory (shoulder, knee) and LB Josey Jewell (calf) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Texans. Gregory played through a questionable tag in Week 1, so we’d bet on him doing so again. Jewell missed Week 1. Alex Singleton worked as the lead LB in his absence and would carry tackle upside again if Jewell sits

        Colts DT DeForest Buckner is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars with a hip injury. ESPN’s Stephen Holder writes “odds are that Buckner will play” but adds that he’ll test the hip Saturday. We’ll watch the status for the defensive star

        ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Chargers QB Justin Herbert has fractured rib cartilage. HC Brandon Staley reportedly said the team will assess Herbert’s status Wednesday. If your league runs waivers before that, then make sure you have an insurance QB for Week 3

        Packers WR Allen Lazard (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Bears. He was limited in all 3 practices this week. The late kickoff could make this a tricky situation for folks hoping to use Lazard in fantasy lineups. We’ll see if we get an update on his status on Sunday morning.
