Bourne (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Bourne, who practiced in a limited fashion this week, will give it a go Sunday, but he profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option, while sharing the Patriots' wide receiver looks with Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor and N'Keal Harry, to a lesser degree. In last Sunday's 54-13 win over the Jets, Bourne - who is averaging four targets and 50 receiving yards a game to date -- caught all four of the passes thrown his way for 68 yards, while adding a 25-yard TD toss to Agholor.

Reagor was forced out of Sunday's game against the Lions with an ankle injury.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Reagor ran twice for 21 yards and caught one pass for zero yards. In his absence, DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins will head the Eagles' Week 8 wideout corps.

Grant (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Grant was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, but he was able to log full practices Thursday and Friday. The 29-year-old wideout isn't expected to be a factor for Chicago's offense Sunday, as he has recorded just two catches on the season.

Perriman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Perriman continues to draw healthy scratches when the Bears' receiving corps is healthy. Darnell Mooney and Allen Robinson should serve as the team's top wideout in Week 8.

Arcega-Whiteside (back) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Lions, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Arcega-Whiteside injured his back making a special-teams tackle and had to leave the Eagles' Week 7 matchup with the Raiders early, but he will return to action in Week 8. However, the 2019 second-round pick is unlikely to be involved in the Eagles' offensive offense game plan, as he's yet to have a pass thrown his way this season.

Beckham (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Beckham, who has been working through an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder, practiced in a limited fashion this past week and is now in line to suit up Sunday. In the process, he figures to play a key role in the Browns' Week 8 passing attack alongside fellow starting WR Jarvis Landry, while Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) will miss the tilt. Bolstering Beckham's overall playing context heading into the game is that both starting QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) and RB Nick Chubb (calf), who sat out the team's Week 7 win over the Broncos, are back in action. In that contest, Beckham caught two of his six targets for 23 yards, with Case Keenum filling in for Mayfield.

Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Parker, who practiced in a limited fashion this past week, thus returns the Dolphins' lineup after missing the team's last three games. As long as he avoids any in-game setbacks, Parker should play a key role in Miami's Week 8 passing attack alongside Jaylen Waddle, given that fellow wideouts Will Fuller (finger) and Preston Williams are both sidelined. In the mix to log complementary WR targets from QB Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday are Mack Hollins, Isaiah Ford and Albert Wilson. In the four games Parker has played in this season, he's averaged eight targets and 60.5 receiving yards.

Ridley won't play Sunday against the Panthers while he attends to a personal matter.

Ridley wasn't listed on the injury report all week, but the personal issue will prevent him from suiting up for Sunday's divisional contest. Tajae Sharpe will start in his place, while Russell Gage and tight end Kyle Pitts should see increased target shares in his absence.

Davis (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Davis was added to the injury report Thursday and later listed as doubtful after missing Friday's practice. His absence should free up playing time for some combination of Elijah Moore, Denzel Mims and Keelan Cole, while Jamison Crowder figures to get most of the slot targets from backup quarterback Mike White. A Thursday game in Week 9 (against the Colts) increases the odds of Davis (and starting QB Zach Wilson) missing additional time.

Parker (shoulder/hamstring), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Parker has missed the Dolphins' last three games, but after logging a week of limited practices, he appears poised to return to action. Assuming he's cleared ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Parker could be primed for a key role in Miami's passing offense alongside Jaylen Waddle, with fellow wideouts Will Fuller (finger) and Preston Williams (undisclosed) unavailable.
