Conley has been elevated from Houston's practice squad ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Colts.

Conley, who caught 22 passes for 323 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games for the Texans last season, is back in the mix for Week 1 snaps, though he's a speculative fantasy option at this stage while working in a wideout corps headed by Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins.

The Patriots have elevated Humphrey from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

With Jakobi Meyers (knee) listed as questionable for the contest, Humphrey provides the Patriots with some added Week 1 wideout depth, plus he's also an option to contribute on special teams if he's active Sunday.

The Eagles have elevated Covey to their 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Lions.

Covey failed to make it through Philly's final roster cuts and subsequently reverted to the practice squad. Now, the undrafted rookie will perhaps see his first NFL action as the team's No. 5 wide receiver.

Winfree has been promoted to the Packers' active roster for Sunday's opener against the Vikings.

Winfree was the odd man out at wide receiver during Green Bay's final roster cuts. However, with Allen Lazard (ankle) doubtful, he will now suit up and help provide depth at the position. Aside from Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers, Winfree will be the only active receiver who has ever caught a regular-season pass from Aaron Rodgers. Still, it remains to be seen how many snaps he ultimately sees.

Turner has been elevated to the 49ers' active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Bears, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Turner was unable to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster during final cuts and subsequently signed with the practice squad. However, he has since earned a spot on the Week 1 roster as the team's No. 6 wide receiver. Still, he is most likely to contribute on special teams rather than offense.

Baccellia has been signed to the Cardinals' active roster ahead of Sunday's opening clash against the Chiefs, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

With Rondale Moore (hamstring) ruled out, Baccellia has been called up to help provide depth at receiver. However, his most likely impact on the field figures to come on special teams. He will enter the game as the No. 5 wideout on the depth chart.

Fountain has been elevated from Kansas City's practice squad ahead of Sunday's season opener against the Cardinals.

Fountain gives the Chiefs some added wideout depth in advance of their season opener; however, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore continue to profile as the team's top options at the position ahead of Week 1 action.

Woods (illness) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Panthers, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

After being limited at practice earlier in the week due to a hamstring issue, an illness is what will ultimately keep Woods sidelined for the Browns' season opner. The rookie will have to wait another week to make his NFL debut. He is expected to provide depth at receiver and potentially contribute on special teams heading into the season.

St. Brown should be one of the Bears' top three receivers for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Darnell Mooney is the clear No. 1, with St. Brown and Byron Pringle up next in an unknown order. The difference between second and third could be big in terms of snaps/routes, as the Bears seemingly want to use a lot of heavier formations this season, carrying four TEs and two fullbacks on their Week 1 roster. It makes sense given the limited talent at wide receiver, with the likes of St. Brown and Pringle only worth a look in the deepest of fantasy leagues. Rookie Velus Jones (hamstring) could also join the mix at some point, but he's listed as doubtful for Week 1, leaving Dante Pettis as the likely No. 4 receiver.

Reagor has adjusted quickly to the Vikings' scheme and is in a position to receive snaps Sunday against the Packers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Reagor, who was traded from Philadelphia to Minnesota at the end of August, feels comfortable enough with the Vikings' offensive system, in which he'll have a chance to receive WR snaps Sunday against the Packers. He's listed as the team's No. 4 wide receiver behind Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn, and the 2020 first-round pick is in line to serve as the team's starting punt returner Week 1.
