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.
Chargers QB Justin Herbert aggravated his ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. He's officially questionable to return, but The Athletic's Daniel Popper tweets that Herbett "has a hat on, limping badly on sideline. Would be shocked if he returns to this game." QB Taylor Heinicke has replaced Herbert.
Niners Edge Nick Bosa (rib) and CB Charvarius Ward (hamstring, knee) are active for today's game against the Rams. Both look ready for IDP use as planned.
Chargers Edge Joey Bosa left after the first defensive play Sunday against the Steelers. He returned later in the quarter but was gone again before the end of the quarter. The team initially called him questionable to return with a hip injury before ruling Bosa out for the game.
Rams K Joshua Karty (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable. With the banged-up Rams sporting an 18.75-point implied total, Karty should be nowhere near Week 3 fantasy lineups.
Cardinals WR Greg Dortch (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday, ultimately drawing a questionable tag. That adds obvious risk to his Week 3 profile, but there’s still upside here in a likely shootout against a Lions team that’s been lit up by slot receivers through two weeks.
Packers TE Tucker Kraft is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Titans with a shoulder injury. He was on this week's injury report with a shoulder, although it's unclear if this is related. We'll update Kraft's status when we know more. His absence will mean a boost in snaps for TE Luke Musgrave.
Update: Kraft returned to the game.
Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby, DT Christian Wilkins, and Edge Tyree Wilson are active for today's game against the Panthers. Crosby and Wilson were expected to play, whereas Wilkins reportedly looked more questionable. That could limit his snap count vs. usual, but Wilkins should probably be in most IDP lineups as planned at this stage in the Week 3 slate.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for Week 4. Walker’s absence today again leaves RB Zach Charbonnet in a workhorse role. He played 95% of Seattle’s offensive snaps last week, handling all 14 RB carries and five targets.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (chest) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He put in three limited practices this week, so he should have a good chance of making it back for Week 4. RB De’Von Achane racked up 22 carries and seven targets with Mostert out last week and should be busy again today. RBs Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson are active behind Achane but aren’t fantasy options.
Broncos WR Devaughn Vele is inactive for today's game vs. the Bucs. He missed Week 2 with a rib injury but was left off the final Week 3 injury report. WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey figures to continue handling slot duties for Denver's struggling passing game.
Steelers WR Roman Wilson is inactive for today's game vs. the Chargers. The rookie has been working back from a significant ankle injury but was left off this week's final injury report. Wilson is not worth rostering in any redraft leagues right now.
Steelers QB Russell Wilson (calf) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chargers. QB Justin Fields makes his third straight start. This game currently has a 34.5-point over/under, so don’t expect a ton of fantasy points.
Titans RB Tyjae Spears (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Packers. He put in a full practice on Friday, so we’re not expecting the ankle to be a major issue. Still, Spears would be a shaky fantasy starter after seeing just four carries with four targets in a healthy Week 1.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. He’s totaled eight carries vs. just three targets this season, so his absence gives the biggest boost to RB Alvin Kamara.
Colts WR Michael Pittman (back, calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday, although HC Shane Steichen never expressed much concern about his availability for this one. Pittman remains in WR3 territory in the Week 3 Rankings.
Chargers WR Josh Palmer (calf, elbow) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Steelers. His absence likely means more snaps for WRs Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko, but neither is a fantasy option. WRs Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey could pick up extra targets with Palmer out.
Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. He was reportedly a game-time decision and won’t be close to 100% for this one after suffering a high-ankle sprain last week. The Chargers have QBs Easton Stick and Taylor Heinicke active as insurance. Herbert is a high-risk Week 3 fantasy play without much upside in this tough matchup.
Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. We’re tentatively expecting him back for next weekend’s divisional game vs. the Vikings but will continue to keep a close eye on his progress. QB Malik Willis gets another start today. The Packers threw just 14 passes vs. 53 runs with Willis at the helm last week. Expect another run-heavy attack today (although probably not that extreme).
The Vikings plan on WR Justin Jefferson (quad) being a "full-go" vs. the Texans today, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Jefferson was left off the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday, so this latest report is just confirmation that the quad contusion won't be an issue today. Jefferson, of course, is a must-start.
Giants Edge Brian Burns is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns with a groin injury. But NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that he "should be good to go." Burns remains a low-level option for IDP lineups amid a slow start to his first Giants season.
