Reynolds (groin) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) both are on track to play with questionable tags after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. Reynolds is off to a great start this year with nine catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns on three targets, but he's put together similar stretches in the past before fading back to either a bench role or an extremely low rate of targets per route. Even so, fantasy managers could do worse as far as Week 3 streamers or injury replacements go, as Reynolds at least has solidified himself as Detroit's top perimeter receiver until Jameson Williams returns from suspension Week 7 (and possibly beyond that if Williams gets off to a slow start).

Parker (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 3 game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Parker played 100 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Dolphins, recording six catches for 57 scoreless yards. He'll see a lot of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed in coverage this week, making Parker an unexciting fantasy play.

St. Brown (toe) was a full practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

St. Brown and coach Dan Campbell both were optimistic Friday morning/afternoon, and the upgrade to full practice all but confirms Detroit's top target will suit up for the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. While he won't necessarily have volume/workload limitations, St. Brown did mention to Woodyard that he'll play with a steel plate in his shoe, suggesting there's at least some degree of concern about his injured toe. Still, St. Brown's consistent record of production over the past season and a half makes him an auto-start for most fantasy teams whenever he's active.

Waddle (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after being a limited participant in practice Friday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Waddle has yet to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol since taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the fourth quarter of Miami's 24-17 Week 2 win over New England, but Friday's capped session was a step in the right direction, as it marked the first time Waddle has practiced in any capacity since getting hurt. The 24-year-old wide receiver will need to clear the protocol for head injuries in order to be eligible to play Sunday. If Waddle is unable to suit up, some combination of Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft, Erik Ezukanma and Cedrick Wilson will be used to fill the void opposite Tyreek Hill at wide receiver.

Jennings caught two of three targets for 31 yards in Thursday's 30-12 win over the Giants.

It was Ray-Ray McCloud who started in place of Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) on Thursday, which kept Jennings in the No. 3 role. The former was not targeted on offense, while Jennings saw his usual allotment of targets and playing time (31 offensive snaps). It wound up being seventh-round rookie Ronnie Bell (2-24-1) who would cash in a score in Aiyuk's absence. It became clear that San Francisco's coaching staff values Jennings in his current role, limiting any potential fantasy upside ahead of a Week 4 matchup against Arizona.

Cooper (groin/shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Cooper aggravated a groin injury ahead of the Browns' Week 2 road matchup with the Steelers, but he ended up playing and logged a 74 percent snap share on his way to seven catches (on 10 targets) for 90 yards. During Week 3 prep, a shoulder issue has been bothering him in addition to the groin concern, which kept him out of Wednesday's practice before capping it with back-to-back limited sessions. Still, Cooper will be able to suit up this weekend and should continue to be quarterback Deshaun Watson's top target in Cleveland's passing game.

Samuel's ribs are sore after a win over the Giants on Thursday, but testing didn't reveal any breaks or serious damage, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Despite appearing to be in pain and coming out for a couple plays at one point in the second half, Samuel handled over 90 percent of snaps in Thursday's games until things got out of hands in the fourth quarter. His 27-yard TD with six minutes remaining was the knockout blow in a 30-12 victory, putting Samuel at a 6-129-1 receiving line on 12 targets in a game the Niners played without fellow wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder). Both of the team's top WRs are banged up now, though that may not be the case by the time the Niners play their next game in Week 4 against Arizona on Sunday, Oct. 1.

Mooney (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Coach Matt Eberflus suggested earlier in the week that Mooney was unlikely to miss additional time following his early departure from last week's 27-17 loss to Tampa Bay. The wideout put up a 4-53-1 line on a team-high-tying seven targets in the season opener but then didn't see any passes on 11 routes in Week 2. If nothing else, Mooney can be counted on to play a large share of Chicago's snaps while running many of his routes downfield.

Beckham (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Colts.

OBJ missed practice all week after initially injuring the ankle in the Week 2 win over the Bengals. With Beckham sidelined, the Ravens' likely three-wide set will feature Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor. Beckham has five catches for 66 scoreless yards on seven targets after two games.

Watson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

After opening Week 3 prep with a limited practice Wednesday, Watson was held out Thursday. Coach Matt LaFleur downplayed the DNP, telling Matt Schneidman of The Athletic that was part of the maintenance plan with Watson's workload as he makes his way back from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for the first two games of the season. Watson's availability, or lack thereof, will become known approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
