  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Back in action Sunday

    McMillan (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    McMillan thus is back in action after he sat out last Monday's overtime loss in Kansas City due to a hamstring that he tweaked three days before then. He logged just one limited session during Week 10 prep, but it was enough to clear him for Sunday's game. The Buccaneers don't have Mike Evans (hamstring) or Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) available, so McMillan is among the wide receivers active along with Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard, Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway.

  • Mike Williams WR | LAC

    Steelers' Mike Williams: Set for Steelers debut

    Williams is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Williams was acquired by the Steelers on Tuesday prior to the trade deadline, so there was some question of whether he'd be ready to suit up for his new team. Per Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Williams may not see a full complement of snaps, so he may not make much of a statistical impact in his debut with Pittsburgh.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | SF

    49ers' Deebo Samuel: Suiting up in Week 10

    Samuel (rib/oblique) is active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Samuel sustained oblique and rib strains in the 49ers' last game Sunday, Oct. 27 against the Cowboys, and following a Week 9 bye, he was able to string together three consecutive limited practices, receiving a questionable tag for Week 10 in the process. Overnight Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Samuel was expected to play Sunday, which has come to pass. Samuel will be welcoming back premier running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) for the first time this season, a scenario that may open up the entire offense for San Francisco. In seven appearances without McCaffrey this season, Samuel has averaged 6.7 touches for 67.4 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring two total TDs.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Bills' Amari Cooper: Inactive Sunday

    Cooper (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Since the Bills began their Week 9 prep, Cooper -- who was also inactive last weekend -- has logged six straight limited practices. With his second straight absence confirmed and Keon Coleman (wrist) having been previously ruled out, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel are in line to lead Buffalo's Week 10 wideout corps, with Jalen Virgil and Tyrell Shavers also available to mix in. Cooper's next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 17 against the Chiefs.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Will play vs. Saints

    London (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he "felt good" about London's chances of playing in Week 10, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday afternoon that the wideout was expected to suit up despite his questionable designation, so this doesn't come as a major surprise. With Marshon Lattimore traded to Washington this week, the Saints' secondary will be without one of its top players over the last decade. London has topped 100 receiving yards in only one game this season, but he has six touchdowns through nine appearances.

  • Amari Cooper WR | LV

    Bills' Amari Cooper: Not slated to play Sunday

    Cooper (wrist) is not in line to play Sunday against the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Cooper is listed as questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion this week. Official confirmation of his Week 10 status will arrive once the Bills' inactives are posted, but per Schefter, the wideout is slated to miss his second straight game.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Likely to suit up Sunday

    McMillan (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    McMillan managed just one limited session during Week 10 prep due to the hamstring injury that kept him out last Monday at Kansas City, but he isn't in line to be included on the Buccaneers' inactive list this time around. With Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) still sidelined, McMillan should join Trey Palmer, Sterling Shepard and Ryan Miller as the top wide receivers available to QB Baker Mayfield.

  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Eyeing return after Week 11 bye

    Evans (hamstring) said that he's optimistic that he'll be available to play Week 12 against the Giants on Nov. 24 following Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. "Obviously, everybody knows the competitor that I am, and they know I want to be out there with my team and help us win ballgames," Evans said. "But I can't rush it, and I'll be back when I'm back, and hopefully that'll be after the bye week and I'll be myself."

    Evans strained his right hamstring in an Oct. 21 loss to the Ravens and will miss his third game in a row Sunday against the 49ers, though he suggested that it "would have been close" for him to play this weekend if he had rehabbed the injury more aggressively. Instead, the Buccaneers elected to take a more cautious approach with Evans, who should be tracking toward a return if he's able to resume practicing in Week 12 without any setbacks. While both Evans and Chris Godwin (ankle) have been sidelined for the past two contests, tight end Cade Otton has emerged as more of a focal point in the passing game with 21 targets between those two games.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Looks like game-time call for Week 10

    Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable and appears to be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup with the Rams, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Hill received a designation for the Week 10 contest after he was listed as a non-participant in practices Friday and Saturday. Though Hill first injured the wrist in training camp and has been playing through the issue over the Dolphins' first eight games of the season, he reportedly tweaked the wrist again this week. Pelissero notes that Hill traveled with the Dolphins to Los Angeles in advance of Monday's contest, but the team may wait and see how he's feeling during pregame warmups before making a call on his status. With Monday's contest marking the last game of the Week 10 slate, fantasy managers could find themselves with no alternatives in the event that Hill's wrist injury results in him being inactive against the Rams.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Viewed as game-time call

    Collins (hamstring) remains listed as questionable and is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Shortly after Houston reinstated Collins from injured reserve Saturday, Rapoport reported that the receiver was on track to return to action Sunday following a four-game absence, but his status appears to be more uncertain leading up to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Though the Texans added Collins back to the 53-man roster after he spent the minimum amount of time on IR, he didn't resume practicing until Friday, when he was a limited participant in the team's final session of the week. Official word on the availability (or lack thereof) of both Collins and fellow starting receiver Tank Dell (back) -- who is listed as questionable but expected to play -- won't be provided until Houston releases its inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff, so fantasy managers planning on using Collins this week may not have many appealing alternatives available if he ends up sitting out Sunday. If Collins end up playing against Detroit, he could still face some restrictions with his snap count, given his limited practice time leading up to the contest.
