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 WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring) are active. They figure to join Dante Pettis as New York’s top 3 WRs. Slayton has some WR3 appeal as the likely target leader.

Ravens LB Patrick Queen (thigh) is active for today's game against the Bengals. He spent the week limited in practice after seeing limited playing time last week, a game he left but returned to after suffering the thigh injury. Queen makes for a risky IDP play this week.

11:34am EDT 10/24/21

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is active for today’s game vs. the Packers. He remained limited in practice this week, although ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggested this morning that the stress fracture in Gibson’s shin is improving. He still comes with elevated risk in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Dolphins WRs DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Falcons. Preston Williams (groin) is active and figures to operate as Miami’s #2 WR behind Jaylen Waddle.

As expected, Jets LB C.J. Mosley is inactive for today's game against the Patriots. He hit the weekend doubtful after missing practice all week with a hamstring injury. There was at least 1 beat report that called him a game-time decision this morning, but we removed the LB from our Week 7 rankings Friday night. Expect Quincy Williams to lead Jets LBs today.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch for today's game against the Jets. New England is going back to RB J.J. Taylor alongside RBs Damien Harris and Brandon Bolden. Stevenson's absence makes Harris a slightly safer fantasy play.

11:31am EDT 10/24/21

Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after aggravating that hamstring injury in Monday night’s win over the Bills. Jones is the ultimate risk/reward fantasy play today.

Jets RB Tevin Coleman (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game against the Patriots. He leaves a handful of touches behind for RBs Michael Carter and Ty Johnson.

Top Washington CB William Jackson III (knee) will be inactive for today's game against the Packers. That only enhances an already strong matchup for Packers WR Davante Adams.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) has an "outside chance" to return for next weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. Barkley will "likely" be back for Week 9's game vs. the Raiders, Rapoport adds. It's not a surprise after Barkley remained sidelined in practice all week. We'll see if he gets back on the field this coming week, but fantasy owners shouldn't plan on having him in Week 8 lineups.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (calf) remains on track to play vs. the Vikings next Sunday night, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Prescott will be held out of Monday's light workout but is expected to practice on Wednesday. "The team will monitor him closely to make sure he's moving like himself and not putting himself at risk of a relatively minor issue turning into something more," Rapoport adds. We'll keep a close eye on Prescott this coming week.

Washington QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (hip) is still "weeks away" from returning and not a lock to return at all this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Fitzpatrick's original timeline had him returning in late October, but it sounds like his recovery has gone slower than expected. Fitzpatrick is still on crutches, per Rapoport, and is expected to get another MRI on that hip this coming week. QB Taylor Heinicke will remain Washington's starter for the foreseeable future -- and potentially the rest of the season.

Washington RB Antonio Gibson is expected to play vs. the Packers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Gibson "has shown improvement and is feeling better lately" with the stress fracture in his shin, Schefter adds. Gibson remains a risky fantasy option today after being unable to finish last week's game.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring) has "an uphill battle" to play against the Falcons today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Parker was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable. Parker should be on fantasy benches for now. We'll get Miami's inactives around 11:30 am ET.

Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is expected to play against the Chiefs today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jones has plenty of upside in this likely shootout. But he's a risky fantasy play after being unable to make it through Monday night's win over the Bills

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) will play vs. the Titans today. Like last week, Hill got in just 1 limited practice this week and is listed as questionable. But he played through this injury -- and produced -- in last Sunday's win over Washington.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Bears WR Allen Robinson (ankle) will play vs. the Bucs today. Robinson got in 2 limited practices this week and is listed as questionable, but there was never much doubt about his status after he played through this injury last week.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Giants WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring) are expected to play against the Panthers today, barring a setback in pregame warmups. WR Sterling Shepard, meanwhile, is a game-time decision with his hamstring injury. We'll get his status around 11:30 am ET, but Shepard will obviously come with elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he ends up active.

Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, barring a setback in pregame warmups, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Engram seemingly aggravated his calf injury in Thursday's practice and then was limited on Friday. He's a risky Week 7 fantasy play.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision for today's tilt with the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Waller "strained his inner ankle and heel" in Friday's practice and doesn't "feel great," Schefter hears. Eagles-Raiders doesn't kick off until 4:05 pm ET, putting fantasy owners in a tough spot. If you're waiting on Waller, Raiders backup TE Foster Moreau, Cardinals TE Zach Ertz, Bucs TEs O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate, Bears TE Cole Kmet and Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox are potential fill-ins if Waller ends up inactive. Check out the Week 7 TE Rankings to see how we rank those guys.
