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.
49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (finger) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. So much for that early-week optimism after Mitchell’s Tuesday finger surgery. RB JaMycal Hasty (ankle) is out for Week 11, leaving San Francisco with RBs Jeff Wilson and Trey Sermon. Sermon might actually get on the field for the first time since Week 5, but Wilson should operate as the clear lead back. He’s a RB2 with upside.
Steelers WR Chase Claypool (toe) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. That suggests that he’ll be at least close to 100% for Sunday night’s game vs. the Chargers. Los Angeles ranks 2nd in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs, and Claypool might be catching passes from QB Mason Rudolph. It leaves him as just a WR3 for Week 11.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (concussion) put in a full practice on Friday and isn't listed on the final injury report. He's been cleared to play vs. the Saints this weekend. Philadelphia' super run-heavy offense has left Goedert as a low-end TE1.
Ravens RB Latavius Murray (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bears. If he plays, we expect him to slot in behind RB Devonta Freeman. Murray shouldn’t be in Week 11 fantasy lineups.
Ravens WR Marquise Brown (thigh) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. We haven’t heard anything to suggest that Brown is in danger of missing this one, but you’ll need to check back Sunday morning to make sure he's active.
Packers WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. His absence should make WRs Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Randall Cobb close to full-time players. Both guys are still just fantasy fliers, though.
Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Vikings. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 12, but a Week 14 return -- after a Week 13 bye -- seems most likely. RB A.J. Dillon should get heavy volume this weekend.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (toe) is not listed on the final injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we never sensed any concern about his status. The toe shouldn't be a factor in Sunday's game vs. the Vikings.
Bills WR Cole Beasley (ribs) put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He was in the same position last week before playing just 9 snaps in the win over the Jets, presumably because of that rib injury. Beasley can’t be trusted in Week 11 fantasy lineups.
Browns WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. He tweaked his groin on Wednesday, was sidelined on Thursday and then limited in Friday’s practice. DPJ shouldn’t be in your fantasy plans at less than 100%. WR Anthony Schwartz (concussion) is out for Week 11.
Jaguars RB James Robinson (heel, knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We’re expecting Robinson to play on Sunday, but it’s safe to assume that he’ll do so at less than 100%.
Giants WR Sterling Shepard (quad) remained sidelined on Friday. He's a long shot to play vs. the Bucs on Monday night.
Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) remained limited in Friday's practice. He's trending toward a return on Monday night vs. the Bucs, but we'll get another update on Barkley tomorrow.
Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Ravens after missing practice all week. He obviously needs to be on fantasy benches. Robinson's absence will make a thin Chicago pass-catching corps even thinner. WR Darnell Mooney and TE Cole Kmet should pick up extra targets.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid wouldn't say Friday whether RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) will play vs. the Cowboys this weekend. Reid did say that CEH had a "good week of practice." Kansas City would need to activate Edwards-Helaire from IR by 4 pm ET on Saturday to make him eligible to play against Dallas. If he remains out, Darrel Williams will once again be a borderline RB1 play.
Lions QB Tim Boyle is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Browns, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. QB Jared Goff didn't practice all week with his oblique injury. Boyle has 4 regular-season pass attempts to his name. He went undrafted back in 2018 after completing 55.5% of his passes, averaging 5.6 yards per attempt and tossing 12 TDs vs. 26 INTs across 4 college seasons (3 at UConn, 1 at Eastern Kentucky). There's a good chance this is a total disaster for the Lions offense. Downgrade RB D'Andre Swift and TE T.J. Hockenson.
The Eagles and TE Dallas Goedert agreed to a 4-year, $59 million contract extension with $35 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It makes Goedert the league's 3rd-highest-paid TE in terms of average annual salary. Finally freed of TE Zach Ertz, Goedert has been hamstrung by a run-heavy Eagles offense lately. We'll see whether the Eagles stick with QB Jalen Hurts in 2022 and beyond or move in a different direction. But the 26-year-old Goedert is a solid hold in dynasty leagues regardless.
Washington WR Curtis Samuel (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He's been out since Week 5. HC Ron Rivera confirmed that Samuel will be on a snap count if he ends up playing. He's not a Week 11 fantasy option.
Panthers HC Matt Rhule said Friday that QB Cam Newton "will take the first play" vs. Washington on Sunday. Cool. But Rhule also said QB P.J. Walker will "probably" play, as well. Not cool. We'll look for more details on Carolina's plan. But Newton would be tough to get behind even in Superflex leagues and DFS if he's not going to play 100% of the snaps.
Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 13, following Arizona's Week 12 bye. Last week, A.J. Green and Antoine Wesley operated as the Cardinals' primary outside WRs, with Christian Kirk in the slot. Rondale Moore was the #4 WR.
