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 WR Michael Pittman (back) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. With QB Anthony Richardson back under center, though, Pittman is no better than a WR4. He’s finished outside the top 50 WRs in PPR points in four of five games with Richardson this season.
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (knee, rest) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was limited in Thursday’s practice but a full-go on Friday. Jackson remains a must-start for this weekend’s game vs. the Steelers.
Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (hamstring) practiced all week and is not listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s showdown vs. the Steelers. Likely is a low-floor fantasy play, but his return puts a dent in TE Mark Andrews’ playing time and target projections.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions after missing practice all week. His absence makes RB Travis Etienne a more palatable Week 11 fantasy play, although his team is still a 14-point underdog with a week-low 16.5-point implied total. D'Ernest Johnson will be Jacksonville's No. 2 RB in Detroit.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (back) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for more information on Warren and get Pittsburgh’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Najee Harris (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in full practices on Thursday and Friday.
Seahawks TE Noah Fant (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. Rookie TE A.J. Barner replaced Fant as Seattle’s lead TE last time out, posting a 4-27-0 line on seven targets and an 86% route rate. He’d be a desperation season-long play but is a salary-saving option in DFS.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’s ready for a full workload vs. the 49ers on Sunday. Metcalf checks in 14th in the Week 11 WR Rankings.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. His injury reportedly isn’t serious, so we’ll see if he can make it back for Week 12. Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra will handle TE duties for Detroit this weekend. Neither is a reliable fantasy play.
Saints RB Jamaal Williams (groin) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. Jordan Mims will continue to serve as the No. 2 RB, with Taysom Hill also mixing in for rushing work behind Alvin Kamara.
Jets WR Davante Adams (wrist, illness) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Colts. He missed the first two practices of the week but was a full participant on Friday. Interim HC Jeff Ulbrich said Friday morning that Adams is expected to play. He can stay penciled into Week 11 fantasy lineups. We’ll get the Jets’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Bills WR Amari Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs after a limited week of practice. He said Thursday that he expected to play – but would do so with a cast on his injured left wrist. Cooper would be a risky Week 11 fantasy start. WR Keon Coleman (wrist) has been ruled out for Week 11.
Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday, and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll be back for this weekend’s game vs. the Bills and figures to slide back in as Kansas City’s primary slot receiver. Buffalo ranks 13th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs but 28th against slot receivers.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (ribs) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so it doesn’t seem like the rib injury will be a factor. Jones is safe to keep in Week 11 fantasy lineups.
Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd is now sidelined with appendicitis, HC Matt LaFleur said Friday. Lloyd can't catch a break this year. He missed most of August with hip and hamstring injuries and then suffered a significant ankle injury in Week 2. Lloyd just returned to practice this week and seemingly had a shot to be active for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. We'll see how long he'll be out with this latest issue, but it certainly hurts his chances of making a fantasy impact this season.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (Achilles) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited in Friday’s practice. But Mooney is in no danger of missing this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He checks in as a WR3 in that difficult matchup.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco (leg) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills. He returned to practice this week for the first time since going down in mid-September and should have a chance to play vs. the Panthers next week. RB Kareem Hunt gets another game as Kansas City’s workhorse this weekend.
Bengals WR Tee Higgins (quad) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was limited in practice all week but will play against the Chargers on Sunday night. “Felt amazing this week, and I'm ready to go,” he said Friday. Higgins has averaged 9.0 targets, 5.8 catches, 68 yards, and 0.6 TDs over his five games this season. Consider him a high-end WR2 in Week 11 fantasy lineups.
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. He'll get a Week 12 bye to heal up, although we haven't heard an expected timetable for his return. Kincaid's absence this weekend should mean a significant role for TE Dawson Knox against Kansas City's 22nd-ranked TE defense. Knox is a viable Week 11 spot starter.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin caught just one pass for 10 yards in Thursday night's loss to the Eagles. He was invisible for most of the night, drawing just two targets on 32 Jayden Daniels pass attempts. The first fell incomplete on a crosser in the third quarter. McLaurin finally got on the board with a 10-yard grab in the fourth quarter.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels totaled just 191 passing yards with one TD and one INT in Thursday night's loss to the Eagles. He ran seven times for 18 yards. A red-hot Philadelphia defense got consistent pressure on Daniels and erased WR Terry McLaurin. In fact, Commanders WRs combined for just four catches and 28 yards. (Daniels completed 10 passes to RBs and eight to TEs.) Washington also struggled on third downs, converting only three of 12 chances. Daniels' TD went to TE Zach Ertz from five yards out with less than a minute to go.
