Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

With one limited practice (Friday) under his belt this week, Meyers' availability for Week 6 action won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up Sunday, he'll continue to serve as the Raiders' No. 1 WR with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined for a third straight game. On the first two occasions, Meyers recorded 11 catches (on 19 targets) for 121 yards and no touchdowns, while Tre Tucker (7-59-0 on 11 targets) was a distant second in terms of usage. Las Vegas made a change under center this week from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O'Connell, so there could be some jostling in terms of target share between an active Meyers and Tucker moving forward.

Adams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Adams is in the midst of his recovery from a hamstring injury, which will force a third straight absence this weekend. Along the way, he made a trade request to the Raiders, who seem to be willing to move on from the 11-year pro. Interested parties are waiting on Adams to get back to full health before committing resources (likely draft capital) for the veteran wide receiver, so his next chance for game action, wherever that may be, will occur Week 7, at the earliest.

Bourne (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

Given that Bourne was on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4 as he bounced back from a knee injury he sustained Oct. 29, 2023, it's not surprising that the Patriots are easing the wideout back into the mix. We'd expect Bourne to be available to face Houston on Sunday, with confirmation of his status set to arrive once New England's inactives are known ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. After logging a 27 percent snap share in his season debut versus Miami in Week 5, Bourne could see an uptick in playing time in QB Drake Maye's first NFL regular-season start, but until the veteran pass catcher gets a full and productive game in, he's a speculative fantasy option.

Harty (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington.

Harty's logged back-to-back full practices, but he still holds a questionable status as the Ravens prepare to take on a powerful Commanders squad. The return specialist missed last week's matchup against the Bengals but will look to be cleared to play Sunday morning.

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Johnson played just five total snaps (four offensive and one on special teams) before exiting the Bucs' Week 5 loss to the Falcons with an ankle injury. He downgraded from limited work Wednesday to a DNP both Thursday and Friday, making it no surprise that he's sitting out Week 6. Expect Sterling Shepard and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) to see increased work in Tampa Bay's wide receiver room in Johnson's stead.

Osborn (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.

Osborn's questionable after a trio of limited practices. If he suits up, he'll be catching passes from rookie third overall pick Drake Maye, who has supplanted Jacoby Brissett as New England's starting quarterback.

McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

An upgrade to full practice participation Friday suggests McMillan is more likely than not to suit up for the first time since Week 3. He won the No. 3 receiver job this summer and made a couple nice plays over the first two weeks, but it hasn't been a high-volume role, regardless of whether McMillan, Trey Palmer (concussion) or Sterling Shepard is the one filling it.

Brown (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Brown emerged as Washington's No. 2 receiver prior to missing Week 5 with a groin injury, catching exactly three passes in each game Weeks 2-4. It's not likely to be a high-volume role, but the Commanders may be inclined to pass more than usual this weekend, facing a tough Baltimore run defense with RB Brian Robinson (knee) in danger of missing the game. Even so, Brown's volume is hard to project due to the possibility of sharing playing time with Olamide Zaccheaus and/or Dyami Brown.

Woods (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Woods will sit out after being unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. Houston's also missing Nico Collins (hamstring), so Xavier Hutchinson will join Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell in three-wide sets.

Pittman (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after returning to a full practice Friday.

Despite reports that Pittman could miss multiple weeks, the wideout has a chance to suit up this weekend after all. Per Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site, Pittman noted Friday "everything is still on the table" in terms of his availability for Week 6 action. Also listed as questionable after practicing fully Friday is Josh Downs (toe), with the duo's status versus Tennessee thus slated to be confirmed when the Colts' inactives are announced ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
