Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Trending toward playing Week 2
McConkey (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, is "trending in the right direction" ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Official word on McConkey's status will arrive when the Chargers post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to kickoff, but unless he experiences a setback with his cracked rib while warming up Sunday, the third-year wideout is on track to suit up. Schefter relayed earlier Sunday that McConkey will wear a flak jacket to protect his injured rib if he does wind up playing.

Eagles' Elijah Moore: Remains inactive for Week 2
Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
The veteran wideout will serve as a healthy scratch for the second time in as many games to open the season. Moore appears destined to retain the same status moving forward unless multiple injuries strike at wide receiver for the Eagles.

Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Making season debut Sunday
McMillan (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Browns, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
McMillan finally is putting the knee injury that has bothered him since early August behind him, but per a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN on Sunday morning, the third-year pro isn't expected to handle his normal workload. If McMillan is indeed operating on a snap count, he could yield more of the third-wide-receiver duties to rookie third-rounder Ted Hurst, which effectively could make McMillan the fourth option at the position behind Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin and Hurst. In 17 regular-season contests in his career, McMillan has combined for a 49-639-8 line on 73 targets.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Suiting up in Week 2
Olave (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday at Baltimore, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Olave made an early exit from Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, but it was considered a precautionary measure at the time, per Underhill. Olave remained limited Friday and entered the weekend listed as questionable for Week 2 action, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that the wide receiver was slated to play. Prior to being confirmed as active, Olave was expected to have no limitations on his workload, according to Underhill, a reality that amounted to 10 catches (on 13 targets) for 182 yards in a season-opening overtime loss in Detroit.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bills' DJ Moore: Viewed as day-to-day
The Bills are treating Moore as day-to-day after he was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder after exiting Thursday's 41-31 win over the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Moore carried once for minus-1 yard and didn't draw a target on his 23 snaps before exiting Thursday's contest late in the second quarter. Keon Coleman (55 snaps, 6-63-0 line on six targets) saw a boosted profile on offense in Moore's absence, but Coleman could fade into more of a tertiary role in the passing game if Moore is able to play through the shoulder injury during the Bills' Week 3 matchup with the Chargers. Rapoport relays that Moore is expected to practice next week, and the Bills will see how his shoulder responds before his status for next Sunday's contest is clarified.

Keenan Allen WR | IND
Colts' Keenan Allen: Facing league suspension
Allen "is facing a minimum three-game suspension" in connection with his August arrest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Allen was formally charged with two misdemeanors last week after being arrested on DUI charges in late August, and the NFL could levy a suspension of three games or more for his actions. Per the report, "Allen is not expected to miss playing time while the case proceeds through the courts."

Jalen McMillan WR | TB
Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Should play on snap count
McMillan (knee) is set to play Sunday against the Browns but "is not expected to have a full-time role just yet," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
McMillan was listed as questionable for Week 2 despite practicing fully all week, and although it appears he will be able to make his season debut Sunday, it seems he will not receive a full complement of snaps. Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin figure to remain the primary wideouts for the Buccaneers, with McMillan, Ted Hurst and perhaps Tez Johnson splitting the rest of the duties in some fashion.

Puka Nacua WR | LAR
Rams' Puka Nacua: Looking like game-time call
Nacua (hip) is considered by the Rams "to be a pre-game decision" for Monday's game against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Nacua sat out practice both Friday and Saturday with what was officially listed as a hip injury and what head coach Sean McVay said was "soreness in his groin," leaving his status up in the air for Week 2. Nacua was given a questionable designation, and while it seems he will have a chance to take the field Monday night, fantasy players will want to have another option at the ready in case he is unable to give it a go.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Expected to play Sunday
Olave (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is on track to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Olave took a designation into Sunday after closing Week 2 prep with a pair of practices due to the hamstring injury he sustained during Thursday's session. According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, Olave made the trip to Baltimore with his teammates, and barring a setback in pregame warmups, he'll be formally cleared to play upon the release of the Saints' inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Underhill adds that Olave isn't expected to face any limitations in terms of snaps.

Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Intends to play Sunday
McConkey (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, "has made rapid progress" and "has every intention of playing," Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
After sitting out practice the first two days of the week, McConkey was able to sneak in a limited session Friday. Though Pelissero relays that a final decision on McConkey's status won't be made until later Sunday, fantasy managers can expect him to avoid the Chargers' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, McConkey is working his way back from a cracked rib and has improved more steadily than anticipated since suffering the injury in last weekend's season-opening loss to the Cardinals. McConkey is expected to wear a flak jacket to offer further protection for the rib Sunday, assuming he gets the green light to play, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
