Collins (calf) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Collins initially appeared to be on a path to play against the Bengals after he opened Week 10 prep as a limited participant Wednesday, but after regressing to no participation Thursday and Friday, he'll ultimately sit out Sunday for the first time all season. On a positive note for the Texans, Robert Woods (foot) is listed as questionable but is trending toward putting an end to his two-game absence after practicing fully Friday, and he could end up filling a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Tank Dell and Noah Brown while Collins is sidelined this weekend.

Peoples-Jones (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The Lions traded for Peoples-Jones before their Week 9 bye and might not have him available for the first game after it. He managed limited practice participation Wednesday through Friday, so it won't be a surprise if he ends up active ahead of the 4:05 ET p.m. kickoff this Sunday, though a featured role in Detroit's passing game is unlikely.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Jones -- who last played Week 5 -- practiced in a limited fashion this week, but now that the wideout has been ruled out, he'll target a potential return to action Nov. 19 against the Titans. In his continued absence, Tim Jones and Jamal Agnew are in line to see added Week 10 snaps behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Metcalf (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Metcalf was held out of practice Thursday after a full session Wednesday, but the fact that he doesn't have a designation for Week 10 suggests his absence a day ago was a matter of caution or rest rather than being the result of a setback. He played more than three-fourths of Seattle's snaps on offense the past two weeks, showing no obvious workload limitations after missing Week 7 with a hip injury. The production has been less impressive, amounting to six catches for 117 yards on 18 targets the past two weeks and averages of 4.0 catches and 64.9 yards for the season.

Lazard (knee) has no injury designation and is slated to play Sunday against the Raiders, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Lazard was limited Wednesday and Thursday before getting in a full practice Friday. Catching passes from Zach Wilson, Lazard has cleared 50 yards in a game just once all season and has only one touchdown. He's not a recommended fantasy bet for Week 10.

Douglas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

Douglas is one of nine players listed by the Patriots as questionable for the contest, but fortunately for those inclined to use the 2023 sixth-rounder in Week 10 fantasy lineups, the team kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. As long as Douglas is available this weekend, he'll remain a key target in a WR corps that will be without both Kendrick Bourne (knee, IR) and DeVante Parker (concussion). In New England's loss to the Commanders in Week 9, Douglas caught five of his seven targets for a team-high 55 yards.

Palmer (neck/illness) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Palmer was a limited participant Wednesday due to a neck injury and then missed practice Thursday with the addition of an illness. A return to full participation Friday makes him more likely than not to be active ahead of Sunday's 1 ET kickoff. The rookie has been working as Tampa Bay's No. 3 receiver, getting only slightly less playing time than Chris Godwin and Mike Evans the past month.

Pierce (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots in Frankfurt, Germany.

Pierce wasn't listed on the practice report Wednesday, was limited Thursday, and then got in a full practice Friday. This suggests Pierce suffered a mid-week injury, which is rarely a good sign, though it was promising to see Pierce get in a full day of work Friday. His official status will be known 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff.

Turpin (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's Week 10 game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Turpin didn't practice at all this week, so he's likely on the wrong side of the questionable tag. We'll know Turpin's status 90 minutes ahead of the 4:25 PM ET kickoff. The team's primary return man, Turpin has played just 14 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps this season, scoring three touchdowns on 14 touches.

The Colts list Downs (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots in Frankfurt, Germany.

Though the questionable tag implies that Downs has a 50-50 shot of playing Sunday, his odds of suiting up may actually be lower, given that he failed to practice in any capacity from Wednesday through Friday. Whatever the case, the Colts will make an official call on Downs' status no later than 90 minutes before the 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff when the team releases its inactive list. Indianapolis is also listing fellow receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) as questionable, but he appears to have a better chance than Downs at playing after turning in a full practice Friday.
