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.

Titans DT Jeffery Simmons is dealing with a shoulder injury that kept him out of Wednesday's practice and limited him Thursday and Friday. But he carries no designation on the team's final injury report and thus looks ready to go for Sunday's game against the Ravens in London.

Niners LB Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. He missed the first two practices before returning to a limited Friday. This looks like a risky spot to play Greenlaw. We've moved him down our Week 6 LB rankings but will confirm his game status Sunday.

The Jets have ruled CB D.J. Reed (concussion) out for Sunday's game against the Eagles. The team also lists CB Sauce Gardner as questionable with an illness, but HC Robert Saleh expects him to play, according to Pro Football Talk.

Patriots S Kyle Dugger is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders after a foot injury popped up during the practice week. He put in limited practices Thursday and Friday. We'll check his status Sunday.

Dolphins Edge Jaelan Phillips (oblique) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Phillips managed limited practices all week, which is also what he did last week before entering the game questionable and going inactive. We'll check his status Sunday morning.

Rams LB Ernest Jones is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Knee swelling cost him the first two practices of the week. Jones returned for a limited Friday workout, and HC Sean McVay expects the LB to play, according to Rams Wire. We'll check Jones' status Sunday.

Chargers S Derwin James appears set to return from his injured hamstring. He put in full practices Thursday and Friday, ahead of Monday night's game against the Cowboys. We'd bet on James carrying no injury designation on the final report, but we'll see what the team says tomorrow.

The Raiders have ruled CB Nate Hobbs (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Patriots. It'll be the third straight game without Hobbs.

Jaguars LB Devin Lloyd (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. He said earlier in the week that he'd be ready to play with a cast on the repaired thumb. We'll check Lloyd's status Sunday morning. If he can't go, Chad Muma would get another game in his place.

The Lions have ruled S Brian Branch (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. Without Branch last week, the Detroit secondary found Kerby Joseph and Tracy Walker at safety with Will Harris manning the slot between CBs Cameron Sutton and Jerry Jacobs.

The Cardinals have ruled S Jalen Thompson (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Rams. That leaves Arizona without both starting safeties, with Budda Baker (hamstring) still on IR. K'Von Wallace and Andre Chachere will start against the pass-heavy Rams.

Bears RB Khalil Herbert has been placed on IR, knocking him out for at least the next four games. He'll miss contests against the Vikings, Raiders, Chargers, and Saints and will be eligible to return in Week 10 against the Panthers. We'd try to hang on to Herbert, but he might be a casualty in shallow-bench leagues as we work through the bye weeks.

Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reports that Browns QB Deshaun Watson could miss "multiple more games" with his right rotator cuff contusion. Watson's injury is "more than just a run-of-the-mill bruise," Cabot adds. "It's a deep contusion that presents or functions more like a strain." Cabot said earlier this week that Watson's injury could take "up to six weeks to fully heal." He'll be three weeks removed from the injury on Sunday, so it seems possible that he could miss as many as three more games beyond this week. We'll keep you updated on his status.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (ribs) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was a full participant on Friday. Seattle is just managing this rib injury during the week. Metcalf will be a full-go vs. the Bengals on Sunday.

Saints WR Chris Olave (toe) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. Olave seemed hobbled prior to last week’s game but should be close to 100% for Sunday’s meeting with the Texans.

Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) did not practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. TEs Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau, and Jimmy Graham split routes with Johnson out last week. None can be trusted in Week 6 fantasy lineups.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. It looks like that shoulder injury is just about behind him. Adams remains a must-start for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots.

49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. We’ll see if Mitchell is ready to return as San Francisco’s No. 2 RB, but he shouldn’t be in your Week 6 fantasy plans.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. He sat out on Wednesday but got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Players very rarely miss games with illnesses, so Brown can stay penciled into fantasy lineups for now. We’ll keep you updated on his status.

Cardinals RB Keaontay Ingram (neck) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He'll play vs. the Rams on Sunday for the first time since Week 3. The Cardinals, of course, will be without RB James Conner in that one, leaving the backfield to Ingram, Emari Demercado, and the newly signed Tony Jones. Demercado is the best bet for fantasy production after a solid Week 5 showing, but it's anyone's guess as to exactly how backfield touches will be split here.
