Derius Davis WR | LAC
Chargers' Derius Davis: Questionable for Week 4
Davis (hamstring) is considered questionable to play in Sunday's contest against Kansas City.
Davis opened the week as a limited participant at practice with a hamstring injury before failing to participate at the team's final two sessions of the week. The wide receiver appears to be unlikely to play in Week 4, though the questionable tag leaves the door open for him to give it a go Sunday.

Kameron Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Tagged as questionable
Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles after being limited in Friday's practice.
Johnson was held out for Week 3 against the Broncos due to an ankle injury he sustained during practice leading up to that game. He was unable to practice Wednesday, but he was able to participate in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday to give himself a shot at playing Sunday. If Johnson can't play in Week 4, Trey Palmer would figure to serve as the primary punt returner, while the Bucs could call up a wide receiver like Sterling Shepard from the practice squad.

A.T. Perry WR | PIT
Saints' A.T. Perry: Ruled out for Week 4
Perry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Perry suffered a hamstring injury at practice this week, ultimately sitting out the team's final two sessions before being ruled out. With Chris Olave (hamstring) and Alvin Kamara (ribs) also considered questionable to play, Rashid Shaheed and Taysom Hill stick out as two playmakers who'd potentially step into larger roles.

Keenan Allen WR | LAC
Bears' Keenan Allen: Expected to play
The Bears expect Allen to play Sunday against the Rams, and the wideout said he doesn't think his heel injury will continue bothering him this year, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Allen is listed as questionable after missing the past two games, but an upgrade to full practice participation Friday suggests he might be closer to 'probable' if the designation still existed. His optimism about any lingering hinderance shouldn't necessarily be shared by fantasy managers, considering Allen dealt with a similar problem in his heel/foot late last season and has been bothered by the current injury through most of August and September. He drew 11 targets in the season opener, but the Bears may consider scaling back his workload -- both in terms of snaps and targets -- if they're worried about Allen aggravating his heel injury and missing additional time. It sounds like only a late setback would land him on the inactive list ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Tre Tucker WR | LV
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Expected to start in Week 4
Tucker is expected to take on a starting role in Sunday's game against the Browns after Davante Adams (hamstring) was ruled out, Levi Damien of USA Today reports.
Tucker is coming off a big game last week against Carolina in which he logged a 7-96-1 line on nine targets with the Raiders chasing points all afternoon. The second-year wideout now will have a chance to build on that performance as the likely No. 1 downfield option on the outside with Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers working the middle of the field. Tucker has shown his ceiling, but he also has a scary-low floor for fantasy purposes.

Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Cleared to play
Harrison (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Coach Jonathan Gannon said he wasn't worried about the injury, and it appears his assessment was correct after Harrison upgraded to full practice participation Friday and avoided a designation on the final injury report. The rookie ranks third in the league with 368 air yards, following a 4-130-1 receiving line Week 2 and a 5-64-1 line Week 3. Harrison will now take aim at a Washington defense that's given up the most fantasy points to QBs and WRs, with Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Malik Nabers and Ja'Marr Chase all having topped 20 PPR points when they faced the Commanders

Malik Washington WR | MIA
Dolphins' Malik Washington: Limited again Friday
Washington (quadriceps) remained limited in Friday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The sixth-round rookie wideout has yet to play in a regular-season game for Miami, as he's dealt with the quad issue since the practice week leading up to Week 1.

Jamison Crowder WR | WAS
Commanders' Jamison Crowder: Won't face Arizona
Crowder (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
The veteran slot wideout has played a total of 12 offensive snaps through two appearances with Washington. He was the Commanders' WR5 last Monday night in Cincinnati, playing behind Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey, Noah Brown and Dyami Brown.

Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
49ers' Deebo Samuel: Listed as questionable
Samuel (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New England, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Samuel is ahead of initial recovery expectations, having returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant just 11 days after straining his right calf. Reports last week suggested he would miss two or three games, but it now seems he has a shot to come back after just one absence, or at the very worst he should be ready Week 5 against Arizona. The 49ers have a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, with Week 3 standout Jauan Jennings set to be the main fantasy beneficiary if Samuel is inactive again.

Gabe Davis WR | BUF
Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Questionable for Week 4
Davis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston.
On Wednesday, coach Doug Pederson revealed that Davis was dealing with a shoulder injury and was considered day-to-day, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. Davis then managed limited practices Wednesday through Friday, leaving his status for Week 4 cloudy. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, once the Jaguars post their inactives approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Davis is inhibited or out this weekend, Parker Washington, Devin Duvernay and Tim Jones would be the tertiary wide receivers behind starters Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas.
