Conley will start at receiver Sunday against the Texans with Dede Westbrook (neck/shoulder) inactive, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

Conley has already occupied a regular spot in three-receiver sets, but Westbrook's absence should only open up more opportunities on offense for the former Chief. Over the past two games, Conley has drawn seven targets in both contests and has hauled in seven passes for 186 yards and a score.

Conley could see more work in Sunday's game against the Texans in London with Dede Westbrook (neck/shoulder) considered unlikely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

D.J. Chark has emerged as a star on the outside, but Conley has had back-to-back strong weeks and makes for a decent addition to lineups for fantasy managers looking for extra help at receiver.

Thielen (hamstring) is expected to play at Kansas City on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Thielen was reportedly considered "50/50" earlier Saturday, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, but he now appears on track to face the Chiefs. The 29-year-old will still likely go through a pregame workout to be safe, so it's worth keeping an eye on Minnesota's inactives list, which should be posted about 90 minutes before the 1pm ET kickoff.

Adams (toe) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Chargers but will still likely go through a pre-game workout to test his availability, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Adams has been sidelined since Week 4 due to the toe injury and was deemed a game-time decision by coach Matt LaFleur on Friday. Despite him being expected to play, the 26-year-old remains somewhat of a risky proposition for fantasy managers given Sunday's 4:25pm ET kickoff. The Packers will officially post their inactives about 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

Kirk corralled two of five targets for eight yards and posted an eight-yard carry during Thursday's 28-25 loss to the 49ers.

Kirk led all Cardinals wide receivers in both targets and offensive snaps (55 of 57), but the usage didn't translate to the box score. Granted, Kyler Murray attempted just 24 passes, and seven of Kirk's teammates also tallied at least one catch. Additionally, Kirk may have been impacted by playing two games in the span of five days after sitting out three weeks due to an ankle injury. In any case, he'll have plenty of time to rest up for the Cardinals' next contest on Sunday, Nov. 10 at Tampa Bay.

Thielen (hamstring) is considered "50/50" for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

This isn't much different than the reports out of Minnesota following the team's Friday injury report, with Thielen publicly suggesting he's optimistic he can suit up Sunday. Expected cold weather could put a damper on Thielen's ability to loosen up enough to compete, but a pregame workout prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff should be enough to determine the veteran receiver's status.

Harry (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Patriots wasted no time activating their 2019 first-round pick, as Harry will join a remade Patriots receiving corps ahead of the team's prime-time matchup against the Ravens in Week 9. Top pass catcher Julian Edelman (chest/shoulder) is listed as questionable for the aforementioned contest, but it seems likely the 33-year-old will be able to play, meaning Harry is expected to slide in as the No. 4 receiver Sunday behind Edelman, Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett.

Bourne was targeted just once, but he caught that pass for a seven-yard touchdown in Thursday's 28-25 win over Arizona,

Bourne played less than a third of the team's offensive snaps for the sixth time through eight games this season. The touchdown was a positive for the 24-year-old -- and his 6-foot-1 frame does make him a decent red-zone target -- but it's tough to provide fantasy value as the fourth wideout on the depth chart. Bourne should not be a waiver target heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Seahawks.

Pettis caught his lone target for 21 yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Cardinals.

Pettis was removed from his starting role last week against the Panthers, and he retained the decreased role (30 percent of offensive snaps Thursday) behind rookie Deebo Samuel against Arizona. The second-year receiver has really seen his stock plummet after posting WR1 numbers over the final quarter of the 2018 season. With the trade deadline passed, Pettis will continue to serve a backup role (eliminating nearly all of his fantasy value) heading into another divisional matchup against the Seahawks next Monday.

Bellamy (shoulder/foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

This comes as no surprise as Bellamy was unable to practice this week. He has logged just five offensive snaps over the last three weeks.
