Diggs will not face Stephon Gilmore of the Patriots this week after the cornerback was determined to be out for Sunday's game, as reported by Field Yates of ESPN.

Diggs will still have to compete with what's expected to be a rainy, windy day in Buffalo, all to go with Bill Belichick's propensity to shut down an opponent's top weapon, which is clearly Diggs this season. That said, it's probably not advisable to consider sitting the AFC's leading receiver, who will no longer have to find ways to free himself from the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

The Buccaneers have cleared Miller (hip/groin) to play in Monday's game against the Giants.

Miller practiced in full Saturday following consecutive days of limited participation. He seems to have avoided any setbacks and is now set to take the field Monday. With Chris Godwin (finger) ruled out, Miller and Tyler Johnson figure to see plenty of snaps alongside Mike Evans at receiver.

Shepard (shoulder) is absent from the Giants' injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Shepard recorded six receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles last week following a four-game absence. However, he picked up a shoulder and toe injury in the process. Still, it looks like the team is confident in his ability to play through the issues, so look for him to take on his usual role assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Patrick (hamstring) remains a true game-time decision ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Patrick will work out before Sunday's game in order to test out his hamstring. The results of that will determine his status for Sunday's contest. If he is ultimately unable to get the green light. look for Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler and DaeSean Hamilton to fill out the Broncos' three-receiver sets.

Butler was waived by the Eagles on Saturday.

Butler was strictly a special teams player in the two games he played for Philadelphia. Expect Butler to continue developing in his new tight end position with the Eagles' practice squad should he pass through waivers.

Robinson has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Saints.

This is a bit of a surprising development considering Robinson was listed as doubtful following Friday's final practice report, but the star wideout evidently cleared concussion protocol and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest. Robinson was held out of practice all week and the team only "expects him to play" as opposed to simply saying he'll be ready to go, so there's at least some reason to still check in on his status before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. That being said, all indications suggest Robinson will be ready for the pivotal tilt and should be primed for his typical workload against the 22nd ranked defense against opposing fantasy wide receivers.

Reagor (thumb) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

This was the expected outcome all along as Reagor had been medically cleared to play earlier in the week. The 2020 first-round pick couldn't find himself in a better matchup against the putrid Cowboys defense, although it remains to be seen just how integrated he'll be in the offense after such an elongated absence. Travis Fulgham, Greg Ward and the newly activated Dallas Goedert (lower leg/ankle) also all figure to factor into a passing attack that has accumulated 572 passing yards combined over the last two weeks.

Shepard (shoulder/toe) "has a chance to play" Monday, according to Joe Judge, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledgerreports.

After being limited in practice all week due to both a shoulder and toe injury, Joe Judge says Shepard has a chance to play. Shepard returned after a four-game absence against the Eagles last week and was fairly effective (six catches, 59 yards and a touchdown), but his injury history is worrisome. Be on the lookout for further updates regarding the receiver's availability.

Fountain was waived by the Colts on Saturday.

Fountain played 49 offensive snaps over the course of Weeks 2 through 4, essentially acting as a depth option at wideout. There's a chance he could return to the team's practice squad if he passes through waivers.

Pittman (lower leg) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

Pittman underwent surgery to address a lower leg injury he suffered in Week 3. He returned to practice this week, but it's not clear how much he'll be able to play this Sunday against Detroit. Still, when healthy he should take over as the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver.
