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.

3:01pm EDT 10/24/21

Bucs TE O.J. Howard (ankle) is active for today’s game against the Bears. He got in a full practice on Friday, so we’re not worried about the ankle. Howard figures to split pass-catching duties with TE Cameron Brate as TE Rob Gronkowski misses another game.

Bears RB Damien Williams is active for today’s game against the Bucs. He was just activated from the COVID list on Saturday, so it’s uncertain how big a role he’ll play today. We’d try not to use Williams in Week 7 fantasy lineups. Bears RB Khalil Herbert is a better bet.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Bucs. Robinson played through this injury last week, posting a 92% snap rate and 4-53 line on 7 targets. He should be available for a full-time role today.

Lions EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) is active for today's game against the Rams.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (ankle) is INACTIVE for today’s game against the Eagles. Foster Moreau will step in as Vegas’ lead TE and is a viable fantasy fill-in if you were hoping to use Waller.

Jets QB Zach Wilson left Sunday’s game with a lower-body injury. He walked to the locker room around the midway point of the 2nd quarter. We’ll share an update when we learn more.

Update: Wilson has a right knee injury, the team announced. He's been ruled out.

The forecast for tonight's Colts-49ers game calls for a 100% chance of rain with winds of 20-30 mph. That's ugly -- and certainly enough to impact the passing and kicking games. We'd try to avoid both of these passing games outside of 49ers WR Deebo Samuel and Colts WR Michael Pittman. You should also stay away from both Ks.

Washington lead CB William Jackson III is inactive for today's game against the Packers, as expected. That only helps the outlook for the Green Bay passing attack -- especially WR Davante Adams.

Ravens RB Ty'Son Williams is active for today's game vs. the Bengals. It'll be Williams, Devonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell in the backfield today, with RB Latavius Murray out with his ankle injury.

As usual, myriad Patriots defenders wound up questionable for today's game against the Jets. LB Dont'a Hightower (elbow, ankle) is inactive. All other questionable defenders are active. They include: DT Davon Godchaux (finger), DE Deatrich Wise (knee), DT Christian Barmore (shoulder), LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (ribs), S Kyle Dugger (knee), CB Jalen Mills (hamstring), S Adrian Phillips (back) and LB Kyle Van Noy (groin).

Dolphins CB Xavien Howard (shoulder, groin) and CB Byron Jones (Achilles', groin) are both active for today's game against the Falcons. Both players missed Miami's last game. Their return certainly helps the pass defense. EDGE Jaelan Phillips (ankle) is active for the game as well. He entered the day questionable.

Chiefs DL Chris Jones (hand/wrist) and CB Charvarius Ward (quad) are active for today's game against the Titans.

Packers S Darnell Savage (concussion) is active for today's game against Washington. OLB Preston Smith (oblique) and CB Kevin King (shoulder) are out.

11:37am EDT 10/24/21

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is active for today’s game against the Titans. He was listed as questionable after only getting in a limited practice on Friday. But Hill was in the same boat last week before posting a 9-76-1 line on Washington, despite only playing 57% of the snaps. There’s still some added risk here, but Hill remains a must-start in season-long leagues.

11:36am EDT 10/24/21

Giants TE Evan Engram (calf) is active for today’s game against the Panthers. He was added to the injury report and sidelined on Thursday before returning to a limited practice on Friday. Engram is a high-risk Week 7 fantasy play.

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and John Ross (hamstring) are active. They figure to join Dante Pettis as New York’s top 3 WRs. Slayton has some WR3 appeal as the likely target leader.

Ravens LB Patrick Queen (thigh) is active for today's game against the Bengals. He spent the week limited in practice after seeing limited playing time last week, a game he left but returned to after suffering the thigh injury. Queen makes for a risky IDP play this week.

11:34am EDT 10/24/21

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shin) is active for today’s game vs. the Packers. He remained limited in practice this week, although ESPN’s Adam Schefter suggested this morning that the stress fracture in Gibson’s shin is improving. He still comes with elevated risk in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Dolphins WRs DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Falcons. Preston Williams (groin) is active and figures to operate as Miami’s #2 WR behind Jaylen Waddle.

As expected, Jets LB C.J. Mosley is inactive for today's game against the Patriots. He hit the weekend doubtful after missing practice all week with a hamstring injury. There was at least 1 beat report that called him a game-time decision this morning, but we removed the LB from our Week 7 rankings Friday night. Expect Quincy Williams to lead Jets LBs today.
