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 HC John Harbaugh said after Sunday's win over the Vikings that S DeShon Elliott suffered a torn pectoral muscle and a torn biceps, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. That will end Elliott's season. Brandon Stephens figures to step into Elliott's role.

Rams RB Darrell Henderson suffered an ankle injury in the 1st half of Sunday night's game vs. the Titans and is officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more. Sony Michel will step in as Los Angeles' lead back while Henderson is out.

Update: Henderson returned.

New Rams OLB Von Miller will miss his 1st game with the new team. He's inactive with the ankle injury that also cost him his final game in Denver. LB Ernest Jones (illness) and CB Jalen Ramsey (knee) are active, however, after hitting the day questionable.

6:59pm EST 11/7/21

Rams WR Robert Woods (foot) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Titans. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we never heard any real concern about his status. Woods is safe to get into fantasy lineups.

6:58pm EST 11/7/21

Titans WR A.J. Brown (knee) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Rams. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday, but we heard this morning that Brown would be “fine” for this game. Get him in fantasy lineups if you waited on him.

WR DeSean Jackson is signing with the Raiders, he tells insider Josina Anderson. D-Jax is a natural field-stretching replacement for WR Henry Ruggs. Ruggs averaged just 5.1 targets per game this season -- a number we doubt Jackson even gets to. He's unlikely to be a fantasy option but could be a boon to QB Derek Carr's production.

Patriots RB Damien Harris exited in the 4th quarter of Sunday's win over the Panthers with a head injury. We haven't heard whether he's been diagnosed with a concussion. We should learn more about Harris' status on Monday.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was knocked out in the 4th quarter of Sunday's win over the Panthers with a head injury. He had a productive outing before exiting, carrying 10 times for 62 yards and caught both of his targets for 44 yards. We'll look for an update on his status on Monday.

Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds suffered an ankle injury in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game against the 49ers. He's officially questionable to return. We'll pass along an update when we get one.

Giants RB Devontae Booker suffered a hip injury in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Raiders and is officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.

3:53pm EST 11/7/21

Bills RB Zack Moss sustained a concussion in the 2nd half of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. It's his 1st documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week.

Broncos TE Albert Okwuegbunam is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He was questionable coming into the game with a knee, although it's unclear if this is related. Stay tuned for an update.

3:00pm EST 11/7/21

49ers TE George Kittle (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He’s been out since Week 4. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Kittle is slated to play “roughly half the game.” We’re expecting him to be out there for most passing plays, though, and would feel comfortable getting Kittle into Week 9 fantasy lineups.

3:00pm EST 11/7/21

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (calf) is active for today’s game against the Cardinals. He was listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that the ‘Niners are “uncertain how long” Samuel will be able to play through the calf issue. Consider him a risk/reward WR2 in Week 9 fantasy lineups.

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (ribs) is active for today’s game against the Cardinals. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and was listed as questionable. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that the ‘Niners are “uncertain how long” Mitchell will be able to play through the rib issue. Consider him a risk/reward RB2. RB Jeff Wilson (knee) is also active and will make his 2021 debut in this one. RB Trey Sermon is a healthy scratch.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the 49ers. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 10. With WR A.J. Green (COVID) also out, Arizona is down to WRs Christian Kirk, Rondale Moore, Antoine Wesley and Andy Isabella. Consider Kirk and Moore WR3s with Colt McCoy under center.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the 49ers. Although he didn’t practice all week, Murray was reportedly a game-time decision today. So he should have a good chance of returning for Week 10. QB Colt McCoy gets the start today and is a significant downgrade for the offense.

Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott suffered a knee contusion in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos and was deemed questionable to return for the 2nd half. We'll pass along an update when we get one.

Update: Elliott was on the field for Dallas' 1st snap of the 2nd half.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence hurt his right ankle in the 2nd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bills. We'll update his status when we know more. QB C.J. Beathard is Jacksonville's backup.

Update: Lawrence is officially questionable to return. He's trying to get loose on the sidelines.

Update: Lawrence returned.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Adrian Peterson is expected to be the Titans' lead back vs. the Rams tonight. Pelissero throws out a projection of "upwards of 15 touches" for Peterson. We're curious to see exactly what this Henry-less backfield looks like, with Jeremy McNichols and D'Onta Foreman also in the mix. We'd still consider Peterson just a RB3 or flex play for Week 9.
