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.
Jets TE Tyler Conklin (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Try to avoid Conklin in Week 18 fantasy lineups.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce are inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. RB Kareem Hunt is active but unlikely to play much, if at all.
Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the 49ers. That figures to mean more snaps for WR Zay Jones, but he should not be in fantasy lineups.
49ers TE George Kittle (ankle, hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He only got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday but is evidently healthy enough to play in this meaningless game.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so the knee shouldn’t be a major issue. But Waddle is a shaky WR3 with QB Tyler Huntley under center.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He should play a full slate of snaps in this must-win game. QB Tyler Huntley is a downgrade from QB Tua Tagovailoa, but Hill posted a 9-105-0 line with Huntley last week.
Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jets. QB Tyler Huntley gets his second straight start and is on the radar in superflex leagues and DFS tournaments. He threw for 225 and a score last week, adding another 52 yards and a TD on the ground.
Packers QB Jordan Love injured his right elbow in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's officially questionable to return. Don't expect to see him back out there with Green Bay already in the postseason. We'll see if this injury might impact Love's availability for next week's playoff opener.
Packers WR Christian Watson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bears with a knee injury. It's likely an aggravation of the injury he suffered in Week 16 that cost him Week 17. It puts Watson's availability for next week's playoff opener in question.
Titans TE Chig Okonwko is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Texans with an abdomen injury. It's presumably an aggravation of the issue that had him questionable heading in. We'll update Okonkwo's status when we know more.
Commanders DB Quan Martin is inactive for today's game against the Cowboys. He was a very late addition to the injury report (late Sunday morning) with an illness.
Texans Edge Will Anderson Jr. and LB Christian Harris are inactive for today's game against the Titans. Harris was questionable with an ankle issue, but Anderson practiced in full all week. His deactivation at the least could signal a bit about Houston's plan in a game it doesn't need to win. Most other defensive starters are available, but there will be risk to any of them in IDP lineups.
Cowboys QB Trey Lance is expected to start today's game vs. the Commanders, according to multiple reports. It's not a big surprise after NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Friday that Lance was in line to get "significant" reps in this one. It's still unclear whether Lance will play the entire game or split snaps with QB Cooper Rush. Avoid the situation in Week 18 fantasy lineups. The news helps the Commanders' DST.
Panthers RB Miles Sanders (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. It’ll be his first action since Week 10, so don’t expect workhorse usage. But we are projecting Sanders to lead the backfield in touches, ahead of Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone.
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip, wrist) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He played through these injuries last week, posting a 5-28-0 line on a 71% route rate. Legette checks in as a low-end WR3 in the Week 18 Rankings.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. It’s a significant loss. Mooney ranks second among Falcons in targets, catches, receiving yards, and receiving TDs. WR KhaDarel Hodge figures to pick up most of Mooney’s snaps today but would be a desperation fantasy start. WRs Drake London and Ray-Ray McCloud and TE Kyle Pitts could also get target boosts.
Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Cowboys. It’s unclear how big a role he’ll be ready for in his first action since Week 12. Ekeler would be a risky fantasy play this week.
Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so we don’t expect him to play a full slate of snaps. Watson would be a very risky Week 18 fantasy start. WR Romeo Doubs (illness) is inactive, which should keep WR Dontayvion Wicks in a full-time role.
Patriots QB Drake Maye (right hand) is active for today’s game vs. the Bills. We don’t expect the hand to be an issue today, but we could see Maye get pulled for fellow rookie QB Joe Milton at some point in this one. New England locks up the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft with a loss.
Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Bills. That’d typically mean a bump in playing time for TE Austin Hooper, but New England might want to get a longer look at rookie TE Jaheim Bell in this meaningless game.
