Perriman secured his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

The veteran wideout logged only four snaps overall despite the absence of Russell Gage (hamstring), but he at least made his first appearance on the stat sheet since Week 3. Perriman is likely to continue to be a fantasy afterthought as long as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are healthy, as even the absence of complementary wideouts such as Gage or Julio Jones seems to have had a negligible effect on Perriman's opportunity/production.

Diggs will likely see some of his coverage against Green Bay's Jaire Alexander on Sunday night, Grace Heidinger of the Bills' official site reports. Said the receiver: "He's definitely a competitor, he's a guy that competes at a high level, he finishes play, he's fast," Diggs said on Alexander. "So going against corners, I see the best corner every week."

Alexander usually goes up against the opponent's best receiver, something everyone is expecting when the Bills meet the Packers in Week 8. While the matchup with the reeling Packers looks juicy for Diggs managers, this is something to keep in mind. Also, as much as Green Bay is struggling, the pass defense is ranked first in the NFL, while the run defense has getting gouged on a regular basis and ranks 27th. Diggs is nearly impossible to keep down, but we also wouldn't be surprised if this turns into one of his more modest days, especially if the heavily favored Bills jump out to a big lead.

Hart (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Hart will likely miss a third straight contest due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5. He played primarily on special teams when healthy, so his absence hasn't had a major impact on Seattle's offense.

Lockett (hamstring/ribs) is a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Giants, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett is listed on the official injury report with hamstring and rib injuries, while head coach Pete Carroll said the wideout had an "oblique kind of something" crop up during Thursday's practice. Furthermore, Carroll said Lockett was held out of practice Friday, whereas the injury report says he was a limited participant (after a limited showing Wednesday and a full session Thursday). Whatever the exact details, Carroll said he considers both Lockett and DK Metcalf (knee) to be game-time decisions ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Marquise Goodwin, Dee Eskridge and Dareke Young are the replacement options if Lockett and/or Metcalf is included on the inactive list.

Adams (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after returning to a limited practice Friday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Adams missed two straight days of practice due to an illness, but the wideout's return to the field Friday has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Fortunately for those relying on Adams in Week 8 fantasy lineups, the Raiders kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, so his playing status will be confirmed prior to the first wave of NFL kickoffs this weekend.

Hollins (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

He'll take an injury designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday due to the heel issue. Hollins has yet to miss a game this season, but his production has trended down since he turned in an 8-158-1 receiving line on 11 targets Week 3 in Tennessee. In the Raiders' subsequent three contests, Hollins has combined for a 5-77-1 line on 12 targets.

Metcalf (knee) returned to a limited practice Friday and is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Giants, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Early signs pointed to Metcalf missing at least one game and quite possibly more, but head coach Pete Carroll said Friday that the team has been pleasantly surprised by the wideout's quick progress. Tyler Lockett, on the other hand, reportedly tweaked his hamstring or oblique during Thursday's practice, making him a game-time decision right alongside Metcalf ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. The Seahawks have Marquise Goodwin, Dee Eskridge and Dareke Young as fill-in options at wide receiver.

Agholor (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after practicing in a limited fashion this week.

In Monday's 33-14 loss to the Bears, Agholor logged just three of a possible 52 snaps on offense, which allowed rookie Tyquan Thornton to see added opportunities. This weekend, Kendrick Bourne is slated to rejoin the team's receiver mix, a context that clouds Agholor's fantasy upside, given that Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker are also candidates to see their share of targets.

The 49ers list Jennings (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday or Thursday, but the fact that he'll take a questionable tag into the weekend rather than being ruled out for Sunday's contest suggests that he may have demonstrated progress on some level at Friday's practice. If Jennings is able to overcome his hamstring injury and suit up Sunday, he'll be one of several 49ers pass catchers who will be tasked with replacing some of the vacated target volume that would have gone to No. 1 wideout Deebo Samuel (hamstring), who won't play against the Rams.

Bourne (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets after practicing fully Friday.

Bourne, who didn't play this past Monday against the Bears, logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday. The wideout is thus slated to suit up this weekend, though given his 11-156-0 receiving line on 14 targets through six games to date, he's not a high-percentage fantasy option.
