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.
Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. The team confirmed on Friday that QB Joe Flacco will start that one. The 38-year-old isn’t a good option at this point of his career – but he should prove to be at least a slight upgrade over Thompson-Robinson and P.J. Walker.
Browns RB Kareem Hunt (groin) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice and will be ready for his usual 1B role behind Jerome Ford in Sunday’s game vs. the Rams.
Packers WR Jayden Reed (chest) got in just a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Chiefs. We’d be more worried about Reed if he didn’t go for 50 yards and a score while playing through this injury on Thanksgiving. We’re expecting the rookie to play against Kansas City but will look for further updates on his status for that one. WR Dontayvion Wicks (knee) is listed as questionable for the Chiefs game after a limited week of practices.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He was limited in Wednesday and Thursday’s practices but then sidelined on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Brown, but don’t plan on using him in Week 13 fantasy lineups at this point.
Texans TE Dalton Schultz (hamstring) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. His status for Week 14 and beyond is uncertain. Schultz’s absence leaves Houston with TEs Brevin Jordan and Eric Saubert. Jordan ran 19 pass routes to Saubert’s two last week and will likely operate as the primary pass-catching TE against Denver’s 27th-ranked TE defense. You can probably do better in season-long fantasy leagues, but Jordan is an intriguing salary-saver in DFS.
Texans WR Tank Dell (calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He got in two limited practices to close the week and said Friday that he’ll play on Sunday. Dell can stay penciled into fantasy lineups. We’ll get Houston’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (forearm) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, with Philadelphia aiming to have him back for next week’s rematch with the Cowboys. Grab Goedert now if he was dropped in your fantasy league.
Saints K Blake Grupe (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. It probably makes sense to go with a healthier kicker in your Week 13 fantasy lineups.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (ankle) remained sidelined in practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. Jamaal Williams will again operate as New Orleans’ No. 2 RB but isn’t a fantasy option.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. He didn’t practice all week and might miss more time beyond Week 13.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday and was a full participant on Friday. HC Dennis Allen said Friday that Olave “has a chance” to play on Sunday – confirmation that he still has at least one stage of the protocol to pass through. We’ll look for further updates on Olave’s status and will get New Orleans’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Olave will be a borderline WR1 if he’s cleared.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Mostert might lose a few touches to RB De'Von Achane on Sunday, but he remains a nice fantasy play with Miami sporting a big 29.5-point implied total.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and will be ready to go for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders' 32nd-ranked WR defense.
Cardinals WR Trey McBride (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Steelers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so we’re expecting him to play. But you’ll need to check Shark Bites around 11:30 am ET on Sunday to make sure McBride is active.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (heel) missed practice all week and is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Steelers. He played through this injury last week, and HC Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Brown is “trending in the right direction” to play in Pittsburgh. We’ll get Arizona’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. WR Michael Wilson (shoulder) is out again for the Cardinals.
Jets RB Breece Hall (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we’re fully expecting Hall to play. We’ll get the Jets’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is also questionable.
Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is out for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He remained sidelined in practice all week. RB A.J. Dillon will again operate as Green Bay's primary ball carrier this weekend, but he'll also likely cede most passing-down work to RB Patrick Taylor. That's a concern with the Packers 6-point underdogs.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (thumb) is officially out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. HC Shane Steichen said earlier this week that the team is not considering an IR stint for Taylor, which would knock him out for four games. Owner Jim Irsay said the "hope" is that JT can return in two to three weeks. His absence will put RB Zack Moss back in a feature role. He averaged 22.0 carries and 2.7 targets in three games without Taylor earlier this season.
Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo (Achilles) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He was limited in Thursday’s practice but a full-go on Friday. He’ll play vs. the Bucs this weekend but would be a desperation fantasy start. The rookie has yet to top 10.2 PPR points in a game this season.
Panthers TE Hayden Hurst (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bucs. TE Tommy Tremble (hip) is listed as doubtful, which will leave Carolina with TEs Ian Thomas and Stephen Sullivan. Neither is a viable fantasy play.
