Watkins (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's contest against the Buccaneers.

Watkins wasn't able to practice all week, so it's not entirely surprising to see him ruled inactive for Monday's matchup. Expect Olamide Zaccheaus to see a significant bump in playing time, specifically in three-wideout sets.

Smith (hamstring/thigh) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers.

Smith was a full participant in Saturday's practice, paving the way for the star wideout to be cleared ahead of the primetime matchup. He already has nearly 200 receiving yards and 11 receptions through two games, though the Buccaneers' formidable secondary could prove to be troublesome come Monday.

The Jaguars elevated Harris to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The move corresponds to Zay Jones (knee) being ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Texans. Harris joined the Jaguars' practice squad Aug. 30 after being cut by the team the day before. Harris played 16 games for the Rams the past two seasons, with most of his snaps coming on special teams.

Winfree was elevated to the Colts' active roster Saturday.

This is the third time Winfree has been promoted to the roster. This is the last time the Colts can elevate Winfree from the practice squad and will have to add him to the 53-man roster if they wish for him to be active on game day past Week 3. The 2019 sixth-round pick has played 11 snaps over two games, splitting time on offense and special teams.

Although Nacua (oblique) has been given a questionable designation for Monday's matchup with the Bengals, head coach Sean McVay "expects him to play," Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Nacua logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to close out the week after being a non-participant Thursday. McVay's optimism regarding his status for MNF is promising, but the rookie pass catcher still needs to continue progressing in the right direction in order to ultimately get the green light. More clarity on his status will presumably come Monday.

Samuel (illness) was removed from the injury report Saturday and will play Sunday against the Bills.

Samuel didn't practice Friday due to an illness, but the 27-year-old appears to be fine entering Sunday's contest against the Bills. The veteran didn't get as much work in the Week 2 win over the Broncos (three catches, 19 yards), but he's been a reliable option for quarterback Sam Howell and does pose a speed threat that the Commanders sorely need. Expect Samuel to play around his customary 40-45 snaps in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Conley reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Conley saw the field for nine of the team's 83 offensive snaps Thursday against the Giants, behind Deebo Samuel (68), Ray-Ray McCloud (38), Ronnie Bell (31) and Jauan Jennings (31). Conley was called up to provide depth at receiver with Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) sidelined. The former will now await his next opportunity to be elevated while looking to impress at practice.

Kinsey was promoted off the Titans' practice squad Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official website reports.

Kinsey will provide depth at receiver and presumably chip in on special teams. He suited up for three games with the Titans during his first two years with the squad and tallied one catch for three yards.

Hyatt didn't receive any targets against the 49ers in a Week 3 loss Thursday.

Hyatt provided a boost to the Giants' passing game with two catches for 89 yards against Arizona in Week 2, but he didn't see a single ball thrown his way against San Francisco. This was the second time the rookie speedster has been shut out in receptions through three games this season, and he's yet to be on the field for more than 22 offensive snaps in any contest. With that context in mind, Hyatt isn't a reliable option in fantasy at this point in the campaign.

Campbell caught all six of his targets for 24 yards in Week 3 during a loss to San Francisco.

While Campbell led New York with a season-high six receptions, he didn't do much with that volume, posting a long gain of seven yards and picking up just 24 yards total. He also logged a season-low 42 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps, though that was still good enough for third-most among wideouts on the team. Campbell, Jalin Hyatt and the returning Wan'Dale Robinson saw relatively similar playing time in the Week 3 contest, and there may not be much fantasy value among the trio until one separates himself from the others.
