Deebo Samuel WR | WAS
Commanders' Deebo Samuel: Questionable due to illness
Samuel (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants.
The Commanders added Samuel to their injury report at the end of the week, labeling him as a non-participant Friday. He'll have a couple of days to recover before a favorable matchup with the Giants at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. With TE Zach Ertz (knee) out for the season, QB Marcus Mariota already is running low on reliable pass catchers beyond Terry McLaurin.

Rashod Bateman WR | BAL
Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Officially questionable for Week 15
Bateman (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Bateman is still "fighting through" a lingering ankle sprain, and that the team will make a decision about his availability on Saturday. If Bateman isn't able to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup, all of DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester will be candidates to benefit from increased snaps behind top wide receiver Zay Flowers.

Derius Davis WR | LAC
Chargers' Derius Davis: Out for Week 15
Davis (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
The TCU product didn't practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 14 win over the Eagles, so it's no surprise he won't play Sunday. Davis has operated as the team's top return man in 2025, tallying 464 kick-return yards and 66 punt-return yards through 10 appearances. While he's out Week 15, expect KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Ladd McConkey to serve as Los Angeles' kick and punt returners, respectively.

Marquise Brown WR | KC
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Won't play Sunday
Brown (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Brown, who is tending to a personal matter, didn't practice Wednesday, was limited Thursday and then was listed as a non-participant Friday before being deemed out for Week 15. The wideout's next opportunity to return to the lineup will occur Sunday, Dec. 21 against the Titans. In Brown's absence this weekend, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy figure to lead the Chiefs' Week 15 WR corps, with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton candidates to see added snaps versus Los Angeles.

Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Won't play Sunday
Gould (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.
Gould sustained a foot injury in the Week 14 loss to the Jaguars and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise that he won't play Sunday. The second-year pro from Oregon State has operated as Indianapolis' top return man this season, tallying 647 kick-return yards and 131 punt-return yards across 11 appearances. While he's sidelined in Week 15, expect Ameer Abdullah and Josh Downs to handle the Colts' kick- and punt-return duties, respectively.

Malachi Corley WR | CLE
Browns' Malachi Corley: Questionable for Week 15
Corley (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The second-year pro from Western Kentucky sustained a concussion in the Week 14 loss to the Titans, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to play Sunday. Corley has appeared in nine games for the Browns this season, catching five of six targets for 34 yards and rushing seven times for 79 yards while operating as one of the team's top kick returners. He must still clear concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 15, and if he's unable to do so, Trayveon Williams will likely serve as one of Cleveland's top kick returners.

Quentin Johnston WR | LAC
Chargers' Quentin Johnston: Questionable due to groin injury
Johnston (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Kansas City due to a groin injury, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Johnston showed up on the Chargers' Week 15 practice report Friday as a limited participant, and his status thus is up in the air heading into the weekend. Sudden appearances on practice reports are typically indicative of health concerns suffered during drills, but in any case, the team will confirm Johnston's availability about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
-
Ladd McConkey WR | LAC
Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Set to play in Week 15
McConkey (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City.
A foot injury limited McConkey in all three Week 15 practices, but it won't impact his ability to suit up this weekend. He's been relatively quiet in two contests since the Chargers' Week 12 bye, hauling in just five of 11 targets for 51 yards and one touchdown. Fellow WR Quentin Johnston (groin) is listed as questionable, so a bit more volume could be coming McConkey's way if the former is inhibited or sidelined Sunday.
-
Davante Adams WR | LAR
Rams' Davante Adams: Questionable, expected to play
Adams (hamstring) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, but he's expected to play, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
Adams has been managing the same hamstring injury since September without ever missing a game, but there was perhaps some concern this week after he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. It sounds like the Rams may not share that concern, but they're still giving Adams an injury designation, which means his fantasy managers need to keep an eye on the situation this weekend, heading into a 4:25 p.m. kickoff Sunday.

David Moore WR | CAR
Panthers' David Moore: Practice window opening soon
Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Friday that Moore's (elbow) practice window will open next week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
The 30-year-old wideout has been sidelined since the Week 4 loss to the Patriots due to an elbow injury, but Canales' comments Friday suggest he's nearing a return. In the Panthers' first four games this season, Moore played 86 total snaps (81 on offense, five on special teams) and caught his lone target for five yards. Once he returns to full health, he's expected to play a depth role in the Panthers' receiving corps.
