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.
Panthers LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder) put in a full practice Wednesday. That bodes well for his chances of returning after missing Sunday's loss to the 49ers. We'll watch to confirm that.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said earlier this week that Schultz is expected to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Eagles, but we wouldn't trust him in fantasy lineups with this recurring knee issue.
Eagles RB Boston Scott (ribs) is off the Week 6 injury report. So he'll be back for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys after missing the past 2 weeks. Scott averaged 3.3 carries and .3 targets over the season's first 3 games, so his return is just a slight knock to RB Miles Sanders' volume projection.
Eagles K Jake Elliott (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. That gives him a shot to return for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys. We'll see what Elliott does over the next couple of days.
Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he can make it back for this weekend's showdown vs. the Bills.
Bills TE Dawson Knox (foot, hamstring) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs, although he'd be a shaky fantasy play without a full practice on Thursday or Friday.
Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) remained sidelined on Wednesday. It looks like Matt Ammendola will kick again for Arizona vs. Seattle this weekend.
Cardinals RB James Conner (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. Arizona is holding out hope that he'll be able to play vs. the Seahawks this weekend, but we'd consider him no better than 50/50. Check back tomorrow for another update.
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The 33-year-old's body just can't hold up at this point. Jones is not a must-hold in shallower fantasy leagues.
Bucs WR Chris Godwin (hip, knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. Godwin was scaled back to a 52% snap rate in last week's win over Atlanta, so his status over the next couple of days is worth monitoring.
Bucs WR Russell Gage (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Gage, who has previously dealt with hamstring and back issues. We'll track his status over the next couple of days, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Steelers.
Bucs TE Cameron Brate (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. We're curious to see if TE Cade Otton won the lead job with his Week 5 performance, but you'll need to avoid Bucs TEs in Week 6 fantasy lineups as we wait to find out.
Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited last Wednesday and Thursday but sidelined on Friday before missing the Packers game. We'll see if the rookie can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens, but he shouldn't be in your Week 6 fantasy plans.
Bills HC Sean McDermott said ahead of Wednesday's practice that CB Tre'Davious White would be returning to the field this week but that he won't play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs. White has been on the PUP while continuing to work back from last season's ACL tear. We'll see when he's ready for game action.
Giants WRs Kadarius Toney (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (knee) remained sidelined on Wednesday. Neither guy seems likely to play vs. the Ravens this weekend.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He has a long way to go to clear the protocol and should be considered unlikely to play vs. the Bengals this weekend. We'll see if Olave is able to get on the field tomorrow.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) remained out of practice Wednesday. HC John Harbaugh indicated Monday that his wideout has a chance to play Week 6, but we'll need to see him get back onto the practice field.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. As Higgins owners are well aware, he lasted just 10 snaps this past Sunday night before aggravating that ankle injury and sitting out the rest of the game. We'll see what Higgins does the next 2 days, but he'll need at least 1 full practice to be a confident Week 6 fantasy play.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp didn't practice Wednesday because of a foot injury. TE Tyler Higbee (ankle) and DL Aaron Donald (foot) also sat out. HC Sean McVay said afterward that the team will "be smart" with all the dinged up starters. We'll track the status of all 3 key fantasy contributors throughout the week.
Cowboys LB Micah Parsons missed practice Wednesday with a groin injury, but he told reporters there's "no question" he'll play Sunday against the Eagles, according to multiple reports. Parsons played through groin tightness in the 2nd half of Sunday's win over the Rams. We'll track his progress this week to make sure he's ready.
