Taylor (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at the Buccaneers, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

After being limited during practice this week, Taylor appears poised to suit up for Week 15. The 28-year-old wideout has caught six passes for 62 yards on 10 targets through 13 games in 2022.

Boyd (finger) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

The same goes for fellow wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring), which bolsters a Bengals' passing offense that will be minus top tight end Hayden Hurst. In that context, Boyd -- who was limited to just two snaps in Week 14 after suffering a dislocated finger -- figures to profile as the team's No. 3 target versus Tampa Bay behind Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins, barring any in-game setbacks. It remains to be seen how much, if at all, Boyd is hampered by his finger injury, but it's worth noting the 29-year-old was listed as a full practice participant Friday.

Higgins (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

As is fellow wideout Tyler Boyd (finger), which is good news for Cincinnati's Week 15 passing attack, with top tight end Hayden Hurst (calf) unavailable. Higgins was limited to just one snap in Week 14 due to his hamstring issue, but after being limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, the 2020 second-rounder was listed as a full participant Friday. That practice pattern suggests he has a chance of seeing closer to his normal workload this time around, in the absence of any in-game setbacks.

Meyers (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

After finishing the week with a limited practice, Meyers will suit up Sunday, following a one-game absence due to a concussion he sustained versus the Bills on Dec. 1. With fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) inactive, Meyers should reclaim his key pass-catching role in the Patriots' Week 15 offense alongside Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton. Through 10 games to date, Meyers is averaging five catches (on 6.7 targets) for 59.3 yards to go along with three TDs, a pace the keeps him on the fantasy radar, particularly in PPR formats.

Brown (illness) is active for Sunday's game at Denver, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

After an illness sidelined Brown from Thursday's practice, he returned as a limited participant Friday and went into the weekend with a questionable designation. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported late Saturday that Brown was in line to suit up Week 15, which has come to fruition. Brown will be on the receiving end of passes from Colt McCoy for the rest of the campaign following Kyler Murray's season-ending ACL tear. With four games to go in the regular season, Brown has reeled in 53 of 80 targets for 565 yards and three touchdowns in eight appearances, despite a rotating cast of personnel in Arizona's offense.

St. Brown (concussion) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

St. Brown was spun to the turf at the end of a 20-yard reception early in the first quarter and remained there for a spell before going to the sideline tent and eventually the locker room. With St. Brown's Week 15 over and Chase Claypool (knee) and N'Keal Harry (coach's decision) inactive, the Bears will be down to Dante Pettis, Byron Pringle, Velus Jones and Nsimba Webster at wide receiver.

St. Brown is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Eagles.

At the end of a 20-yard catch early in the first quarter, St. Brown was slammed to the turf by a Philly defender and stayed down. After eventually making a brief visit to the sideline tent, he went to the locker room to determine if he indeed has a concussion. If St. Brown is diagnosed with one, he'll join Chase Claypool (knee) and N'Keal Harry (coach's decision) as unavailable, leaving Dante Pettis, Byron Pringle, Velus Jones and Nsimba Webster as the Bears' remaining wide receivers.

Harry (back) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

Chicago's bye in Week 14 was apparently not enough time for Harry to fully recover from a lingering back injury, and he'll now be forced to sit out in Week 15. With the Bears paper-thin at wide receiver, tight end Cole Kmet could operate as the team's top pass-catching option Sunday.

Shenault (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Shenault was listed as questionable heading into the weekend after the shoulder issue limited his participation in practices Wednesday through Friday, but the versatile wideout ultimately received the green light for Sunday. In the two games since Sam Darnold took over as Carolina's starting quarterback, Shenault has accrued six receptions for 50 yards on six targets while carrying twice for nine yards.

Toney (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Toney was limited at practice this past week, but he'll give it go Sunday, which will mark his first game appearance since injuring his hamstring during Week 11 action. With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) still not available, Toney has a chance to claim a key role in Kansas City's Week 15 passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but until the 2021 first-rounder gets a full and productive game in, he'll profile as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.
