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.

Jets RB Michael Carter sustained a concussion in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 18. With RB Tevin Coleman out on the COVID list, the Jets are down to RBs Ty Johnson and Austin Walter.

The Saints have downgraded S Marcus Williams and C Erik McCoy to out for today's game against the Panthers. Each starter came off the COVID list late in the week and clearly isn't yet ready to play.

Giants CB Adoree' Jackson (quad) and DT Austin Johnson (foot) are active for today's game against the Bears. Neither carries big IDP intrigue for Week 17 lineups, though.

Dolphins S Brandon Jones (illness) is active for today's game against the Titans.

Washington DE Montez Sweat is inactive for today's game against the Eagles. He has been away from the team this week following the shooting death of his brother.

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. (foot) is active for today's game against the Jets, marking his return from 2 games down with a foot injury. CBs Jamel Dean and Sean Murphy-Bunting are also active, after arriving questionable.

Rams S Taylor Rapp (shoulder), DL Greg Gaines (hand) and edge Leonard Floyd (ankle) are active for today's game against the Ravens.

Bills RB Matt Breida is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Falcons. Buffalo will again go with RBs Devin Singletary and Zack Moss. Singletary has racked up 34 carries and 7 targets over the last 2 weeks.

11:35am EST 1/2/22

Colts TE Jack Doyle (knee, ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He’s an unexciting fantasy play.

Jets WR Jamison Crowder (calf) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bucs. Braxton Berrios gets another game as New York’s primary slot receiver but would be a desperation fantasy play.

Patriots S Kyle Dugger (hamstring), S Adrian Phillips (knee, illness) and CB J.C. Jackson (elbow) are active for today's game against the Jaguars. All arrived questionable but should be ready for IDP use at their appropriate levels.

Eagles RB Jordan Howard (stinger) is active for today’s game vs. Washington. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. With RB Miles Sanders (hand) out, Howard has a good chance for double-digit carries today if the injury doesn’t get in the way.

11:33am EST 1/2/22

Bucs WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He got in just a limited practice on Friday after spending Monday through Thursday on the COVID list. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Evans will play “in a limited capacity.” Check the Week 17 WR Rankings to see if Evans makes sense for your starting lineup.

11:33am EST 1/2/22

Bucs WR Antonio Brown (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He tweaked his ankle on Wednesday and didn’t practice on Thursday or Friday. But Brown reportedly felt good enough in a Saturday workout to give it a go today. He’s a risk/reward fantasy play at less than 100% in an excellent matchup.

Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Falcons. That makes WR Gabriel Davis a full-time player for Buffalo – and a high-upside WR3 play in fantasy lineups.

11:31am EST 1/2/22

Ravens WR Marquise Brown (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He missed the final 2 practices of the week, but we haven’t heard anything about him being limited today.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. QB Tyler Huntley gets another start. He led all QBs in fantasy points in his last start back in Week 15 and finished QB18 in his Week 11 start.

The Browns have ruled out S John Johnson III (hamstring), S Ronnie Harrison (ankle) and slot CB Troy Hill (knee) for Monday night's game against the Steelers. Losing both safety starters and their slot corner obviously weakens the Cleveland secondary, adding upside to Steelers passing-game pieces.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders is not expected to play today against the Falcons. That would clear the way for Gabriel Davis (just off the COVID list) to start once again. He has tallied 4 TD catches over his past 3 games.

Colts QB Carson Wentz (COVID) has been medically cleared to play vs. the Raiders today, HC Frank Reich told NFL Network's Stacey Dales. Wentz is just a QB2 in what figures to be another run-heavy attack from the Colts. But he's good news for RB Jonathan Taylor and WR Michael Pittman
