Detroit Lions Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the Lions. Darnell Mooney, Marquise Goodwin and Damiere Byrd will operate as Chicago's top 3 WRs.

The Lions have ruled EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) and CB A.J. Parker (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Bears. DL Michael Brockers (knee) is questionable after being limited in practice the past 2 days.

The Saints have ruled DE Marcus Davenport out for Thursday night's game against the Bills with a shoulder injury. New Orleans will also miss DE Tanoh Kpassagnon, leaving Carl Granderson as the likely playing-time leader opposite Cameron Jordan on the D-line. Granderson has just 1 sacks and 4 total QB hits on the season and hasn't cracked 40% playing time since Week 2. Jalyn Holmes is the only other healthy true edge player on the current roster. The Saints could struggle to pressure Josh Allen this week, though Jordan and DT David Onyemata stand out in that area.

The Bears list WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) as doubtful for Thursday's game vs. the Lions. He didn't practice all week and won't play tomorrow. That leaves Darnell Mooney as Chicago's #1 WR and a nice fantasy starter. Marquise Goodwin will be the #2 WR and is in play for DFS tournaments.

Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Bears. He was limited in practice all week. HC Dan Campbell said Tuesday that it's "leaning toward" Goff returning for this one. He's not a fantasy option but would be an upgrade over QB Tim Boyle for RB D'Andre Swift and TE T.J. Hockenson.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) remained sidelined on Tuesday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Lions on Thanksgiving, leaving Darnell Mooney and Marquise Goodwin as Chicago's top 2 WRs.

Lions HC Dan Campbell said it's "leaning toward" QB Jared Goff (oblique) starting Thursday's game vs. the Bears. Goff has been Goff this season -- but he's significantly better than Tim Boyle. His return would be good news for RB D'Andre Swift and TE T.J. Hockenson.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game against the Ravens. Marquise Goodwin and Damiere Byrd figure to serve as Chicago’s #2 and #3 WRs but aren’t fantasy options. WR Darnell Mooney and TE Cole Kmet should pick up extra targets with Robinson out.

11:30am EST 11/21/21

Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Browns. QB Tim Boyle gets his 1st career start. We’re not expecting it to go well.

The Lions have ruled EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Browns. S Tracy Walker (concussion) is questionable. We'll check his status Sunday.

Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) is listed as doubtful for Week 11. It's confirmation that QB Tim Boyle will make his first career start vs. the Browns on Sunday. Fire up the Cleveland DST.

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.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He appears to be in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Ravens. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) did not practice again on Thursday. His injury reportedly isn't serious, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Goff is in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Browns. QB Tim Boyle has been taking 1st-team reps in practice this week and would likely start over QB David Blough if Goff is out.

Bears WR Allen Robinson (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to come out of Week 9 healthy, but it's concerning that he wasn't able to practice coming off the bye. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Lions QB Jared Goff (oblique) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this injury in last week's tie vs. the Steelers but shouldn't be considered a lock for Sunday's game against the Browns. If Goff can't go, Detroit would start QB Tim Boyle.

Lions QB Jared Goff played through a 1st-quarter oblique injury in the Week 10 tie vs. the Steelers. "Just kind of nagged me a little bit throughout the game," Goff said afterward. "I felt like I was fine to stay in there and felt like it didn’t affect me throughout the game. But it’ll be a little sore tomorrow but I’ll be fine." It sounds like Goff will be available for this weekend's game vs. the Browns, but he'll again be a bottom-barrel QB2.

2:51pm EST 11/14/21

Broncos WR Tim Patrick (knee) is active for today’s game against the Eagles. He’s a WR4 in fantasy lineups -- and a nuisance to Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton owners.

Broncos WR Tim Patrick (knee) got in just 2 limited practices this week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Patrick has remained a key cog in Denver's passing game even since WR Jerry Jeudy returned. So his absence on Sunday would be a boost to Jeudy and WR Courtland Sutton's outlooks.

Bears RB David Montgomery (knee) has been activated from IR, putting him in line to play vs. the Steelers tonight. It'll be his first action since Week 4. HC Matt Nagy said earlier this week that Montgomery remains the lead back when healthy -- but it's unclear if he's ready to step back into that role tonight. Montgomery and RB Khalil Herbert are risky fantasy plays tonight.
