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.
The Cowboys traded WR Amari Cooper and a 6th-round pick to the Browns in exchange for 5th- and 6th-round picks. The compensation is minimal because Cleveland is taking on all of Cooper's $20 million cap hits over the next 3 seasons. The Cowboys were reportedly set to release Cooper if they couldn't find a trade partner. Dallas is believed to be the frontrunners to re-sign WRs Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson, who would join CeeDee Lamb as the team's top 3 WRs. In Cleveland, meanwhile, Cooper should establish himself as the #1 WR. Exactly how big a target share he garners will depend on whether the Browns bring back WR Jarvis Landry and/or add more to the WR room. But a run-first offense and questionable QB play puts a damper on Cooper's 2022 fantasy outlook.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cowboys are “likely” to release WR Amari Cooper. It's a matter of money, as the veteran is scheduled to count $22 million against Dallas' salary cap. (If cut, he’ll carry a figure of only ~$6 million.) Coming off an inconsistent year 2, CeeDee Lamb would project as the big winner here. Note that Michael Gallup, Cedrick Wilson and Dalton Schultz are all impending free agents.
Update: According to multiple reports, the Cowboys will try to trade Cooper but are expected to release him if that doesn't work out. Multiple reports also have the team planning to try for a long-term deal with Gallup.
The Bills have promoted QBs coach Ken Dorsey to OC. The Giants reportedly made a run to reunite Dorsey with new HC Brian Daboll, but Dorsey will instead stay with QB Josh Allen in Buffalo. Dorsey has been with the Bills since 2019. He has no OC experience at any level -- but at least there will be some continuity with the Bills offense.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) is active for tonight's game at Buffalo. Harris was a limited participant in practice all week. He enters with TDs in 5 straight, with 8 total scores over that stretch.
The Rams have ruled S Taylor Rapp out for Monday night's game against the Cardinals. Rapp is dealing with a concussion he suffered last Sunday. His absence leaves L.A. without its 2 starting safeties, as Jordan Fuller had previously been deemed out for the season with an ankle injury. The Rams signed veteran S Eric Weddle early in the week. Stu Jackson of the team website reports that coaches are "looking at a range of possible snaps for him." Elsewhere on the defense, HC Sean McVay said there's a "good chance" LB Troy Reeder will wear the green dot and call the defensive plays, which points to full playing time for Reeder.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is officially questionable for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Bills. He's 1 of 13 Patriots listed as questionable. Harris is fully expected to play, but we'll get New England's inactives around 7 pm ET on Saturday.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He was limited in practice all week and carries some additional risk with that hammy issue.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. We’re expecting Harris to play but will look for an update on his status on Sunday morning. Patriots-Dolphins doesn’t kick off until 4:25 pm ET.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was pulled from last week's game, but it looks like that was due to New England's huge lead over Jacksonville. We're tentatively expecting Harris to play vs. the Dolphins on Sunday.
Giants DL Austin Johnson (foot) is active for today's game against the Eagles.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bills. He was limited in practice all week and carries some risk of re-injury. But, with RB Rhamondre Stevenson (COVID) out, Harris could handle a big workload today.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) "should be good to go" for today's game vs. the Bills, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harris hasn't played since hurting his hamstring in the 1st Buffalo game back in Week 13. He was limited in practice this week. There's elevated risk here. But with RB Rhamondre Stevenson (COVID) out, Harris could be in for a big workload today if that hamstring holds up.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He put in 3 limited practices last week before being a late rule-out for the Colts game. We'll see if Harris can make it back for Sunday's showdown vs. the Bills.
The Rams have activated EDGE Von Miller from the COVID list ahead of tonight's game against the Seahawks.
Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll play vs. the Panthers on Sunday. That’s a negative matchup, and Allen won’t be at 100%. But he still sits comfortably inside our top 10 QBs for Week 15.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Saturday night's game vs. the Colts. He'd been listed as questionable after a limited week of practice. His absence will leave Rhamondre Stevenson to dominate early-down work. Stevenson will lose passing-down snaps to RB Brandon Bolden but looks like a RB2 with upside.
Washington WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. It's a new injury for Samuel, who had been dealing with a groin issue since the spring. It's been a lost season for the man who signed a 3-year, $34.5 million deal in March.
The Rams have placed EDGE Von Miller on the COVID list, which likely means he'll miss Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) remained limited in Thursday's practice. All signs continue to point toward him playing vs. the Panthers this weekend, but check back tomorrow for another update.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game vs. the Colts. He put in 3 limited practices this week. As usual, there's been nothing out of New England on Harris' status, but we're tentatively expecting him to play. We'll get New England's inactives around 7 pm ET on Saturday.
