  • Keenan Allen WR | IND

    Colts' Keenan Allen: Facing league suspension

    Allen "is facing a minimum three-game suspension" in connection with his August arrest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Allen was formally charged with two misdemeanors last week after being arrested on DUI charges in late August, and the NFL could levy a suspension of three games or more for his actions. Per the report, "Allen is not expected to miss playing time while the case proceeds through the courts."

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Should play on snap count

    McMillan (knee) is set to play Sunday against the Browns but "is not expected to have a full-time role just yet," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    McMillan was listed as questionable for Week 2 despite practicing fully all week, and although it appears he will be able to make his season debut Sunday, it seems he will not receive a full complement of snaps. Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin figure to remain the primary wideouts for the Buccaneers, with McMillan, Ted Hurst and perhaps Tez Johnson splitting the rest of the duties in some fashion.

  • Puka Nacua WR | LAR

    Rams' Puka Nacua: Looking like game-time call

    Nacua (hip) is considered by the Rams "to be a pre-game decision" for Monday's game against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Nacua sat out practice both Friday and Saturday with what was officially listed as a hip injury and what head coach Sean McVay said was "soreness in his groin," leaving his status up in the air for Week 2. Nacua was given a questionable designation, and while it seems he will have a chance to take the field Monday night, fantasy players will want to have another option at the ready in case he is unable to give it a go.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Expected to play Sunday

    Olave (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is on track to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Olave took a designation into Sunday after closing Week 2 prep with a pair of practices due to the hamstring injury he sustained during Thursday's session. According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, Olave made the trip to Baltimore with his teammates, and barring a setback in pregame warmups, he'll be formally cleared to play upon the release of the Saints' inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Underhill adds that Olave isn't expected to face any limitations in terms of snaps.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Intends to play Sunday

    McConkey (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, "has made rapid progress" and "has every intention of playing," Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

    After sitting out practice the first two days of the week, McConkey was able to sneak in a limited session Friday. Though Pelissero relays that a final decision on McConkey's status won't be made until later Sunday, fantasy managers can expect him to avoid the Chargers' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, McConkey is working his way back from a cracked rib and has improved more steadily than anticipated since suffering the injury in last weekend's season-opening loss to the Cardinals. McConkey is expected to wear a flak jacket to offer further protection for the rib Sunday, assuming he gets the green light to play, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

  • 49ers' De'Zhaun Stribling: Officially placed on IR

    The 49ers placed Stribling (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Stribling suffered what appeared to be a serious non-contact injury during the 49ers' Week 1 win against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, but afterward tests revealed that his left Achilles was intact, and eventually he was diagnosed with a deltoid sprain of his left ankle. After undergoing surgery, he's expected to miss roughly 10 weeks, meaning a move to IR was inevitable. At least during the initial weeks of Stribling's absence, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and KhaDarel Hodge will handle WR duties for San Francisco.

  • Dillon Bell WR | MIN

    Vikings' Dillon Bell: Elevated for Sunday

    The Vikings elevated Bell from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.

    The Vikings signed Bell to the practice squad Sept. 2 after waiving the wide receiver on cutdown day. The undrafted free agent out of Georgia has yet to play in an NFL game, but he will likely get his chance Sunday due to Jauan Jennings (personal) being unavailable for the contest.

  • Cody White WR | LV

    Raiders' Cody White: Elevated to active roster again

    The Raiders elevated White from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    White is poised to play his second consecutive game for the Raiders as a depth wide receiver. With Dont'e Thornton (undisclosed), Justin Shorter (undisclosed) and Corey Rucker (undisclosed) all on IR through Week 4 at the least, White will likely continue to suit up on game day until he is out of elevations. White played 11 offensive snaps and 14 special-teams snaps in the Raiders' Week 1 win over the Dolphins but was unable to catch his only target in the contest.

  • Jets' Omar Cooper: Officially on injured reserve

    The Jets placed Cooper (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Amanda Vogt of the team's official site reports.

    Cooper thus will miss at least the next four games after he suffered a sprained ankle in his pro debut this past Sunday in Tennessee. His next chance for game action will be a Week 6 road matchup with the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 18, and in the meantime, the Jets will operate with a receiving corps composed of Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith.

  • Lewis Bond WR | HOU

    Texans' Lewis Bond: Elevated for Sunday

    The Texans elevated Bond from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    With Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Bond will be elevated to fulfill a depth role in the Texans' wide receiver room. If Collins must miss Week 3 as well, Bond could return to the active roster once again, depending on his play in Sunday's contest. The sixth-round rookie out of Boston College will have the chance to play in his first NFL game Sunday.
