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.

Browns S John Johnson III (thigh) is active for today's game against the Saints. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.

The forecast for today's Bills-Bears game calls for temperatures in the single digits, wind chill below zero and winds of 20-25 mph with gusts of 35-40 mph. Not quite as bad as what we're seeing in Cleveland -- but pretty ugly. We've adjusted our projections for this game to account for the weather.

Bengals CB Cam Taylor-Britt (shoulder) is active for today's game against the Patriots.

The forecast for today's Saints-Browns game calls for temperatures in the single digits with sustained winds of 20-25 mph and gusts of 40+. The wind chill is well below zero. They're brutal conditions that will significantly limit the passing and kicking games. Check out our projections for all the Saints and Browns players.

Saints CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) is inactive for today's game against the Browns. S Marcus Maye (shoulder) is active.

Vikings LB Eric Kendricks (hip) is active for today's game against the Giants. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.

Texans CB Steven Nelson (foot, knee) is active for today's game against the Titans. He remains a low-level IDP option.

Titans S Amani Hooker (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Texans.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. We’re not worried about the shoulder, but New England’s struggling passing game leaves Meyers as a weak WR3 play. WR Tyquan Thornton (knee) is also active.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He exploded for a 19-172-1 rushing line while playing through this ankle issue last week and will get a "full load" today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. RB Damien Harris (thigh) is inactive, leaving rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris behind Stevenson in the backfield.

Texans WRs Brandin Cooks (calf) and Chris Moore (elbow) are active for today’s game vs. the Titans. They figure to operate as Houston’s top 2 WRs in this plus matchup. See where Cooks and Moore sit in the Week 16 WR Rankings.

11:36am EST 12/24/22

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He only got in a limited practice on Thursday and was listed as questionable, so Fant figures to be operating at less than 100% in this one.

Seahawks WR Marquise Goodwin (wrist, ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He went from a full practice on Tuesday to a limited practice on Wednesday and then didn’t practice on Thursday. But we never heard any concern about his availability for this one. Consider Goodwin a risk/reward WR3 play.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He didn’t practice all week, so it’s safe to assume that he’s not at 100%. Walker played 75% of Seattle’s offensive snaps with this injury last week, though, and we haven’t heard anything about him being limited today. See where Walker sits in the Week 16 RB Rankings. RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is also active today; RB Wayne Gallman is a healthy scratch.

Bears WR Chase Claypool (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bills. With WRs Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown also out, Chicago is down to WRs Byron Pringle, Dante Pettis, Velus Jones and N’Keal Harry.

11:32am EST 12/24/22

Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. The rookie isn’t a recommended fantasy play with Malik Willis under center.

11:31am EST 12/24/22

Ravens Tyler Huntley (right shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. The shoulder shouldn’t be an issue, but Huntley hasn’t done enough this season to be more than a mid-range QB2.

The Score's Jordan Schultz hears that the Patriots "plan to sit" RB Damien Harris (thigh) against the Bengals today. "However, I’m also told he might still dress and be made available in an emergency," Schultz adds. We'll get New England's inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Harris needs to be on fantasy benches. His continued absence is a boost to RB Rhamondre Stevenson.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson's status for Week 17 remains uncertain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jackson has yet to practice since going down with a sprained PCL in Week 13. He's been doing some straight-line running, per Rapoport, and is expected to get back on the field for "football-related movements" this coming week. But whether he plays vs. the Steelers next weekend will depend on how that knee responds and Baltimore's standing in the playoff race. Jackson is more likely to play if the Ravens lose to the Falcons today, which would leave a playoff spot still in doubt. Stay tuned.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' status for Week 17 is uncertain. Hurts is dealing with an SC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder, per Schefter. Whether he plays vs. the Saints next weekend will depend on how that shoulder injury progresses, as well as where the Eagles stand in the playoff race. "If the Eagles can win Saturday in Dallas, they would not need to risk Hurts next week against the Saints," Schefter writes. "But if they lose Saturday, Hurts will push to play against New Orleans even if he is not fully healthy, as is expected to be the case, according to sources." We'll keep an eye on this, but fantasy owners should at least be preparing to be without Hurts again in Week 17.
