Allen (knee/tooth) returned to practice Friday, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

While his level of participation and Week 4 injury designation have yet to be revealed, Allen's return to practice -- in any capacity Friday -- bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the 49ers.

Parker (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New England, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Parker missed the first two games of the current campaign due to a fractured right middle finger, delaying his season debut to last Sunday against the Raiders. He avoided the injury report this week until Friday, when he logged a limited practice as a result of a quad concern. His availability for Week 4 is thus up in the air and won't be confirmed until Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff.

Cobb (hamstring) was held out of practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Michael Cohen of The Athletic reports.

A mid-week addition to the injury report, Cobb was a limited participant Thursday and a non-participant Friday. Coach Mike McCarthy discussed the situation Friday morning, acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding Cobb's availability for Week 4. Geronimo Allison and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be the leading candidates to take on extra snaps and targets if Cobb lands on the inactive list prior to Sunday's 1 PM ET kickoff.

Pryor (ankle/groin) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Pryor was held to one catch for 25 yards Week 3, but he combined for seven catches for 133 yards over the course of the Jets' first two games, so when the matchup is favorable -- which isn't the case this week -- he profiles as an option in deeper fantasy formats.

Perriman worked out for the Patriots on Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The 2015 first-round pick was cut by the Ravens at the end of the preseason and released by the Redskins last week. The Patriots are probably just updating their emergency list, as they recently traded for Josh Gordon and will get Julian Edelman back from suspension next week.

Bellamy may replace Anthony Miller (shoulder) in the slot for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

With Miller looking like a long shot to play, Bellamy and Kevin White are both candidates for the vacated snaps. Bellamy's experience in the slot could give him the upper hand, but the Bears might also move Allen Robinson and/or Taylor Gabriel inside to free up some snaps for White on the perimeter. Even in a favorable matchup, there's not much fantasy appeal to be had when dealing with an uncertain No. 3 receiver situation in a struggling offense.

When asked about Cobb's hamstring injury Friday morning, head coach Mike McCarthy said, "We'll see what today brings. It's unfortunate, but we'll see how it goes," according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

Cobb showed up on Thursday's injury report with the hamstring injury, and McCarthy's comments indicate it could be more than just some simple soreness. What exactly that means in regards to Cobb's Week 4 availability is uncertain, but those hoping to include him in this week's lineups will want to keep tabs on his status.

Robinson brought in both of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 38-31 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

The Vikings surely caught the Rams and fantasy owners alike by surprise with their deployment of Robinson, who'd just joined the team a few days prior to a Week 3 loss to the Bills. The veteran opened the scoring by bringing in a 16-yard strike from Kirk Cousins in the first quarter, and he followed it up with a 17-yard touchdown reception in the second period to give Minnesota a short-lived 17-14 lead at the time. Time will tell if the 30-year-old will be able to surpass Laquon Treadwell on the depth chart for the No. 3 receiver role, but Thursday offered a glimpse of what he might be able to bring to the offense as a complementary option.

Woods brought in all five of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 38-31 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.

Four days after seeing 11 targets in a win over the Chargers, Woods lagged behind Cooper Kupp, Brandin Cooks and Todd Gurley in looks Thursday. It hardly mattered, considering he corralled each pass thrown his way and got into the end zone for the third time this season. The 26-year-old had seen at least nine targets in each of his first three games before Thursday's downturn, so even that's likely just an outlier that fantasy owners need not fret over. Already having logged 24 receptions through four contests, Woods will look to stay hot against the Seahawks in Week 5.

Cooks brought in seven of eight targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 38-31 win over the Vikings on Thursday night. He also gained 10 yards on his sole rush and fumbled once.

Cooks was one of three Rams receivers to eclipse the century mark in Thursday's shootout, a performance that marked the second time he's accomplished the feat in his new digs. The 25-year-old already appears to be a seamless fit in coach Sean McVay's offense, now having tallied seven catches in three straight games. Cooks' workload has also been encouragingly steady, as he's logged at least eight targets in each contest. He'll look to continue extend the strong start to his season against the Seahawks in Week 5.
