McConkey (hip), who is questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

McConkey remains questionable due to a hip issue, but he appears set to be cleared when the Chargers release their inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The rookie wideout didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday but returned for a limited session Friday. McConkey has received at least seven targets in each of his past three games, and he's tallied between 43 and 67 receiving yards in each contest during that span.

Meyers (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's game versus Kansas City, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Meyers missed the Raiders' past two contests due to an ankle injury, but he appears set to return Sunday against the Chiefs. The 27-year-old will likely function as Las Vegas' top wideout now that Davante Adams is a member of the Jets. Meyers has logged at least nine targets and 49 receiving yards in each of the past three games for which he's been able to suit up.

Hill (foot) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against Arizona, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill has dealt with a foot injury throughout the week and did not practice Friday after logging a limited session Thursday. Despite the end-of-week reduction in participation, the wideout looks like he'll be ready to take on the Cardinals on Sunday. Hill sunk to a season-low one catch for eight yards last week against the Colts, but his outlook is much improved with Sunday's return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who missed Weeks 3 through 7 while recovering from a concussion.

Samuel (illness) remains listed as questionable but is likely to suit up in Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Samuel played only four snaps last Sunday against Kansas City and was hospitalized after the loss due to a bout of pneumonia. He didn't practice Wednesday but finished the week with a pair of limited sessions to set himself up to play Sunday. His ability to take the field against Dallas could be huge for a passing game that will be without Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Jauan Jennings (hip).

Higgins (quadricep) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but he showed improvement Saturday, and the Bengals are "hopeful" that the wideout will be able to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

A report earlier Saturday indicated that Higgins will be a game-time decision Sunday, and while that appears to still be the case, Fowler's report is more optimistic about the receiver's chances of suiting up. The Bengals don't want to risk a long-term injury to Higgins, so it's likely that they'll allow him to play only if he looks good during pregame warmups. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for Cincinnati's inactive list, which will be released about 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Flowers (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Browns, is being viewed as a game-time decision, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Flowers hurt his ankle last Monday against Tampa Bay and managed just one limited practice during the week while sitting out two sessions entirely. Given his minimal practice reps this week, it's no surprise that his status for Sunday's contest likely won't be clarified until 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Ravens release their inactive list. If Flowers can't suit up Sunday, Rashod Bateman will likely take over as Baltimore's No. 1 receiver.

Higgins (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, has "a real chance" of sitting out the Week 8 contest, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins injured his quad during practice Friday, resulting in him taking a designation into the weekend. Graziano notes that the wide receiver will be a game-time decision Sunday, so fantasy managers who roster Higgins should keep an eye on Cincinnati's inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Graziano also shares that there is "pessimism" about Higgins' likelihood of suiting up, and Andrei Iosivas will likely step in as the team's No. 2 wideout if Higgins ends up sitting out.

The Saints elevated St. Brown from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

St. Brown is being elevated from the practice squad for a second straight contest, after he played one offensive snap (no targets) versus Denver in Week 7. He projects to also handle a reserve role Sunday against the Chargers.

The Chargers elevated Reagor from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

Reagor seems like he'll get a chance to handle a depth role in Los Angeles' wide receiver room for a second straight contest due to Quentin Johnston being listed as doubtful for Week 8. The team has also elevated wide receiver Jaylen Johnson from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

The Chargers elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The Chargers also elevated wide receiver Jalen Reagor from the practice squad Saturday. Both Johnson and Reagor could suit up Sunday against New Orleans and handle depth roles in Los Angeles' depleted wide receiver corps,
