  • Tre Tucker WR | LV

    Raiders' Tre Tucker: Could benefit sans Meyers, Bowers

    Tucker is expected to be a focal point in the Las Vegas passing attack Sunday against the Chiefs due to top wideout Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe) and top tight end Brock Bowers (knee) being inactive for the contest, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    Bowers had already missed the Raiders' previous two games, and while Michael Mayer will once again step in as the team's No. 1 tight end and benefit the most from a playing time standpoint, Bowers' absence along with Meyers' will free up more targets for all of Las Vegas' pass catchers. Along with Mayer, Tucker looks to be one of the primary beneficiaries from the vacated target volume, and rookie receivers Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton are also candidates to move into elevated roles. Through the Raiders' first six games, Tucker has produced a 24-356-4 receiving line on 33 targets while adding 29 yards on five carries. According to McFadden, quarterbacks have a 134.6 passer rating when targeting Tucker, good for the fifth-highest mark among all wideouts in the NFL.

  • Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR

    Panthers' Hunter Renfrow: Inactive Sunday

    Renfrow (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    With Jalen Coker back from IR, Renfrow is the odd man out in Carolina's Week 7 WR corps. Also in the mix at the position Sunday are Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Brycen Tremayne and Jimmy Horn.

  • Alex Bachman WR | LV

    Raiders' Alex Bachman: Good to go Week 7

    Bachman (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Bachman was limited in the last two practices of the week due to an ankle injury but he has been given the green light to play Week 7 after going through pregame warmups. He has mostly served on special teams this season but could get a bump in snaps on offense due to the absences of Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Brock Bowers (knee).

  • Dolphins' Tahj Washington: Healthy scratch again

    Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Washington has played only three snaps this season, all coming on offense in Week 5 against Carolina. The Dolphins' active WRs for Week 7 are Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge.

  • Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Healthy scratch Week 7

    Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Despite Tyreek Hill (knee) being out for the season, Wilson is a healthy scratch for a second straight game. He missed time early in the campaign due to a knee injury, but he's been off the injury report the past two weeks.

  • Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Inactive for first time this season

    Meyers (knee/toe) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Though Meyers was able to take a questionable tag into the weekend after he followed up a pair of missed practices Wednesday and Thursday with a limited session Friday, the wideout ultimately didn't display enough progress in his recovery from the knee and toe injuries during a pregame workout to get the green light to play in Kansas City. With top tight end Brock Bowers (knee) also set to miss a third straight game, quarterback Geno Smith will be without his top two pass catchers in Week 7. The absences of Meyers and Bowers on Sunday should free up more opportunities in the passing game for tight end Michael Mayer, running back Ashton Jeanty and wideouts Tre Tucker, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton. With the Raiders on bye for Week 8, Meyers will set his sights on a return to action Nov. 2 versus the Jaguars.

  • Gage Larvadain WR | CLE

    Browns' Gage Larvadain: Clears concussion protocol

    Larvadain (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Larvadain was diagnosed with a concussion following last week's loss to the Steelers, but he cleared protocols Sunday and will suit up despite not logging a full practice during Week 7 prep. Larvadain is expected to fill a depth role on offense and possibly contribute in the return game on special teams.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Inactive Sunday

    Wilson (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Wilson, who leads the Jets with 56 targets through six games, suffered a hyperextended knee last weekend and was unable to practice Wednesday through Friday before being designated as doubtful for Sunday's contest. Now that he's been made inactive, Josh Reynolds will likely work as the Jets' top wide receiver versus Carolina, with Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, Tyler Johnson and Isaiah Williams also in the mix for added opportunities at the position. Additionally, TE Mason Taylor and RB Breece Hall could see an uptick in targets in the contest, as the Jets look to fill the void created by the absence of their top pass catcher.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Active Sunday

    Diggs (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, Diggs upgraded to full participation Friday before being deemed questionable for the contest. With his Week 7 availability confirmed, in the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks, Diggs is in line to maintain his key role in a New England WR corps that also features Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins. Prior to a three-catch, 28-yard effort (on three targets) in a Week 6 win over the Saints, Diggs made his mark from a fantasy perspective by recording back-to-back 100-plus yard efforts in Weeks 4 and 5, a span in which he was targeted 19 times. Through six games overall, Diggs leads the Patriots in targets (37), receptions (32), and receiving yards (387).

  • Mike Evans WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Likely to play Monday, per report

    Evans (hamstring) is likely to play Monday night against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    After logging a limited session Thursday and a 'DNP' on Friday, Evans was deemed a full practice participant Saturday before being officially listed as questionable for Monday's contest. While Evans is trending toward a return to action in Week 7, fellow WR Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) has "a real chance to play" versus Detroit, per Schefter, though his status is viewed as a game-time call. In any case, final confirmation of the duo's availability is set to arrive when Tampa Bay's inactives are posted ahead of Monday night's 7:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
