Claypool is listed as active ahead of Chicago's Week 2 matchup against Tampa Bay.

There had been some doubts about Claypool's gameday roster status following a disappointing Week 1 showing, both from an effort and overall production standpoint (he was held to zero catches on two targets despite playing 55 snaps). The Bears will ultimately give the fifth-year wideout a chance to work through these issues, but Claypool remains an incredibly risky fantasy option as the No. 3 wide receiver in a run-first Chicago offense.

Doubs is expected to serve as quarterback Jordan Love's primary target Sunday against the Falcons with No. 1 receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) listed as questionable but expected to be inactive for the contest, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports.

With Watson on track to miss a second consecutive game, Doubs should once again be in line for an expanded profile in the Green Bay passing attack after catching four passes for 26 yards and two touchdowns on five targets in the Packers' season-opening win over the Bears. Doubs played less than half of the Packers' snaps on offense (48 percent) in the Week 1 win, but that may have been a byproduct of Green Bay's 18-point margin of victory along with the fact that he had been listed as questionable heading into the opener with a hamstring injury of his own. The second-year Nevada product seemingly came out of the opener no worse for the wear, as he doesn't carry an injury designation into the weekend after following up limited practices Wednesday and Thursday with a full session Friday.

Tolbert is expected to serve as Dallas' No. 3 receiver in Sunday's game against the Jets with Brandin Cooks (knee) listed as questionable but not in line to play, Joseph Hoyt of LoneStarLive.com reports.

After playing 16 snaps on offense and drawing one target in the Cowboys' 40-0 win over the Giants in the season opener, Tolbert is projected to see an expanded role Week 2 while Dallas is without one of its top three wideouts in Cooks. CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup are still available for the Cowboys, and tight end Jake Ferguson and running back Tony Pollard are also expected to retain key roles in the passing game, so Tolbert still might not find himself any higher than fifth in the pecking order for targets from quarterback Dak Prescott.

Cooks (knee) isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cooks is officially listed as questionable heading into the Week 2 matchup after missing three consecutive practices due to the sprained MCL he sustained in the Cowboys' season-opening win over the Giants. Expect Cooks to be included on the Cowboys' Week 2 inactive list, which will be released approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Cooks set to sit out, Jalen Tolbert is the favorite to step in as the No. 3 receiving option behind Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb.

Watson (hamstring) is not expected to play in Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It looks like Watson's season debut will have to wait another week, but he has not officially been ruled out yet. The second-year pass catcher returned to practice in limited fashion Friday, which was cause for optimism. However, it looks like the Packers are leaning toward erring on the side of caution with him in order to avoid a lingering issue going forward. Should that indeed be the case, Romeo Doubs would again operate as the team's No. 1 receiver, while Jayden Reed would see an increased role as well.

Hopkins (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hopkins was a non-participant at practice all week due to ankle injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, but the Titans may have simply been exercising extra caution with their No. 1 pass catcher. Fantasy managers planning on using Hopkins in Week 2 lineups will still want to ensure that he's good to go Sunday, with clarity on his status set to arrive when the Titans release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. In his Titans debut last week in a 16-15 loss to the Saints, Hopkins hauled in seven passes on 13 targets for 65 yards.

The Patriots elevated Reagor to the active roster Saturday.

Reagor, a 2020 first-round pick, has had a disappointing start to his career and gets a fresh start in New England. He joined the practice squad after failing to make it on the Vikings' 53-man roster following training camp. The pass catcher has tallied 799 yards and four touchdowns on 72 receptions in 44 career games. He will now be available as a depth receiving option when the Patriots host the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football.

Osborn had three receptions on six targets for 34 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown, in Thursday's loss at Philadelphia. He also had two drops.

Osborn's share of playing time on offense decreased in the season's second game, at least compared to rookie Jordan Addison. Addison started in a two-receiver set to begin the game ahead of Osborn, though Osborn played more snaps on offense (53 to 39 snaps). Meanwhile Addison had a strong game with three receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown. Osborn could see fewer snaps after two drops during the game, and his role could decline more if the coaching staff gains more confidence in Addison's run blocking, which they have said was the reason for Osborn's usage in two-receiver sets.

Trammell has been elevated to the Rams' active roster ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

With rookie Puka Nacua (oblique) listed as questionable, Trammell has likely been called up as receiving insurance. Either way, he will presumably play just a depth role while being more likely to have an impact on special teams.

Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Browns, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy managers given Johnson's injury suffered in Week 1 was thought to cause a multi-week absence. In the veteran's absence, expect Calvin Austin and Allen Robinson to split opportunities in the slot opposite outside stalwart George Pickens.
