Minnesota Vikings 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.

Texans DE Jonathan Greenard is questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks with a foot injury that has lingered for weeks. Greenard saw his playing time dip last week to its lowest snap share since Week 5. Then his practice participation declined. Greenard went from 3 limited workouts last week to sandwiching a missed Thursday practice between 2 limited appearances this week. Even if he's active vs. Seattle, it's clear he's dealing with a limiting injury. We'll update his status Sunday morning.

Lions TE T.J. Hockenson (hand) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday and Friday. He won’t play on Sunday, and his availability for Week 15 and beyond is unclear. Hockenson’s absence leaves Brock Wright as Detroit’s likely lead pass-catching TE, but you should be able to do much better in fantasy lineups.

Dolphins RB Myles Gaskin tested positive for COVID, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Gaskin is vaccinated, so there's a chance he's cleared in time for Miami's Week 15 game vs. the Jets. If not, the Dolphins would be down to RBs Phillip Lindsay and Salvon Ahmed on the active roster. RBs Duke Johnson and Gerrid Doaks are on the practice squad, while RB Malcolm Brown (quad) is eligible to come off IR

Lions TE T.J. Hockenson (hand) went from a limited practice on Wednesday to no practice on Thursday. Tim Twentyman of the team's official website tweeted that Hockenson's left hand was "wrapped pretty good." His availability for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos is suddenly in question. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) is "likely" to miss Sunday's game against the Chargers, a source tells insider Ralph Vacchiano. QB Mike Glennon, meanwhile, is in the concussion protocol, making him iffy for Week 14. So it could be Jake Fromm under center for the G-Men. The 2020 5th-rounder was just signed off the Bills practice squad last week and has yet to attempt a regular-season NFL pass.

Cardinals CB Byron Murphy (foot) is active for today's game against the Bears.

Texans DE Jonathan Greenard (foot) is active for today's game against the Colts. He played through a questionable tag last week and should be in most IDP lineups. Houston made LB Zach Cunningham a healthy scratch, with Christian Kirksey back off IR. That clearly points to Kirksey regaining a full-time spot next to Kamu Grugier-Hill.

The Jaguars have ruled CB Shaq Griffin out for the 2nd straight game because of his concussion. Nevin Lawson has filled in for him.

Texans DE Jonathan Greenard (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. He played through a questionable tag last week and put in limited practices throughout this week, so we'd bet on Greenard playing. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) will miss Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins, and his status beyond that is uncertain. "There's no indication of when he'll be cleared," insider Ralph Vacchiano reports. "At the moment, this is not considered a season-ending injury ... it could be days, it could be weeks with this kind of injury." QB Mike Glennon will start for the G-Men for however long Jones is out.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He practiced this week but hasn't been cleared for contact, HC Joe Judge said. QB Mike Glennon will start in Jones' place on Sunday. He's a low-end QB2 but might be just a slight downgrade for the Giants offense.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He said he's preparing to start this weekend's game vs. the Dolphins but conceded that the medical staff has the final say. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday that QB Mike Glennon is expected to draw the start against Miami. We'll see where this goes, but you should be avoiding the situation in 1-QB leagues.

Giants QB Daniel Jones strained his neck early in last week's game vs. the Eagles, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Jones played the rest of that one but is now considered "week to week" and is expected to miss at least 1 game, Pelissero adds. That sets QB Mike Glennon up to start Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. The 31-year-old went 16 of 25 for 196 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs in relief of Jones back in Week 5 vs. Dallas. He made 5 starts for the Jaguars last year, mustering just 6.0 yards per attempt with 7 TDs and 5 INTs. Glennon is a bottom-barrel QB2 and likely to be a downgrade for New York's offense.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He’s 2 weeks removed from spraining his MCL and was limited in practice all week. It’s completely unclear how big a role Jones will play today, leaving him as a risky fantasy play. Don’t be surprised if RB A.J. Dillon ends up with more touches.

ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero report that Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is a game-time decision for today's tilt with the Rams. Pelissero says there's "some optimism" that Jones will play. Schefter says Jones "wants to play" but suggests that the Packers' Week 13 bye might factor into the final decision. This game doesn't kick off until 4:25 pm ET, so we won't get Green Bay's inactives until 3 pm. If you're hoping to use Jones today, you'll need a late-game alternative lined up. A.J. Dillon would go from RB1 to RB3 if Jones ends up active.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He was limited in practice all week. HC Matt LaFleur said Friday that Jones will be evaluated again on Saturday and that a final decision on his availability might not come until pregame warmups.

After HC Matt LaFleur's press conference, The Athletic's Matt Schneidman tweeted that it "sounds like" Jones will be a game-time decision for Sunday's meeting with the Rams. We'll get another update on Jones tomorrow.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) was officially limited in Wednesday's practice. He was expected to miss 1-2 weeks with his sprained MCL, so it's possible that he's back for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. It's worth noting, though, that Green Bay has a Week 13 bye, which might factor into the decision on whether to play Jones this weekend.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur said RB Aaron Jones (knee) "will be on the field at practice" Wednesday, per insider Tom Silverstein. We'll see how Jones is listed on the official practice report later today, but it sounds like he has some chance to return for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. Stay tuned.
