  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Cleared for SNF

    Slayton (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The same goes for Wan'Dale Robinson, whose early success has partially come at Slayton's expense. While never known for high target rates, Slayton inevitably will see more passes come his way if he doesn't lose his every-down role. His 82 routes run through Week 2 were sixth most in the league, but Slayton somehow got just four targets, while every other player with 80 or more routes (including teammate Malik Nabers) was targeted at least 13 times.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Cleared to face Chiefs

    Robinson (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Robinson was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, having picked up a minor injury during his career-best performance Sunday against the Cowboys. While unlikely to approach last week's 8-142-1 receiving line, Robinson does actually offer some upside now that he's getting targets that aren't within five yards of the line of scrimmage.

  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Falcons' Jamal Agnew: Out for Sunday

    Agnew (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

    The veteran wideout was unable to practice all week after missing the Falcons' Week 2 win over the Vikings due to a groin injury, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. With both Agnew and Casey Washington (concussion) out in Week 3, KhaDarel Hodge is projected to play a larger role in Atlanta's wide receiver room. Additionally, Ray-Ray McCloud is likely to serve as the team's top kick and punt returner.

  • Falcons' Casey Washington: Won't play Sunday

    Washington (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

    Despite practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week, Washington was unable to clear concussion protocol in time for Sunday's divisional matchup. While the 24-year-old is sidelined in Week 3, KhaDarel Hodge could play increased snaps as a depth piece in the Falcons' wide receiver corps.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Reid non-committal about WR's status

    Coach Andy Reid said Friday that the Chiefs will "see how it goes" regarding Worthy's (shoulder) availability for Sunday's game at the Giants, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

    Worthy hasn't played since sustaining a dislocated right shoulder on the Chiefs' first drive of the season in a Week 1 loss to the Chargers in Sao Paolo, Brazil. He sat out Week 2 as a result, but he was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday and likely maintained that activity level to cap Week 3 prep. Reid also told Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com that he'll leave a decision on Worthy's availability to team doctors, so how he's listed on Friday's injury report may not be indicative of the wide receiver's odds to suit up Sunday.

  • DeAndre Carter WR | CLE

    Browns' DeAndre Carter: Questionable for Week 3

    Carter (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Carter has yet to clear the league's concussion protocol after he was concussed in last Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Isaiah Bond would be next in line for returner duties if Carter can't play against Green Bay.

  • Tyrell Shavers WR | BUF

    Bills' Tyrell Shavers: Catches two passes in win

    Shavers caught both of his targets for 24 yards in the Bills' win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

    They marked Shavers' first catches of the season, as he operated as Buffalo's WR5, seeing 12 offensive snaps behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore. Shavers has next-to-zero fantasy value.

  • Elijah Moore WR | DEN

    Bills' Elijah Moore: Catches two passes in TNF victory

    Moore caught two of three targets for 30 yards in Buffalo's 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night. He added one rush for 11 yards.

    Moore operated as the Bills' WR4 against Miami, seeing 14 offensive snaps. Buffalo spreads the ball around so much that it's nearly impossible to predict target shares for the team's pass catchers. Moore is little more than an end-of-bench option in the deepest of PPR fantasy leagues.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Ruled out for Week 3

    Godwin (ankle) is nearing a return but won't play this Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com suggested Wednesday that Godwin could return for a Week 4 showdown with Philadelphia, which also looks like a reasonable target date for standout left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee). In any case, the Bucs have ruled out both for Week 3, after Godwin was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday. An upgrade to full participation should come soon.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Questionable for Week 3

    Legette (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina.

    Legette was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, never quite progressing to full. Brycen Tremayne was Carolina's No. 4 receiver last week, but David Moore and Jimmy Horn also could help fill the gap if Legette ends up inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. Given his poor form the past two weeks, Legette's absence wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for the Carolina offense.
