  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Cleared for Sunday

    Diggs (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing fully Friday.

    Diggs was limited Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a chest issue, but the wideout's full participation in Friday's session clears the way for him to maintain his key pass-catching role in New England's offense. Through seven games thus far this season, Diggs leads his team in targets (44), catches (39) and receiving yards (456), a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar Week 8.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Good to go

    Moore (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

    Also listed with a hip injury last week, Moore ended up handling an 87 percent snap share and 93 percent route share in a win over the Saints, catching three of five targets for 43 yards in the process. His fantasy production has been hugely disappointing this year, but there's been no hint of it costing Moore snaps/routes.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Avoids injury designation

    Egbuka (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Egbuka played through the same injury in a 24-9 loss at Detroit on Monday, catching four of 12 targets for 58 yards while leading Tampa's WRs in snap share (76 percent) and route share (81 percent). He could get even more playing time this week, especially after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. Fellow wideout Mike Evans (collarbone) is expected to miss most of the rest of the season, with Chris Godwin (fibula) out at least through a Week 9 bye.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Cleared for action

    Slayton (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Giants coach Brian Daboll hinted at this Friday morning when he told reporters that Slayton looked good during practice the past two days. Slayton should jump right back in as a starter, as the Giants don't have much else besides Wan'Dale Robinson at wide receiver.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: No receptions in loss

    Thielen did not have a reception on his only target in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.

    Thielen has arguably failed to secure more catchable balls than he has receptions (five) this season, as the ball thrown his way could have been listed as a drop. He played on just 12 of the offense's 49 snaps despite the team falling behind early, which doesn't bode well for his future usage.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Cleared to play Week 8

    Olave (ankle) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Saints coach Kellen More preempted the final injury report, telling reporters Friday that none of his injured players will have injury designations. Olave is coming off a two-TD performance Week 7 in Chicago, where his dominant volume finally translated to big-time production, though it was actually a down week for him targets-wise (seven). He got double-digit looks in five of the Saints' first six games of the season.

  • Mason Kinsey WR | TEN

    Titans' Mason Kinsey: Promoted to active roster

    The Titans signed Kinsey off their practice squad Friday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    The 27-year-old's promotion to the active roster provides the Titans with much-needed depth at wide receiver, as Calvin Ridley (hamstring) and Bryce Oliver (knee) are both out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Expect Kinsey to contribute on both offense and special teams during the Week 8 divisional matchup.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Cleared to play

    Mooney (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Mooney missed Week 6 with the hamstring injury but returned last week to catch three of five targets for 68 yards while playing 83 percent of snaps in a 20-10 loss to the 49ers. He should get similar playing time this Sunday against one of the worst defenses in the league, though it isn't year clear if he'll be catching passes from Michael Penix (questionable - knee) or Kirk Cousins.

  • Bryce Oliver WR | TEN

    Titans' Bryce Oliver: Won't play Sunday

    Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    The Youngstown State product is now in line to miss his sixth consecutive game due to a knee injury. Oliver has appeared in two games for Tennessee this season, contributing primarily on special teams (47 snaps on special teams and 11 on offense). While he's sidelined again in Week 8, Chimere Dike is expected to serve as the Titans' primary kick returner.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Won't play Sunday

    Ridley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    With Ridley slated to miss his second straight game, Elic Ayomanor, Van Jefferson and Chimere Dike will continue to lead the Titans' WR corps this weekend. Ridley's next chance to play will arrive Sunday, Nov. 2 against the Chargers.
