Collins (neck/concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Notre Dame product was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he won't return for Sunday's matchup. Collins was designated to return from the injured reserve list Dec. 10, giving him one more week of practice to be added to the Giants' active roster before reverting to IR.

Hardman (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

Hardman returned to practice this week and logged full sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. However, he must still be added to the Bills' active roster in order to suit up Week 16. If the 27-year-old remains sidelined Sunday, expect Khalil Shakir to handle Buffalo's punt-return duties.

Evans (collarbone/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Evans returned from a long-term absence last week, catching six of 12 targets for 132 yards in a 29-28 loss to the Falcons. He finished out this week with a full practice, so it won't come as any surprise if he gets a boost in playing time relative to last week's 54 percent snap share.

The Saints placed Vele (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday, WWLAM's Jeff Nowak reports.

Vele became a big part of the Saints offense the past three games, only to go down with a shoulder injury Week 15. It sounds like it wasn't overly serious and he would've been able to return at some point if the injury had occurred earlier in the season.

Coach Andy Reid said Rice (concussion) didn't practice Friday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Rice emerged from this past Sunday's loss to the Chargers with concussion symptoms and wasn't able to practice in any capacity as the Chiefs prepare for this Sunday's game at Tennessee. Reid relayed that he'll meet with Kansas City's training staff in the near future to determine who will be ruled out for Week 16 action, but because Rice has made no notable progress through the protocol for head injuries, he seems destined to be out this weekend.

London (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Arizona, with Falcons coach Raheem Morris saying Friday that the expects the wideout to play, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

London is on track to return from a four-game absence after logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. Fantasy managers will still need to keep an eye on the situation ahead of Sunday's 4:05 pm. ET kickoff, as London didn't quite make enough progress to avoid an injury designation for the game. It'll be a good matchup if he plays, given Arizona's recent struggles on defense.

Oliver (knee) won't be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Oliver hasn't played since Week 2 due to a knee injury. His window to return to practice was opened Wednesday, but he isn't quite ready to return to game action. Oliver remains on IR, with his next chance to see game action coming in Week 17 against the Saints.

Lamb (illness) returned to practice Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Lamb's return at the end of the week suggests he should be fine for Sunday's game against the Chargers. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but there's been no hint of concern coming out of Dallas.

Moore (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Moore practiced without limitations all week, but he will need to be activated from injured reserve with an official transaction to be eligible to suit up Sunday. If he rejoins Carolina's receiving corps, Moore would likely return to a depth role behind Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker.

Higgins (concussion) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Per Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer, coach Zac Taylor noted Friday that Higgins -- who was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday -- still has one more hurdle to clear in the NFL's concussion protocol. Fortunately for those considering the wideout in Week 16 fantasy lineups, the Bengals' kickoff Sunday is at 1:00 p.m. ET. If Higgins isn't cleared to face Miami, Mitchell Tinsley would be in line to see added WR snaps alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas.
