Chicago Bears 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 LB Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring) is inactive for today's games against the Steelers. Tyrel Dodson should be the fill-in. DT Ed Oliver (ankle) is active.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (hamstring) isn’t listed on the final Week 5 injury report. He was added and limited on Thursday but returned to a full practice on Friday. Everett looks safe to use in Week 5 fantasy lineups.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. He’s tentatively expected back after Detroit’s Week 6 bye. Jamaal Williams gets another game as lead back this weekend.

The Chargers have ruled WR Keenan Allen out for the 3rd straight game with his hamstring injury. Allen missed practice every day this week. That seems like a setback vs. Week 4, when Allen managed limited workouts Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday. We'll see about his status for Week 6. The Chargers' bye doesn't come until Week 8.

Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. He missed practice all week and seems like a risky IDP option even if active. DTs Ed Oliver (ankle) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring) are also questionable.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett was added to Thursday's injury report with a hamstring and limited in practice. That has his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Browns in question. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) missed practice again on Thursday. He's looking like a long shot to play vs. the Browns this weekend, but we'll get Los Angeles' final injury report tomorrow.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler confirms that Lions RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is "likely" out for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. "Plan is still for him to return after the bye (Week 7), barring unforeseen development," Fowler adds. Jamaal Williams will get 1 more game as Detroit's lead back, in a plus matchup vs. New England's 28th-ranked RB defense.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) remained sidelined on Wednesday. It looks like Detroit still plans on holding him out through the Week 6 bye. Assuming Swift misses Sunday's game vs. the Patriots, RB Jamaal Williams will again be a strong fantasy play.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. At this point, fantasy owners can't be counting on Allen in Week 5 fantasy lineups. We'll see if he gets back on the practice field tomorrow.

Bears K Cairo Santos will miss today's game vs. the Giants due to a personal issue. Michael Badgley will kick in his place. Hopefully you're not invested in this situation.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 5. Allen's absence keeps Josh Palmer in the WR3 mix for another week.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. It sounds like Detroit plans to hold him out through the Week 6 bye. Jamaal Williams will operate as Detroit's clear lead back this weekend, with Craig Reynolds as the #2 RB.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He seems to be trending toward returning for this weekend's game vs. Houston, but we'll get another update tomorrow.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) remained sidelined on Thursday. Expect him to be ruled out tomorrow for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Consider it good news after he went from limited practices last Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday. We'll get another update on Allen's status tomorrow.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. He seems unlikely to play vs. the Seahawks this weekend.

3:01pm EDT 9/28/22

The Seahawks placed RB Travis Homer (ribs) on IR. He's out at least the next 4 weeks. Homer had been playing a passing-down role for Seattle before the injury. We'd expect that work to now go to RB DeeJay Dallas, but we'll see if RBs Rashaad Penny or Ken Walker can pick up some of it.

Lions HC Dan Campbell confirmed on Monday that RB D'Andre Swift could miss some time with his left shoulder injury. Campbell insinuated that Swift might be allowed to heal up through Detroit's Week 6 bye. That'd mean he'd miss the next 2 games vs. the Seahawks and Patriots. We'll continue to track the situation, but Swift owners should start making other plans for the next 2 weeks. Jamaal Williams figures to land in RB2 territory in our Week 4 Rankings.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift sprained his left shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Swift isn't expected to need surgery but "could miss some time," Pelissero adds. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but fantasy owners should plan on being without Swift at least for Week 4. His absence would turn RB Jamaal Williams into an RB2.
