Shepherd was promoted to the Packers' active roster Saturday, Jim Owczarski of the Journal Sentinel reports.

Shepherd will add some depth to a wide receiver corps that's likely to be without top option Davante Adams (hamstring), who is listed as doubtful. Even if Adams sits, Shepherd isn't expected to play a significant role in Week 3 against the Saints.

Zuber was elevated to the 53-man roster by the Patriots on Saturday.

Zuber will give the team some extra wide receiver depth with the subpar Raiders secondary coming to town Sunday. The 23-year-old wide receiver is still in search of his first NFL catch.

Moore (finger) is considered questionable for Monday's game versus the Chiefs, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Moore has been limited in practice, and his status could be a game-time decision Monday. The 27-year-old wideout has yet to play in a game this season. When he does indeed play, there may not be much of a role for him, as the Ravens have utilized plenty of two tight end sets this season.

Diggs will likely be covered frequently by star corner Jalen Ramsey during Sunday's game in Buffalo.

This is certainly not a sure thing and Diggs' teammate John Brown is no slouch, but Diggs is the more skilled receiver, so it would make sense the Rams try to use as much of Ramsey as they can to slow him down, especially after Diggs torched the Miami secondary for 153 yards and a score last week. Ramsey himself has even implied as such throughout the week. It'd be hard to advise sitting Diggs, currently toed as the league's leading receiver, but just know things might not come as easy to him as the first two weeks, when he matched up against more friendly defenses.

Montgomery (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Montgomery was a surprise entry on the injury report Friday, earning a questionable designation for Sunday's contest with the Packers. A revenge matchup with his former team will have to wait for another day as the Saints made the surprising choice to put Montgomery on injured reserve the following day. The scatback will be out a minimum of three weeks, leaving Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray to shoulder the burden of an offense absent star wideout Michael Thomas (ankle).

Conley caught three of eight targets for 34 yards during Thursday's 31-13 loss to the Dolphins.

The 27-year-old led Jacksonville's wideouts in offensive snaps (53 of 66) and targets in the absence of DJ Chark (back/chest), but he was unable to turn it into significant production. It should have been as ideal situation for Conley with the Jaguars playing from behind most of the game, but RB James Robinson ended up being the only pass catcher to exceed 45 receiving yards. Conley has caught eight of 16 targets for 88 yards through three games and isn't a viable fantasy option, especially once Chark is back in the fold.

Jeudy (ribs) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Jeudy's upgrade to full practice participation Friday was a positive sign, but the Broncos nonetheless listed him as questionable and apparently want to see how he feels Sunday before making a final decision. A 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff is less than optimal for fantasy managers, with the Denver inactive list scheduled to come out about 90 minutes prior. Jeudy should see a good number of targets if he plays, as the Broncos just lost Courtland Sutton to an ACL tear. Jeudy, KJ Hamler and Tim Patrick got most of the WR reps after Sutton left last week's game, though DaeSean Hamilton also mixed in.

Harry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Harry worked through a shoulder issue Weeks 1 and 2 and now heads into this weekend listed with an ankle injury. He's been able to practice all week, albeit in a limited fashion, so we'd be surprised if he isn't available for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET tilt. Two games into his second season as a pro, Harry has caught 13 passes on 18 targets for 111 yards while seeing regular snaps in the Patriots offense. As his rapport with QB Cam Newton grows, Harry's fantasy prospects should continue to brighten, especially if the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is utilized more often as a red-zone weapon.

Cooks (quadriceps) practiced in full Friday and will be available Sunday at Pittsburgh.

Cooks followed up limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday with an uncapped practice Friday, clearing him to suit up this weekend. Meanwhile, Kenny Stills is listed as questionable after making an appearance on Friday's injury report with an illness that limited his practice reps. If Stills is at all hindered or even out Sunday, his absence could open up a few extra downfield routes for Cooks, who reeled off five catches (on eight targets) for 95 yards this past weekend against a tough Ravens defense.

Edwards (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

The No. 81 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft logged limited practices this week, but he'll be able to give it a go Sunday and is thus slated to maintain his starting role in the team's offense. The Raiders will be without first-rounder Henry Ruggs (knee/hamstring) this week, meaning Zay Jones and Nelson Agholor are candidates for added snaps behind Edwards and Hunter Renfrow. Edwards caught both of his targets for 42 yards in this past Monday's win over the Saints, and with an increase in volume a plausible outcome as the season rolls along, the 6-foot-3, 212-pounder has a chance to surface as a fantasy option in deeper formats.
