Burks (foot) is listed as active Sunday versus the Eagles.

Burks first dealt with a sore foot at the start of training camp, played through a shoulder injury in Week 6 and then sandwiched two limited sessions around Thursday's DNP due to a foot issue. It's unclear if the current concern is related to the previous one from three months ago, but he entered the weekend listed as questionable. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Burks is expected to suit up, and he indeed avoided the Commanders' inactive list. With Terry McLaurin (knee) and Jaylin Lane (ankle) out for the season, Burks has a chance for regular WR reps moving forward alongside Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown and Luke McCaffrey behind top option Stefon Diggs.

Sutton briefly left Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Sutton went to the medical tent after taking a hard hit, but the wideout was able to return to action not long after he did so. In the process he'll bolster a Denver Week 9 WR corps that also includes Jaylen Waddle, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Wilson said after Sunday's 33-30 win at Dallas that he suffered two broken ribs during the contest, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Wilson missed some time spanning the second and third quarter to be evaluated for an undisclosed injury, but he was able to return to action, finishing Week 8 with eight catches (on 15 targets) for 111 yards and one touchdown while taking one carry for 17 yards. Considering he was able to play through the pain and act as a favorite target for both QBs Jacoby Brissett and later Gardner Minshew, Wilson may not be in danger of missing additional time, but a rib injury has plagued him the last two games, so his status bears monitoring to see if that may be the case next Sunday in Seattle.

Jefferson brought in five of nine targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 19-15 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Jefferson led the Vikings in receptions with the aid of a team-high target total, but the highlight of the perennial Pro Bowler's afternoon was his touchdown grab. Jefferson stuck his hand up and tapped Kyler Murray's (hamstring) pass to himself while in tight coverage in the left corner of the end zone early in the second quarter, ultimately securing a memorable one-yard scoring grab. Jefferson has topped 50 receiving yards just three times and is still in search of his first 100-yard game of the season, but he's found the end zone in two of the last three games heading into a Week 9 home showdown against the Bills on Monday night, Nov. 9.

St. Brown secured seven of eight targets for 46 yards and rushed once for 10 yards in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

The star wideout suffered an injury scare in the first quarter on a play where an apparent 24-yard touchdown catch was overturned on replay, but St. Brown was able to return before long and finish the game. However, the suffocating Vikings defense, which St. Brown had enjoyed success against in the past, did a good job limiting him after the catch, even though he did finish with team-high reception and target totals. St. Brown now has failed to record a TD grab in four straight games, but he has at least seven receptions in each of those contests heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins.

Higgins secured 10 of 11 targets for 155 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday.

Higgins led the Bengals' air attack in receiving yards and touchdown grabs on a day when Joe Burrow threw for 462 yards and five touchdown passes overall. Higgins was responsible for a pair, making 17- and 18-yard scoring grabs in the second half. The latter erased a 36-29 deficit with 1:17 remaining in regulation to help force overtime, and Higgins now has at least 148 receiving yards in three of the last four games and a pair of TD catches in two straight. The veteran has essentially moved into a true 1-A role alongside Ja'Marr Chase in the passing attack, and he'll look to carry the massive momentum into a Week 9 matchup against a vulnerable Falcons secondary in Madrid next Sunday.

Chase secured 11 of 16 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 43-36 overtime win over the Titans on Sunday.

Chase finally struck for his first 100-yard effort of the campaign in Sunday's wild win, finishing with team-high reception and target totals, as well as runner-up status in receiving yards. Chase was also on the receiving end of one of Joe Burrow's five touchdown passes, corralling the first one of the day from 30 yards out early in the second quarter. Chase has now scored in three straight games, and after season-best totals across all three components of his receiving line Sunday, the All-Pro receiver will head into a Week 9 matchup against the Falcons in Madrid with no shortage of momentum.

Moore indicated following Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens that he's okay in the wake of his late-game exit due to a knee issue, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

That's encouraging, but Moore's status will nonetheless be worth monitoring ahead of the Bills' Nov. 9 contest against the Vikings. Before his departure from Sunday's contest, Moore caught four of his seven targets for 82 yards and a TD.

Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

Mitchell didn't catch any of his three targets in the Week 7 loss to Miami after returning from a four-game absence due to a finger injury, but he bounced back with a career-best Week 8 performance. His top highlights Sunday were a 12-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter and a 47-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Garrett Wilson led the team with 12 targets while Omar Cooper went without a target after back-to-back games with more than 100 yards and a TD. The 2-6 Jets could try to get all three of their talented young wideouts involved in Week 9, when they will likely be playing catch-up against the Chiefs.

Wilson caught six of 12 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 38-33 loss to the Raiders.

Wilson saw his second-highest target total of the season Sunday after being targeted a season-low three times in the Week 7 loss to Miami. After being outplayed by Omar Cooper in each of the previous two games, Wilson took a back seat to Adonai Mitchell in this one, as Mitchell caught seven of nine targets for 142 yards and a touchdown while Cooper went without a target. The Jets have three capable wide receivers for the first time in a while, but Wilson easily leads the team with 527 receiving yards heading into a Week 9 road game against the Chiefs, while Mitchell's a distant second with 265 receiving yards.
