Jordan Whittington WR | LAR
Rams' Jordan Whittington: Active Sunday
Whittington (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Whittington logged a limited session Friday before being listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. With his Week 10 availability confirmed, Whittington will continue to work behind the Rams' clear-cut top WRs, Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. In that role, Whittington has recorded a 12/121/0 receiving line on 17 targets in eight games, a pace that keeps him off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Back in Sunday's contest
Slayton (hamstring) returned to Sunday's game in Chicago, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Slayton paid a visit to the locker in the second quarter due to a hamstring injury but was able to reenter the contest after halftime. He'll look to build upon the three catches (on three targets) for 85 yards that he put together before his exit.

Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA
Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Set for Seahawks debut
Shaheed is active for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
Just five days removed from being dealt from New Orleans to Seattle for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks, Shaheed will make his Seahawks debut and may be heavily involved immediately with fellow WRs Tory Horton (groin/shin) and Jake Bobo (calf) inactive and Dareke Young (quadriceps) on injured reserve. Shaheed's competition for reps behind clear No. 1 option Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be Cooper Kupp, Cody White and Ricky White. In nine appearances with the Saints this season before the trade, Shaheed gathered in 44 of 66 targets for 499 yards and two touchdowns.

Tory Horton WR | SEA
Seahawks' Tory Horton: Sitting out Week 10
Horton (groin/shin) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.
Horton opened Week 10 prep as a full participant and with a groin injury Wednesday, but he then didn't practice Thursday and Friday as a shin issue was added to the practice report, leaving the rookie fifth-round pick doubtful to play this weekend. He'll now miss the first game of his career, and with Jake Bobo (calf) also inactive and Dareke Young (quadriceps) on injured reserve, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, newcomer Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, Cody White and Ricky White will be the Seahawks' available wide receivers Sunday.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Available in Week 10
Kupp (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Kupp sat out the Seahawks' Week 9 win at Washington due to hamstring and heel injuries. He then didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough before being limited at Thursday's practice and full in Friday's session. A questionable designation ensued for Week 10 action, and dueling reports Saturday evening were positive (via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com) and more uncertain (per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network) for Kupp's ability to play Sunday. Now that Kupp's status has been clarified, he'll be among Seattle's available wide receivers behind No. 1 Jaxon Smith-Njigba along with newcomer Rashid Shaheed, Cody White and the elevated Ricky White with Tory Horton (groin/shin) and Jake Bobo (calf) inactive and Dareke Young (quadriceps) on injured reserve.

Xavier Weaver WR | ARI
Cardinals' Xavier Weaver: Won't play Week 10
Weaver (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
An ankle issue limited Weaver in practice during Week 10 prep, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's NFC West tilt. Greg Dortch will serve as the Cardinals' primary returner on kickoffs and punts in Weaver's absence.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Injures hamstring Sunday
Slayton suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Chicago, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton went to the locker room in the second quarter before the Bears deemed him questionable to return. At the time of his exit, he'd notched three catches (on three targets) for 85 yards. The Giants currently are left with Wan'Dale Robinson, Ray-Ray McCloud, Gunner Olszewski and Jalin Hyatt as their available and healthy wide receivers.

Michael Pittman WR | PIT
Colts' Michael Pittman: Limited to two catches Sunday
Pittman brought in both targets for 19 yards in the Colts' 31-25 overtime win over the Falcons in Berlin on Sunday.
Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce served as Daniel Jones' top two targets Sunday, leaving Pittman in an unfamiliar tertiary role. The veteran's yardage total was a season-low figure, as was his target tally, but the quiet performance can very comfortably be labeled an outlier considering Pittman's typical body of work. Pittman should be in line for a much busier afternoon in a Week 12 road showdown against the Chiefs following a Week 11 bye.

Alec Pierce WR | IND
Colts' Alec Pierce: Gets into end zone in win
Pierce brought in four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 31-25 overtime victory against the Falcons in Berlin on Sunday.
Pierce finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Colts behind Tyler Warren while also catching Daniel Jones' one touchdown pass of the day from 37 yards out in the first quarter. It was the fourth-year pro's first score of the season, and Pierce now has at least 69 receiving yards in four consecutive contests. The 2022 second-round pick is enjoying his most consistent season yet, as he heads into the Week 11 bye having already posted a 28-585-1 receiving line through eight games with 10 catches of 20-plus yards.
