Jones (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

A late-week addition to the injury report with an ankle issue, Jones will ward it off and suit up versus a Green Bay defense that has allowed 7.3 YPT and six touchdowns to wide receivers through four games. With a catch rate of just 51.7 percent this season, though, he's reliant on the big play to post a respectable line.

Adams (calf) is active for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Adams opened Week 5 prep by tweaking his calf at Wednesday's practice, setting off a will-he-or-won't-he be able to play. After spending Thursday as a member of the Packers' rehab group, he was listed as limited on Friday's injury report and practiced in the same capacity Saturday, yet entered game day with a questionable designation. Now that his availability is confirmed, Adams will look to top his best mark (79 receiving yards) from seven previous matchups with the Lions.

Goodwin (hamstring/quadriceps) is not expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Official confirmation of Goodwin's Week 5 status will arrive approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. EDT kickoff, but this nugget should be enough for those considering him in fantasy lineups this week to seek alternatives at wideout.

The Browns are slated to work out Matthews on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Since dealing Josh Gordon to the Patriots, the Browns have been on the lookout for veteran wideout help to add depth behind Jarvis Landry and to complement rookie Antonio Callaway. Matthews could therefore be a decent fit with the Browns, and if he does sign, there could be a path to targets for him once he absorbs the team's playbook.

Coutee (hamstring) is expected to play against Dallas on Sunday, but the Texans want to test him pre-game before announcing his availability, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The Texans and Cowboys kick off at 8:20 p.m. EDT.

Both Coutee and Will Fuller (hamstring) will be tested during pre-game warmups to determine their availability against the Cowboys. If either of the two is unable to go, Sammie Coates will move up the depth chart; if both are out, Vyncint Smith will join Coates on the active roster.

Jones (ankle), who is listed as questionable on the official injury report, is expected to play Sunday against Green Bay, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones was a late addition to the practice report as he was a limited participant at Friday's practice. It sounds like he'll play, but double check his status before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Adams (calf), who is listed as questionable on the official injury report, is expected to play Sunday against Detroit, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Adams participated in practice Saturday, so it sounds like he'll play despite missing Thursday's practice and being limited Friday. Still, this report isn't official so fantasy players will want to check his status before kickoff.

Adams (calf) remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions after participating in Saturday's practice, Jason Wilde of ESPN.com reports.

Adams' presence at practice is encouraging for his status Sunday, but final confirmation is unlikely to be determined until closer to kickoff. The Packers are already down their No.2 receiver in Randall Cobb (hamstring), while Geronimo Allison (concussion/hamstring) remains a game-time decision as well. Thus, Aaron Rodgers is at risk of being without his top three receivers for the contest. Expect an update on Adams' status once the Packers provide more information.

Dorsett was on the field for 42 of the Patriots' 69 snaps on offense in Thursday's 38-24 win over the Colts.

In the process, Dorsett caught all three of his targets for 25 yards against the team that drafted him 29th overall in 2015. With Julian Edelman back from his suspension and Josh Gordon likely to see more snaps in the coming weeks, Dorsett profiles as a speculative fantasy option in a passing attack with plenty of mouths to feed.

Adams (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

After tweaking his calf during Wednesday's practice, Adams was limited to rehab work during Thursday's session before returning to practice in limited fashion Friday. It appears that Adams' final activity might have been enough to keep hope alive for an active status this weekend, but it's far from certain that the Packers' No. 1 wideout will be available. The Packers will hold another practice Saturday, which should offer a better idea of which direction Adams' status is trending. In addition to Adams, Geronimo Allison (concussion/hamstring) is listed as questionable while Randall Cobb (hamstring) has already been ruled out, putting the Packers at risk of playing without each of their top three receivers Sunday.
