Jones (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston, is expected to be active for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Jones' ankle issue kept him from suiting up Week 4, but Jacksonville's No. 2 wideout is expected to be back on the field Sunday. The veteran is coming off three limited practice sessions this week, and head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Jones is "fine." In any case, Jones' status will be made official 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Gage (back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Buccaneers are hopeful about both Gage and Julio Jones (knee) suiting up Sunday. With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both back atop the depth chart, though, the team could afford an absence from Gage if he needs a week off to recover. Gage has surpassed 30 receiving yards in just one of four appearances on the season.

St. Brown (ankle), who's listed as questionable, is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

St. Brown was sidelined for the team's Week 4 loss to Seattle due to the ankle injury and didn't practice this week until logging a limited session Friday. The Lions may elect to be cautious with their top wideout and hold him out until after the team's Week 6 bye, similar to what they are doing with running back D'Andre Swift. Regardless, if St. Brown is available, he's a must-start after his hot start to the campaign, so fantasy managers should confirm his status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff before setting lineups.

Reynolds (ankle), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Reynolds played through the same ankle injury in Week 4, when he finished with seven receptions for 81 yards and a score against Seattle. DJ Chark is set to miss another week, while Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable. As such, if Reynolds is indeed available, he could garner another hefty target count. However, despite the optimism, fantasy managers should still confirm his status ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff before locking him into lineups.

Higgins (ankle), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Higgins left the team's Week 4 win over the Dolphins briefly after picking up an ankle injury, but he returned to the contest and finished with seven receptions for 124 yards and one touchdown. Barring a setback, the third-year wideout appears in line to suit up for Sunday's primetime matchup, but fantasy managers should still confirm his status ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Moore (knee), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Moore was sidelined for the first three games of the campaign due to a hamstring injury but made his season debut in Week 4, playing 86 percent of the team's offensive snaps. However, he landed back on the injury report Thursday with a knee issue and was limited during the final two practices ahead of Week 5. Regardless, he appears in line to be available for a second straight contest, but fantasy managers should still confirm his status ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Waddle (groin), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Waddle logged back-to-back limited sessions after not practicing Wednesday due to a groin injury and was listed as questionable for Week 5. However, the second-year wideout and Tyreek Hill (quadriceps), who's also listed as questionable, are both expected to be available for Teddy Bridgewater's first start in the absence of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). Regardless, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Waddle's status ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff before locking him into lineups.

Hill (quadriceps), who's listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to a quadriceps injury and was listed as questionable for Week 5. However, the speedster, along with fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle, are both expected to be available for Teddy Bridgewater, who'll make his first start of the season in place of Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). Despite the optimism, fantasy mangers should still confirm Hill's status ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Nailor (hamstring) is expected to be inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Nailor landed on the injury report Thursday and logged back-to-back limited sessions due to a hamstring injury. The Vikings elevated Dan Chisena from the practice squad Saturday, so he'll likely operate as a depth option behind Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, K.J. Osborn and Jalen Reagor.

The Rams elevated Harris on Saturday from their practice squad to their active roster for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Harris has been elevated from the Rams' practice squad for the third and final time, meaning he'll have to be signed to the active roster if he's going to make any appearances for Los Angeles beyond Week 5. The second-year wideout has played primarily on special teams during his first two appearances and figures to garner a similar role against Dallas on Sunday.
