The Chiefs elevated Powell from their practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Powell was drafted by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2021 Draft, but he'll have a chance to make his NFL debut in Week 11 of the 2022 campaign. Kansas City recently placed Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on IR and already ruled out JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) for Week 11, so Powell and fellow practice-squad wideout Marcus Kemp figure to provide depth behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore.

The Chiefs elevated Kemp from their practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Kemp will be active for the third time this season. He's yet to see a target across six offensive snaps, but he may see an increased role with JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) out and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on IR.

Williams (ankle) remains officially listed as questionable, but he's expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.

Williams is on track to suit up for the first time since Week 7 due to an ankle injury, but fantasy managers should still confirm his status before locking him into lineups. Unfortunately, the Chargers don't play until 8:20 p.m. ET, so if Williams is a surprise scratch, there'll be few replacement options available to managers.

Denver elevated Johnson from its practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

The undrafted rookie out of UCF was signed to Denver's practice squad in mid-October and will be active for his first NFL game in Week 11. Johnson flashed during training camp and caught four passes for 64 yards during the Broncos' preseason opener, but he suffered a high-ankle sprain during the team's final exhibition game. Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) have both been ruled out and Kendall Hinton (shoulder) is questionable, leaving Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and Johnson as the top healthy wideouts behind Courtland Sutton.

Detroit elevated Berryhill from its practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

Berryhill will be active for a fourth straight game. He's played primarily on special teams in his other three appearances and hasn't seen a target yet. Josh Reynolds (back) has been ruled out, but the Lions will have DJ Chark available for the first time since Week 3, leaving Berryhill buried on the offensive depth chart once again.

Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Hopkins was a limited participant in practice both Friday and Saturday, which would seem to indicate the veteran will be available in the important divisional contest. Far more concerning for the Cardinals is the possible absence of quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring), who is also listed as questionable having registered three days of limited participation in practice. Murray's status, along with the possible return of Marquise Brown (foot) off injured reserve, appear to be the far more complicating factors toward Hopkins' fantasy value than his availability Monday, though Hopkins did put up a 10-98-0 line with Colt McCoy under center last week.

Doss was waived by the Chargers on Saturday.

Doss' stint on the active roster was short lived. With the imminent return of Mike Williams (knee) and Keenan Allen (hamstring), the Chargers opted to cut the long-time practice squad member. It wouldn't be surprising to see Doss return to the team's practice squad at some point this year.

Chark (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

The deep-threat specialist should return to the starting lineup with Josh Reynolds (back) out for a third straight game. It's been a disappointing Lions tenure for Chark as the 26-year-old had just seven receptions for 98 yards in three games before suffering an ankle injury that kept him out of the subsequent six contests. The imminent debut of rookie Jameson Williams (knee) clouds the rest-of-season projections for Chark, but he should be poised for a relatively intriguing Week 11 outing against an inconsistent Giants defense.

Reynolds (back) was downgraded to out and will not play Sunday against the Giants.

Reynolds practiced both Thursday and Friday, but it wasn't enough for the 27-year-old to make a return from his two-game absence. Expect Kalif Raymond and Tom Kennedy to once again fill in for the injured wide receiver.

Harris signed a contract with the Rams on Saturday.

Harris has frequently bounced between the practice squad and active roster this season, but with Cooper Kupp (ankle) sidelined for an extended period, the second-year receiver will get a coveted roster spot. Harris has played special teams for the majority of the season, and that's not expected to change in the coming weeks.
