  • Patriots' Gunner Olszewski: Questionable for Sunday

    Olszewski (ankle/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Nora Princiotti of The Boston Globe reports.

    Olszewski was suited up for this past Monday's game against the Browns despite a hamstring injury, and it appears he's picked up an ankle injury, too. The undrafted rookie managed to practice in a limited fashion this week, and his official status won't be clear until 90 minutes before Sunday's kickoff at 4:25 p.m. ET. With Phillip Dorsett healthy and Mohamed Sanu in the fold, Olszewski will likely remain on special teams if he's able to go.

  • Jets' Jamison Crowder: Cleared to play Sunday

    Crowder (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, what coach Adam Gase referred to as an "awkward collision at practice" led to Crowder being held out of the end of Thursday's practice, but the Jets' slot receiver will be fine for Sunday's contest. His Week 8 fantasy upside is largely tied to whether QB Sam Darnold can rebound from a dreadful performance in this past Monday's 33-0 loss to the Patriots. Crowder actually logged a team-high four catches (on five targets) for 26 yards in the game, and an improved effort from Darnold this weekend could land him back on the PPR radar.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: Questionable against Jaguars

    Berrios (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Berrios was able to practice all week, albeit in a limited fashion, so he still has a shot to suit up. The second-year pro's main contributions are on special teams, so his absence won't shake up the offense, which is looking to bounce back after a pitiful showing against the Patriots.

  • Tre'Quan Smith WR | DET

    Saints' Tre'Quan Smith: Missing fifth consecutive game

    Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    A non-participant throughout the week of practice, Smith will be inactive for the fifth time this season, leaving Austin Carr as the No. 3 receiver behind Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn. The Saints have a Week 9 bye coming up.

  • Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Good to go

    Smith-Schuster (illness) practiced fully Friday.

    Smith-Schuster missed Thursday's practice, as he was under the weather. His return to a full session Friday paves the way for him to play and serve as the Steelers' No. 1 wide receiver Monday night against the Dolphins in what looks like a very favorable matchup for Pittsburgh's key skill players.

  • 49ers' Marquise Goodwin: Uncertain to play

    Goodwin (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports that Goodwin has been excused from the team to tend to a personal matter, and he wouldn't be able to play if the 49ers had a game Friday. The 49ers have sufficient depth at wide receiver, with Emmanuel Sanders joining the team and both Dante Pettis (knee) and Deebo Samuel (groin) cleared to play.

  • Dante Pettis WR | SF

    49ers' Dante Pettis: Good for Sunday

    Pettis (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Pettis played 92 percent of snaps on offense in last week's 9-0 win over Washington, but he's in danger of a significant reduction with Emmanuel Sanders joining the 49ers and Deebo Samuel cleared to return from a groin injury. Meanwhile, Marquise Goodwin is listed as questionable for unspecified non-injury reasons.

  • Deebo Samuel WR | SF

    49ers' Deebo Samuel: Cleared for Sunday

    Samuel (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Dante Pettis also has been cleared to play, while Marquise Goodwin (non-injury) is listed as questionable. It isn't clear how snaps and targets will be divided between the wide receivers in Emmanuel Sanders' first game with the 49ers.

  • Colts' Parris Campbell: Good chance to play Sunday

    Campbell (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after logging limited practices all week, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    That said, coach Frank Reich noted Friday that there's a "good chance" Campbell will return to action Sunday following a two-game absence, per Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis. If the rookie is able to suit up, he won't necessarily merit instant fantasy consideration, given that Zach Pascal put up a 6-106-2 receiving line in Week 7's 30-23 over the Texans while working behind T.Y. Hilton.

  • Cardinals' Christian Kirk: Headed for game-time call

    Kirk (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with New Orleans, Mike Jurecki of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Kirk has been limited in practice the past three weeks, unable to progress to full participation. A 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff makes it easy for fantasy managers to make other plans, with the Cardinals potentially waiting until they release their inactive list to reveal the final decision. Larry Fitzgerald, Trent Sherfield and Damiere Byrd handled most of the WR snaps last week, with Pharoh Cooper and Andy Isabella also mixing in. Kirk was considered a game-time decision last week and didn't end up playing in a 27-21 win over the Giants. He's officially listed as questionable on the final injury report, per Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site.
