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.

Vikings WR Adam Thielen hurt his left ankle in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Lions. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Thielen has been ruled out.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that the Rams expect RB Darrell Henderson (thigh) to be "available" for today's game vs. the Jaguars. Glazer adds, though, that Henderson isn't expected to be the "feature back." It's unclear exactly how much Henderson will play. It's a tough situation to decipher. We're still betting on RB Sony Michel leading the backfield in touches today, making him the better fantasy bet.

Buccaneers LB Devin White (quad) is active for today's game against the Falcons. He finished the week with a pair of full practices and should be good to go for IDP lineups.

Bears LB Roquan Smith (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Cardinals. He managed just 1 limited practice this week (Friday) and still carries some risk, but it's tough to sit fantasy's top-scoring LB unless you're loaded at the position.

Cardinals CB Byron Murphy (foot) is active for today's game against the Bears.

Jets LB Quincy Williams (calf) and DE John Franklin-Myers (hip) are active for today's game against the Eagles.

Dolphins S Brandon Jones (ankle, elbow) is inactive for today's game against the Giants. EDGE Jaelan Phillips (hip) is active, however, and an upside play for pressure-friendly IDP leagues.

Texans DE Jonathan Greenard (foot) is active for today's game against the Colts. He played through a questionable tag last week and should be in most IDP lineups. Houston made LB Zach Cunningham a healthy scratch, with Christian Kirksey back off IR. That clearly points to Kirksey regaining a full-time spot next to Kamu Grugier-Hill.

Jets WR Corey Davis (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. He’d be tough to trust in fantasy lineups after only getting in a limited practice on Friday.

Colts DT DeForest Buckner is active for today's game against the Texans. He was questionable, primarily for a knee injury, but finished the week with a full practice. Buckner belongs in IDP lineups in most cases. Questionable S Andrew Sendejo (calf) is also active.

11:37am EST 12/5/21

Colts TE Jack Doyle (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Texans. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so the knee shouldn’t be a major issue. Doyle has some deep-league streaming appeal against Houston’s 30th-ranked TE defense.

Giants WRs Sterling Shepard (quad) and Kadarius Toney (quad) are inactive for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. With those guys out last week, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton operated as New York's primary outside WRs, with Pharoh Cooper in the slot. Try to avoid the situation in fantasy lineups, especially with Mike Glennon under center.

Dolphins RB Phillip Lindsay (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Giants. Myles Gaskin has averaged 18.3 carries and 3.5 targets over his last 4 games and should continue to see plenty of volume today.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (hamstring) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He just returned to practice this week. Parker has averaged 8.6 targets, 5 catches and 65.4 yards across 5 games this season, but he carries elevated risk in his first action since Week 8.

11:35am EST 12/5/21

Texans WR Brandin Cooks (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we’re expecting him to play his usual every-down role today.

Texans RB David Johnson (illness, thigh) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. RBs Rex Burkhead, Royce Freeman and Jaylen Samuels are dressed for Houston today. Burkhead should see most of the backfield work and is a viable (if disgusting) RB3 option.

11:34am EST 12/5/21

Eagles RB Boston Scott (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He was unable to practice all week, and it’s unclear if that’ll impact his role today. We’re still projecting Scott to see 10-12 carries as the #2 RB behind Miles Sanders, putting Scott in the RB3 or flex mix.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. With WR Marquise Goodwin (foot) also out, Chicago is down to WRs Damiere Byrd, Jakeem Grant and Isaiah Coulter behind Darnell Mooney.

Bears QB Justin Fields (ribs) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. The rookie was limited in practice this week, giving him a shot to return in Week 14. QB Andy Dalton gets another start today.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Hopkins "could be used more sparingly than usual due to his injury and the weather conditions.” Check the WR rankings to see if Hopkins should be in your starting lineup.
