Penny Hart WR | ATL
Seahawks' Penny Hart: Listed as active Sunday
Hart (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Hart, who had missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury, is back in the mix Sunday, but with the Seahawks leaning so heavily on DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, Hart -- who has just one catch for 15 yards in five games to date -- isn't a high-percentage fantasy lineup option, even with Marquise Goodwin (groin) unavailable versus Arizona.

Romeo Doubs WR | NE
Packers' Romeo Doubs: Injures ankle Sunday
Doubs (ankle) was carted to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game at Detroit, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
On the Packers' first play from scrimmage, Doubs got open on a slant route and recorded an 18-yard catch, but he was hobbled going to the sideline, where his lower right leg was examined in the medical tent before he left the field entirely. He officially was deemed questionable to return due to an ankle issue, but if he's unable to, Green Bay's available wide receivers will be Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Christian Watson, Amari Rodgers and Samori Toure.

Odell Beckham Jr. WR | MIN
Odell Beckham: Nearing full medical clearance
Beckham (knee) is expected to be "fully cleared" to practice by the end of the week, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
With Beckham's rehab from the torn ACL he suffered in the Rams' Feb. 13 Super Bowl win over the Bengals nearly behind him, the 30-year-old receiver is expected to soon turn his focus to signing with a team. According to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Beckham will likely sign with a team by early December, and he should have an active market with the Rams, Giants, Bills, Packers, Chiefs and Cowboys among the teams that have been linked to the wideout. No matter where he lands, Beckham may need multiple weeks of practice to get back to full speed and learn the playbook for his new team before making his 2022 debut.

Bryan Edwards WR | NO
Falcons' Bryan Edwards: Not playing Sunday
Edwards (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Chargers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Edwards was also a healthy scratch in Week 3 and 4. He'll work to earn the opportunity to suit up Thursday against the Panthers.
-
Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Clears protocol, playing Sunday
Watson (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
After exiting the Packers' Week 8 loss to the Bills upon entering the concussion protocol, Watson sat out practice Wednesday before advancing to limited participation Thursday and Friday. Watson's active status implies that he cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and some point after Friday's practice, so he's not expected to face any limitations Sunday. However, the rookie second-round pick has handled a depth role for much of the season and may not be a candidate to see many of Aaron Rodgers' targets behind fellow receivers Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Sammy Watkins.
-
Jamal Agnew WR | ATL
Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Cleared for action Sunday
Agnew (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
After having missed each of the Jaguars previous two contests due to a knee issue, Agnew has been medically cleared to play in Sunday's matchup versus Las Vegas. The versatile 27-year-old is slated to operate as the team's No. 4 wide receiver behind Christian Kirk, Zay Jones and Marvin Jones, while he's also expected to serve as Jacksonville's kick and punt returner in Week 9.
-
Allen Lazard WR | NYJ
Packers' Allen Lazard: Back in action Sunday
Lazard (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Lazard couldn't advance beyond limited participation in practice this week, but he demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from the shoulder injury that sidelined him for last week's loss to the Bills to gain clearance to return to the lineup. He'll presumably step back in as the Packers' No. 1 receiver, a role that has translated to an average of 4.3 receptions for 56.6 yards per game. He'll have a good chance at clearing both of those averages while he faces off against a vulnerable Detroit secondary.
-
Velus Jones Jr. RB | SEA
Bears' Velus Jones: Healthy scratch
Jones (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Jones will be inactive for the first time since Week 3, though his absences early in the season were due to injury. He's now lost his role with both N'Keal Harry and new addition Chase Claypool active to take on Miami. Jones' absence is likely to be felt most on special teams, where Khalil Herbert and Trestan Ebner are candidates to take over as return specialists.
-
DeAndre Carter WR | DET
Chargers' DeAndre Carter: Suits up Sunday
Carter (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Given that Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (knee) are inactive Sunday, Joshua Palmer and Carter figure to lead the Chargers' Week 9 wideout corps. With increased opportunities likely on tap for Carter in that scenario, the 29-year-old - who has caught 19 passes on 28 targets for 229 yards and a TD in seven games to date -- represents a fantasy lineup option for those who roster Allen or Williams or are seeking short-term WR help, with six NFL teams on bye.
-
Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Lions' Josh Reynolds: Inactive Sunday
Reynolds (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Reynolds has dealt with ankle and knee injuries so far this season, but neither of them impacted his snap count on game day, as he ranged between 72 and 91 percent of the offensive plays in the Lions' first seven contests. Now with a back issue in tow, he managed just one limited session during Week 9 prep and won't be available to the offense Sunday. Detroit instead will turn to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond, Tom Kennedy, Stanley Berryhill and Brandon Zylstra at wide receiver.
