Los Angeles Chargers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Ravens RB Gus Edwards (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. That should put him on track to play vs. the Panthers this weekend, but we'll track his progress over the next few days.

The Lions have designated WR D.J. Chark to return from IR. Shark hasn't played since Week 3 because of an ankle injury. The team now has 3 weeks to decide whether to return him to the active roster. We'll see how soon Chark actually gets back into the lineup, and we'll need to see at least 1 game from him before considering him for fantasy football lineups. Chark collected 7 catches for 96 yards across the 1st 3 games of the year.

Lions WR D.J. Chark (ankle) has been designated to return from IR. He's expected "to do a little bit" in Wednesday's practice, per insider Tim Twentyman. It doesn't sound like Chark will be ready to play vs. the Giants this weekend, but we'll monitor his progress.

Chargers QB Justin Herbergt managed just 196 passing yards, 1 TD and 1 INT in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers. It marked the 1st time this season that he fell short of 200 yards but his 4th straight game short of 6 yards per pass attempt. NBC's Cris Collinsworth said after the game that the Chargers hope to get Keenan Allen and/or Mike Williams back for Week 11. That would obviously help the QB.

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (hip, ribs) is inactive for today’s game against the Colts. That leaves Vegas without its top 3 LBs from last week’s lineup. Veteran Jayon Brown looks like the best bet to lead the corps this week, though it’s a guess after he spent the past 2 games as a healthy scratch

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (hip, ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. He put in limited practices the past 2 days after missing Wednesday. If he's ready to go, Perryman will carry big upside against a Colts team that has supplied more fantasy points to LBs than any other.

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman (hip, ribs) returned to a limited practice Thursday after missing Wednesday. If he's ready to play Sunday, he should lead the team's LBs in snaps. Divine Deablo landed on IR this week, and Blake Martinez retired Thursday. An active Perryman will be a strong play in a high-upside matchup for LBs.

Raiders LB Denzel Perryman missed Wednesday's practice with hip and rib injuries. Levi Damien of Raiders Wire says Perryman was "visibly in pain for much of the game" in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. It's tough to say whether that impacted his playing time. Perryman played 75% of defensive snaps vs. 91% for Blake Martinez, in a game Divine Deablo left early. With Deablo now on IR, Martinez looks like the safest IDP option in the corps for this week and a solid-to-good starter over at least the next 4 games. We'll see about Perryman's status for Sunday's home date with the Colts, a high-upside matchup.

Chargers HC Brandon Staley said Wednesday that EDGE Joey Bosa is getting close to returning to the field. Might he make it back for this Sunday's matchup against the 49ers and his brother Nick? "I just know that he's back in the building," Staley told reporters. "He's not there for practice yet. We'll let you know when he's going to come back to practice. He is in good spirits. I think that we're getting closer to that practice point, just don't know exactly when that is going to be." That doesn't seem to point to Bosa being ready for Week 10. But he's worth stashing -- where it makes sense -- in IDP leagues now ahead of a potential Week 11 return. Bosa has been out since Week 3 with a groin injury that required surgery.

Missing Keenan Allen and Mike Williams due to injuries, Chargers QB Justin Herbert managed only 245 yards and 1 TD in Week 9. He added 1 INT on 43 attempts — T-3rd-most on the week. Forced to play hero ball while dealing with 4 dropped passes, Herbert wound up with the 4th highest PFF passing grade. Week 10 turns up a much tougher road matchup at San Francisco. Herbert will likely remain without both Allen and Williams, too.

As expected, Ravens RB Gus Edwards (hamstring) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Saints. We're expecting Kenyan Drake to operate as Baltimore's lead back, with RB Justice Hill the #2.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards (hamstring) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Rams. His absence leaves Baltimore's backfield to Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill. Drake is the best bet to lead the way in touches.

Chargers TE Donald Parham has been placed on IR with his hamstring injury. He'll miss at least the next 4 games and can be dropped from all redraft rosters. Parham's absence is a slight boost for TE Gerald Everett.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards (hamstring) missed practice again on Friday. It's looking like he'll miss Monday night's game vs. the Saints, which would leave Baltimore's backfield to Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. We're tentatively expecting Edwards to miss Monday night's game vs. the Saints, leaving Baltimore's backfield to Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.

Chargers TE Donald Parham did not practice on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. He just cleared the concussion protocol but now looks iffy for this weekend's game vs. Atlanta. Parham's absence would be a slight boost to TE Gerald Everett's fantasy stock.

Chargers TE Donald Parham has cleared the concussion protocol and is on track to play vs. the Falcons this weekend. He's not a fantasy option but does add some downside to TE Gerald Everett. When we last saw Parham in Week 6, he ran a route on just 18% of pass plays and drew 3 targets (5% share).

Chargers WR Josh Palmer has cleared the concussion protocol, HC Brandon Staley said Wednesday. Barring a setback, Palmer will play vs. the Falcons this weekend. He's needed for a significant role with WR Mike Williams out and WR Keenan Allen still dealing with hamstring problems.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards has a "minor" hamstring strain, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. He reports that Edwards will be questionable for the Monday night visit to New Orleans in Week 9 "but hasn't been ruled out." The uncertainty on Edwards makes Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill each worth a look in waiver runs this week. We'd target Drake first, after he worked ahead of Hill each of the past 2 weeks.

Ravens RB Gus Edwards' hamstring injury is considered "minor," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears. "If he misses time, it’s likely just a week or so," Rapoport adds. Baltimore has a Week 10 bye, so it seems most likely that Edwards is held out of next Sunday's game vs. the Saints. But we'll keep an eye on him when the Ravens return to practice on Wednesday.
