Adams caught eight of 14 targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 22-0 win over the Bills.

Adams led his team in targets, catches and receiving yards, but Green Bay's passing game wasn't very stressed in this one given Buffalo's ineptitude on offense. Tight end Jimmy Graham scored the team's lone touchdown through the air while No. 2 wide receiver Geronimo Allison turned 11 targets into 80 yards. Adams should once again serve as Aaron Rodgers' primary target in the Week 5 divisional clash with the Lions.

Allen (knee/tooth) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

The Chargers' top pass-catcher is thus good to go Sunday and should see his share of targets in the team's Week 4 attack. Through three games to date, Allen has parlayed his 17 catches (on 26 targets) for 219 yards and a TD.

Valdes-Scantling will get the starting nod in place of Randall Cobb (hamstring) Sunday against the Bills, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

While Geronimo Allison would seemingly be the logical choice for an increased role in the absence of Cobb, Allison already sees a significant amount of the snap share, so it's potentially Valdes-Scantling who has the most to gain. Although Valdes-Scantling has just one reception on the season and less than 20 offensive snaps overall, that should change in a big way for the Week 4 matchup. He has the speed (4.37 40-yard dash) to take the top off the defense, and there's almost always room for a third, fantasy-relevant wideout option in an Aaron Rodgers-led offense. Game flow could always limit his upside, but this is the first opportunity of the year for the rookie to make his presence known.

Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Smith's absence will leave four active wideouts on the Texans' roster -- DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller, Sammie Coates and Keke Coutee. Smith has been targeted four times in three games, hauling in one for 28 yards.

Beasley (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Lions, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Playing through an ankle injury for a second consecutive game, Beasley is still searching for his first touchdown of the season, a victim of the Cowboys' malaise on offense. He may finally get in on the act Week 4 against a Detroit defense that has conceded 14.6 yards per catch and three touchdowns to wide receivers through three contests.

Parker (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 tilt against the Patriots.

The Dolphins will thus be without their No. 1 receiver for the third time in four games to open the season. Parker also missed the first two contests of the campaign with a finger injury, and his absence for Sunday's divisional showdown will leave Kenny Stills, Albert Wilson and Danny Amendola as Ryan Tannehill's top three targets, with the speedy Jakeem Grant also possibly seeing an enhanced role.

Hopkins (thumb/ankle/hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Though the combination of injuries resulted in Hopkins entering the weekend with a questionable tag, the wideout was never in serious peril of missing the divisional matchup. Hopkins appeared on the Texans' injury report a week ago with the same list of issues, but ultimately suited up in the Week 3 loss to the Giants, logging all 68 of the team's offensive snaps and finishing with six receptions for 86 yards on 10 targets. Another healthy snap and target count likely awaits him Sunday.

Cobb (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Cobb was a limited participant in practice Thursday and a non-participant Friday. Geronimo Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be the leading candidates to take on extra snaps with Cobb out.

Carter was promoted to the Eagles' active roster Saturday, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.

The move came after Philly placed free safety Rodney McLeod (knee) on injured reserve. Carter will provide necessary depth to the Eagles' wideouts. He has just one catch to his name since entering the league in 2015, so he's untouchable in the fantasy realm.

Beasley (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Beasley also carried the ankle injury into the Week 3 loss to the Cowboys but ultimately garnered an active status for the contest, finishing with three receptions for 46 yards on five targets. The Dallas slot man only managed to practice on a limited basis this week, but that will apparently be enough for him to suit up Sunday.
