Moore (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Per Fowler, Moore had a productive week of practice and is thus trending toward suiting up versus Pittsburgh, though the wideout's status is nonetheless worth confirming. Fortunately for those inclined to use Moore in Week 15 fantasy lineups, the Panthers kick off among the early wave of Sunday games at 1 p.m. ET.

Hart caught his lone target for a three-yard gain in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the 49ers.

Hart entered the lineup after being a healthy scratch in each of the previous three games. He played just two offensive snaps, tying rookie Dareke Young for fourth among Seahawks wideouts. Hart and Young could both handle increased reps in Week 16 versus the Chiefs following news that Tyler Lockett (finger) is expected to miss at least one game. DK Metcalf and Marquise Goodwin are locked into the top two spots, though.

Young played two offensive snaps in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the 49ers and didn't record a catch.

Young did haul in a 22-yard pass in the second quarter, but it was negated by a holding call. That would've been his first career catch. He could have more opportunities to snag his first pass in Week 16 versus the Chiefs because Tyler Lockett is expected to miss at least one game with a broken finger, leaving DK Metcalf and Marquise Goodwin as the top pass catchers. Young and Penny Hart will battle for the No. 3 job, and it wouldn't be surprising to see both players handle a modest snap count.

Snead reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Snead was elevated ahead of Thursday's 21-13 win over the Seahawks. He played 17 of his 20 snaps on special teams and did not record any stats. Snead has been active for three games and has yet to be targeted.

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

Meyers closed out the week with a limited practice, which gives him a chance to return to action this weekend following a one-game absence. Meanwhile, fellow wideout DeVante Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest. Look for added context with regard to Meyers' Week 15 status to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday, but if he's available, the 26-year-old would presumably be in line to reclaim a key role in a Patriots wideout corps that also includes Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.

James cleared concussion protocol Friday and no longer has an injury designation for Sunday's game at Washington, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

James should be a big part of the offense, as he's taken most of the slot snaps since Wan'Dale Robinson's ACL tear and is coming off season highs for snap share (91 percent) and targets (nine) in a 48-22 loss to Philadelphia last week. He had a 7-61-1 receiving line before suffering a concussion late in the game, working alongside Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins (all three topped 80 percent snap share with the Giants falling behind early and rarely using multi-TE formations). A better performance from the team this week likely would mean fewer targets for James, among others.

Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Las Vegas.

Parker suffered a head injury Monday in Arizona and was unable to return, and he eventually entered the concussion protocol, joining teammate Jakobi Meyers. While Meyers has a chance to limit himself to a one-game absence this weekend, Parker will sit out, leaving the Patriots with a potential receiving corps of Meyers, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton, among others, Sunday. Parker's next opportunity to play will arrive Saturday, Dec. 24 against the Bengals.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Gray (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Gray suffered a hamstring injury in the second half of Thursday's 21-13 win over Seattle and didn't return. However, he appears to have avoided a significant injury and could return to action in Week 16. The rookie third-round pick has made 10 appearances this season, securing just one of seven targets for 10 yards across 62 offensive snaps.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Denver, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown's return to a limited practice Friday puts him on track to avoid the inactive list approximately ahead of a 4:05 ET kickoff Sunday. While not much has gone right in Arizona this year, the Cards at least have a strong WR duo in Brown and DeAndre Hopkins to help out backup QB Colt McCoy. With top cornerback Patrick Surtain likely to shadow Hopkins for at least part of the game, Brown figures to run a lot of his routes lined up across from rookie Damarri Mathis and 31-year-old K'Waun Williams (both have been solid this year, but not on Surtain's level).

Jeudy is set to be the Broncos' featured wide receiver Sunday against the Cardinals with both Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) ruled out for the contest, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

While Jeudy should have his fill of targets, they won't be coming from Russell Wilson, as the quarterback remains in the concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Week 15 action. Instead, Jeudy will be operating with Brett Rypien, who has managed just 5.6 yards per attempt on 96 passes across six career appearances. Still, Jeudy currently is on a nice two-game run, which has amounted to 12 catches (on 13 targets) for 138 yards and three touchdowns, with all three scores coming last Sunday versus the Chiefs.
