Philadelphia Eagles 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.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. Washington. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but put in a full practice on Friday. That suggests that Hurts is likely to play on Sunday -- but we're also expecting his rushing ability to be limited as he returns from what was reportedly a high-ankle sprain.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. Reportedly dealing with a high-ankle sprain, Hurts' status for Sunday's game vs. Washington remains uncertain. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. We knew Hurts was battling a sprain, but this is the first time we've heard that it's a high-ankle sprain, which is a tougher injury to return from. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo calls Hurts "legit questionable" for Sunday's game vs. Washington. We'll keep a close eye on him over the next few days. But, if Hurts does play, it's tough to imagine him posting his usual rushing production with this injury.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said Wednesday that QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) is "trending upward." Sirianni said that both Hurts and QB Gardner Minshew would get reps in Wednesday's walkthrough and stopped short of guaranteeing that Hurts will play vs. Washington this weekend. We'll get another update tomorrow.

Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s certainly not the safest fantasy play in his first action since Week 9. But Jones also brings exciting upside with a chance to hog targets in today’s plus matchup.

2:27pm EST 12/11/21

Titans WR Julio Jones (hamstring) has been activated from IR, setting him up to play vs. the Jaguars on Sunday. Jones has been out since Week 9 and been bothered by hamstring trouble almost all season, so he carries plenty of risk in Week 14 fantasy lineups. But he also has a chance to dominate Titans targets with WR A.J. Brown out.

Jalen Hurts remains the Eagles' starting QB, HC Nick Sirianni confirmed. QB Gardner Minshew played well in relief of Hurts on Sunday, completing 20 of 25 passes for 242 yards, 2 TDs and 0 INTs vs. the Jets ... but it was the Jets. As long as Hurts' ankle checks out, he'll be back under center for Week 15 vs. Washington.

The Titans have designated WR Julio Jones to return from IR. That means he can practice with the team this week, though it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be back on the active roster for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. We'll watch to see whether Jones takes that final step in time for Week 14 fantasy lineups. Jones has been out since Week 9 with the latest iteration of his bothersome hamstring issue. When he does return, he'll find a Tennessee offense in desperate need of WR help. That should boost the veteran's target outlook.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (hamstring) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He just returned to practice this week. Parker has averaged 8.6 targets, 5 catches and 65.4 yards across 5 games this season, but he carries elevated risk in his first action since Week 8.

11:08am EST 12/5/21

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) is officially inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. QB Gardner Minshew gets the start and is a viable play in 2-QB and Superflex leagues against the #31 QB defense. The Eagles still figure to lean on their running game in this one.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jets, according to Eagles writer Derrick Gunn. That will make Gardner Minshew the starter. Gunn adds that RB Boston Scott will be a game-time decision. Scott is dealing with an illness that kept him out of practice all week. With Jordan Howard ruled out, Miles Sanders could be in for a bigger-than-normal workload in 1 of the league's most favorable matchups for RB scoring.

Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Hurts "very well may be out" but that the team wants to "see how Hurts is feeling" Sunday before making a final decision on his status. It still sounds like you should make alternate plans at QB if you had been planning to use Hurts.

The Dolphins are activating WR DeVante Parker from IR to face the Giants on Sunday. Parker has been out since Week 8 with a hamstring injury but proceeded well through the practice week. He's a lower-level fantasy option with upside, though the Giants have played tough in pass defense over the past month.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) is "up in the air" for Sunday's game vs. the Jets, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport suggests that Hurts will be a game-time decision and says "there's a chance" QB Gardner Minshew gets the start. The good news for fantasy owners is that we'll find out whether Hurts is active around 11:30 am ET tomorrow. He'll obviously carry more risk than usual in fantasy lineups if he ends up playing.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. He was limited in practice all week. HC Nick Sirianni said Friday morning that Hurts’ status is “an unknown.” We’ll continue looking for updates on Hurts and will find out whether he’s active around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. QB Gardner Minshew would start for Philly if Hurts can't.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He's expected to play vs. the Jets this weekend, but it'd be nice to see him get in a full practice on Friday.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) participated in Wednesday's walkthrough and told reporters that he'll play vs. the Jets this weekend. He probably still needs to get the green light from the team docs. But if Hurts does play, the question then becomes how much the ankle injury impacts his rushing production. He'll at least bring more passing upside than usual vs. a Jets squad sitting 31st in Football Outsiders' pass defense rankings.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (hamstring) was designated to return from IR and practiced on Wednesday. He's been out since going down in Week 8. Parker is eligible to play vs. the Giants on Sunday, but it's still unclear if he'll be ready. We'll keep an eye on him over the next few days.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said Monday that QB Jalen Hurts is "nursing a sore ankle" he hurt in Sunday's loss to the Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. He reports that the issue "could impact" Hurts' availability for Sunday's game against the Jets. Philly then has a Week 14 bye, which could factor into the team's decision on who will start at QB. Gardner Minshew would fill in if Hurts can't go.

Colts LB Darius Leonard (ankle) is active for today's game against the Buccaneers. He entered the day questionable but appears to be operating at a similar level to wear he's been. The ankle has been a season-long issue.

11:34am EST 11/28/21

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. He was limited in practice this week and listed as questionable, but Barkley got out of last week’s game without a setback and should be in better shape today.
