  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Questionable for MNF

    Agholor (hamstring) is listed a questionable for Monday night's game against the Bears.

    Agholor, who was inactive for the Patriots' win over the Browns last weekend, didn't practice Thursday, but he logged limited sessions Friday and Saturday, suggesting that he has a chance to play Monday. Over his first five games this season, the wideout has caught 14 of his 19 targets for 225 yards and a TD, though nine of his catches occurred in his first two outings. In any case, given the Patriots' late kickoff this week, Agholor profiles as a risky Week 7 fantasy lineup option.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Lions' DJ Chark: Lands on IR

    Chark (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Even with the bye week Chark still wasn't able to get on the practice field this week, essentially setting the stage for this designation. The speedy wide receiver won't be eligible to return until mid-November, leaving the likes of Josh Reynolds (ankle), Tom Kennedy and Kalif Raymond to take on an expanded role.

  • Randall Cobb WR | NYJ

    Packers' Randall Cobb: Placed on IR

    Cobb (ankle) has officially been placed on the Packers' injured reserve.

    No surprise here, as Cobb was expected to be sidelined for 2-to-6 weeks with an ankle injury. He will be eligible to return in four weeks. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is returning from injured reserve and is expected to see a healthy workload alongside Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs.

  • Robbie Chosen WR | WAS

    Cardinals' Robbie Anderson: Sparse usage with new team

    Anderson went without a catch on one target and played 12 of 66 offensive snaps during Thursday's 42-34 victory against the Saints.

    It marked Anderson's second matchup with the Saints this season, but it was the former Panther's first in a Cardinals uniform following his trade to the desert earlier in the week. With Marquise Brown (foot) and Antoine Wesley (hip) on injured reserve, Anderson mixed into the receiving corps behind DeAndre Hopkins (61 plays), Rondale Moore (59) and Greg Dortch (35) and ahead of A.J. Green (DNP). As he grows more accustomed to the playbook, Anderson may be able to usurp Dortch in the pecking order, but until he does his output may be sporadic or even nonexistent.

  • Rondale Moore WR | MIN

    Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Makes one catch in Week 7

    Moore caught one of two targets for 31 yards during Thursday's 42-34 win versus the Saints.

    He was on the receiving end of Kyler Murray's first pass of the game, but only one of the quarterback's final 28 throws went Moore's way. While the Cardinals swapped in DeAndre Hopkins for Marquise Brown (foot) in the receiving corps, Moore logged a typical 88 percent of the offensive snaps, but his output in four appearances this season has wavered between one and nine touches and seven to 61 yards from scrimmage in any given week. Moore should continue to be heavily utilized in Arizona's offense moving forward, but it's tough to predict when consistent production will follow, especially with Robbie Anderson also new to the mix.

  • Ihmir Smith-Marsette: Inked to practice squad by KC

    The Chiefs signed Smith-Marsette to their practice squad Friday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Smith-Marsette was waived by the Bears on Tuesday after totaling one catch on four targets for 15 yards through six games. Kansas City unquestionably has a more potent passing attack, but Smith-Marsette isn't likely to ascend far enough up the receiver depth chart to be an impactful fantasy asset, if he's able to make the active roster at all. The Chiefs may see more value in him as a kick returner, as he has both college and NFL experience in that role.

  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Texans' Chris Moore: Questionable for Sunday

    Moore (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against Las Vegas.

    Moore hurt his hip during a Week 4 loss to the Chargers and missed Week 5 prior to Houston's Week 6 bye. He didn't practice Wednesday this week but promisingly logged full sessions Thursday and Friday, so he's likely leaning on the positive side of questionable. In three contests this season, Moore has totaled eight catches on 12 targets for 108 yards and zero touchdowns.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: Cleared of injury designation

    Berrios (back) logged a full practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Berrios began the week with two limited sessions after picking up a back injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious because he was able to practice in full Friday. The kick returner and wide receiver thus will be able to participate in Sunday's contest, and he'll look to extend a two-game touchdown-scoring streak. Despite the recent success finding the end zone, Berrios has only two touches (one catch and one carry) in each of his past two contests, so he's a very risky fantasy play.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Limited in return to practice

    Agholor (hamstring) was limited at practice Friday.

    Agholor, who sat out the Patriots' Week 6 win over the Browns, didn't practice Thursday, but his return to a limited session Friday offers hope that the wideout could suit up for Monday night's 8:15 p.m. ET contest against the Bears. However, given the timing of his team's Week 7 kickoff, Agholor looks like a risky fantasy lineup option at this stage.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Coach optimistic

    Coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Lockett (hamstring) has a "really good" chance to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers despite being held out of practice all week, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

    Carroll is notorious for being overly optimistic about injuries, perhaps in an effort at gamesmanship (or not), but there's reason to believe Lockett can play without practicing, as he's an eight-year vet who has missed only one game due to injury in his career. There's also the fact he played through the same injury last week, albeit with a 2-17-0 line on five targets, and Carroll acknowledged Friday that Lockett was "a little bit hampered" in that Week 6 win over Arizona. The Chargers and Seahawks are scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, with Marquise Goodwin and Dee Eskridge the likely options to fill in at wide receiver if Lockett can't play.
