Denver Broncos Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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.

Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II is active for today's game against the Steelers. CB Ronald Darby -- who came off IR Saturday -- is inactive.

11:35am EDT 10/10/21

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. He was a game-time decision after rolling his ankle in Friday’s practice. It obviously adds risk to Sutton’s Week 5 fantasy profile.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (ankle) is a game-time decision for today's tilt with the Steelers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Sutton rolled his ankle in Friday's practice, although inside Mike Klis reported that it's "not overly serious." We'll get Sutton's game status around 11:30 am ET.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton injured his ankle in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Already down Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler, Denver would be left with WRs Tim Patrick, Kendall Hinton, David Moore and Diontae Spencer if Sutton is out. Stay tuned for updates on his status.

Broncos D-linemen Dre'Mont Jones (calf) and Shelby Harris (wrist, illness) are active for today's game against the Ravens.

Broncos DL Dre'Mont Jones (calf) and Shelby Harris (wrist, illness) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. We'll check their statuses Sunday afternoon, but neither is a high-profile IDP option.

The Texans on Friday placed LB Zach Cunningham and DL Ross Blacklock on the COVID list. That means neither guy will be available for Sunday's game against the Bills. Cunningham is a big loss for IDP lineups. Expect Kamu Grugier-Hill to start in his place. Christian Kirksey also gets an opportunity boost.

Bills CB Levi Wallace (knee) is active for today's game against Washington.

Jets DE John Franklin-Myers is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a calf injury. He progressed from no practice Wednesday to a limited Thursday and then full participation Friday. We’ll check his status Sunday afternoon.

Bills CB Levi Wallace is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington. He's listed with a knee issue but sandwiched a limited Thursday practice between 2 full workouts this week. We'll update Wallace's status Sunday morning.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (knee) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report. He'll be out there for Sunday's opener vs. the Giants. We haven't heard anything about a snap count for Sutton, but he carries slightly elevated risk in his 1st regular-season action since last September's torn ACL.

Saints TE Adam Trautman isn't listed on the Week 1 injury report. He suffered a foot injury in the 2nd preseason game but is ready for this weekend's regular-season opener vs. the Packers. Trautman is a fine bench stash but shouldn't be in Week 1 fantasy lineups.

Chargers TE Donald Parham played 23 snaps in Saturday night's preseason finale, catching his only target for 5 yards. He missed the 2nd exhibition with a tailbone injury but is good to go for Week 1. Parham will open the season as Los Angeles' #2 TE behind Jared Cook.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton hauled in 2 of 3 targets for 27 yards and a score in Saturday night's preseason finale vs. the Rams. It was Sutton's 1st live action since tearing his ACL last September. He looked good to us -- and ESPN medical expert Stephania Bell noted that Sutton cut well off his surgically repaired knee. His fantasy value is trending up after this outing. Sutton brings plenty of profit potential at a 7th- or 8th-round price tag.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton is expected to play in Saturday's preseason finale vs. the Rams. It'll be his 1st game action since tearing his ACL last September. “I definitely want to be able to go out and play fast and just not think about anything,” Sutton said. “That was one of my biggest things going into camp — I wanted to go build that confidence in myself that my leg is completely fine and I can be who I am at a high level. I think that’s exactly what I want to do Saturday and moving forward with the rest of the season.” We're excited to see how Sutton looks this weekend -- especially after early-August reports that he was hesitant on that knee.

Jets QB Zach Wilson has made big strides from spring workouts to now, The Athletic's Connor Hughes writes. "He has a much firmer understanding of the playbook and is much more comfortable within this scheme," Hughes says. "That’s allowing his athleticism and passing ability to shine." Wilson has looked good this preseason, especially when completing 9 of 11 passes for 128 yards and 2 scores vs. the Packers last week. (And he did that without WR Elijah Moore.). Wilson certainly looks capable of emerging as a spot-start fantasy option as a rookie.

The "initial belief" is that Saints TE Adam Trautman will be out 1-3 weeks with his foot injury, according to insider Nick Underhill. Trautman is visiting a foot specialist on Thursday to get another opinion. We'll look for further updates. But, for now, it looks like Trautman has a chance to be ready for Week 1 and will miss a couple of games at worst.

Saints TE Adam Trautman avoided a "major injury" to his foot or ankle, according to insider Nick Underhill. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds that the Saints are still seeking additional medical opinions on Trautman's situation. So he's not out of the woods yet, but it's good news so far. We'll continue to keep you updated.

Saints TE Adam Trautman will get an MRI on the foot he injured in Monday night's preseason game vs. the Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. X-rays on the foot came back clean. We'll continue to keep you updated on Trautman's status, but we'd avoid him in fantasy drafts until we know more.

Saints TE Adam Trautman went to the locker room on a cart during Monday night's preseason game. He had been getting checked for a foot or ankle injury in the sideline tent before riding to the locker room. We'll keep an eye on this situation. According to Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke, TE Nick Vannett saw his playing time increase after Trautman's departure while TE Juwan Johnson's role appeared unchanged.
