New York Giants 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.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (hamstring) is officially active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He was designated to return from IR and practiced this week. NFL Network reported this morning that Waller will be a “full go” in this one. Consider him a low-end, risk/reward TE1 in his first action since Week 5.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (hamstring) and WR Hunter Renfrow (oblique) will be "full go" against the Patriots today, according to NFL Network. Both guys were designated to return from IR and returned to practice this week. Renfrow hasn't done enough in his 6 games this season to be an attractive fantasy play. Waller is worth considering as a lower-end TE1 with upside.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (hamstring) has been activated and is now eligible to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday. He's been out since Week 5 with a lingering hamstring injury. Waller averaged 6.0 targets, 4.0 catches, 44 yards and .3 TDs over the first 4 weeks of the season, ranking 12th among TEs in half-PPR points during that stretch. Consider him a low-end, risk/reward TE1 in Week 15 fantasy lineups.

Broncos QB Russell Wilson (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. HC Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Wilson has actually been medically cleared, but the team is holding him out as a precaution. QB Brett Rypien will make his 2nd start of the season this weekend.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (rib) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Commanders. We’ll see if he guts it out for this big game, but Bellinger isn’t a recommended fantasy play.

Broncos QB Russell Wilson was limited in practice on Thursday. This marks an improvement from yesterday, when Wilson was sidelined. We’ll continue to track his progress through the concussion protocol. If active, he’ll profile as a QB2 against Arizona. Denver’s currently implied for only 19.5 points.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (rib) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to gut it out vs. the Commanders on Sunday night, but we'll see how the rookie progresses over the next few days.

Broncos QB Russell Wilson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's looking unlikely to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals, which would leave Brett Rypien under center.

The Raiders designated TE Darren Waller (hamstring) and WR Hunter Renfrow (oblique) to return from IR. Both guys will return to practice this week and are eligible to be activated for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. Waller averaged 6.0 targets, 4.0 catches, 44 yards and .3 TDs over the first 4 weeks of the season, ranking 12th among TEs in half-PPR points during that stretch. Renfrow has played in 6 games so far this season and averaged 4.8 targets, 3.5 catches, 32 yards and 0 TDs. His half-PPR scoring average in those games lands him 102nd among WRs. We wouldn't use Renfrow in Week 15 fantasy lineups. Waller will be a risk/reward, low-end TE1 if he plays this weekend.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger's injured ribs are "pretty sore," HC Brian Daboll said Monday. We didn't get an official diagnosis on Bellinger, but ESPN's Jordan Raanan says it "didn’t sound great for him." We'll see if Bellinger can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Commanders, but he probably shouldn't be in your Week 15 fantasy plans at this point.

Before a concussion knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, Broncos QB Russell Wilson threw for 247 yards and 3 TDs. That marked the 1st time this year he had thrown more than 2 TD passes and just the 2nd time he had tallied more than 1. Wilson reached 20 fantasy points for just the 2nd time all year, adding 57 yards on the ground. We'll see how soon he can make it back from the concussion, but the injury and string of terrible fantasy outings before Sunday makes him tough to pay any attention to in 1-QB fantasy football formats.

Broncos QB Russell Wilson exited early in the 4th quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs to be checked for a concussion. QB Brett Rypien has replaced him. We'll update Wilson's status when we know more.

Update: Wilson has been ruled out with a concussion.

Bills RBs totaled just 13 rushing attempts in Sunday's win over the Jets. Devin Singletary led with 8 carries for 39 yards. Rookie James Cook added 4 carries for just 6 yards. Nyheim Hines claimed the other, gaining 3 yards. The trio also combined for just 4 targets. Singletary led there as well, catching 1 of his 2 looks for 4 yards. Cook caught his long target for 9 yards. Hines caught his only opportunity for 4 yards. It'll be tough to like any of these RBs in the Week 15 matchup with the Dolphins.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Eagles with a rib injury. He took a big hit in the 1st half and was clearly struggling. We'll update on his status when we know more.

Update: Bellinger has been ruled out.

Giants rookie TE Daniel Bellinger saw his 1st game action Sunday since a Week 7 fracture to the orbital bone around his left eye. He caught 5 balls for 24 yards against the Commanders, tying for 2nd on the team in receptions. Bellinger jumped back into a full-time role, trailing only QB Daniel Jones in snaps played among skill-position players and ranking 3rd on the team in routes. That makes Bellinger worth a look in deeper PPR leagues going forward. His best matchups sit in weeks 16 (Minnesota) and 17 (Indianapolis).

Giants WR Darius Slayton led the team in targets (8), catches (6) and receiving yards (90) in Sunday's tie with he Commanders. He accounted for shares of 25.8%, 24% and 45% in those 3 categories. WR Isaiah Hodgins claimed the team's only TD reception. Slayton gets a tough draw against the Eagles' pass defense in Week 14.

Broncos TE Greg Dulcich led the team in targets (8), catches (6) and receiving yards (85) in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. He accounted for more than one-third of Denver's totals in each category, in a game that saw QB Russell Wilson go just 17-of-20 passing for 189 yards. WR Jerry Jeudy and RB Latavius Murray tied for 2nd in targets (4) and receptions (4). WR Courtland Sutton left early with a hamstring injury, drawing just 1 target before his departure.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (eye) is active for today’s game vs. the Commanders. We’ll see if the rookie steps back in as New York’s clear lead TE, but he can’t be trusted in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 7. TE Lawrence Cager is a healthy scratch.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Commanders. He didn't practice on Thursday or Friday, adding some risk to his Week 13 fantasy profile. WR Kenny Golladay (illness) is inactive.

Giants WR Darius Slayton (illness) is expected to play vs. the Commanders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Slayton was sidelined on Thursday and Friday with this illness, which adds a bit of risk to his Week 13 fantasy outlook.
