Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich relayed Friday that Adams (illness/wrist) is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Adams returned to practice Friday after having missed back-to-back sessions, and per Ulbrich the wideout appears to be on track to suit up for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest. The Jets' upcoming injury report is slated clarify whether or not Adams carries a Week 11 injury designation, however.

Boyd is expected to be more involved in the offense moving forward now that he's over his previous shoulder injury, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Titans OC Nick Holz said Boyd had been limited by the shoulder issue, but he's now as healthy as he's been in recent weeks, Wyatt adds. Boyd hasn't recorded a catch on 55 offensive snaps over the last two games, and he's topped 40 yards in a contest just once all year. In a Titans offense that prefers to run the ball and is quarterbacked by Will Levis, Boyd still is not a recommended fantasy play. Calvin Ridley is the clear top target in a pass offense that can't often support more than one pass catcher.

Zaccheaus caught one of two targets for 10 yards in a 26-18 loss at Philadelphia on Thursday.

Zaccheaus played 42 percent of snaps on offense, third most among Washington wide receivers on a night when five of them logged at least 30 percent share. Zaccheaus has three of fewer targets in four straight games since drawing 21 targets over a four-game span Weeks 4-7. He'll continue in his depth role Week 12 against Dallas, remaining far off the radar in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

McCaffrey had one target and no catches in Thursday's 26-18 loss at Philadelphia.

McCaffrey played 30 percent of snaps on offense, fifth most among Washington wide receivers. He's yet to draw more than three targets in a game and isn't likely to get a big usage bump Week 12 against Dallas.

Brown caught one of four targets for four yards in a 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday.

Brown led Washington's wide receivers with 77 percent snap share, slightly ahead of even Terry McLaurin (71 percent), who also had a rough night against an excellent Philadelphia secondary. They'll both get a much better matchup Week 12 against the Cowboys.

Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Friday that Coleman (wrist) won't play Sunday against the Chiefs, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Coleman thus will target a potential return to action Sunday, Dec. 1 against the 49ers following the Bills' Week 12 bye, as will tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee). While the team will be without two key pass catchers versus Kansas City, on the plus side wideout Amari Cooper (questionable, wrist) has a chance to return from a two-game absence this weekend. In nine games to date, Coleman has hauled in 22 of his 36 targets for 417 yards and three TDs.

Head coach Zac Taylor expects Higgins (quadricep) to play Sunday night against the Chargers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com and Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site report.

Higgins was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but it looks like the wideout is trending toward seeing his first game action since Week 7. Friday's injury report will clarify whether Higgins approaches Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff with an injury designation or fully cleared to face Los Angeles.

Adams (illness/wrist) was present for practice Friday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his return to Friday's session bodes well for his availability for Sunday's contest against the Colts. The Jets' upcoming injury report will relay whether the wideout carries a Week 11 injury designation or is fully cleared to face Indianapolis this weekend.

Cooper (wrist) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice and listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Cooper has missed the Bills' last two games, but his ability to practice all week -- albeit in a limited fashion -- gives him a chance to return to action this weekend. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Cooper told reporters this week that he expects to play, but official word on his status for Sunday's contest won't arrive until 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Bills post their inactive list. If Cooper is available versus Kansas City, he would provide a significant boost to a Buffalo pass-catching corps that will be without wideout Keon Coleman (wrist) and tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee).

When asked Friday, coach Jerod Mayo said Bourne will play Sunday against the Rams, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Bourne was active last Sunday against the Bears but didn't play a single offensive snap after he posted a 4-41-0 receiving line the previous week versus Tennessee. Mayo said Bourne had a "good week of practice," per Mark Daniels of MassLive.com. Kayshon Boutte ran a position-high 29 routes versus Chicago last week, followed by DeMario Douglas (18), K.J. Osborn (16) and Ja'Lynn Polk (10). Osborn has been on and off the inactive list throughout the season, so perhaps Bourne takes his spot once again.
