Kupp is expected to be day-to-day with an ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Kupp picked up the ankle injury late in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, but he appears to have avoided a significant issue. The superstar wideout's participation during practices ahead of Week 9 should provide further clarity on Kupp's availability, but the Rams likely will be extremely cautious with him moving forward.

McCloud caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Rams.

McCloud got the start alongside Brandon Aiyuk after Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) were forced to miss Sunday's contest. The return specialist logged 30 snaps on offense (57 percent) and did his thing on special teams (100 yards on five combined returns). McCloud's usage in the passing game didn't increase despite the elevated role, all but confirming that last week's career fantasy day was an outlier. The 26-year-old should resume his backup role when the 49ers return healthier from the upcoming bye week.

Agholor logged 19 of a possible 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Even with DeVante Parker (knee) leaving the contest after just one play on offense, Agholor -- who caught his only target Sunday for two yards -- was out-snapped by Jakobi Meyers (63), Tyquan Thornton (61) and Kendrick Bourne (54). Until or unless he starts matching the level of playing time he saw at the beginning of the season, Agholor is off the fantasy radar.

Toure was targeted four times and caught one pass for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

Toure was shut out for most of Sunday's contest, but he did reach the end zone for the first time as a professional late in the final frame. With a credited start and a score on his ledger over the last two weeks, his stock is on the rise a bit. However, even with the Packers shorthanded at his position, Toure did not play more than 15 snaps in either contest, so he's going to need to spend more time on the field to have a chance to be a fantasy factor.

Bourne was on the field for 54 of a possible 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Despite being out there for 69 percent of the Patriots' plays on offense, Bourne didn't catch a pass Sunday, while recording just one target for a third consecutive contest. Until additional volume heads his way on a regular basis, Bourne is off the fantasy radar.

Thornton, who was on the field for 61 of a possible 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets, caught one of his two targets in the contest for 13 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Thornton's season-high playing time total was the result of DeVante Parker (knee) being forced out of Sunday's contest after one snap. With Parker potentially being unavailable for the Patriots' Week 9 contest against the Colts, Thornton could continue to see added work this coming weekend, but until the rookie wideout sees steady volume he'll be a speculative fantasy lineup option.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Monday that Toney (hamstring) "is healthy now," Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

Toney suited up just twice for the Giants this season due to a lingering hamstring injury before being traded to the Chiefs, but he appears to be healthy enough to start practicing with Kansas City on Wednesday. While Reid's comments are an encouraging update, it's still unclear if Toney will be able to learn the playbook quick enough to even be active for Week 9, let alone demand a high target share. Regardless, Kansas City paid a hefty price to acquire the dynamic wideout's services, so they're expected to get him involved when he's up to speed with Reid's offense, though where he'll land on the depth chart remains to be seen.

Cole caught two of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

Cole was mostly uninvolved until the Raiders' final drive when he saw four of his five targets from backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham in garbage time. Cole figures to remain behind Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and Mack Hollins in the pecking order at wide receiver against the Jaguars in Week 9.

Parker (knee) suffered a sprain during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets and is not expected to miss extended time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Parker would be expected to miss only one game if he does miss time, per Rapoport, as the Patriots will have a bye following Week 9's matchup against Indianapolis. Whether or not Parker does miss Week 9 will likely come down to what he's able to do in practices this week, so the 29-year-old wideout's situation will warrant monitoring. Tyquan Thornton, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne would stand to handle increased work behind Jakobi Meyers if Parker can't suit up versus the Colts.

Pickens failed to secure any of his three targets during the Steelers' 35-13 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Although Pickens was on the field for 86 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps Sunday, he was held without a reception for the first time in his career. The rookie second-rounder had several productive games over the last few weeks after Kenny Pickett was named the Steelers' starting quarterback, and Pickens will face a more favorable defense against the Saints on Nov. 13 following Pittsburgh's Week 9 bye.
