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.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that TE George Kittle came out of the win over the Bucs with "hamstring irritation." Shanahan added, "so we’ll see how the week goes with him, and how he feels on Wednesday." We'll keep you updated on Kittle's status throughout the week. There's not another TE in San Francisco worth adding to fantasy rosters.

Chargers Edge Khalil Mack was active for Sunday's win over the Titans ... but only barely. He managed just 4 snaps after entering the contest questionable with a groin injury.

Jerry Jones confirmed on his weekly radio spot Tuesday that QB Dak Prescott will have season-ending surgery on his injured hamstring Wednesday.

The Bears are firing OC Shane Waldron, according to multiple reports. He'll be replaced by passing-game coordinator Thomas Brown.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist) will be active for tonight's game vs. the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hill was reportedly a true game-time decision for this one after missing practice on Friday and Saturday. But he looked "fully healthy" in pregame warmups, per NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti. Hill certainly comes with a lower floor than usual tonight. But if you were waiting on him, get him into fantasy lineups.

HC Sean McDermott announced Monday that the Bills are opening the 21-day practice window for LB Matt Milano. The veteran tore his left biceps in August. Buffalo will now have three weeks to decide whether to activate him or end his season.

Chargers RB Gus Edwards (ankle) rushed 10 times for 55 yards in his first game action since Week 4. He was out-snapped by J.K. Dobbins, 39-14, and out-carried by 5.

Bills HC Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that WR Keon Coleman won't play Sunday against the Chiefs. That'll be the second straight missed game for Coleman. We'll see about his status on the other side of the Week 12 bye. ESPN's Adam Schefter added that WR Amari Cooper "is progressing." We'll see about Cooper's status as the week goes.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is expected to be designated to return and practice this week, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Lloyd has been dealing with injuries since the summer and has played just 10 snaps so far this season. If the rookie can get and stay healthy, he still has a chance to ascend to the No. 2 spot on Green Bay's depth chart, but he has work to do to get there. For now, Lloyd is only worth stashing in deep fantasy leagues.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor labeled WR Tee Higgins (quad) "day to day." Higgins participated in Monday's walkthrough, although Taylor said not to read too much into that. Still, between today's news and Taylor previously saying Higgins was close to playing in Thursday night's game vs. the Ravens, it looks like Higgins is nearing a return. We're tentatively projecting him to play vs. the Chargers on Sunday but will keep you updated on his status throughout the week.

ESPN's Brady Henderson reports that the Seahawks will be releasing LB Tyrel Dodson. The veteran has started all nine Seattle games this season and come off the field for just 10 total snaps. But he also ranks 70th in Pro Football Focus run-defense grade among 78 LBs who have played at least 200 snaps. Dodson has fared much better in coverage (10th). But the Seahawks apparently either disagree or don't care.

Titans RB Tony Pollard split touches with Tyjae Spears in a Week 10 loss to the Chargers. Pollard rushed 9 times for 44 yards, adding 4 catches on 4 targets. Spears gathered 47 yards on 7 carries and caught 3 of 4 targets for 4 yards.

Titans WR Calvin Ridley delivered 5 catches, 84 yards, and 2 TDs in a Week 10 loss to the Chargers. The veteran drew a 39% target share in Will Levis’ first game back from a shoulder injury.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he expects RB Aaron Jones (ribs) to be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. Jones missed most of the second half of the Week 10 win over the Jaguars but was able to return late in the fourth quarter. He'll likely be limited in practice this week, but he can stay penciled into Week 11 fantasy lineups for now.

Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown left Sunday's loss to the Eagles with a right knee injury. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's merely bursitis and not believed to be serious.

Browns HC Kevin Stefansk said Monday that QB Jameis Winston remains the team's starter "for the duration." That plan could change, of course, depending on Winston's play. But he'll at least start this weekend's game vs. the Saints.

QB C.J. Stroud helped stake the Texans to a 23-7 first-half lead Sunday night against the Lions but wound up struggling -- predictably -- the rest of the way. He threw for 164 yards and a TD on 14-of-20 passing in the first half, finding WR John Metchie in the end zone late in the second quarter. But Stroud went just 6 for 13 after the break, for 68 yards and a pair of INTs.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta was knocked out of Sunday night's game vs. the Texans with a shoulder injury. HC Dan Campbell said afterward that LaPorta is believed to be dealing with an AC joint sprain but will undergo more testing on Monday. "It’s not something like he’s gonna be out four weeks. It’s like, maybe he’ll miss this week, we’ll see," Campbell added. We should get another update on LaPorta's status within the next 24 hours.

Lions WR Jameson Williams ranked second on the team in pass routes, third in targets, and tied for second in receptions in Sunday's win over the Texans. He tallied 3 receptions for 53 yards on 5 targets.
