Foster (groin) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

The 25-year-old popped up on the injury report late in the week and, as evidenced by this news, the injury is serious enough to force him to miss game action. With Foster sidelined, Andre Roberts and Isaiah McKenzie will be deployed as depth receivers for the contest.

Renfrow could be in line for additional targets in a Week 4 tilt against the Colts with fellow wideouts J.J. Nelson (coach's decision) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) declared inactive for the contest.

The rookie has had a modest, low-upside role through the first three games, securing nine of 15 targets for 71 yards. However, Renfrow could be in for a boost in targets Sunday due to simple attrition at his position, although he's likely to still be primarily utilized in the possession role he's filled thus far.

Olszewski (hamsting) will play in Sunday's tilt against the Bills.

Olszewski was a late addition to the injury report heading into the game, but, as evidenced by this news, it could've been just precautionary. With Julian Edelman's (chest) snap count unclear for the game, Olszewski could see time in the offense, as well as being deployed as the team punt return man for Week 4.

McLaurin (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's road game against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

In a surprise, the Redskins will exercise caution with their star rookie wide receiver, who picked up a hamstring injury at Thursday's practice. McLaurin's absence will open the door for Kelvin Harmon and Robert Davis to take advantage of a Giants defense that has allowed a league-worst 17.8 yards per catch to wide receivers this season.

The Redskins view McLaurin (hamstring) as a game-time decision Sunday against the Giants but are optimistic that he'll play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McLaurin was a surprise addition to Washington's injury report Thursday, but Rapoport notes that the rookie wideout's hamstring issue is considered a minor one. With that in mind, McLaurin is expected to suit up and should take on his normal allotment of snaps, though his availability won't be officially confirmed until Washington releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. EDT kickoff. Fantasy managers will want to check back at that time and confirm that he's in fact active before inserting him into lineups.

Godwin (hip), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Buccaneers had been treating Godwin as a game-time call after he managed only one limited practice this week, but the team is apparently optimistic with how the wideout has bounced back from the hip injury in the last couple of days. Godwin's status won't be officially confirmed until 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. EDT kickoff, but it looks like his fantasy managers can plan on having him available.

Olszewski (hamstring) has been added to the New England's injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with Buffalo, Mike Reiss of ESPN's NFL Nation reports. He's listed as questionable.

Olszewski isn't an impact player on offense but normally handles punt return duties. Julian Edelman would be the likeliest candidate (assuming he plays through his own injury) to take over punt return duties if Olszewski can't go.

Arcega-Whiteside played just six snaps in Thursday's 34-27 win over the Packers.

Arcega-Whiteside did not see a target in the game, as Alshon Jeffery's return bumped the rookie back to the bench. Mack Hollins served as the clear third receiver, seeing 40 snaps. The Stanford product's chances of seeing the field are likely to be reduced even further with DeSean Jackson (abdomen) working his way back.

The Vikings promoted Davis to their 53-man roster Saturday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Davis was waived by the team during final roster cuts, but subsequently went unclaimed and landed on the Vikings' practice squad. The move was made to bolster depth at wide receiver, as Chad Beebe (ankle) was just placed on injured reserve. The undrafted rookie is now the fifth pass catcher on the depth chart, but will primarily contribute on special teams.

Hollins caught one of his two targets for 13 yards in Thursday's 34-27 win over the Packers.

Hollins got a deep ball in the first quarter but was unable to reel it in and then wouldn't get another chance until the third quarter. The 26-year-old saw the third-most snaps among Eagles receivers with 40, far ahead of J.J. Arcega-Whiteside's six. If DeSean Jackson is forced to miss another week with an abdominal issue, Hollins should see similar work at home Week 5 against the Jets.
