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.

Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson was knocked out of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals with a fourth-quarter finger injury. With QB Deshaun Watson exiting earlier with an Achilles injury, QB Jameis Winston finished out the game for Cleveland. He gave the Browns the best QB play they've seen this season, completing 5 of 11 passes for 67 yards and a score. We'll see about the Watson and Thompson-Robinson injuries. But if the Browns are serious about winning, Winston will be under center going forward. He's worth adding in 2-QB and Superflex leagues.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel is dealing with an illness and didn't do much in pregame warmups. He's still expected to play vs. the Chiefs, according to The Athletic's Matt Barrows. Barring another report on his role today, Samuel should stay in fantasy lineups unless you have another strong option.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Falcons with a knee injury. Metcalf has remained on the sidelines, so this doesn't look like a serious injury. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Metcalf wound up getting carted back to the locker room.

Dolphins QB Tyler Huntley exited in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Colts with a right shoulder injury. He's been replaced by QB Tim Boyle. The Dolphins are mercifully expected to get QB Tua Tagovailoa back next week.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is inactive for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He was off the final injury report, so Kansas City is just opting to roll with RBs Kareem Hunt, Carson Steele, and Samaje Perine.

Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He was added to the injury report on Thursday with what HC Andy Reid called a hamstring "spasm." But JuJu practiced on Friday and never seemed in danger of missing this one.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson (knee) is active for today’s game against the Panthers. He was listed as questionable after a limited week of practice, so it’s safe to assume Robinson still isn’t at 100%. But he’s still worth getting into most fantasy lineups in this excellent spot vs. Carolina’s 32nd-ranked RB defense.

Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (concussion, back) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Commanders. That should mean a significant role for TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, who caught five of seven targets for 49 yards with Tremble out last week.

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson (ankle, ribs, hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Commanders. He's been playing through the ankle issue for the past two weeks but had the rib and hamstring added to Friday’s injury report. There’s elevated risk here, but Johnson would be tough to bench against Washington’s 23rd-ranked WR defense.

Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. The Raiders will again roll with WRs Tre Tucker, D.J. Turner, Kristian Wilkerson, and Alex Bachman. Try to avoid that group in fantasy lineups. TE Brock Bowers should be in for a ton of targets again.

Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. It’s entirely unclear how backfield touches will be divvied between White, Alexander Mattison, and Ameer Abdullah. Try to avoid the situation in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He got in three limited practices this week, but the team is wisely being cautious with his return from this significant ankle injury. We’re expecting Kupp to play next week. His absence again leaves Jordan Whittington, Tutu Atwell, and Demarcus Robinson as the Rams’ top three WRs. See where they land in the Week 7 WR Rankings.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson injured his right leg in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals. It's Dorian Thompson-Robinson -- not Jameis Winston -- active as Cleveland's backup today. We'll update Watson's status when we know more.

Update: Watson has been ruled out with an Achilles. This has the look of a season-ending injury, but we'll update Watson's status when we know more.

Bills WR Curtis Samuel suffered a shoulder in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He's questionable to return. We'll update Samuel's status when we know more.

Update: Samuel has been ruled out.

Lions RB David Montgomery is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. Vikings with a knee injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Montgomery's absence should mean big volume for RB Jahmyr Gibbs.

Update: Montgomery returned in the second quarter.

Douglas only had 3 targets, catching two for 14 yards against the Jaguars. He is just a week removed from his six cath, 92 yard game with a TD last week. Douglas’ snap count was down with the Patriots running more 12 personnel, so Douglas may be a volatile play going forward.

Rookie Patriots QB Drake Maye impressed with an early TD drive in London. He ended the game completing 26-of-37 passes for 276 yards and 2 TDs. He also ran three times for 18 yards.

Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby ran 26 times for 118 yards and two TDs. He was the clear lead back with RB Travis Etienne out handling 26 RB touches compared to D’Ernest Johnson’s 12.

Rookie Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. caught all 5 targets for 89 yards and a TD. He also had two carries for 2 yards. His beautiful 58-yard TD catch showcased the rookies upside, and he will be the Jaguars WR1 moving forward.

Giants DL Dexter Lawrence (hip) and Edge Brian Burns (groin) are active for today's game against the Eagles. The Giants' DST has performed well lately and carries upside against a Philly offense that hasn't played anywhere near its peak this season.
