Johnson (coach's decision) is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in London, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Johnson will be in street clothes for the second straight week while the Jaguars dress five other receivers (Marvin Jones, Laviska Shenault, Jamal Agnew, Tavon Austin and Laquon Treadwell) ahead of him. After emerging as a key deep threat in the Chargers' passing attack in 2020, Johnson has failed to gain much traction in the Jacksonville offense this season. While suiting up in the first four games, Johnson drew just three targets in total and played only 25 total snaps.

Robinson (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Robinson missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session Friday. Fortunately for those considering Robinson in Week 6 fantasy lineups, the Bears kick off a 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. The wideout has yet to forge much of a connection with quarterback Justin Fields through the rookie's first three starts, recording nine receptions for 122 yards and no touchdowns on 14 targets across those contests.

McLaurin (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

McLaurin missed Friday's practice due to a hamstring injury, but head coach Ron Rivera said it was due to an "abundance of caution" rather than a significant injury. Still, fantasy managers will want to check McLaurin's status before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Hill (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill managed only one limited practice this season while tending to a bruised quad, but the injury doesn't look as though it'll prevent him from playing Sunday. Even so, fantasy managers will want to confirm he's suiting up when Kansas City releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Williams (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Despite failing to practice during the week, Williams is seemingly trending in the right direction for the Week 6 matchup. As long as he avoids a pregame setback, he'll be able to take the field and will look to build on his league-leading six touchdown catches. Confirmation on Williams' availability should come approximately 90 minutes prior to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Chargers release their inactive list.

Pettis was elevated from the Giants' practice squad Saturday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Pettis is being promoted to the Giants' game day roster in order to provide roster insurance for fellow wideout Darius Slayton, who is questionable for Week 6 with a hamstring injury. The Giants have been ravished by injuries to their offense, and Kenny Golladay is the latest to be ruled out after hyperextending his knee in Week 5. On a positive note, Kadarius Toney (ankle, questionable) is expected to play, and Sterling Shepard is also making his return from a hamstring injury. Even if Darius Slayton is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Pettis will likely have a hard time seeing the field behind the Giants' healthy pass catchers.

John Keim of ESPN.com reports McLaurin is "feeling good" after injuring his hamstring Friday. The third-year wide receiver is currently listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

It's hardly much to go on, but any positive news is something to report given McLaurin's injury occurred during Friday's practice, putting his status for Sunday somewhat in doubt. Washington did elevate wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden ahead of the aforementioned matchup, but the team has already ruled out both Curtis Samuel (groin) and Cam Sims (hamstring), while Dyami Brown (knee) is also listed as questionable, so it's hardly a one-for-one replacement. If McLaurin is able to play, the speedy target figures to be set for a massive workload given the Chiefs' below-average pass defense and what figures to be an offensive onslaught from both sides.

Dorsett was elevated from the Seahawks' practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Dorsett will join the active roster for a second straight week. However, he played just five offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in last week's loss to the Rams.

Collins (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

It's a bit surprising to see Collins activated so soon given he was just designated to practice earlier this week. As a result, Saturday's roster move has to be a positive sign regarding his health moving forward. The 2021 third-round pick was a popular sleeper entering the year given the lack of notable starting receivers opposite Brandin Cooks. That hasn't changed in Collins' absence, though the switch to Davis Mills might complicate things somewhat given the two theoretically haven't had much time to practice with one another. At the very least, the 6-foot-4 target is worth a speculative add in deeper formats given his potential in an offense that is still sorely lacking a second quality pass catcher.

Cleveland was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad Saturday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Cleveland will join the active roster for the second straight week as a much needed depth piece at wide receiver for Denver's offense. Joining him will be new acquisition John Brown, though it remains unclear if the veteran wideout will be activated for game day. Nonetheless, both Cleveland and Brown have the potential to see usage in the passing game to augment Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick when the Broncos square off against the Raiders in Week 6.
