Watson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Watson hasn't practiced since injuring his right hamstring in the waning moments of the Packers' Week 13 win against the Chiefs. He thus has little chance to suit up this weekend, and if that comes to pass, the Packers' receiving corps will be populated by Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed (ankle), Malik Heath and Samori Toure, while fellow WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is questionable for Week 15 action.

Atwell (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

As of Thursday, Atwell had managed just one limited practice this week due to the concussion that he suffered this past Sunday at Baltimore. Coach Sean McVay told Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic on Friday that Atwell is progressing through the protocol for head injuries, but his listing ahead of Week 15 action implies the wide receiver still requires clearance from an independent neurologist.

Philips (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

It's been somewhat of a lost season for the second-year wideout. Philips opened the season on injured reserve with a knee issue and was deemed a Week 13 healthy scratch before pulling his hamstring last Sunday. On the year, Philips has 13 catches for 166 scoreless yards. DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Chris Moore will continue to soak up the receiver snaps for the Titans.

Brown (heel) is practicing Friday, Jose Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brown played through the heel injury and handled full workloads Weeks 11 and 12, but he then missed most of the second half of a Week 13 win over Pittsburgh and initially was held out of practice when the Cardinals came back from a Week 14 bye. He returned to practice Thursday and now is participating again Friday, suggesting he'll at least try to play this Sunday against the 49ers.

Collins (calf) wasn't present for Friday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Given that Collins didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, the wideout doesn't seem likely to suit up Sunday against the Titans. If Collins is out this weekend, Noah Brown (knee) and Robert Woods would be in line to lead the Texans' Week 15 WR corps, with Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie also likely to see added opportunities this weekend.

Renfrow was unable to haul in either of his two targets in Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers.

Renfrow not only failed to contribute to the Raiders' 63 points, but he also played fewer offensive snaps (27) than fellow wide receiver Tre Tucker (29), who caught three passes for 59 yards and two touchdowns. Renfrow will continue to compete with Tucker for playing time behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers in Week 16 against the Chiefs.

Tucker caught three of four targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers. He also lost two yards on his only rushing attempt.

Tucker contributed to the Raiders' blowout victory by catching a pair of 20-plus yard touchdown passes in the first half, which also marked his first two NFL scores. The rookie logged just three offensive snaps against Minnesota in Week 14, but he was on the field for 29 plays Thursday compared to 27 for fellow wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. However, it's unlikely that a Week 16 matchup versus the Chiefs involves a similar game script.

Cowboys president Jerry Jones isn't too worried about Cooks (illness) missing Sunday's game at Buffalo, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Four Cowboys missed Thursday's practice because of illnesses, but Jones wasn't too worried about any of them during his Friday morning radio appearance. It sounds like Cooks is still on track for Sunday, though he might end up getting a designation on the final injury report Friday afternoon.

Hill (ankle) won't practice Friday and is slated to be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald and Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site report.

Hill thus will finish the week with three consecutive listed DNPs, which clouds the star wideout's Week 15 status. Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, coach Mike McDaniel noted Friday with regard to Hill's potential availability that "if he's confident he can be himself and I have the support of the trainers, he will play. If it's not, he won't." Look for added context to arrive closer to game-time, but fortunately for those considering Hill in fantasy lineups this weekend, the Dolphins kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If Hill is unavailable, fellow WRs Cedrick Wilson, Braxton Berrios, River Cracraft and Chase Claypool would be candidates to see added opportunities alongside Jaylen Waddle.

Godwin (knee) is practicing Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Godwin handled a full workload (11 targets, 84 percent snap share) in last Sunday's 29-25 win over Atlanta but then missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. His return Friday confirms the knee injury isn't serious, giving him a chance to play this Sunday against the Packers. Godwin has reached 11 PPR points just four times this season, with all four instances coming in consecutive appearances Weeks 4-8. He's recorded six or fewer catches for 58 or fewer yards in every other game, and his only TD since October came on a carry Week 13 when he finished without any receptions in a win over Carolina.
