Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Practices fully Thursday
Collins (knee) practiced fully Thursday.
Collins was deemed limited at practice Wednesday, but the wideout's return to a full session a day later paves the way for him to be available Sunday against the Titans. Through three games, Collins has compiled a 14-181-2 line on 25 targets, a pace that keeps Houston's clear-cut top WR firmly on the fantasy radar on a weekly basis.

Jauan Jennings WR | SF
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Remains sidelined from practice
Jennings (ankle/shoulder) isn't practicing Thursday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Jennings hasn't been able to practice since coming out of a Week 2 win at New Orleans with an ankle injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan has referred to Jennings as day-to-day each of the last two weeks, but the wide receiver may not be a viable candidate for game action until he mixes into at least some drills. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not Jennings has a chance to play Sunday against the Jaguars.

Ricky Pearsall WR | SF
49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Returns to practice Thursday
Pearsall (knee) participated in Thursday's practice, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Pearsall's return to the field Thursday puts him on track to play Sunday against the Jaguars. Through three games, Pearsall is third in the NFL in receiving yards with a 16-281-0 line on 24 targets.

Jaylen Waddle WR | MIA
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Limited in practice Thursday
Waddle (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
After logging limited practices last Tuesday and Wednesday, Waddle approached last Thursday's game against the Bills listed as questionable. The wideout was able to suit up for the contest and recorded an 87 percent snap share versus Buffalo while catching five of his six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. With no reported setbacks, there's a solid chance that Waddle's listed limitations this Thursday were maintenance-related ahead of Monday night's game against the Jets.

Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ
Jets' Josh Reynolds: Logs limited practice Thursday
Reynolds (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Reynolds has missed the Jets' previous two games, but his return to practice Thursday puts the veteran wideout on track to play Monday night against the Dolphins. Reynolds has minimal fantasy value in the Jets' low-volume passing game.

Terry McLaurin WR | WAS
Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Officially DNP again Thursday
McLaurin (quadriceps) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.
Unless he's able to practice in some capacity Friday, McLaurin is looking increasingly unlikely to play Sunday against the Falcons after he injured his quad last Sunday against the Raiders. Deebo Samuel could be in for increased targets as the focal point of the passing offense against Atlanta.

Darius Slayton WR | NYG
Giants' Darius Slayton: Stays limited Thursday
Slayton (calf) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Slayton maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he tends to a calf issue, and he'll now have just one more opportunity to practice in full this week before the Giants potentially hand him a designation prior to Sunday's contest versus the Chargers. If he's able to avoid being inactive this weekend, he'll be working with rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart, who is taking over for veteran Russell Wilson.

Malik Nabers WR | NYG
Giants' Malik Nabers: Gets back to limited Thursday
Nabers (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Nabers made a brief exit in the second half of Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs when he broke up a deep shot from QB Russell Wilson in the end zone that left the wide receiver in pain on the turf for a spell. He followed up Wednesday's lack of activity with some drills Thursday and now has one more chance to practice this week before the Giants potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Chargers. If Nabers is able to suit up this weekend, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart.

Xavier Legette WR | CAR
Panthers' Xavier Legette: Remains sidelined Thursday
Legette (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.
Legette got in a trio of limited practices last week with the hamstring issue but was ultimately inactive for Week 3 against the Falcons. He's now logging DNPs this week, and it's unclear if he experience some sort of setback with the hamstring. David Moore played a position-high 97 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday versus Atlanta and would be in line for increased reps again if Legette is unable to play.
-
Tetairoa McMillan WR | CAR
Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Limited in return to practice
McMillan (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice.
McMillan popped up on Wednesday's injury report as a non-participant due to a hamstring issue, but he told David Newton of ESPN.com afterward that he'd be good to go for Sunday's contest at New England. Thursday's return to drills is a step in the right direction, but McMillan may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation entering the weekend.
