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.

Cardinals TE Maxx Williams (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and was listed as questionable. Williams should be ready to play his usual role today but is a fringe fantasy option.

3:09pm EDT 10/10/21

Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was reportedly a game-time decision. Edmonds carries added risk in Week 5 fantasy lineups.

Bears EDGE Khalil Mack is active for today’s game against the Raiders. S Tashaun Gipson is also active for the 1st time since Week 2

2:42pm EDT 10/10/21

Browns TE David Njoku (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and shouldn’t be in Week 5 fantasy lineups.

Washington WR Curtis Samuel is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Saints with a groin injury. This is presumably the same issue Samuel has been dealing with since the spring. Stay tuned for an update.

Saints WR Deonte Harris is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. Washington with a hamstring injury. We'll update his status when we know more.

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster injured his shoulder in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos and is questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Smith-Schuster has been ruled out.

Dolphins QB Jacoby Brissett hurt his hamstring in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs and was carted to the locker room. He's officially questionable to return, but it sounds like we shouldn't expect him back. QB Reid Sinnett is Miami's backup today. Ouch.

Update: Brissett returned on Miami's next possession.

According to Jeremy Rauch of FOX 19 in Cincinnati, Bengals beat writer Geoff Hobson said this morning that he thinks RB Joe Mixon will get "pretty darn close to his normal work load" today. We're all guessing at how many touches Mixon will get and how his sprained ankle will hold up to it. Whether to start him in fantasy ultimately comes down to a personal call on risk vs. reward, plus the other options.

Washington DL Daron Payne is active for today's game against the Saints. He popped up on the Friday injury report with a toe issue that left him questionable, but Payne is available for IDP use.

Buccaneers EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul and CB Jamel Dean are active for today's game against the Dolphins. JPP missed the past 2 contests with a shoulder injury but carries intriguing IDP upside into this contest.

Lions EDGE Trey Flowers is active for today's game against the Vikings. He missed the past 2 games while dealing with shoulder and knee issues. Flowers remained limited in practice all this week, listed with only the knee. He's available but still a risky IDP option.

Jaguars rookie CB Tyson Campbell is inactive for today's game against the Titans.

Titans LB Bud Dupree is inactive for today's game against the Jaguars. DL Denico Autry is active after arriving questionable.

Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II is active for today's game against the Steelers. CB Ronald Darby -- who came off IR Saturday -- is inactive.

11:41am EDT 10/10/21

Titans RB Darrynton Evans (knee) is active for today's game vs. the Jaguars. We'll see what kind of role he plays in his 2021 debut.

Patriots CB Jalen Mills is inactive for today's game against the Texans. LB Ja'Whaun Bentley, LB Kyle Van Noy and S Kyle Dugger are active, after arriving questionable.

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) is inactive for today’s vs. the Eagles. He put in 3 limited practices this week and seemingly has a good shot to return for Week 6. Chuba Hubbard gets another game as Carolina’s lead back but ceded pass-catching work to RB Rodney Smith last week.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder, hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bucs. With WR Will Fuller also out, Miami is down to WRs Jaylen Waddle, Preston Williams, Albert Wilson and Mack Hollins. Waddle and TE Mike Gesicki are strong target bets today.

11:35am EDT 10/10/21

Bucs RB Gio Bernard (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He put in a full practice on Friday and should be ready to retake his usual passing-down role. Bernard isn’t a Week 5 fantasy option but lowers RB Leonard Fournette’s ceiling a bit.
