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.

Dolphins WR Will Fuller missed Wednesday's practice due to chest and elbow injuries. We don't have any other details right now. We'll get another update on Fuller's status tomorrow.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's on the injury report with a hip, rather than the knee it looked like he injured late in last week's loss to the Vikings. Regardless, Lockett seems to be on track to play vs. the 49ers this weekend.

Rams RB Darrell Henderson (ribs) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. "He had a good look in his eye and took part in the walk thru just now," HC Sean McVay said. "So I think the expectation and anticipation is that he’ll play, but not 100% sure." Henderson was getting feature-back usage before the rib injury, but we wonder if Los Angeles will lighten his load a bit going forward. Check back tomorrow for another update on Henderson's status.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. He sat out all 3 practices last week before playing 91% of the snaps vs. Jacksonville. But Hopkins mustered just 3 catches on 6 targets for 21 yards. We're fully expecting him to play against the Rams this weekend, but consider Hopkins more of a WR2 until we know he's healthy.

Bears QB Andy Dalton (knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. HC Matt Nagy seems intent on going back to Dalton when he's medically cleared -- which will be a lot easier to do after QB Justin Fields' ugly Week 3. We'll get another update on Dalton tomorrow.

The Colts went without several defensive starters in Wednesday's practice. LB Darius Leonard (ankle), DE Kwity Paye (hamstring), S Khari Willis (ankle, groin) and CB Rock Ya-Sin (ankle) all missed the workout. Leonard sustained his injury last week and missed Thursday's practice before playing through it at Tennessee. The other 3 left Sunday's game early. We'll see about the progress for each throughout the week.

Jets S Marcus Maye is expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks with an ankle injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jarrod Wilson looks like the next man up, though the Jets are also getting S Ashtyn Davis back from IR this week. We'll see about the replacement plan at safety.

Jets WR Elijah Moore (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. The rookie is looking unlikely to play vs. the Titans this weekend.

Jets WR Jamison Crowder (groin) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. It gives him a chance to make his 2021 debut vs. the Titans this weekend. Crowder should take over as New York's slot receiver once healthy, but he shouldn't be in Week 4 fantasy lineups.

Vikings TE Tyler Conklin (glute, elbow) did not practice on Wednesday. Conklin is coming off his best game of the season, and we weren't aware of any injuries suffered in Week 3. We'll get another practice report from Minnesota tomorrow.

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. He reportedly had a chance to play last week -- and this early-week work bodes well for his Week 4 status. Check back tomorrow for another update on Cook.

Patriots RB James White is expected to miss the rest of the season with his hip injury, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's a significant loss, as White had racked up 13 targets through the first 2 weeks of the season. We're intrigued to see who steps into the all-important pass-catching back role for the Patriots. It was special-teamer Brandon Bolden after White exited last week.

Seahawks TE Gerald Everett has been placed on the COVID list. We don't know if he's vaccinated, which would give him a shot to be cleared for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers. If Everett is out, Will Dissly will step in as Seattle's lead TE.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (shoulder) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Jaguars. We still don't have a timetable for Higgins' return. Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd will again operate as Cincinnati's clear top 2 WRs in tomorrow's plus matchup.

49ers TE George Kittle (calf) missed Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan said Kittle's calf is sore but that he "should be ok" for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. We'll get another update on Kittle's status tomorrow.

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a chance to play vs. the Seahawks this weekend. It was clear San Francisco didn't fully trust RB Trey Sermon in Week 3, so we're expecting a healthy Mitchell to re-emerge as the 49ers' lead back.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He's in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. His absence would likely mean a bigger role for WR Allen Lazard.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) got in a full practice on Wednesday. So he should be back for this weekend's game vs. the Jets -- good news for a Titans offense that might be without both A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. We still wouldn't trust Firkser in season-long lineups, but he could be a sneaky DFS play.

Titans WR Julio Jones did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with a hamstring. So now we know what limited him to just 50% of the snaps last week. Jones' status for Sunday's game vs. the Jets is "up in the air," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll get another practice report from the Titans tomorrow.

As expected, Titans WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Fantasy owners shouldn't be planning on having him in Week 4 lineups. But we'll continue to keep an eye on him over the next few days.
