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.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reiterates that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee) is expected to return to practice next week. The team is "hopeful" Jackson will be able to play vs. the Falcons on Christmas Eve. We'll monitor Jackson's status throughout next week.

Bears S Jaquan Brisker and CB Kyler Gordon are both off the team's final injury report and set to return in Sunday's game against the Eagles. Each rookie has been out since suffering a concussion in the Week 11 loss at Atlanta. See where both sit in our Week 15 IDP rankings.

Jaguars LB Chad Muma (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He managed limited practices all week after missing last Sunday's win over the Titans. If Mama returns, fellow rookie Devin Lloyd would likely return to a part-time role. EDGE Travon Walker is questionable as well, but he missed practice all week with the ankle issue that knocked him out of the Tennessee game. We wouldn't look to play Walker in IDP lineups even if active. CB Darious Williams (abdomen) is also questionable. We'll check the status of all 3 on Sunday morning. S Andre Cisco was left off the final injury report after putting in full practices all week. He looks ready to return after missing the past 2 games. Andrew Wingard had been filling in.

Chiefs DT Chris Jones is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after missing Friday's practice with an illness. It was the 1st time this week that he showed up on the injury report. We'll check Jones' status Sunday morning.

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after being limited in practice all week. Perryman played every snap of last Thursday's game against the Rams, his 1st time doing so all year. So we'd guess he'll play but will keep an eye out for status updates.

Saints LB Pete Werner (ankle) and CB Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Both guys entered Week 13 questionable -- before the bye -- but didn't play. Werner and Lattimore each remained limited throughout this practice week. We'll see whether either is finally ready to return come Sunday.

Giants DL Leonard Williams (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders. Williams missed last week's game after leaving the previous Washington meeting early. We'll see about his status Sunday evening. The late kick makes him tough to wait for in many IDP lineups.

The Titans have ruled S Amani Hooker (knee), DL Denico Autry (knee) and CB Kristian Fulton (groin) out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. It'll be the 4th straight missed game for Autry and 2nd for Fulton. Hooker played the past 3 games, leaving early from last week's loss to the Jaguars. S Andrew Adams should get his 3rd straight game of starter-level duty in Hooker's absence. Adams has actually played 78% of snaps or more in 7 of the past 8 games, some with Hooker in the lineup and others without. Check the Week 15 IDP rankings for Adams' adjusted position.

Giants WR Richie James has cleared concussion protocol and will play vs. the Commanders on Sunday night. He caught 3 of 3 targets for 20 yards against Washington a couple of weeks ago. He's a basement-level PPR option.

The Buccaneers might get safeties Antoine Winfield Jr. and Mike Edwards back Sunday against the Bengals. Both are questionable after missing the past 2 games. Edwards (hamstring) put in full practices Thursday and Friday. Winfield (ankle) remained limited all 3 days. We'll see about their statuses Sunday. Tampa Bay ruled DT Vita Vea (calf), CB Jamel Dean (toe) and EDGE Carl Nassib (pectoral) out for the game. CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (quad) is questionable after putting in full practices every day. EDGE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka (hip) is also questionable after finishing the week with full participation Friday. We'll update all questionable defenders Sunday.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He didn’t practice on Thursday but returned to a limited workout on Friday. Brown should be able to play this weekend, but double check Arizona’s inactives around 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.

Commanders RBs Brian Robinson (quad) and Antonio Gibson (foot) were limited in practice this week, but neither guy is on the final injury report. They should both be ready for their usual roles vs. the Giants on Sunday night: Robinson the lead ball-carrier, Gibson mixing in on early downs and handling most of the pass-catching work.

Patriots RBs Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) and Damien Harris (thigh) are listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. Stevenson got in just a limited practice on Friday after hurting that ankle on Monday night. Harris was limited all week. We’ll look for further updates on this backfield ahead of Sunday’s 4:05 pm ET kickoff.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Raiders. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday to another limited practice on Friday. That’s a strange progression for a guy in the concussion protocol. Patriots-Raiders doesn’t kick off until 4:05 pm ET on Sunday, but we should get an update on Meyers by that morning. Patriots WR DeVante Parker (concussion) has been ruled out, leaving Nelson Agholor, Tyquan Thornton and Kendrick Bourne as New England’s top 3 healthy WRs.

Chargers S Derwin James (quad) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Titans. A 2nd straight missed game for James would put S Alohi Gilman in the starting lineup again but for a negative scoring matchup. We've added Gilman to the Week 15 IDP rankings.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, hand) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. Jacobs said on Friday that he’ll play. “I can hold the ball, so we'll see once I get hit on it a couple of times,” he said, adding that he’ll play with added protection on that injured pinkie. There’s some added risk here, but Jacobs remains a virtual must-start considering how productive he’s been all year.

Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) was designated to return from IR and practiced this week. But HC Andy Reid said Friday that he’s “leaning away” from playing Hardman vs. the Texans this weekend. There’s certainly no reason for Kansas City to push Hardman back for this one.

Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. HC Andy Reid was non-committal on Toney’s availability for that one when asked on Friday. Toney shouldn’t be in your Week 15 fantasy plans.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (right hand) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. Nothing to see here.

Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson (illness) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jets. He missed Thursday’s practice but returned for a limited Friday. We’d bet on Hutchinson playing but will obviously watch for confirmation
