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 QB Bo Nix only threw for 130 yards but did toss three TDs and three INTs in the Broncos win. He completed 20-of-33 passes. He was also the Broncos' leading rusher, running eight times for 23 yards.

Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Colts with a quad injury. McLaughlin was leading Denver RBs with seven carries and 21 rushing yards when he exited. His absence leaves the backfield to Javonte Williams and Audric Estime.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson announced Friday that TE Evan Engram will have season-ending surgery to fix a torn shoulder labrum. That should mean Brenton Strange leads Jacksonville TE opportunities over the final four games.

Niners LB Dre Greenlaw is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Rams after putting in a full practice Wednesday. It was merely a walkthrough, but also the first time Greenlaw has been listed as a full participant since returning to practice ahead of the Week 13 game. Edge Nick Bosa is also questionable after returning to a limited practice Wednesday. San Francisco also ruled out rookie S Malik Mustapha.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Doug Pederson said he expects Engram to play vs. the Jets this weekend, although Pederson has been unreliable when it comes to injuries. We'll see if Engram gets back on the practice field tomorrow.

The 49ers expect to get LB Dre Greenlaw back for the Week 15 game against the Rams. He has put in limited practices each day of the past two weeks but was still ruled out for this Sunday's game against the Bears. Greenlaw, of course, has yet to play this season because he's recovering from the Achilles' rupture he suffered in the Super Bowl.

The 49ers have activated S Talanoa Hufanga from IR. He put in limited practices all week and is officially questionable. But Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area on Friday called him "set to return" for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Broncos S Brandon Jones is inactive for today's game against the Falcons.

Broncos HC Sean Payton said Monday that RB Audric Estime will get more work going forward. We got a similar report from CBS' Tracy Wolfson on Sunday morning. Estime finished the loss to the Ravens with five carries -- and those all came in the fourth quarter.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram drew a team-high 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That marked a 33.3% share of Trevor Lawrence's targeted throws. He caught five for 45 yards, each of which also led the team on a sluggish passing day for the Jags.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton had 10 targets against the Ravens, catching seven for 122 yards. He also threw a TD pass to QB Bo Nix. Despite the performance, the Broncos were crushed 41-10 by the Ravens.

Broncos QB Bo Nix had a disappointing day throwing for 223 yards and an interception with no passing TDs. He did catch a TD pass from WR Courtland Sutton in the game, but was unable to take advantage of a soft Ravens defense.

CBS' Tracy Wolfson reports that Broncos RB Audric Estime is expected to be more involved in today's game vs. the Ravens. The rookie has just 10 carries across four games this season, so "more involved" is a low bar to clear. Estime isn't a viable Week 9 fantasy play. But this report is another reason to shy away from RB Javonte Williams today against Baltimore's eighth-ranked RB defense.

Broncos CB Pat Surtain II left Sunday's game agains the Chargers with a concussion. He entered the week outside the top 70 DBs in fantasy points per game, so there's not much IDP impact here. But missing their lead corner obviously hurts a Denver team D that has ranked among the best in fantasy so far. His absence would help Saints WRs in their Week 7 matchup if Surtain remains out. Of course, Chris Olave sustained a concussion Sunday as well. We'll see about both situations as the week goes on.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram returned from a hamstring injury to post 10 catches for 102 yards in Week 6. His target share was a healthy 28.5%.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. It’ll be his first action since hurting his hamstring in pre-game warmups ahead of Week 2. Engram was limited in practice all this week. He comes with elevated risk but is still probably worth using for many fantasy teams. See where Engrams sits in the Week 6 TE Rankings.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Bears after a limited week of practice. HC Doug Pederson has sounded more optimistic about Engram’s availability this week than last, so we’re tentatively expecting him to play. We’ll get Jacksonville’s inactives around 8 am ET on Sunday.

Broncos RB Audric Estime (ankle) has been activated from IR and put in a full practice on Wednesday. It looks like he'll be available for this weekend's game vs. the Chargers. Estime lost a fumble and then hurt his ankle in the opener, so we wouldn't expect him to have a significant role in the short term. We'll see if the rookie can work his way into Denver's backfield rotation.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) remained limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all three days last week before missing the Colts game. HC Doug Pederson was optimistic about Engram's chances of playing vs. the Bears this weekend when asked on Wednesday, although he stopped short of guaranteeing that Engram will be out there. We'll keep tabs on his status over the next few days.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He got in three limited practices this week, so he should be back for Week 6. TE Brenton Strange gets another start today but would be a desperation fantasy play. He's averaged 4.7 targets, 2.7 catches, and 32 yards over the past three games.
