The Texans are willing to trade Cooks (wrist) prior to Tuesday's deadline and are listening to multiple inquiries ahead of Sunday's contest against the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cooks practiced in full Friday but is still listed as questionable for Week 8 due to a wrist injury, and ongoing trade talks could be a factor in Houston deciding whether the wideout ultimately suits up Sunday. The 29-year-old will be owed a hefty $18 million fully guaranteed next week, which has reportedly complicated discussions with teams including the Giants, Rams and Vikings, per Schefter. In addition to Cooks being listed as questionable, the Texans have downgraded Nico Collins (groin) to out versus Tennessee, potentially leaving quarterback Davis Mills with Chris Moore, Phillip Dorsett and Tyron Johnson as his top wideouts.

Washington elevated McGowan from its practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

McGowan made his NFL debut in Week 7, playing 13 total snaps (one offensive). The undrafted rookie wideout will likely see a similar role Sunday, but following the contest, he'll only be eligible for one more gameday elevation before he'll need to be signed to the active roster.

Metcalf, who is listed as questionable due to a knee injury, is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Metcalf was carted off the field during Week 7 and was initially looking at a multiple-week absence. However, the star wideout was able to log a limited practice Friday and is expected to suit up in Week 8. Regardless, it's certainly possible the Seahawks keep Metcalf on a snap count against the Giants, so fantasy managers are still encouraged to look for more updates closer to Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

Lockett, who is listed as questionable due to hamstring and rib injuries, is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Lockett was banged up during Week 8 prep, but the specifics of his injury and his participation in practice were less than clear. Regardless, it appears like Seattle, barring a setback, will not only have Lockett available but is surprisingly expected to have DK Metcalf (knee) back as well. Despite the optimistic reports, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm both wideouts' availability ahead of Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

Adams, who is listed as questionable due to an illness, is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Adams missed the first two practices of Week 8 prep due to a flu-like illness but returned as a limited participant Friday and continues to trend in the right direction Saturday. Regardless, Fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm the star wideout's availability prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Morgan (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game at Cleveland.

Morgan will miss a second consecutive game as he recovers from a lingering hamstring injury. His absence will free up even more snaps for Mike Thomas and Trent Taylor with Ja'Marr Chase already having been ruled out.

San Francisco elevated Martin from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.

Martin inked a practice-squad deal with the 49ers after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and will have his first chance to make his NFL debut after being elevated to the active roster ahead of Week 8. With Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) questionable, Martin may get involved offensively, but he's still unlikely to see a large enough role to be fantasy relevant. The undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma State caught 80 of 120 targets for 1,046 yards and 10 touchdowns during his final collegiate campaign.

San Francisco signed Snead off its practice squad Saturday.

Snead continues to bounce back and forth between the 49ers' active roster and practice squad, but he's finally secured a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of Week 8. Deebo Samuel (hamstring) has already been ruled out and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) is questionable, so it's possible the veteran Snead sees a modest offensive role against the Rams on Sunday while playing behind Brandon Aiyuk, Ray-Ray McCloud and Danny Gray.

New Orleans released Kirkwood Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

The Saints also released Kirkwood just over a week ago before re-signing him just five days later, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him make his way back onto the team in some capacity soon. If not though, he'll have to look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Houston elevated Camp from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against Tennessee.

Camp joined the Texans' practice squad after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and will have a chance to make his season debut in Week 8 after being elevated to the active roster. Nico Collins (groin) has already been ruled out and Brandin Cooks (wrist) is questionable, so it's possible Camp gets involved offensively, though he's still unlikely to crack fantasy relevance.
