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.

11:34am EST 11/21/21

Ravens RB Latavius Murray (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. We’ll see exactly how much work he garners alongside RB Devonta Freeman, but Murray can’t be trusted in Week 11 fantasy lineups. Freeman remains a borderline RB2.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game against the Ravens. Marquise Goodwin and Damiere Byrd figure to serve as Chicago’s #2 and #3 WRs but aren’t fantasy options. WR Darnell Mooney and TE Cole Kmet should pick up extra targets with Robinson out.

Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel, knee) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He got in 2 limited practices this week. Robinson won’t be at 100% today but remains a volume-based RB2.

11:32am EST 11/21/21

Packers WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Vikings. That leaves Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Randall Cobb as Green Bay’s clear #2 and #3 WRs.

Lions RB Jamaal Williams (thigh) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He’d be a desperation play but does figure to steal some work from RB D’Andre Swift.

11:30am EST 11/21/21

Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Browns. QB Tim Boyle gets his 1st career start. We’re not expecting it to go well.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (illness) is INACTIVE for today’s game vs. the Bears. QB Tyler Huntley gets his 1st career start. Huntley went undrafted out of Utah last year and has attempted just 16 NFL passes. He completed a solid 67.2% of his college passes with 46 TDs to 20 INTs. Huntley also ran for 1,146 yards and 16 scores at Utah and is a 95th percentile athlete for his position. There’s rushing upside here, but Huntley is a clear downgrade for Baltimore’s passing game.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. It’ll be his 1st action since Week 7. RB Kenneth Gainwell is a healthy scratch for Philly, leaving Jordan Howard and Boston Scott alongside Sanders in the backfield. We’re expecting all 3 guys to be involved today. Sanders should lead the committee but is just a RB3 or flex play vs. New Orleans’ top-ranked RB defense.

NFL Network's James Palmer reports that the Chiefs "really don't know how much" RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) will play vs. the Cowboys today. "I’ve been told they’ll watch pregame warmups pretty closely," Palmer added. CEH has been sidelined since Week 5. And with RB Darrel Williams playing well in his place, there's no reason for Kansas City to rush Edwards-Helaire back into a big role. It's obviously a tricky fantasy situation that might be best to avoid in Week 11 lineups. If you're picking between the 2 Chiefs, we'd go Williams.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is dealing with a "significant sickness," NFL Network's Stacey Dales reports. "Truly a 50-50 chance he plays," Dales adds. Jackson just arrived to the stadium and is set to be evaluated by team doctors to determine whether he's able to play vs. the Bears today. We'll get word at 11:30 am ET. QB Tyler Huntley will start if Jackson can't.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers' toe injury is "real and concerning," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says. Rodgers downplayed the issue this week, but he only got in a limited practice on Friday. And, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Rodgers only took about 15 reps in that practice. The lack of practice time is less of a concern than the fact that Rodgers' mobility figures to be limited by this injury. And Rapoport hears that Rodgers will likely be dealing with it for the rest of the season. We'll see how he fares vs. the Vikings today.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Washington WR Curtis Samuel (groin) has just a "small chance" to play vs. the Panthers today. He's listed as questionable, but Samuel never seemed likely to play after getting in just 1 limited practice this week. Rapoport adds that Samuel should be back for Week 12. He's been sidelined since Week 5.

Lions RB Jamaal Williams (thigh) is expected to play vs. the Browns today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Williams averaged 10.1 carries and 2.6 targets over the season's first 7 games. He'd be a desperation fantasy play but is certainly bad news for RB D'Andre Swift's touch projection.

Browns WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) "has an uphill battle" to play vs. the Lions today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cleveland will also be without WR Anthony Schwartz (concussion), leaving WRs Rashard Higgins, Demetric Felton, J'Marcus Bradley and Lawrence Cager behind Jarvis Landry. Expect a run-heavy attack from the Browns.

Ravens RB Latavius Murray (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Bears today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Out since Week 6, Murray figures to slot in behind RB Devonta Freeman in his return.

Jaguars RB James Robinson (knee, heel) is expected to play vs. the 49ers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Robinson is listed as questionable after getting in just 2 limited practices this week. He comes with a bit more risk than usual in Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Both ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hear that Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) is unlikely to play vs. the Seahawks today. Schefter reports that a final decision on Murray's status won't be made until pregame warmups but that "signs point" to QB Colt McCoy getting another start. Rapoport says there's a "chance" Murray is able to play -- but a "better chance" that it's McCoy. We won't get Arizona's inactives until 3 pm ET, so Murray belongs on fantasy benches unless we get a more optimistic report on his status. McCoy played well in his 1st start vs. the 49ers 2 weeks ago but bombed last week vs. the Panthers. He's a low-end QB2 and a clear downgrade for Arizona's offense.

A league source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is "50/50" for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. Jackson has been dealing with a non-COVID illness all week, missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday. We'll continue to look for updates on Jackson's status and will get Baltimore's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

The Ravens have downgraded WR Marquise Brown to out for Sunday’s game against the Bears because of his thigh injury. That leaves Rashod Bateman and Sammy Watkins as the likely top 2 WRs for Lamar Jackson. Slot man Devin Duvernay is questionable with a knee injury that didn’t show up on the team injury report until Friday. The whole situation plus an illness that got Jackson downgraded to questionable today certainly adds risk to the Baltimore QB’s fantasy outlook

The Chargers will be activating EDGE Joey Bosa from the COVID list and expect him to play in Sunday night's game against the Steelers.
