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.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with a left (throwing) finger injury after banging it on a helmet in last week's loss to the Bills, HC Brian Flores said Friday. Tua is "sore and swollen" and has "some discomfort," Flores said, adding that he's "optimistic" Tagovailoa will be able to play vs. the Texans on Sunday. He's gotten in 2 limited practices so far this week. We'll see what Tagovailoa does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.
Jets S Marcus Maye limped off the field in the 2nd half of Thursday night's loss to the Colts, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the team fears he suffered a torn right Achilles' tendon. "It's not looking good," HC Robert Saleh said after the game. Assuming that injury is confirmed -- as they almost always are -- Sharrod Neasman looks like the next man up in the Jets secondary.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said RB Jeff Wilson (knee) will be designated to return from IR and practice this week. He's been out since May surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee. Wilson figures to need at least a week to get his legs back under him, so don't expect him to play in Week 9. We'll see if he's ready come Week 10. Wilson's most likely role will be as a short-yardage and goal-line back.
Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. He was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable, so don’t expect him to be at 100% today.
Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. Smith shouldn’t be in your Week 8 fantasy plans, but his absence would be a boost to TE Hunter Henry.
Patriots TE Jonnu Smith (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That seemingly puts him on track to play vs. the Chargers this weekend. Smith seemed to be a big part of New England's Week 7 game plan, racking up 5 targets and a carry before exiting in the 1st half. But he still can't be trusted in Week 8 fantasy lineups.
Patriots TE Jonnu Smith injured his shoulder in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Jets and did not return. We'll look for an update on his status.
Dolphins CB Xavien Howard (shoulder, groin) and CB Byron Jones (Achilles', groin) are both active for today's game against the Falcons. Both players missed Miami's last game. Their return certainly helps the pass defense. EDGE Jaelan Phillips (ankle) is active for the game as well. He entered the day questionable.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is active for today’s game against the Titans. He was listed as questionable after only getting in a limited practice on Friday. But Hill was in the same boat last week before posting a 9-76-1 line on Washington, despite only playing 57% of the snaps. There’s still some added risk here, but Hill remains a must-start in season-long leagues.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) will play vs. the Titans today. Like last week, Hill got in just 1 limited practice this week and is listed as questionable. But he played through this injury -- and produced -- in last Sunday's win over Washington.
Jets S Marcus Maye looks ready to go for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He sat out the past 2 games with an ankle injury but returned to practice coming off the bye. He finished the week with 2 full workouts and carries no injury status into the game. We've had Maye high in our Week 7 DB rankings in anticipation of his return.
Dolphins CBs Xavien Howard (shoulder, groin) and Byron Jones (Achilles', groin) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Both missed last week's game. Howard put in limited practices this week after sitting out last and should at least be close to playing. Jones was also limited all week but followed that same practice schedule last week before missing the game. We'll update both on Sunday morning when the inactives come out.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the Titans after only getting in a limited practice on Friday. Hill was in the same boat last week before playing vs. Washington. Hill’s snap rate was down to 57% in that one -- but he still caught 9 of 12 targets for 76 yards and a score. He carries elevated risk in Week 7 but remains a must-start in season-long leagues.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) remained sidelined on Thursday. He, of course, only got in a limited practice on Friday last week before posting a 9-76-1 line vs. Washington. Hill is fully expected to play vs. the Titans this Sunday.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. He played just 57% of Kansas City's offensive snaps last week -- but posted a 9-76-1 line anyway. Barring a setback, he'll be out there in Sunday's game vs. the Titans.
Jets HC Robert Saleh said Monday that it the chance he gets S Marcus Maye and LB Jarrad Davis back for Sunday's game against the Patriots "looks promising." Maye missed the past 2 games with an ankle injury. Davis has been on IR since the start of the season following an August ankle injury. We'll keep an eye on their statuses this week. Maye was a full-timer through the 1st 3 weeks and would be a risk/reward IDP option if he's in the Week 7 lineup. We'd try not to use Davis in what will be his 1st game with the Jets.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is active for today’s game vs. Washington. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we never heard any real concern about Hill’s status for this one. He carries a bit more risk than usual but remains a must-start.
Dolphins CB Xavien Howard (shoulder, groin) and CB Byron Jones (Achilles', groin) are inactive for today's game against the Jaguars. That leaves Miami's defense without its top 2 corners, which can only enhance the matchup for Jacksonville WRs Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. It’s Tua’s 1st action since getting knocked out early in Week 2. Jacksonville ranks 24th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs, but Tagovailoa is missing WRs Will Fuller, DeVante Parker and Preston Williams.
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill (quad) is expected to play vs. Washington today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Hill only got in a limited practice on Friday, but HC Andy Reid said he looked good then. We never heard any concern about Hill's status throughout the week. He remains a must-start in season-long fantasy leagues -- and we wouldn't be afraid to use Hill in DFS tournaments.
