Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

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.

Colts RB Zack Moss injured his right arm at the end of a 16-yard TD catch in the second quarter of Saturday's game vs. the Steelers. This is the same arm that Moss broke back in training camp. He's officially questionable to return to this one. His absence leaves Indianapolis with RBs Tyler Goodson and Trey Sermon. Stay tuned for an update on Moss' status.

Update: Moss has been ruled out.

The Giants activated TE Darren Waller (hamstring) from IR, setting him up to play vs. the Saints on Sunday. Waller has been out since Week 8 and got in just two limited practices this week. We'd be surprised if he played a full slate of snaps against New Orleans tomorrow. See where Waller sits in the Week 15 TE Rankings.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase suffered a shoulder injury in the second half of Saturday's game vs. the Vikings and will not return. He was shown on the sidelines with what looked like a sling underneath his hoodie. We'll look for an update on Chase's injury and his status for Week 16 and beyond.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. No surprise after he missed practice all week. Stroud has a good chance to be cleared for Week 16. QB Case Keenum is expected to draw the start against Tennessee tomorrow.

The Rams have added DT Aaron Donald to the injury report. He's questionable for tomorrow's game against the Commanders because of "tightness in his groin," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We've knocked Donald down the Week 15 DL rankings. If he's out for the game, the Rams' defense would become a riskier play with likely a lower fantasy ceiling.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson is active for today's game vs. the Bengals. Jefferson was taken to the hospital last Sunday after taking a hard hit to the chest, but he dodged any severe injury. Earlier in the week, he said he expects to play a normal allotment of snaps. Check the WR Rankings to see if he cracks WR1 range alongside new QB Nick Mullens.

The Texans are expected to start QB Case Keenum rather than Davis Mills against the Titans on Sunday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 in Houston. Texans coaches reportedly trust Keenum's "big-game experience" as they fight for a playoff berth. We don't see a huge difference in fantasy outlook for the Texans offense between the two QBs, especially with Tank Dell out and Nico Collins not expected to play.

Bears S Jaquan Brisker (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports that Brisker "tweaked" his groin in Wednesday's practice but "seems to be doing better" after sitting out Thursday's workout. We'll check Brisker's status ahead of the game.

Cowboys WR Brandin Cooks (illness) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills. He only got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Guys almost always play through illness, so we’re expecting Cooks to be out there this weekend. But we’ll look for further updates on his status. WR Jalen Tolbert (illness) is also questionable.

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. Jordan Mason will again serve as San Francisco’s No. 2 RB – and Christian McCaffrey will continue to dominate backfield work.

Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (neck) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. The rookie has been out since Week 10 and couldn’t be trusted in season-long fantasy lineups if he plays on Sunday.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (heel) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We’re expecting Brown to play on Sunday, but it’s safe to assume that he’s still not at 100%. That leaves him as a shaky WR3 option.

Rams WR Tutu Atwell (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Commanders. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so there’s a real chance that he’s cleared in time for Sunday’s kickoff. We should get another update on Atwell’s progress on Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. He’d be just a fantasy flier if he ends up playing – but would knock WR Demarcus Robinson back off the fantasy radar.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee (neck) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. Los Angeles has a big 28.5-point implied total for that one, giving Higbee more TD upside than usual. But he’s finished as a top-12 PPR TE just three times this season, making him tough to trust as a fantasy starter.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (toe) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. HC Mike McDaniel called Achane’s availability an “unknown” on Thursday, so the rookie is seemingly in legitimate danger of missing this one. We’ll get Miami’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

The 49ers could be without LB Dre Greenlaw for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He's questionable with hip and ankle injuries after managing just one limited practice Friday. DC Steve Wilks said Thursday that he expected Greenlaw to play, according to The Athletic's Matt Barrows. CB Charvarius Ward (groin) is also questionable after following the same practice schedule. We'll watch for more on both players over the weekend. The 49ers have ruled out DT Javon Hargrave and DL Arik Armstead.

Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees) is questionable for the third straight game. He missed the past two contests. But this week marked the first time in that span that Holland managed limited practices every day. He told reporters Friday only that he's "day to day," "taking his time," and "coming along nicely," according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. We'll check Holland's status Sunday. It'll matter even more after Miami ruled out S DeShon Elliott with a concussion. S Brandon Jones should get his third straight start. Elijah Campbell stepped in after Elliott left last week's game. Missing both starting safeties would obviously make Miami's defense more vulnerable, especially a week after arguably the best game of Jets QB Zach Wilson's career. The Dolphins have also deemed CB Xavien Howard (hip) and Edge Andrew Van Ginkel (oblique) questionable. Howard missed one practice before returning to limited work Thursday and Friday. Van Ginkel was limited each day. We'll check their statuses Sunday morning.

The Titans have ruled DT Jeffery Simmons (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Texans. It'll be the second straight missed game for Simmons, who has yet to practice since sustaining the injury. That casts doubt on his Week 16 status as well. Tennessee allowed 158 rushing yards to the Dolphins with Simmons out of the lineup last week. That plus Houston likely being without QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) add upside to Texans RBs Dameon Pierce and Devin Singletary. The Titans would be in even worse shape without DE Denico Autry. He's questionable with a knee injury after missing practice Wednesday and Friday (with a limited Thursday in between). We'll check Autry's status Sunday.

Packers LB Quay Walker (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. He managed limited practices Thursday and Friday, so Walker's at least trending in the right direction. We'll check his status Sunday. CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder) and S Darnell Savage (shoulder) are also questionable.

Buccaneers LB Devin White (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers. HC Todd Bowles told reporters Friday that White will be a "game-day decision." That's a little surprising after he put in full practices Thursday and Friday, but White did miss the past two games. We'll check his status Sunday but would bet he'll play. Tampa Bay ruled CB Carlton Davis (groin) out. DT Vita Vea (toe) is doubtful. CB Jamel Dean (ankle, foot) is questionable.
