Boyd is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Patriots due a left finger injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Boyd underwent surgery on one of his fingers two weeks earlier, so he presumably aggravated the digit in question at some point during Saturday's contest. If Boyd is unable to return to the Week 16 contest, he'll finish the game without a target.

Strachan (concussion) is good to go for Monday's matchup with the Chargers.

Strachan will return from a one-game absence after suffering a concussion in Week 14. Look for him to resume his usual role as the Colts' No. 5 wide receiver assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Moore (foot) is active for Saturday's game against the Titans.

Moore was a limited practice participant all week due to the foot issue, but now that he's avoided the inactive list, he should be secure in a full-time starting role both Saturday and for the rest of the season, after Nico Collins (foot) was moved to injured reserve. While both Collins and Brandin Cooks (calf) were sidelined for the past two weeks, Moore served as Houston's top option in the passing game, garnering 19 targets between those contests. Cooks is back in action after a three-game absence and should step back in as Houston's No. 1 wideout, but there could still be enough target volume to go around for Moore to retain fantasy relevance.

Thornton (knee) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

With DeVante Parker (concussion) inactive, Thornton should continue to see added snaps Saturday, but with a 17/166/1 stat line on 33 targets through 10 games overall, the 2022 second-rounder remains a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 16.

Goodwin (ankle/wrist) is active for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.

Goodwin, who had been managing the wrist issue heading into the week, was listed as questionable for Saturday's contest after he suffered a lateral ankle sprain during Wednesday's practice. He wasn't able to log any reps during the Seahawks' final session of the week Thursday, though coach Pete Carroll characterized his absence as more of a rest day. Assuming that's indeed the case, Goodwin shouldn't face any major restrictions in Kansas City, where he'll likely be stepping into a more pronounced role in the Seattle passing attack. DK Metcalf remains the Seahawks' unquestioned No. 1 target, but Goodwin or tight end Noah Fant could be next in line for looks from quarterback Geno Smith while Tyler Lockett (finger) is sidelined this weekend.

Meyers (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

Meyers approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice this week, but he'll play through his shoulder issue and should continue to log enough snaps and targets to merit lineup consideration in PPR formats. That said, the Patriots' top wide receiver's fantasy ceiling Saturday hinges on signal-caller Mac Jones rebounding from a 112-yard passing effort in the team's Week 15 loss to the Raiders, a game in which Meyers caught two of his six targets for 47 yards.

Cooks (calf) is active for Saturday's game against the Titans.

Even though Cooks was listed as questionable heading into Saturday, he never appeared to be at much risk of missing a fourth straight game after he closed Week 16 prep with two consecutive full practices. With Nico Collins (foot) out for the season, Cooks should step back in as Houston's undisputed No. 1 receiver the rest of the way, with the likes of Chris Moore, Phillip Dorsett and Amari Rodgers providing depth behind him. Over his first 10 appearances this season, Cooks averaged 4.4 receptions for 52 yards on 7.1 targets per contest, but he found the end zone just once.

Burks (concussion) is active for Saturday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Burks has been inactive for each of Tennessee's last two games due to a concussion. However, he practiced in full throughout the week and has cleared the league's protocol. Prior to his injury, Burks had shown signs of breaking out with three productive performances in a row. However, it's unclear how much Tennessee will be able to get its passing game going in the absence of Ryan Tannehill (ankle), creating at least some concern about Burks' potential output for the rest of the regular season.

Claypool (knee) is officially inactive for Saturday's game against the Bills.

Claypool was labeled doubtful after he put in only one limited practice this week, so he's unsurprisingly not available for Saturday's contest. Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) is also sidelined, leaving Byron Pringle, Dante Pettis, Velus Jones and N'Keal Harry to operate as Chicago's primary wideouts.

Meyers (shoulder) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Meyers is listed as questionable for the contest after practicing in a limited fashion Tuesday through Thursday, but Rapoport indicates that the wide receiver is trending toward being active versus Cincinnati. Official confirmation of Meyers' Week 16 status will arrive once the Patriots' inactives are posted ahead of Saturday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
