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.

The Packers have activated LB De'Vondre Campbell off the COVID list. He'll be ready to play Sunday night against the Bears.

Ravens CB Anthony Averett (knee) and S Brandon Stephens (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. Both players finished the week with a full Friday practice and seem likely to play. We'll check their statuses Sunday.

The Steelers believe EDGE T.J. Watt suffered only a minor groin injury in Thursday night's loss to the Vikings. We'll see how he looks leading up to Week 15, but we'd bet on him being ready to play.

The Lions have placed S Tracy Walker on the COVID list, which will knock him out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. C.J. Moore looks like the next guy up at safety, while S Dean Marlowe gains tackle upside.

Giants WR Kadarius Toney (oblique) is out for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. He at least put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so perhaps we see him in Week 15.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard (quad) and WR Kenny Golladay (rib) are listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Shepard got in 3 limited practices this week, while Golladay was limited on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. Both guys seem likely to play on Sunday. We'd stay away from Golladay, who's finished as a top 40 fantasy WR just once all season. Shepard is a solid target bet, but he's tough to get excited about with Mike Glennon under center.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. QB Mike Glennon (concussion) is listed as questionable but put in a full practice on Friday. HC Joe Judge confirmed that Glennon is expected to be cleared for this weekend’s game. So New York won’t need to turn to QB Jake Fromm, but this is still a passing game to try to avoid.

Seahawks RB Travis Homer (calf, hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. RB Alex Collins (abdomen) isn’t listed on the final injury report, so he should play after missing last week. But it’s completely unclear how snaps and touches will be divvied between Collins, Adrian Peterson, Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas. Despite the plus matchup, you’re better off avoiding this backfield.

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. RB Jeff Wilson (knee) isn’t listed on the final injury report after practicing all week. He should operate as San Francisco’s lead back this weekend, with RB JaMycal Hasty in a change-of-pace, pass-catching role.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (COVID) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. We'll see if he can get cleared for Thursday night's showdown with the Chiefs. We're still waiting to see if close-contact Mike Williams will come off the COVID list on Saturday and play this weekend.

Lions TE T.J. Hockenson (hand) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday and Friday. He won’t play on Sunday, and his availability for Week 15 and beyond is unclear. Hockenson’s absence leaves Brock Wright as Detroit’s likely lead pass-catching TE, but you should be able to do much better in fantasy lineups.

Lions RB Jamaal Williams has been placed on the COVID list and won't play vs. the Broncos on Sunday. RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) has been ruled out. That leaves Detroit with RBs Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson. It's completely unclear how carries will be divvied, but Igwebuike played on passing downs last week, so he's the better fantasy play if you're forced to invest here. Avoiding the backfield is your best bet, though.

Jets WR Elijah Moore (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Saints. He didn’t practice all week but is expected to test the quad on Saturday. Stay tuned for updates on his status. His game kicks off at 1 pm ET on Sunday, so we’ll know whether he’s active around 11:30 am.

Saints QB Taysom Hill (finger) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. “If I wasn’t okay [with Hill’s health], I wouldn’t be playing him,” Sean Payton said Friday. Hill is in the QB1 mix against the league’s 30th-ranked QB defense.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. HC Sean Payton said Friday that Kamara was “real close” to playing last week, and that it was actually a hamstring issue that kept Kamara out. RBs Mark Ingram and Ty Montgomery are on the COVID list and are likely to miss Sunday’s game, so Kamara should be in for a heavy workload against the league’s 32nd-ranked RB defense.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee, back) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He remained sidelined all week, so his status for Week 15 and beyond remains uncertain. Foster Moreau gets another game as Vegas’ lead TE after disappointing with just 1 catch last week.

Dolphins RB Myles Gaskin tested positive for COVID, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Gaskin is vaccinated, so there's a chance he's cleared in time for Miami's Week 15 game vs. the Jets. If not, the Dolphins would be down to RBs Phillip Lindsay and Salvon Ahmed on the active roster. RBs Duke Johnson and Gerrid Doaks are on the practice squad, while RB Malcolm Brown (quad) is eligible to come off IR

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, and HC Zac Taylor confirmed that Higgins is expected to play on Sunday. He can be penciled into fantasy lineups.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow (finger) isn’t listed on the final injury report. He put in a limited practice on Thursday and was a full-go on Friday. He threw the ball well in practice according to the Cincinnati media in attendance. We’re not expecting Burrow’s injured pinky to be a problem in Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers.

The Bengals list RB Joe Mixon as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. He missed practice all week with an illness. Mixon was at least watching on the sidelines on Friday, and HC Zac Taylor said afterward that he expects Mixon to play. We’ll continue looking for updates on his status. 49ers-Bengals doesn’t kick off until 4:25 pm ET on Sunday. Samaje Perine would be Cincinnati's lead back if Mixon is out this week.
