Samuel (illness) is listed as active Sunday against the Cowboys, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

One week removed from logging just four offensive snaps due to an illness that eventually was determined to be pneumonia and prompted a stay in the hospital, Samuel will be available to San Francisco's offense Week 8. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season and Jauan Jennings (hip) sidelined for a second contest in a row, Samuel and TE George Kittle (foot) likely will serve as the top pass catchers for QB Brock Purdy on Sunday.

Mooney brought in five of seven targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Mooney led the Falcons in receiving yards and targets on the afternoon while recording a touchdown for the fourth time this season on a perfectly timed 30-yard pass from Kirk Cousins late in the second quarter. Mooney has remained healthy and turned into a steady contributor in coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, a welcome change from his previous two seasons with the Bears following an encouraging start to his career. Mooney will next take aim at the Cowboys in a Week 9 home matchup.

Douglas caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.

Douglas finished sixth on the team in receiving yards while no Patriots player had more than 46 receiving yards or a touchdown through the air. The slot receiver will likely be catching passes from Jacoby Brissett in Week 9 against the Titans, as Drake Maye entered the concussion protocol in the first half of Sunday's win.

London brought in four of six targets for 34 yards in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Unlike a Week 5 breakout when he posted a season-best 12-154-1 line against these same Bucs, London was limited to his second-lowest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season. The third-year pro also saw his six-game streak with at least six receptions snapped, and a three-game stretch with at least one receiving touchdown met the same fate. London's first chance to regroup comes in a Week 9 home matchup against the Cowboys.

Brown secured five of six targets for 84 yards in the Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

Brown finished just a reception and a yard shy of the team lead in those categories behind DeVonta Smith, extending his season-opening streak of 80-plus-yard games to four. The talented receiver was held without a touchdown for the first time his season, but he'll carry plenty of momentum and a seemingly safe floor into a Week 9 home matchup against a beatable Jaguars defense.

Watson had four receptions (six targets) for 39 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.

Watson has been dealing with an ankle injury in recent weeks, but he has maintained an active status throughout. The 6-foot-4 wideout tied tight end Tucker Kraft for the lead in targets for Green Bay on Sunday. Watson remains a mid-level option with some upside (assuming good health) heading into next Sunday's bout with the Lions.

Adams caught four of six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Adams' modest showing included 16 meaningless yards on the game's final play, which ran out the clock before the Jets could get to the line for a spike. He finished second to Garrett Wilson (five catches on eight targets for 113 yards) in catches, targets and receiving yards. Adams has just 84 receiving yards through two games with the Jets, and he won't have much additional time to familiarize himself with his new surroundings before the trade acquisition's MetLife Stadium home debut Thursday against the Texans.

Wilson caught five of eight targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Wilson's 27-yard catch down to the one-yard line in the second quarter set up Xavier Gipson's go-ahead touchdown catch on the next play. Wilson added a 26-yard catch later in the second quarter and a 35-yard grab in the third quarter to easily lead the Jets in receiving yards. Davante Adams was a distant second with 54 receiving yards. Wilson has caught 10 of 17 targets for 174 yards in two games since Adams' arrival, so Wilson maintains a prominent role heading into Thursday's home game against a Texans secondary that's been susceptible to big plays.

Doubs caught three of six targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars.

Doubs finished as the Packers' leading wide receiver behind tight end Tucker Kraft (3-78-1) on Sunday. The 24-year-old Doubs has been a solid fantasy option since being reinstated from a dispute regarding his playing time in Week 5, accruing 14 receptions for 215 yards and two touchdowns over a three-week span. Consider Doubs a flex-worthy fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Detroit.

Kirk's left arm was in a sling after Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

After exiting with a shoulder injury, the wideout was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest, and given DiRocco's report, Kirk's status for next weekend's game against the Eagles is cloudy. Fellow WRs Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) also were injured versus Green Bay, with the trio's status now worth tracking closely in the coming days.
