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.

Ravens CB Anthony Averett (shoulder, ankle), LB Patrick Queen (ribs), CB Marlon Humphrey (illness) and EDGE Odafe Oweh (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Humphrey missed the past 2 days of practice with his illness. Oweh popped up on the injury report with a missed Thursday but returned to limited action Friday. Queen finished the week with 2 full practices and appears on track to play. Averett was limited Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's practice. We'll update the status for all when inactives come out Sunday.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He got in 3 limited practices this week. HC Kliff Kingsbury labeled Murray a game-time decision on Friday, but multiple reports throughout the week had Murray expected back for this one. We'll find out for sure around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Bears. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday. It's unclear if that was a planned day off or a setback. HC Kliff Kingsbury called Hopkins a game-time decision on Friday morning. We'll look for further updates on Hopkins and will get Arizona's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Jets LB Quincy Williams (calf) and DE John Franklin-Myers (hip) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Both players followed limited Wednesday and Thursday participation with a full Friday workout and should be ready to go. We'll confirm their statuses Sunday morning.

Texans DE Jonathan Greenard (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. He played through a questionable tag last week and put in limited practices throughout this week, so we'd bet on Greenard playing. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

Texans RB David Johnson (illness, thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He didn’t practice all week, although it’s unclear if that was because of the illness, the thigh or both. We’ll get Houston’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. If he’s out, RB Rex Burkhead becomes a slightly more palatable fantasy play.

Colts DT DeForest Buckner is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. He's dealing with knee and foot issues, though the knee seemed more significant to begin the week. He close out the week with full Friday participation after a return to limited action Thursday, though. Buckner seems on track to play and should be in IDP lineups if active (barring some announcement of a limited role). S Andrew Sendejo (calf) is also questionable after following the same practice progression as Buckner through the week.

Texans WR Brandin Cooks (illness) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Colts. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but should be fine come Sunday. Just check back that morning to make sure he’s active.

Colts TE Jack Doyle (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Texans. He was a full participant in Friday's practice, so Doyle should play. He’s seen 17 targets over the past 3 weeks, putting him on the desperation radar against Houston’s 30th-ranked TE defense.

Jets WR Corey Davis (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. We’ll find out whether Davis is active around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but we’d try not to use him in fantasy lineups at less than 100%. WR Keelan Cole (COVID) is out for Week 13.

The Buccaneers have activated CB Carlton Davis from IR. He has been out since Week 4 with a quad injury but follows the recent return of Sean Murphy-Bunting to get Tampa back to its season-opening CB group

Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (concussion) isn’t listed on the final injury report. He landed in the concussion protocol early in the week but put in 3 full practices. He’s a rock-solid TE1 play vs. the Ravens on Sunday.

Dolphins RB Phillip Lindsay (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He got some mop-up work last week but wasn't a real threat to RB Myles Gaskins' volume. Of course, Lindsay's absence doesn't hurt Gaskins' Week 13 outlook.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. He was limited in practice all week. HC Nick Sirianni said Friday morning that Hurts’ status is “an unknown.” We’ll continue looking for updates on Hurts and will find out whether he’s active around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. QB Gardner Minshew would start for Philly if Hurts can't.

Eagles RB Jordan Howard (knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Jets. RB Boston Scott (illness) is listed as questionable after missing practice all week. Players rarely miss games with non-COVID illnesses, so we're expecting Scott to be active. But you'll need to check back around 11:30 am ET on Sunday to make sure. RB Miles Sanders (ankle) isn't listed on the final injury report and should lead the backfield vs. the Jets' 32nd-ranked RB defense.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the mallet finger injury suffered by Saints QB Taysom Hill will not require surgery. That confirms it's less serious than the injury that knocked Russell Wilson out earlier this season. Hill will continue trying to play through it. We'll see how that goes. He showed in the 2nd half of Thursday night's game against the Cowboys, though, that he can help fantasy lineups even if passing is a struggle.

Broncos RB Melvin Gordon (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. It's Javonte Williams time. The rookie has been splitting work with Gordon all season but should get feature-back volume this week. And he draws a Kansas City defense that Football Outsiders ranks 28th against the run. Williams is a legit RB1 in Week 13 fantasy lineups.

Bears LB Roquan Smith is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. He missed the first 2 days of practice with the hamstring injury that knocked him out of the Thanksgiving game. Smith did return for a limited Friday workout, but he looks risky even if active. Weigh that risk as you compare Smith to your other IDP options. We’ll update his status Sunday morning. The Bears have also ruled DL Akiem Hicks out for the game

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. It sounds like a Week 15 return is his best-case scenario. RB Alexander Mattison is a good bet for 20+ touches against Detroit’s 29th-ranked RB defense, making him an elite fantasy play.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (groin) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. So that groin shouldn’t be an issue against the Cardinals on Sunday. Kmet is a solid target bet with WRs Allen Robinson and Marquise Goodwin out.
