The Cowboys list Cooper (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, but he's expected to be available to play, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Cooper and fellow starting wideout CeeDee Lamb (ankle) will both take designations into the weekend, though neither receiver appears at major risk of sitting out the contest. Of the two, Cooper actually looks to be in better health, as he turned in a trio of limited practices this week, while Lamb sat out Wednesday before being listed as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. Assuming he suits up Sunday, Cooper should benefit from the return of Dak Prescott, who sat out last week's win over the Vikings with a calf strain. Cooper was still able to produce in Week 8 with Cooper Rush under center, delivering an 8-122-1 receiving line on 13 targets.

Brown, who practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday, was added to the Titans' Week 9 injury report as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Rams after missing practice Friday with a knee issue.

On the plus side for the Titans, fellow wideout Julio Jones (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation heading into the weekend, but given that he was a late addition to the team's injury report, Brown's status is worth monitoring as Sunday night's 8:20 ET kickoff approaches. Added context regarding his Week 9 status should arrive late Saturday or early Sunday once national reporters like Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport issue their weekly injury updates.

The 49ers list Samuel (calf) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Though Samuel was able to practice on a limited basis Friday for the second day in a row after previously sitting out Wednesday's session, he admitted that his calf injury is feeling worse this week than it did heading into the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Bears, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Samuel proceeded to churn out six receptions for 171 yards on nine targets last week, so even if he's at less than 100 percent heading into the matchup with the Cardinals, fantasy mangers should still feel good about including him in lineups. To that end, David Lombardi of The Athletic relays that Samuel seemingly has a "solid chance" to play, though fantasy managers will need to confirm he's avoided the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Brown (knee) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Rams. Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

If he's able to go Sunday, he'll work in tandem with fellow starting wideout Julio Jones, who does not carry a Week 9 injury designation. The Titans figure to lean heavily on the duo -- when they are both healthy -- in the coming weeks, with star running back Derrick Henry on IR and out indefinitely with a foot injury.

Lamb (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos but is expected to play, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Along with Lamb, fellow starting wideout Amari Cooper (hamstring) is listed as questionable, but neither player looks at major risk of missing the Week 9 contest. After sitting out Thursday's practice, Lamb took part in Friday's walk-through session, and he's expected to be on the field again Saturday for an unofficial practice. Assuming he avoids the inactive list, Lamb will have the luxury of working with Dak Prescott, who enters the weekend without an injury designation after sitting out last week's win over the Vikings with a calf injury.

Adams (illness) confirmed that he'll play Sunday in Kansas City after the Packers reinstated him from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

After testing positive for the virus Oct. 25 and sitting out the Packers' Week 8 win over the Cardinals, Adams cleared all health and safety protocols Thursday and rejoined the team for practice, though he appeared to be mostly limited to conditioning work, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Adams was likely able to ramp up his activity Friday, and he expressed confidence that he'll be good to go Sunday, even though he experienced headaches and body chills while he battled the virus. While the star wideout looks like a strong fantasy option Week 9 against a hapless Chiefs pass defense, Adams' outlook is less bright than usual with Jordan Love stepping in under first center for his first NFL start in place of Aaron Rodgers (illness), who is ineligible to play this week after testing positive for the virus Wednesday.

The Dolphins placed Parker (shoulder/hamstring) on injured reserve Friday.

With Parker now officially in line to miss at least three games and Will Fuller (finger) still on IR, the Dolphins are left with Jaylen Waddle, Albert Wilson, Preston Williams, Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford as their current healthy wideouts.

Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is expected to be placed on IR by the Dolphins, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Look for the move to become official later Friday, but in the wake of an injury setback, Parker is now on track to miss the Dolphins' next three games. In his anticipated absence, Jaylen Waddle, Albert Wilson, Preston Williams, Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford are the team's current healthy wideout options.

Harry (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Harry was added to the injury report Friday, which suggests the injury may have occurred in practice this week. His status for this clash of defensive-minded opponents is unlikely to cause much of a stir in the fantasy realm either way, as New England's disappointing 2019 first-round pick hasn't totaled more than 30 receiving yards in a game this season.

Atlanta placed Ridley (personal) on the reserve/non-football injury list Friday.

The transaction means that Ridley won't be eligible to play for the next three weeks, making the Falcons' Nov. 28 game against the Jaguars the earliest possible return date for the wideout. Whether Ridley returns to action when first eligible Week 12 is uncertain, as the Falcons intend to give him as much time off as he needs after he acknowledged in a post on his personal Twitter account Oct. 31 that he's taking a break from football to focus on his mental well-being.
