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.

11:34am EST 11/21/21

Washington WR Curtis Samuel (groin) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He returned to a limited practice on Friday and is reportedly eyeing a Week 12 return.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Washington WR Curtis Samuel (groin) has just a "small chance" to play vs. the Panthers today. He's listed as questionable, but Samuel never seemed likely to play after getting in just 1 limited practice this week. Rapoport adds that Samuel should be back for Week 12. He's been sidelined since Week 5.

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper has landed on the COVID list. He's out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs and the Thanksgiving game vs. the Raiders. Cooper's absence should mean target boosts for CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup and Dalton Schultz. Cedrick Wilson is the favorite for #3 WR duties, but Noah Brown and Malik Turner might also mix in.

Washington WR Curtis Samuel (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. He's been out since Week 5. HC Ron Rivera confirmed that Samuel will be on a snap count if he ends up playing. He's not a Week 11 fantasy option.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (concussion) is not listed on the final injury report. He's been cleared to return for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. RB Rhamondre Stevenson went off in Harris' absence last week, making this a tough backfield to project for Week 11. Our best guess is that Harris returns to a lead role but cedes more work to Stevenson than he had been. RB Brandon Bolden will continue mixing in on passing downs.

Patriots RB Damien Harris returned to a limited practice on Tuesday -- his first since sustaining a concussion in Week 9. It gives him a shot to be cleared for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. We'll get another update on Harris tomorrow.

Rams EDGE Von Miller (ankle) is active for tonight's game against the 49ers. Miller entered the day questionable, but ESPN's Adam Schefter previously reported that the team wouldn't play Miller until he was close to "fully healed." Play Miller if you waited on him for your IDP lineup. A near-healthy Miller should enhance the L.A. defense. CB Darious Williams (ankle) is also active after entering the night questionable.

Patriots RB Damien Harris was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report. New England didn't actually practice, but the fact that Harris would have been sidelined if they had means he still has multiple stages of the concussion protocol to pass through. We'll get another update on his progress tomorrow ahead of Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons.

Rams OLB Von Miller is officially questionable for Monday night's game against the 49ers. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that they won't play Miller "unless the team believes his ankle injury is close to fully healed." He adds that the injury was worse than the Rams realized when they made the trade. A Week 11 bye could factor into the decision on whether to play him. At the least, the Monday night kickoff makes it difficult to wait on Miller for IDP rosters. Rams CB Darious Williams is also questionable after popping up on the injury report Friday with an ankle issue that kept him out of Saturday's practice. He's not worth waiting on.

Patriots RB Damien Harris (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. RB Rhamondre Stevenson (concussion) is still listed as questionable and evidently has a shot to be cleared by tomorrow. We'll keep you updated on his status.

The Patriots list RBs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns with their concussions. Neither guy practiced at all this week, so we’d be surprised if they were cleared by Sunday. Their absences would leave New England’s backfield to Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor. Bolden would be the preferred fantasy play as a borderline RB2 in that case.

Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) is not listed on the final injury report. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. We’re not expecting Knox to be limited in Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. He was sitting 4th among TEs in half-PPR points through Week 6.

Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jets. Knox averaged 4.5 targets, 3.5 catches, 47.7 yards and .8 TDs over the first 6 weeks of the season.

Patriots RBs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson missed practice again on Thursday with their concussions. Both guys now look unlikely to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. Their absences would leave New England's backfield to Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor.

Bills TE Dawson Knox (hand) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. Week 10 has been the target for his return from that broken hand, and he appears to have a good chance to play vs. the Jets on Sunday. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Patriots RBs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson missed Wednesday's practice with their concussions. They both have a long way to go to get cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor are New England's healthy RBs right now.

Washington WR Curtis Samuel (groin) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. There's still no timetable for his return from this lingering groin injury. Samuel isn't worth holding on benches outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues.

The Boston Herald's Karen Guregian confirms that Patriots RBs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson are in the concussion protocol. That makes them both iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Their absences would leave New England's backfield to Brandon Bolden and J.J. Taylor. We'll keep you updated on Harris and Stevenson's statuses.

Bills CB Taron Johnson left Sunday's loss to the Jaguars with a concussion. He'll need to pass through the league protocol before returning. Siran Neal will fill in if Johnson misses further time.

New Rams OLB Von Miller will miss his 1st game with the new team. He's inactive with the ankle injury that also cost him his final game in Denver. LB Ernest Jones (illness) and CB Jalen Ramsey (knee) are active, however, after hitting the day questionable.
