Coach Bruce Arians said Wilson and Scotty Miller would split the offensive snaps usually reserved for Breshad Perriman (hamstring) in Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Perriman, who was already been ruled out for the Week 5 contest, has had a regular spot in three-receiver sets this season, but it hasn't meant much from a production standpoint with Chris Godwin and Mike Evans dominating the overall target share. Unless Godwin's hip injury limits him or keeps him sidelined versus New Orleans, neither Wilson nor Miller would be likely to see meaningful volume in the passing game. Of the two, Wilson seems better positioned to see more work, given that he played 35 snaps to Miller's eight after the injury knocked Perriman out early in the Week 4 win over the Rams.

McLaurin (hamstring) is going through drills at Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

McLaurin may be headed for another game-time decision Sunday against New England, after he was held out last week versus the Giants. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, with no report of any setback with his hamstring. Washington's final injury report will be available later Friday.

Perriman (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game against the Saints, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Perriman has struggled in the Buccaneers' No. 3 receiver role, catching just three of 12 passes for 16 yards. Coach Bruce Arians said Bobo Wilson and Scott Miller will share the snaps that normally go to Perriman, per Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site.

Adams (toe) isn't practicing Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

A report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggested Adams would need to practice Friday in order to play in Sunday's game at Dallas, though the Packers haven't confirmed that's actually the plan. Rapoport also mentioned that the wide receiver's injury isn't expected to require a long-term absence, with his case of turf toe not considered to be too severe. Another update on Adams will come through when the Packers release their final injury report Friday afternoon.

Gallup (knee) will practice Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Gallup got in limited practice sessions the last two days, and it appears he will take the field again Friday, which only helps his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Packers. The Cowboys will reveal Gallup's official status for Week 5 when their final injury report is released later Friday.

Metcalf caught two of three targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Rams.

Metcalf turned up his well-advertised burners in the second quarter to blow past Marcus Peters and haul in a 40-yard touchdown pass. The rookie was only targeted two other times, but that's what fantasy gamers expect with a boom-or-bust play like Metcalf. Through five games, he has just 12 receptions and a whopping 22.3 yards per catch.

Woods secured five of nine targets for 48 yards in the Rams' 30-29 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.

Woods couldn't come close to replicating his massive 13-catch, 164-yard performance versus the Buccaneers four days earlier, but he did check in third in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the night for the Rams. The veteran's normal range of production sits somewhere between his numbers from the last two games, making him one of the more reliable week-to-week options for fantasy purposes, albeit with relatively capped upside. He'll look to boost his numbers back up across the board in a tough Week 6 matchup against the 49ers a week from Sunday.

Kupp brought in nine of 17 targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 30-29 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday.

Kupp's normally robust workload bumped up another couple notches Thursday, with Brandin Cooks' early exit from the contest due to a head injury certainly playing a part. The third-year wideout also secured his fourth touchdown of the season with a nine-yard scoring grab in the second quarter, and he extended his streak of 100-yard games to four. Now arguably Jared Goff's No. 1 receiver irrespective of official depth chart slotting, Kupp will look to continue his outstanding start to the season versus the 49ers in a Week 6 divisional matchup a week from Sunday.

Lockett caught all four targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Rams.

Lockett tied Will Dissly and Jaron Brown for the team high in targets in a game which saw QB Russell Wilson attempt 23 passes. Late in the first quarter, Wilson scrambled out of the pocket and tossed a pass to the back corner of the end zone, where Lockett dragged his feet and leaned out of bounds for the team's first touchdown of the evening. It doesn't look like Lockett, who also logged four targets in Week 4, will consistently draw the sort of volume he did between Weeks 2 and 3, when he saw a combined 26 looks, but he continues to see plenty of snaps in Seattle's offense, including a 91 percent share Thursday night.

Cooks is being evaluated for a concussion during Thursday's game against the Seahawks.

Cooks carried once for 27 yards and secured one-of-three targets for 29 yards before exiting. The injury came on Cooks' lone catch, a difficult grab along the right sideline which caused the receiver to come down hard on his head. Cooks has had head injuries in the past, suffering a concussion last season as a Ram and another notable head injury during Super Bowl LII as a Patriot. Consequently, the Rams' training staff might be cautious in allowing Cooks to return to Thursday's contest. Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and an emerging Gerald Everett will look to spearhead Los Angeles' passing game should Cooks remain out.
