Buffalo Bills 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.

Bills QB Josh Allen threw for a season-low 147 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. He went just 16 of 27 passing, with 1 TD, taking 3 sacks along the way. Allen saved his fantasy line with 1 TD and 47 yards on 10 rushing attempts. That helped him crack 20 fantasy points for just the 2nd time among his past 5 outings, by ESPN scoring. Favorable matchups with the Dolphins and Bears await the next 2 weeks.

Bills LB Matt Milano (knee) is active for today's game against the Jets. He managed only a single limited practice this week, though, and carries risk in IDP lineups.

Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. Cooper injured his hip on Thursday and then wasn't able to practice on Friday. NFL Network’s James Palmer reports that “there could be a pitch count in place” for Cooper today. He’s a risky fantasy play.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) "has a good chance to play" Sunday against the Bengals. That agrees with Cooper's stated expectation earlier in the week. We'll confirm his status Sunday morning.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (thigh) is doubtful for Monday night’s game against the Cardinals. That means another game of Rhamondre Stevenson as workhorse back. The fantasy football ceiling is high.

Bills LB Matt Milano (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. He put in only a limited Friday practice and looks like a player better avoided in IDP lineups this week. We'll watch Milano's status over the weekend.

Browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. Cooper injured his hip on Thursday and then wasn't able to practice on Friday. ESPN's Jake Trotter asked Cooper on Friday afternoon if he'll be available for Sunday's game and Cooper replied, "should be." We'll get Cleveland's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. If Cooper does play, he'll carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (thigh) did not practice on Thursday. He seems unlikely to play vs. the Cardinals on Monday night, which would again leave RB Rhamondre Stevenson in an every-down role.

Browns WR Amari Cooper was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a hip issue. We don't have any other details at this point. We'll see what Cooper does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals.

Surgery on the right knee of Bills EDGE Von Miller this week revealed that he tore the ACL on Thanksgiving against the Lions. Doctors believed the meniscus to be the big issue, as MRI did not reveal the ACL damage. Miller is now obviously out for the rest of this season. We'll see how he fares in getting ready for 2023.

Browns WR Amari Cooper drew 9 targets, 41% of the team's total pass attempts in QB Deshaun Watson's debut Sunday against the Texans. Cooper managed just 4 receptions for 40 yards. Watson completed only 54.5% of his throws in his 1st action since the 2020 season. We'd assume Watson will improve from here, but it'll need to happen quickly for Cooper's sake.

The Bills have placed EDGE Von Miller (knee) on IR. He'll miss at least 3 more games (after missing Thursday night's win at New England), which makes Miller cuttable in IDP redraft leagues.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (thigh) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Bills. That figures to leave RB Rhamondre Stevenson in a workhorse role. He's averaged 15.4 carries and 6.4 targets in the 5 games that Harris missed all or most of this season.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (thigh) did not practice on Tuesday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said yesterday that Harris is not expected to play against the Bills on Thursday night. That'd leave RB Rhamondre Stevenson in a workhorse role. He checks in as a top-4 RB across scoring formats in the Week 13 Rankings.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Patriots RB Damien Harris isn't expected to play Thursday night against the Bills because of the thigh injury that knocked him out of the Thanksgiving night game. His absence would make Rhamondre Stevenson the clear backfield leader. Rookies Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris are the only other RBs on the active roster, with J.J. Taylor a candidate for elevation from the practice squad.

Bills EDGE Greg Rousseau returned to practice Sunday after missing the past 3 games with an ankle sprain. "I'm feeling good man, pretty close for sure," he said afterward, according to the team website. We'll see what the team practice reports say over the next 3 days, leading up to Thursday night's clash with the Patriots.

Browns WR Amari Cooper drew a target on 32.4% of QB Jacoby Brissett's dropbacks in Sunday's OT win over the Buccaneers, turning his 12 looks into 7 catches for 94 yards. Cooper could have had even more but dropped a long pass late in regulation. He made up for that with a 46-yard reception to set up the game-winning TD run in OT. For the game, Cooper accounted for 30.4% of Browns receptions and 44.8% of receiving yards. WR David Bell ranked 2nd among wideouts with 4 catches for 23 yards on 6 targets. WR Donovan Peoples-Jones contributed just 2 receptions for 16 yards among 4 targets. WR Anthony Schwartz added 1 catch but ran for a 31-yard TD on a 1st-quarter reverse. Browns receivers should have a new QB next time out, with Deshaun Watson eligible to return from suspension in Week 13.

Bills EDGE Von Miller tore the lateral meniscus in this right knee in Thursday's win over the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Miller will be evaluated again in 7-10 days, and Rapoport adds that he'll need surgery on it at some point. The question will be whether it can wait until after the season. Missing Miller will hurt a defense that has dealt with myriad injuries -- and suffered for it by the fantasy numbers.

Patriots RB Damien Harris suffered a thigh injury in Thursday night's game against the Vikings and has been ruled out. We'll see about his outlook heading into Week 13.

Bills RB James Cook carried only twice (for 4 yards) and caught 2 of 5 targets for 14 more in Thursday's win over the Lions. He did tie for 3rd on the team in targets, but even that put him way behind leaders Stefon Diggs (15) and Isaiah McKenzie (10). RB Devin Singletary rushed 14 times for 72 yards and caught his lone target for 8 yards.
