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.

Chargers LB Drue Tranquill (chest) is active or today's game against the Patriots.

All the defensive starters New England listed as questionable for today's game against the Chargers are active. That includes LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (ribs), DB Kyle Dugger (neck), DT Davon Godchaux (finger), LB Dont'a Hightower (ankle), LB Kyle Van Noy (groin) and DE Deatrich Wise (knee).

2:44pm EDT 10/31/21

Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable, so don’t expect him to be at 100% today.

2:38pm EDT 10/31/21

Seahawks RB Alex Collins (groin) is active for today’s game against the Jaguars. He got in just 2 limited practices this week, but there was never much concern about his availability for this one. Collins is the best bet for touches in Seattle’s backfield but figures to be in a timeshare with Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas.

2:36pm EDT 10/31/21

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (hip) is active for today’s game against the Patriots. He was reportedly sore after Wednesday’s practice, so HC Brandon Staley opted to give him the next 2 days off. It adds some risk to Ekeler’s Week 8 profile. But if you waited on him, get him in your starting lineup. It’s worth noting that RB Joshua Kelley is a healthy scratch, leaving just RBs Justin Jackson and Larry Rountree behind Ekeler. That suggests the Chargers aren’t very concerned about Ekeler.

Bears RB Damien Williams is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the 49ers after suffering a 1st-half knee injury. Stay tuned for an update.

Eagles WR Jalen Reagor injured his ankle in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Lions. He's officially questionable to return but was carted back to the locker room. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Reagor has been ruled out.

Bucs HC Bruce Arians told FOX's Jay Glazer that he only plans to use TE Rob Gronkowski (ribs) in "emergency situations" vs. the Saints today. Gronk should be on fantasy benches.

ESPN's David Newton reports that Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is "on target" to return for next weekend's game vs. the Patriots. Of course, we thought CMC was about to return multiple times since suffering this hamstring injury back in Week 3. We'll see how he fares in practice this coming week.

Lions EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) is active for today's game against the Eagles.

Texans LB Christian Kirksey is active for today's game against the Rams. He's dealing with a thumb fracture but said he planned to play through it.

Rams CB Jalen Ramsey (illness) and S Jordan Fuller (knee) are active for today's game against the Texans.

Panthers LB Shaq Thompson (foot) is active for today's game against the Falcons. He hasn't played since Week 4 because of the foot injury. CB Stephon Gilmore is also off the PUP and set to make his debut for what should be an improved Carolina defense.

Dolphins LB Jerome Baker (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Bills. When Baker left last week's game early, Sam Eguavoen led Miami LBs with 84% playing time. Andrew Van Ginkel (76%) and Elandon Roberts (70%) followed. There's no safe bet in the corps for IDP lineups.

11:45am EDT 10/31/21

Jets LB C.J. Mosley (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Bengals. Use him as you planned to in your IDP lineups. S Ashtyn Davis is also active after entering the day questionable.

Browns DE Jadeveon Clowney (ankle, groin, knee) is active for today's game against the Steelers. He'll be a risky IDP option, though, dealing with multiple injuries that kept him out of practice all week.

Bears DL Akiem Hicks (groin) and S Tashaun Gipson (hip) are active for today's game against the 49ers. The defense will be missing star pass rusher Khalil Mack, though.

11:40am EDT 10/31/21

Colts CB Xavier Rhodes (calf) is active for today's game against the Titans. That'll be important for defending against WR A.J. Brown, but we're not altering anyone's fantasy outlook.

11:35am EDT 10/31/21

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Bills. It’ll be his 1st action since Week 8. Parker would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups, but he figures to siphon some targets from WR Jaylen Waddle and TE Mike Gesicki.

11:35am EDT 10/31/21

Jets WR Corey Davis (hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He hurt his hip in Thursday’s practice, and his status going forward is uncertain. HC Robert Saleh suggested Friday that WR Denzel Mims will step into Davis' role -- but he can't be trusted in fantasy lineups with QB Mike White under center.
