Allen (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Allen will give it a go Sunday, but coach Anthony Lynn previously noted that if the wide receiver played this weekend, the team would limit his snaps to a degree. With that in mind, it's no lock that Allen, who is averaging 10 targets per game to date, will see his normal volume, making him a hit-or-miss option in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Beckham has still been receiving treatment for a sore groin initially injured during training camp, ESPN's Josina Anderson reported on "Fantasy Football Now" on Sunday morning.

Beckham is not on the injury list and hasn't been for most of the season, even though he's been bothered by the issue all season. It's a good illustration that the injury report doesn't thoroughly break down each player's woes in and of itself.

Kirk (ankle) is expected to return Sunday at New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Sidelined the last three games due to a right ankle injury, Kirk may be on a limited snap count due to his inability to fit in a full practice to date during his recovery. No matter, he should retain his post as one of the Cardinals' starting slot receivers next to Larry Fitzgerald, which translated to 24 catches (on 37 targets) for 242 yards and no touchdowns for Kirk in the first four weeks of the season.

Allen (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, is being viewed as a true game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Allen wasn't optimistic about his chances of playing in Week 8 after the hamstring injury prevented him from practicing Thursday and Friday, Rapoport's report offers a slightly more positive outlook for the wideout. According to Rapoport, Allen has been walking around well, but the Chargers won't decide on his status until putting their top target through a rigorous pre-game workout. Fortunately, fantasy managers should have other options to pivot to in the event that Allen is ruled out with the Chargers and Bears kicking off at 1 p.m. EDT.

Adams (toe) isn't expected to play Sunday night against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Adams is listed as doubtful so he was never truly expected to suit up Sunday, but Schefter indicated he is likely to be available for next week's matchup with the Chargers. Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Geronimo Allison, Allen Lazard and Jake Kumerow all figure to be in the rotation at wide receiver for the Packers in his likely absence.

Allen (hamstring) will test his hamstring before Sunday's game at Chicago but apparently isn't optimistic about his chances to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Allen received the questionable tag after being unable to practice Thursday and Friday, but the fact coach Anthony Lynn already indicated Allen would see limited snaps even if he did play made it clear his availability is a serious question mark. Geremy Davis is likely to start opposite Mike Williams if Allen is ultimately held out.

The Saints waived Humphrey on Saturday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Humphrey suited up in four games for the Saints while Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) sat out, but the Saints decided to swap Humphrey out for Kirshawn Hogan as a depth piece. Humphrey, an undrafted rookie out of Texas, may land on the Saints' practice squad.

Washington (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Dolphins.

As a result, the second-year receiver will be active for Monday's prime-time contest against the Dolphins after missing Week 6 with a shoulder injury. Washington has caught a pass in four of the five games in which he was active this season, but he has just two games with 50 or more receiving yards.

The Titans promoted Raymond to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Raymond hasn't played an NFL snap since 2017 with both the Giants and Jets. It appears he'll suit up as a depth piece for the Titans on Sunday against the Buccaneers, but expect most of his contributions to come on special teams.

If Allen (hamstring) is able to play Sunday against the Bears, coach Anthony Lynn suggested he'd limit the receiver's snaps in the game, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

For now, Allen is viewed as a game-time decision for the contest, but fortunately the Chargers (who have a series of later starts after Sunday) kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET this weekend. With regard to Allen's status against the Bears, Lynn noted Friday, "I just need to see that he can go out and play and not hurt himself in pregame. If he can do that, then he's going to play." In the event the Chargers hold Allen out, however, Geremy Davis would likely get the start opposite Mike Williams.
