        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 WR Mike Williams is officially active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He spent the week on the COVID list after being deemed a close contact of WR Keenan Allen. But Williams never tested positive for the virus and should be ready for a full workload today.

        Ravens QB Lamar Jackson appeared to injure his right leg in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He was taken to the medical tent before being carted back to the locker room. We'll update Jackson's status when we know more. He was replaced by QB Tyler Huntley.

        Update: Jackson has an ankle injury, the team announced.

        Update: Jackson has been ruled out.

        Saints RB Alvin Kamara will carry the "full load" against the Jets today, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Kamara has been out since Week 9, but the Saints don't really have the option to ease him in with RBs Mark Ingram and Ty Montgomery on the COVID list. Kamara has as much upside as any RB this week.

        Jets LB C.J. Mosley (back) and DE John Franklin-Myers (hip) are active for today's game against the Saints.

        Texans DE Jonathan Greenard (foot) is active for today's game against the Seahawks. He's been playing through the foot issue for weeks and will be tough to sit in an upside sack matchup with Seattle.

        Seahawks S Quandre Diggs (calf) is active for today's game against the Texans. He'll carry nice big-play upside into the matchup.

        Ravens CB Anthony Averett (knee) and S Brandon Stephens (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Browns.

        Browns S Ronnie Harrison (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Ravens. Cleveland will also miss CB Greg Newsome, who suffered a concussion at the end of Friday's practice. Grant Delpit and Greedy Williams will enter the starting lineup in their places. DT Malik Jackson (knee) is active.

        Washington S Landon Collins (foot) is active for today's game against the Cowboys.

        Chiefs slot CB Rashad Fenton (knee) is active or today's game against the Raiders. He came in questionable but will play in an upside matchup with Vegas WR Hunter Renfrow.

        Washington RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. Antonio Gibson will continue to dominate backfield work and is an easy RB1 in fantasy lineups.

        As expected, Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (ankle) is inactive for today's game against the Chiefs. He entered the day doubtful.

        11:35am UTC 12/12/21

        Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (foot) is inactive for today’s game vs. Washington. That leaves only Corey Clement and JaQuan Hardy behind Ezekiel Elliott on the depth chart. Zeke should take on a bigger share of the backfield work today -- although we’re still expecting a pass-heavy game plan from Dallas.

        11:34am UTC 12/12/21

        Texans WR Brandin Cooks (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday, but it’s unclear if the back will be an issue today. Cooks carries more risk than usual in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

        11:33am UTC 12/12/21

        Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s certainly not the safest fantasy play in his first action since Week 9. But Jones also brings exciting upside with a chance to hog targets in today’s plus matchup.

        Texans RB David Johnson has been placed on the COVID list. He's out for today's game vs. the Seahawks. That should again leave Rex Burkhead as Houston's clear lead back, with Royce Freeman behind him. Burkhead, of course, is an unexciting fantasy option in this crappy offense.

        The Chiefs have ruled CB L'Jarius Sneed out for today's game against the Raiders after the death of his older brother. Sneed traveled to Louisiana on Saturday to be with family and reportedly remains there. We'll see whether he's ready to return for Week 15.

        Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (foot) won't play vs. Washington today, according to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. That leaves Corey Clement as Dallas' #2 RB and should mean an increased role for RB Ezekiel Elliott. Despite his ongoing knee trouble, Zeke looks like a borderline RB1 based on volume alone.

        Browns LB Anthony Walker will miss today's game against the Ravens on the COVID list. Malcolm Smith is expected to start in his place. Smith will carry some IDP upside, but Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is the top play among Cleveland LBs.

        Raiders RB Jalen Richard remains on the COVID list and won't play vs. the Chiefs today. With RB Kenyan Drake done for the season, Vegas is down to RBs Josh Jacobs and Peyton Barber. Jacobs, who's averaged 12.8 carries and 5.8 targets over the last 5 games, should continue to see big volume today.
