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.

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield (foot) and S Jordan Whitehead (calf) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. Winfield looks very iffy after putting in only 1 limited practice. Whitehead closed out the week with a full Friday after 2 limited days. He missed the past 2 games.

The Raiders have ruled LB Denzel Perryman out for the 2nd straight game with his ankle injury. That should clear the way for rookie Divine Deablo to start in his place again. Deablo, a converted safety, has delivered double-digit tackles each of the past 2 weeks -- including the game Perryman left early with his injury. Deablo makes for a nice play in tackle-friendly IDP formats.

Broncos DE Dre'Mont Jones (foot) and LB Kenny Young (concussion) are doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals. DE Shelby Harris (ankle) and S Kareem Jackson (back) are questionable. If Harris joins Jones on the inactive list, Denver would be missing both starting DEs from its 3-man front.

Niners LB Azeez Al-Shaair is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Falcons with the elbow injury he suffered last week. Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles is the next guy up behind him, but Marcell Harris figures to be the #2 LB in playing time Sunday behind Fred Warner.

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that it’s swelling in Mitchell’s knee, and not the concussion, that’s keeping him out. Jeff Wilson will get another game as San Francisco’s lead back. He’s been disappointing in 2 spot starts this season but at least has a plus matchup this weekend against Atlanta’s 27th-ranked RB defense.

Cowboys RB Tony Pollard (foot) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. It sounds like Pollard is on track to return for this one, but it’s unclear how much volume he’ll get and how effective he’ll be with that partially torn plantar fascia.

Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. We'll look for further updates on his status.

Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but HC Kliff Kingsbury said that he’s optimistic about both Conner and RB Chase Edmonds’ availability for Sunday’s game. Edmonds (ankle) remains on IR and will need to be activated by 4 pm ET on Saturday. We’ll keep you updated on Arizona’s backfield.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens after a limited week of practice. He played through this issue last week, so we’re expecting him to be out there against Baltimore.

Bucs RB Leonard Fournette (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Saints. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. HC Bruce Arians said Friday morning that Fournette will play, so you can keep him penciled into fantasy lineups for now. We'll let you know if we hear any different on his status.

Lions RB D’Andre Swift (shoulder) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He remained sidelined in practice all week and has no timetable for return. RB Jamaal Williams remains on the COVID list as of Friday afternoon, so we might get another game with Craig Reynolds as Detroit’s lead back.

Ravens WR Marquise Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Packers. He didn't practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. Brown should be available for Sunday's game, but we'll keep you updated on his status.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. He didn’t practice all week. HC John Harbaugh said Friday that Jackson “has a chance” to play, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo called it an "uphill battle.” At this point, we’re expecting QB Tyler Huntley to get the start for Baltimore. But we’ll keep you posted on Jackson’s status.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee has been placed back on the COVID list. He, of course, missed last week's game vs. the Cardinals after a false positive test. He presumably actually tested positive this time and is now unlikely to play vs. the Seahawks on Tuesday night. With Higbee out last week, TE Kendall Blanton caught 2 of 3 targets for 29 yards.

Bills WR Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. That should turn WR Gabriel Davis into a near every-down player – and a viable Week 15 fantasy starter.

Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Panthers on Sunday. That’s a negative matchup, and Allen won’t be at 100%. But he still sits comfortably inside our top 10 QBs for Week 15.

This week's Seahawks-Rams game has been moved from Sunday to Tuesday, according to multiple reports, as the Rams deal with a rash of COVID positives. This game won't be on the DFS main slate but will still count for Week 15 in season-long leagues. We'll see if RB Darrell Henderson, WR Odell Beckham and WR Tyler Lockett are able to clear COVID protocols in time for the game.

Update: This game will kick off at 7 pm ET on Tuesday.

The Washington at Philadelphia game originally scheduled for Sunday has been moved to Tuesday at 7 pm ET due to The Football Team's COVID outbreak, insider Albert Breer reports. This game won't be on the DFS main slate but will still count for Week 15 in season-long leagues. We'll see if any of Washington's players currently on the COVID list are activated by Tuesday. The extra 2 days can't hurt Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is recovering from what's been reported as a high-ankle sprain. Washington WR Terry McLaurin and RB J.D. McKissic will have a better chance to clear concussion protocol before kickoff.

Saints RB Mark Ingram was activated from the COVID list and practiced on Friday. He should play vs. the Bucs on Sunday night, providing a change of pace behind RB Alvin Kamara.

The Raiders at Browns game originally scheduled to kick off at 4:30 pm ET on Saturday is being moved to Monday due to the rash of COVID positives on the Browns, according to insider Josina Anderson. Even that is probably still subject to change based on more positive COVID tests in Cleveland. We'll see if any of the Browns currently on the COVID list -- namely Baker Mayfield, Case Keenum, Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper -- are activated before Monday. But, as of now, we'd still plan on not having those guys in Week 15 fantasy lineups.

Update: Raiders-Browns will kick off at 5 pm ET on Monday, per Fox Sports' Jay Glazer.
