Los Angeles Chargers 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 OLB Khalil Mack (foot) is active for today's game against the Buccaneers. DL Bilal Nichols (knee) and CB Duke Shelley (ankle) are as well.

Bears OLB Khalil Mack (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. He has made a habit of playing through questionable tags, so it seems unwise to bet against Mack. The Buccaneers present 1 of the league's worst sack matchups, though. So it's not a great spot for an active Mack. Also questionable are DL Akiem Hicks (groin), DL Bilal Nichols (knee) and CB Duke Shelley (ankle). Chicago has ruled out S Tashaun Gipson. Deon Bush, who replaced an injured Gipson earlier this season, is on IR. So it'll be DeAndre Houston-Carson starting in Gipson's place.

Bears OLB Khalil Mack (foot) is active for today's game against the Packers. He missed practice all week, so there's a chance he's limited vs. his usual performance level. But he's available for IDP lineups. DL Akiem Hicks (groin) and CB Duke Shelley (ankle) are active as well after arriving questionable.

The Chargers have ruled LB Drue Tranquill out for Sunday's game at Baltimore with a chest injury. S Nasir Adderley is questionable with a hip injury. We'll update his status Sunday morning. Tranquill's absence should make Kyzir White a good bet to lead Chargers LBs in playing time and tackles.

Bears EDGE Khalil Mack is active for today’s game against the Raiders. S Tashaun Gipson is also active for the 1st time since Week 2

Titans LB Bud Dupree is inactive for today's game against the Jaguars. DL Denico Autry is active after arriving questionable.

Bears OLB Khalil Mack is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. He told reporters Friday, though: "I'm going to be out there. If I'm out there, I'm 100%." Mack played through a questionable tag last week for a foot issue. This time around, he's also listed with a rib injury. There's risk but also upside to Mack in IDP lineups. DL Akiem Hicks (groin) is doubtful or the game. Chicago might get S Tashaun Gipson back. He's questionable with a hamstring injury that cost him the past 2 games.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark has been placed on IR and will miss the rest of the season with his fractured ankle. Tavon Austin somewhat unbelievably stepped in as Jacksonville's #3 WR after Chark exited Thursday night's game in Cincinnati, but we wouldn't bother adding him to fantasy rosters. WRs Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault should pick up extra volume with Chark out of the picture

Bears EDGE Khalil Mack is active for today's game against the Lions. He entered questionable with a foot injury and could be limited vs. his usual effectiveness. But Mack is available if you planned to play him in your IDP lineup.

Bears EDGE Khalil Mack is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions with a foot injury. He missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning for a limited Friday workout. Mack tends to play through these questionable tags, but we'll check his status Sunday morning. S Tashaun Gipson, meanwhile, is doubtful with the hamstring injury that kept him out last week.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark suffered a left leg injury in the 1st quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Bengals and had to be carted off the field. We'll update his status when we know more. WRs Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault will pick up more work with Chark out.

Update: Chark fractured his left ankle, according to multiple reports. He'll obviously miss the rest of the season. We'll see about his status heading into 2022.

Chargers S Derwin James left Sunday's game at Kansas City with a separated shoulder, but the issue didn't keep him out long. “Derwin is like, ‘Yeah, my shoulder just dislocated,’ acting like it wasn’t anything,” teammate Joey Bosa told the Los Angeles Times on Monday. “But his shoulder actually came out of the socket and he just popped it back in and came running right back out on the field.” James wound up missing just 7 of 79 defensive snaps for the game. And it looks like IDP fantasy players have nothing to worry about going forward.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert's right (throwing) hand was wrapped and iced after Sunday's win over the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's James Palmer. Herbert was able to play through the issue, and Palmer confirms that the post-game treatment was "most likely precaution." But this will be a situation to monitor this coming week.

Chargers S Derwin James left Sunday’s game at Kansas City with a shoulder injury. He’s questionable to return

Titans OLB Bud Dupree (knee) is active for today's game against the Colts. He entered questionable and still doesn't seem 100% back from last year's ACL tear. We'd try not to use him in IDP lineups. But he's available if you're in need.

Chargers EDGE Joey Bosa didn't practice all week because of foot and ankle injuries, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that he's still considered a game-time decision Sunday against the Chiefs. "He's sore, but he's improved every day and does have a more than realistic chance to get on the field," Rapoport adds. We'd still try not to use Bosa in IDP lineups. The matchup would be negative for even a fully healthy Bosa.

Titans OLB Bud Dupree is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts because of knee trouble. He played through a questionable tag last week for 72% of the snaps. This week, however, found him missing practice both Wednesday and Friday. Dupree put in 2 limited workouts before playing Week 2. We'll update his status Sunday morning, but Dupree -- coming off a late 2020 ACL tear -- shouldn't be anywhere near your IDP lineups.

Chargers EDGE Joey Bosa (foot, ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. Bosa missed practice all week and doesn’t look like a good IDP bet even if active. This was already a negative matchup for him

The Chargers held practice Wednesday without EDGE Joey Bosa (foot, ankle) and S Derwin James (toe). James played every defensive snap in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, and Bosa matched his Week 1 allotment (82%), so we're guessing neither is a serious issue. But we'll watch their participation levels through the week.

Chargers CB Chris Harris Jr. is out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys with a shoulder injury. That leaves L.A. without its top cover man and primary slot corner. Dallas WR Cedrick Wilson likely stands to benefit the most. With Michael Gallup out, Wilson will serve as the #3 wideout and played 85% of his pass snaps in the slot in Week 1.
