DK Metcalf WR | PIT
Seahawks' DK Metcalf: In line to play Week 8
Metcalf, who is listed as questionable due to a knee injury, is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Metcalf was carted off the field during Week 7 and was initially looking at a multiple-week absence. However, the star wideout was able to log a limited practice Friday and is expected to suit up in Week 8. Regardless, it's certainly possible the Seahawks keep Metcalf on a snap count against the Giants, so fantasy managers are still encouraged to look for more updates closer to Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Expected to play Sunday
Lockett, who is listed as questionable due to hamstring and rib injuries, is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Lockett was banged up during Week 8 prep, but the specifics of his injury and his participation in practice were less than clear. Regardless, it appears like Seattle, barring a setback, will not only have Lockett available but is surprisingly expected to have DK Metcalf (knee) back as well. Despite the optimistic reports, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm both wideouts' availability ahead of Sunday's 4:25 PM ET kickoff.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Raiders' Davante Adams: Expected to play Sunday
Adams, who is listed as questionable due to an illness, is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Adams missed the first two practices of Week 8 prep due to a flu-like illness but returned as a limited participant Friday and continues to trend in the right direction Saturday. Regardless, Fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm the star wideout's availability prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Stanley Morgan WR | TEN
Bengals' Stanley Morgan: Won't play Monday night
Morgan (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game at Cleveland.
Morgan will miss a second consecutive game as he recovers from a lingering hamstring injury. His absence will free up even more snaps for Mike Thomas and Trent Taylor with Ja'Marr Chase already having been ruled out.

Tay Martin WR | DET
49ers' Tay Martin: Gets bumped to active roster
San Francisco elevated Martin from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Martin inked a practice-squad deal with the 49ers after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and will have his first chance to make his NFL debut after being elevated to the active roster ahead of Week 8. With Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) questionable, Martin may get involved offensively, but he's still unlikely to see a large enough role to be fantasy relevant. The undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma State caught 80 of 120 targets for 1,046 yards and 10 touchdowns during his final collegiate campaign.

Willie Snead WR | MIA
49ers' Willie Snead: Signs with San Fran
San Francisco signed Snead off its practice squad Saturday.
Snead continues to bounce back and forth between the 49ers' active roster and practice squad, but he's finally secured a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of Week 8. Deebo Samuel (hamstring) has already been ruled out and Jauan Jennings (hamstring) is questionable, so it's possible the veteran Snead sees a modest offensive role against the Rams on Sunday while playing behind Brandon Aiyuk, Ray-Ray McCloud and Danny Gray.
-
Keith Kirkwood WR | BAL
Keith Kirkwood: Parts ways with Saints
New Orleans released Kirkwood Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
The Saints also released Kirkwood just over a week ago before re-signing him just five days later, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him make his way back onto the team in some capacity soon. If not though, he'll have to look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Jalen Camp WR | CLE
Texans' Jalen Camp: Gets call to active roster
Houston elevated Camp from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against Tennessee.
Camp joined the Texans' practice squad after failing to make the team's initial 53-man roster and will have a chance to make his season debut in Week 8 after being elevated to the active roster. Nico Collins (groin) has already been ruled out and Brandin Cooks (wrist) is questionable, so it's possible Camp gets involved offensively, though he's still unlikely to crack fantasy relevance.
-
Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Out for divisional battle
Collins (groin) was downgraded Saturday and will not play Sunday against the Titans.
Collins didn't practice all week due to a groin injury, but there still was some hope the second-year starter would be able to suit up Sunday. With Collins sidelined, Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore could see an increased role, and that's without the possible absence of Brandin Cooks, who is also questionable for Sunday's contest due to a wrist injury (and a flurry of trade rumors to boot).

Stanley Berryhill III WR | DET
Lions' Stanley Berryhill: Could make season debut
Detroit elevated Berryhill from its practice squad to the active roster Saturday for Sunday's matchup against Miami.
Berryhill joined the Lions' practice squad in mid-October after being cut by Arizona and will have a chance to make his season debut in Week 8 after being elevated to the active roster. Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) is questionable, but even if Detroit is without its top wideout, it's unlikely Berryhill sees a large enough offensive role to be fantasy relevant.
