Khalil Shakir WR | BUF
Bills' Khalil Shakir: Questionable for Monday
Shakir (ankle) will be a limited participant in Saturday's practice and is expected to be listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
The news dump comes before the Bills take part in practice Saturday, so it's possible something will change. Assuming Shakir does practice, it would mark the first time the 24-year-old has participated in any fashion over the past two weeks.

Jauan Jennings WR | MIN
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 27 yards on TNF
Jennings had three receptions (five targets) for 27 yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.
Jennings saw the field for nearly half (49 percent) of San Francisco's offensive plays Thursday, a number which has mirrored his snap count this season aside from his standout performance against the Rams back in Week 3. Since that three-score game, the veteran slot man has produced just seven catches for 128 yards with no trips to the end zone over his last three contests. Jennings remains an option for those in deeper formats when the 49ers host the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20.

DJ Turner WR | HOU
Raiders' DJ Turner: Ready for Week 6
Turner (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Prior to gathering in one of four targets for 12 yards this past Sunday at Denver, Turner had three targets in 23 career games on his resume. A hamstring injury limited his practice reps Wednesday and Thursday, but his return to full participation Friday has cleared him for Week 6 action. With Davante Adams (hamstring) ruled out and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) questionable for Sunday's game, Turner should be in store for at least a handful of looks from QB Aidan O'Connell and potentially more if Meyers joins Adams as inactive.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Set to miss at least one game
Reynolds (hand) won't play Sunday against the Chargers.
Per Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com, Reynolds could miss multiple weeks after undergoing finger surgery. With the wideout sidelined this weekend, at a minimum, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Devaughn Vele are candidates to see added snaps behind Courtland Sutton for any length of time that Reynolds misses.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Status in question for Week 6
Meyers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
With one limited practice (Friday) under his belt this week, Meyers' availability for Week 6 action won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's able to suit up Sunday, he'll continue to serve as the Raiders' No. 1 WR with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined for a third straight game. On the first two occasions, Meyers recorded 11 catches (on 19 targets) for 121 yards and no touchdowns, while Tre Tucker (7-59-0 on 11 targets) was a distant second in terms of usage. Las Vegas made a change under center this week from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O'Connell, so there could be some jostling in terms of target share between an active Meyers and Tucker moving forward.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Raiders' Davante Adams: Not playing Sunday
Adams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Adams is in the midst of his recovery from a hamstring injury, which will force a third straight absence this weekend. Along the way, he made a trade request to the Raiders, who seem to be willing to move on from the 11-year pro. Interested parties are waiting on Adams to get back to full health before committing resources (likely draft capital) for the veteran wide receiver, so his next chance for game action, wherever that may be, will occur Week 7, at the earliest.

Kendrick Bourne WR | ARI
Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: Questionable for Sunday
Bourne (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans after practicing in a limited fashion this week.
Given that Bourne was on the reserve/PUP list through Week 4 as he bounced back from a knee injury he sustained Oct. 29, 2023, it's not surprising that the Patriots are easing the wideout back into the mix. We'd expect Bourne to be available to face Houston on Sunday, with confirmation of his status set to arrive once New England's inactives are known ahead of the team's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. After logging a 27 percent snap share in his season debut versus Miami in Week 5, Bourne could see an uptick in playing time in QB Drake Maye's first NFL regular-season start, but until the veteran pass catcher gets a full and productive game in, he's a speculative fantasy option.

Deonte Harty WR | BAL
Ravens' Deonte Harty: Questionable against Commanders
Harty (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Washington.
Harty's logged back-to-back full practices, but he still holds a questionable status as the Ravens prepare to take on a powerful Commanders squad. The return specialist missed last week's matchup against the Bengals but will look to be cleared to play Sunday morning.
-
Kameron Johnson WR | TB
Buccaneers' Kameron Johnson: Missing Week 6
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Johnson played just five total snaps (four offensive and one on special teams) before exiting the Bucs' Week 5 loss to the Falcons with an ankle injury. He downgraded from limited work Wednesday to a DNP both Thursday and Friday, making it no surprise that he's sitting out Week 6. Expect Sterling Shepard and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) to see increased work in Tampa Bay's wide receiver room in Johnson's stead.

K.J. Osborn WR | TEN
Patriots' K.J. Osborn: Questionable after three LPs
Osborn (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Mark Daniels of MassLive reports.
Osborn's questionable after a trio of limited practices. If he suits up, he'll be catching passes from rookie third overall pick Drake Maye, who has supplanted Jacoby Brissett as New England's starting quarterback.
