Johnson said he'll be a big part of the game plan Sunday in San Francisco, Mark Kaboly of The Athletic reports.

Johnson and James Washington both saw bumps in snap share Week 2 against Seattle, taking on more work at the expense of Donte Moncrief and Ryan Switzer. There's still no lock for regular playing time apart from JuJu Smith-Schuster, as Moncrief, Switzer and Johnny Holton haven't necessarily fallen all the way out of the offense. New starting quarterback Mason Rudolph had plenty of reps with Johnson and Washington throughout the offseason program, training camp and preseason.

Adams (personal) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Adams was excused from practice Friday to attend to a personal matter. It doesn't sound like a threat to his Sunday availability, but he does have a tricky matchup with potential shadow coverage from Chris Harris, who helped limit Chicago's Allen Robinson to four catches for 41 yards in Week 2. Of course, Adams is always a good bet to lead the Packers in targets, and he's gotten the better of some quality cornerbacks the past few years, including Minnesota's Xavier Rhodes last week.

Davis hauled in three of his four targets for 44 yards in Week 3 against Jacksonville.

Davis made a highlight-reel, one-handed catch in the game, but he was otherwise quiet in the Titans' Week 3 defeat. He has now seen no more than five targets in all three games this season, and has just six receptions for 82 yards on the campaign. It's been a disappointing start to the season for Davis, who was out-targeted by A.J. Brown, Adam Humphries and Delanie Walker on Thursday. On a more positive note, the team will shift to a dome setting for their Week 4 contest against Atlanta, which could result in a faster-paced game and more targets for Davis.

Adams is absent from Friday's practice due to a personal matter, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

There hasn't been any suggestion of Adams missing Sunday's game against Denver, but we should know more Friday afternoon when the Packers release their final injury report. The wide receiver could be looking at shadow coverage from Broncos cornerback Chris Harris this week.

Montgomery was excused from Friday's practice for personal reasons, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

It's not clear why Montgomery was permitted to leave the team Friday, but unless he lands on the Jets' injury report, he figures to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

Brown did not take part in Friday's practice for the third straight week, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The Ravens have now held Brown out of three straight Friday practices, which they are doing to give him a chance to rest his surgically-repaired foot. It's of course possible he's being held out this Friday for another reason, so his status will be a bit up in the air until the Ravens release their final injury report for Week 3. However, based on the last couple weeks, there's plenty of reason to be optimistic he will suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

Conley hauled in two of three targets for 30 yards in the Jaguars' 20-7 win over the Titans on Thursday.

Conley wasn't able to make the same impact he had over the first two games, with both his reception and receiving yardage totals checking in as season lows. However, he did miss some time with an in-game ankle injury and had also been nursing a hip issue coming in. The Georgia product has been a pleasant surprise overall, however, as he now has 12 receptions for 200 yards and a touchdown over his first three contests. Conley has also seen his targets dwindle in each game thus far, so he'll look to reverse the trend against the Broncos in a Week 4 road matchup a week from Sunday.

Humphries brought in six of nine targets for 93 yards in the Titans' 20-7 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday.

It took a couple of weeks, but Humphries finally reignited some of his preseason chemistry with Marcus Mariota in Thursday's defeat. The savvy possession receiver tied Delanie Walker for the team lead in targets, and his number of looks Thursday were easily a season high. Humphries notched half of his grabs on the final drive of the night for Tennessee, however, so the next step fantasy managers would undoubtedly like to see him take would be more consistency throughout all four quarters. He'll look to accomplish that in a potentially favorable road matchup against the Falcons in Week 4 a week from Sunday.

Chark brought in four of five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 20-7 win over the Titans on Thursday.

The second-year wideout continued to make for lost time Thursday after a nondescript rookie campaign. Chark recorded his third touchdown in as many games midway through the first quarter with a nifty contested catch in the left corner of the end zone, one in which he admittedly appeared to get away with a slight push-off on cornerback Malcolm Butler. Chark has shown impressive rapport with rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew through the latter's two-plus games at the helm, and although he's been unable to duplicate his spectacular 4-146-1 line from the opener, he's nevertheless cemented himself as a dependable passing-game/fantasy option through three contests. He'll look to conquer the challenge of a tough Broncos secondary in a Week 4 matchup a week from Sunday.

Conley returned to Thursday's game against the Titans, NFL.com reports.

It seems that the ankle injury Conley sustained wasn't too serious. He'll look to build off his one catch for 15 yards.
