Las Vegas elevated Lacy to its active roster from the practice squad Friday for Saturday's game against Kansas City.

Lacy will have a chance to make his season debut in Week 18 after spending the majority of the campaign on the Raiders' practice squad. The undrafted wideout out of Oklahoma State caught three of 10 targets for 60 yards in seven appearances for the Lions during the 2019 campaign, but he hasn't seen regular-season action since.

Kansas City elevated Smith-Marsette to its active roster from the practice squad Friday for Saturday's matchup against Las Vegas, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

With Skyy Moore (hand) out and Mecole Hardman (pelvis) questionable, Smith-Marsette has been added to the active roster as insurance. In his lone appearance with Kansas City (Week 14), Smith-Marsette played three offensive snaps but didn't see any targets.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Lockett (shin) -- who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams -- looked good at Friday's practice and is expected to play, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Lockett injured his shin in his first game back after missing a week with a broken finger, ultimately seeing only two targets and 31 percent of the offensive snaps in the Seahawks' 23-6 win over New York last Sunday. Earlier this week, Lockett said he'll play in the must-win game this Sunday, and Carroll is singing the same tune after a successful showing in practice Friday. Cautious fantasy managers may want to stay tuned nonetheless ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, considering Carroll doesn't have the best track record of providing reliable injury information.

Samuel (ankle/knee) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Samuel will make his first appearance since suffering an MCL sprain and ankle sprain Week 14. His normal workload isn't assured for the Week 18 game, but it's certainly possible given that he's been practicing since last Thursday.

Waddle (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

After opening Week 18 prep with a pair of limited practices, Waddle was a full participant in Friday's session, putting to rest any concern about his status for the regular-season finale. As the Dolphins aim to secure a playoff spot Sunday, Waddle will be working with third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson, whom head coach Mike McDaniel named the team's Week 18 starter with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) ruled out and with Teddy Bridgewater (finger/knee) listed as questionable and expected to be available only in a backup capacity. In Thompson's lone other start Week 6 against the Vikings, Waddle finished with six catches for 129 yards on 10 targets.

Meyers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Meyers aggravated a shoulder injury in last week's win over the Dolphins, but given that he was able to practices Wednesday through Friday, the Patriots' top wide receiver should be on the field Sunday in a game that has playoff implications on both sides. In any case, Meyers' status will be confirmed in advance of the first batch of games Sunday, with New England and Buffalo kicking off at 1 p.m. ET.

Dulin doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

As expected, Dulin, who was sidelined for Week 17 with a concussion, will be available for Week 18 after logging full practices Wednesday through Friday. Across 11 appearances this season, the fourth-year wideout has caught 15 of 22 targets for 207 yards and one touchdown.

Parker (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing fully Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Parker, who last suited up Week 14, is thus slated to reclaim a key role in the Patriots' wideout corps in the regular-season finale. Prior to missing the last three games, Parker logged a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets through 12 games, a rate of production that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats in Week 18.

Dorsett (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Dorsett was unable to practice Friday after a limited session Thursday and was subsequently ruled out. He finishes the 2022 season with 20 catches for 257 yards and one touchdown on 40 targets.

Lockett (shin) returned to practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Lockett returned from finger surgery last week after missing just one game, only to suffer a shin injury that limited his playing time (31 percent snap share) in the win over New York. He said earlier this week that he'll play Sunday, and that seems to be the most likely outcome even if he isn't at his best. The Seahawks need a win at 4:25 p.m. ET and a Packers loss to the Lions in the Sunday night game to make the playoffs.
