Cracraft is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos after suffering a shoulder injury in the second quarter.

With Jaylen Waddle (concussion) made inactive for the Week 3 contest, Cracraft appeared headed for an increased role Sunday, but the shoulder issue may end up cutting his afternoon short. He'll likely be evaluated in the locker room during halftime before the Dolphins determine his availability for the second half. Cracraft reeled in his lone target for a 13-yard gain before departing the contest.

Toney (toe) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Schefter reported on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" program.

Though Toney appears to be trending toward suiting up Sunday, fantasy managers are still advised to verify his status when the Chiefs release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. The wideout missed practices Wednesday and Thursday due to the toe injury before returning to the field as a limited participant Friday and carrying a questionable designation into the weekend.

Boutte (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

With Boutte inactive for the second week in a row, the Patriots' Week 3 WR corps will feature the quartet of DeVante Parker, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kendrick Bourne and Demario Douglas. For now, Boutte is off the fantasy radar until injuries hit.

Wilson is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

With Jaylen Waddle (concussion) out and Erik Ezukanma inactive, Wilson will suit up versus Denver, while Tyreek Hill will lead the Dolphins' Week 3 WR corps. Also in the mix for targets Sunday are Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft and Robbie Chosen.

Ezukanma is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

With Jaylen Waddle (concussion) out Sunday, Tyreek Hill will lead the Dolphins' Week 3 WR corps, with Braxton Berrios and River Cracraft likely next in line for targets and Cedrick Wilson and Robbie Chosen also candidates to mix in.

Reynolds (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown (groin) have both received the green light to play Sunday, despite the fact both wideouts had been listed as questionable heading into the day. Considering Reynolds closed Week 3 prep as a full practice participant Friday, the expectation is that he'll be able to handle his normal workload Sunday. In both of his first two games of the season, Reynolds has cleared 69 percent of the snaps while compiling nine receptions for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets.

St. Brown (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Despite finishing the week as a full practice participant, St. Brown took a questionable tag into Sunday while tending to a toe injury. As anticipated, the toe issue won't prevent St. Brown from suiting up for the Week 3 matchup, though the wideout acknowledged that he'll play the game with a steel plate in his shoe. According to ESPN.com, St. Brown said that he has previously played with a plate in his shoe during his high school days, so assuming he experiences no discomfort, his snaps aren't expected to affected Sunday.

Hopkins (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Hopkins, who didn't practice Friday, also didn't practice last week before playing against the Chargers in Week 2, logging 39 snaps while catching four of his team-high five targets for 40 yards. It remains to be seen if the veteran wideout will be limited at all versus Cleveland, but Hopkins will once again play through his ankle issue nonetheless and should continue to see his share of targets from QB Ryan Tannehill on Sunday in the absence of any in-game setbacks.

Watson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Saints, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Watson has incrementally increased his practice reps through the first three weeks of the campaign, sitting out every session ahead of the season opener, finally returning to practice the Friday before Week 2 and logging a pair of capped practices Week 3 as he recovers from a hamstring injury. The extra on-field work won't result in Watson's season debut, though, leaving Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Samori Toure and Malik Heath as the Packers' options at wide receiver Sunday. Watson will turn his focus to suiting up Thursday against the Lions.

Waddle (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, but he's experienced no setbacks in his recovery from the brain injury and is said to be progressing well, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Waddle entered the concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head from Patriots linebacker Marte Mapu in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's win. He made enough progress through the five-step protocol to practice in a limited fashion Friday, and though he was initially listed as questionable for the Week 3 matchup, the Dolphins downgraded him to out Saturday. Wolfe's report suggests that Waddle's downgrade in status likely wasn't the result of the receiver having his concussion symptoms resurface; instead, he may just need more time to gain clearance from an independent neurologist. Though recovery timelines for concussions can often be volatile, at this stage, Waddle seems to have a good chance at being ready to suit up for the Dolphins in their Week 4 matchup with the Bills next Sunday. Depth wideouts Braxton Berrios and River Cracraft are expected to step into expanded roles on offense behind No. 1 receiver Tyreek Hill this weekend against the Broncos while Waddle is sidelined.
