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.

The Texans have activated WR Nico Collins (hamstring) from IR. He’s on track to play tomorrow night vs. Detroit. Out since Week 5, the fourth-year pro can be plugged back into fantasy lineups as a WR1.

The Chargers have activated RB Gus Edwards (ankle) from IR. He last played back in Week 4. Given his early-season struggles – and a lack of passing-game involvement – Edwards isn’t someone we’d rush out to add.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is “planning” to undergo surgery on his hamstring, “pending the opinion of one final specialist.” We’ll let you know when the official word comes down, but this one appears pretty clear. Per Schefter, "the Cowboys believe it is better to address the injury now than to let it heal on its own and encounter complications later." Cooper Rush figures to start in the short term, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Dallas opts to start Trey Lance at some point. Rush sits deep in QB2 territory in our Week 10 QB rankings.

Texans WR Tank Dell (back) is expected to play vs. the Lions on Sunday night, according to insider Aaron Wilson. Dell was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. He's officially listed as questionable. But, barring a different report on his status, Dell can stay in Week 10 fantasy lineups. We still don't have word on WR Nico Collins' status for Sunday night, but Wilson writes that the Texans "have prepared all week to go without him."

The Saints are expected to place WR Chris Olave on IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That would obviously mean at least four games down for Olave following his fifth career concussion. But he also might not play again this season.

Cardinals S Jalen Thompson is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. Thompson sustained an ankle injury in Thursday's practice and then missed Friday's workout. We'll watch for updates on his status through the weekend. If Thompson can't go, rookie Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would fill in.

Bengals HC Zac Taylor said Friday that WR Tee Higgins (quad) was "close" to playing vs. the Ravens on Thursday night. "You have to be very careful with a quad injury. I think he’s progressing along well," Taylor added. It sounds like Higgins has a reasonable chance to make it back for Week 11's game against the Chargers. We'll keep tabs on his status when the Bengals get back to work next week.

The Bucs removed WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring, hip) from the final injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but is evidently good to go for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Shepard has seen five targets in each of the last two games, posting 3-18-0 and 4-48-0 lines. He's an unexciting fantasy option.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday with a wrist injury. It's a new issue for Hill, who dealt with a foot injury last month. We'll look for further updates on his status for Monday night's game vs. the Rams and see how he's listed on Saturday's final injury report.

Rams WR Demarcus Robinson (toe, hip) returned to a limited practice on Friday after sitting out Thursday. He should be fine for Monday night’s game vs. the Dolphins, but we’ll see how he’s listed on the final injury report on Saturday afternoon.

The Texans have ruled Edge Will Anderson Jr. out for Sunday night's game against the Lions with an ankle injury. Anderson didn't practice at all this week. We'll see about his viability for Week 11, but you should plan as though he won't be available.

Jets TE Tyler Conklin (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He was added to the injury report on Friday but was a full-go in practice. We’ll look for more info on his status, but Conklin was a weak fantasy play to begin with. He’s totaled just 10 targets over his last three games.

49ers K Jake Moody (ankle) is off the final Week 10 injury report and will be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. San Francisco is rocking a 28.5-point implied total for that one – second highest on the week – making Moody a nice fantasy option.

Buccaneers WRs Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Sterling Shepard (hamstring, hip) are listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. Both guys only got in limited practices on Friday. Try to avoid Bucs WRs in Week 10 fantasy lineups.

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (toe) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it looks like he’s dealing with a legitimate injury. But Mayfield never seemed in danger of missing Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. We’re not considering the toe injury a major factor.

The Lions are listing Edge Za'Darius Smith as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Texans. The team reportedly gave Smith two days off after his trade from Cleveland this week. He was listed as a full practice participant Friday but is understandably still learning the defense.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and will play vs. the Buccaneers on Sunday. That’ll be the first game we see Jennings and WR Ricky Pearsall together. It’s uncertain how snaps and targets will be divvied between those two, leaving them both as risk/reward Week 10 fantasy plays.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. We haven’t heard anything to suggest that Samuel won’t be ready for that one, but we’ll keep you updated on his status.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game against the Buccaneers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. HC Kyle Shanahan said again on Friday that McCaffrey is fully expected to play against Tampa Bay. We’ll keep an eye out for any reports on his expected workload in his 2024 debut. But unless we hear that his touches will be very limited, McCaffrey belongs in Week 10 fantasy lineups. RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) is off the final injury report and will also play vs. the Bucs.

The Cowboys are placing QB Dak Prescott on IR with his hamstring injury, EVP Stephen Jones said Friday. That knocks Prescott out for at least the next four games. But the Fort Worth Star-Telegram hears that "the expected timeline is expected to trend closer to six weeks or more." The earliest Prescott could return is Week 14. A 6-week absence would have him out until Week 16. Dallas' season could be over for all intents and purposes at that point. Prescott is very droppable in 1-QB leagues without an IR spot.
