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.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. It's a downgrade from last week, when Allen was questionable on the final injury report before winding up inactive. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 4. His absence this weekend adds target upside to WRs D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze. We also saw TE Cole Kmet's routes and targets climb with Allen out last week.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) did not practice on Thursday. That's five straight missed practices for the 32-year-old. He seems unlikely to play against the Colts this weekend, but we'll get another update on Allen's status tomorrow afternoon.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He missed all three practices last week before winding up inactive for the Texans game. Allen's status for Sunday's game vs. the Colts is up in the air. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow.
Bears WR D.J. Moore had a final stat line of six catches on 10 targets for 53 yards against the Texans. He was the preferred target of rookie QB Caleb WIlliams, but it wasn’t enough to give Moore a solid fantasy day due to the lack of consistent accuracy from his QB.
Bears QB Caleb Williams did better than Week 1, but he still struggled completing 23 of his 37 passes for 174 yards and two interceptions. He also ran five times for 44 yards, leading the team in rushing. The Texans blitzed Williams, forcing him into short passes and mistakes throughout the game. Though Keenan Allen was inactive, it has been a rough start for the top pick in the NFL Draft.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Texans. The rookie only got in a limited practice on Friday – but he said the knee is just a pain-tolerance issue. So there’s a chance he’s able to play his usual snapload tonight. Chicago could certainly use him with WR Keenan Allen out.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Texans. HC Matt Eberflus downplayed this heel injury on Wednesday, but it sounds like Allen didn’t progress throughout the week. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 3’s meeting vs. the Colts.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer labeled WR Keenan Allen (heel) as "doubtful" to play vs. the Texans tonight. It's been trending in this direction after Allen missed practice all week. Get him out of Week 2 fantasy lineups. WR Rome Odunze (knee) is seemingly on track to play tonight.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is "tracking to play" vs. the Texans tonight, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's been a speedy recovery for the rookie, who was sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday and limited in Friday's practice. Odunze said Friday that his injury is mostly a pain-tolerance issue. So it's possible that he winds up playing a full slate of snaps tonight. Still, the rookie would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups considering the injury and Chicago's Week 1 struggles on offense.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) "could be used more sparingly than usual" vs. the Texans tonight. That's assuming Allen plays at all. He's a game-time decision and will test that heel injury pre-game, per Schefter. We won't get Chicago's inactives until a little before 7 pm ET, and Allen would be a shaky fantasy play even if he suits up. He should be on Week 2 benches.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Texans. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Fantasy owners still shouldn’t be counting on the rookie in Week 2 fantasy lineups, especially with the late kickoff. But Odunze clearly avoided a significant injury and should at least be back by Week 3.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Texans. HC Matt Eberflus downplayed Allen's injury on Wednesday, but Allen wound up missing all three practices. We'll look for further updates on Allen's Week 2 status. The late kickoff could make it a tricky situation for fantasy owners.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. HC Matt Eberflus downplayed the issue on Wednesday, calling Allen's absence then more of a rest day. But his status will be worth checking on again when we get Chicago's final injury report on Friday afternoon. The Bears, of course, will likely be without WR Rome Odunze (knee) for Sunday night's game vs. the Texans.
Bears WR Rome Odunze avoided a potential long-term knee injury during Week 1. He has been upgraded to day-to-day from week to week. HC Matt Eberflus indicated that it was not a serious injury. Odunze may be able to play in Week 2.
Bears WR Rome Odunze sustained an MCL sprain in Sunday's win over the Titans. He's now week-to-week, according to multiple reports.
Bears WR Rome Odunze came out of Sunday's win over the Titans with a knee injury, HC Matt Eberflus said Monday. Odunze is scheduled for an MRI to get a better look at the damage. Eberflus said there was "a level of concern" regarding the injury, but didn’t give any other details, per insider Scott Bair. We'll update Odunze's status as soon as we know more.
Bears QB Caleb Williams didn't get to 100 passing yards in his debut against the Titans on Sunday. He completed just 14 of 29 attempts (48%) for 93 yards (3.2 YPA), 0 TDs, and 0 INTs. Williams flashed his mobility and arm strength on a few occasions. And WR Keenan Allen dropped a would-be six-yard TD. But Williams missed multiple downfield throws and had a few passes batted down at the line of scrimmage.
Bears Edge Montez Sweat (toe) is active for today's game against the Titans. This seemed likely after he finished the week with a full Friday practice. Go ahead and play Sweat as planned in an upside matchup.
Bears RB Roschon Johnson is a healthy scratch for today's opener vs. the Titans. That leaves RBs D'Andre Swift, Khalil Herbert, and Travis Homer dressed for Chicago. We'll see what the workload split looks like under new OC Shane Waldron, but Swift is the only viable Week 1 fantasy play. We'd expect Johnson to work into the backfield mix if Swift or Herbert miss time this season, but he's droppable in shallow fantasy leagues.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He was a full-go in practice on Friday, when HC Matt Eberflus said Allen looked great. We’re not expecting the heel to be an issue today.
