Adams caught one of five targets for three yards and rushed once for a loss of a yard in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

Adams was completely neutralized by New Orleans' secondary, resulting in his worst performance of the season. In fact, Adams' mere three receiving yards marked the second-lowest total of his decorated nine-year career. Following such an uncharacteristic outing, Adams at least has a good chance to rebound while facing the Jaguars in Week 9.

Olave caught five of seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Raiders.

Olave trailed only tailback Alvin Kamara in all major receiving categories. The rookie has now topped 50 yards through the air in six straight outings, showing impressive consistency despite a fluctuating Saints quarterback position. In Week 9, Olave is slated to make his first Monday night appearance, as New Orleans plays host to Baltimore.

Alexander is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins with an ankle injury.

Alexander has bounced back and forth between Detroit's active roster and practice squad this season, and he caught his first pass of the season for seven yards and returned one kickoff for 17 yards before exiting against Miami. With the rookie sidelined, expect Justin Jackson to handle the Lions' kickoff-return duties Sunday.

Brown (groin) is inactive for Sunday's Week 8 clash against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post reports.

The speedy second-year wideout will join rookie Jahan Dotson (hamstring) on the sideline, which leaves Taylor Heinicke short-handed going into what is already a tough matchup against the Colts defense. In Brown's absence, Curtis Samuel, Cam Sims and even tight end Logan Thomas should all be in line for a bump in opportunity behind top target Terry McLaurin.

Powell (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

In the Rams' 24-10 win over the Panthers in Week 6, Powell hauled in four of his five targets for 27 yards and rushed three times for 13 yards, but with Van Jefferson off IR and back in the team's wideout mix Sunday, Powell's volume could take a hit in Week 8, thus making him a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Jennings (hamstring) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game at the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

Jennings managed one limited session in practice during Week 8 prep, but it wasn't enough to play through his hamstring issue. The 49ers also are without top wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) on Sunday, so Brandon Aiyuk will be joined in the lineup by some combination of Ray-Ray McCloud, Danny Gray, Willie Snead and Tay Martin at the position. Jennings will use a Week 9 bye to heal up for the team's next game Sunday, Nov. 13 against the Chargers.

Hart (hamstring) was ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants.

Hart was deemed doubtful heading into this contest with a lingering hamstring injury, which will sideline him for the third game in a row Sunday. The 5-foot-8 receiver caught just one pass for 15 yards on nine offensive snaps over the first five weeks of the season.

Lockett (hamstring/ribs) is active for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

For a second week in a row, Lockett will play through health concerns, one of which cropped up during Thursday's practice. Coach Pete Carroll called it "an oblique kind of something" Friday, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site, which made Lockett a game-time decision for Week 8. Lockett and DK Metcalf (knee) were treated the same way Sunday, and both wide receivers are available against New York's 15th-ranked pass defense (211 yards per game).

Metcalf (knee) is listed as active Sunday versus the Giants.

There was a belief Metcalf would miss some time after getting carted off the field last Sunday at the Chargers. However, X-rays were returned negative and surgery was ruled out on his knee, he proceeded to log one limited practice Friday, and a game-time decision turned into active status for the fourth-year pro. The Seahawks thus will operate with usual starting wide receivers Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (hamstring) -- the latter of whom also was questionable for Week 8 -- against New York's 15th-ranked pass defense (211 yards per game).

Parker (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Parker suffered a knee injury on the Patriots' first offensive play and was quickly deemed questionable to return. The veteran receiver was ruled out during halftime and won't return to Sunday's contest. In Parker's absence, Jakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne will operate as Mac Jones' top wideouts.
