  • Scott Miller WR | PIT

    Steelers' Scotty Miller: Won't play Sunday

    Miller (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    The Bowling Green product downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday night. Miller has played 69 offensive snaps through six games this season, catching one of two targets for nine yards. While he's sidelined in Week 8, Ben Skowronek could get more opportunities as a receiver.

  • Jalen Nailor WR | LV

    Vikings' Jalen Nailor: No receptions in loss

    Nailor did not have a reception on his only target in Thursday's loss at the Chargers.

    Nailor played on 34 of the offense's 49 snaps, which was in line with his usual playing time as the No. 3 receiver. However, he didn't factor into the passing game as there were few downfield passes as Carson Wentz had little time to throw (five sacks) amid an injury-plagued offensive line. Nailor is prone to low output games when the offense struggles, considering Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson draw the bulk of the targets.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Recovered from illness

    Hopkins (illness) practiced without limitations Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Hopkins will be available Sunday, and he could be joined by Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who is listed as questionable but appears to be tracking toward returning after putting in a full practice Friday. Hopkins began his Ravens tenure with a two-game touchdown streak but hasn't recorded more than two receptions in a game this season.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Cleared after limited practice

    Jeudy (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Jeudy remained limited at practice Friday after a DNP on Wednesday and capped session Thursday, but he evidently showed Cleveland's staff enough to avoid a Week 8 injury designation. He has caught only 22 of 52 targets for 257 yards this season, with both poor quarterback play and Jeudy's own drops contributing to his underwhelming stat line.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Cleared for Sunday

    Diggs (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing fully Friday.

    Diggs was limited Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a chest issue, but the wideout's full participation in Friday's session clears the way for him to maintain his key pass-catching role in New England's offense. Through seven games thus far this season, Diggs leads his team in targets (44), catches (39) and receiving yards (456), a pace that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar Week 8.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Good to go

    Moore (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

    Also listed with a hip injury last week, Moore ended up handling an 87 percent snap share and 93 percent route share in a win over the Saints, catching three of five targets for 43 yards in the process. His fantasy production has been hugely disappointing this year, but there's been no hint of it costing Moore snaps/routes.

  • Emeka Egbuka WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Avoids injury designation

    Egbuka (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at New Orleans, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Egbuka played through the same injury in a 24-9 loss at Detroit on Monday, catching four of 12 targets for 58 yards while leading Tampa's WRs in snap share (76 percent) and route share (81 percent). He could get even more playing time this week, especially after upgrading to full practice participation Friday. Fellow wideout Mike Evans (collarbone) is expected to miss most of the rest of the season, with Chris Godwin (fibula) out at least through a Week 9 bye.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Cleared for action

    Slayton (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Giants coach Brian Daboll hinted at this Friday morning when he told reporters that Slayton looked good during practice the past two days. Slayton should jump right back in as a starter, as the Giants don't have much else besides Wan'Dale Robinson at wide receiver.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Vikings' Adam Thielen: No receptions in loss

    Thielen did not have a reception on his only target in Thursday's loss to the Chargers.

    Thielen has arguably failed to secure more catchable balls than he has receptions (five) this season, as the ball thrown his way could have been listed as a drop. He played on just 12 of the offense's 49 snaps despite the team falling behind early, which doesn't bode well for his future usage.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Cleared to play Week 8

    Olave (ankle) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Saints coach Kellen More preempted the final injury report, telling reporters Friday that none of his injured players will have injury designations. Olave is coming off a two-TD performance Week 7 in Chicago, where his dominant volume finally translated to big-time production, though it was actually a down week for him targets-wise (seven). He got double-digit looks in five of the Saints' first six games of the season.
