Slayton (illness) is listed as active Sunday against the Commanders.

The Giants held Slayton out of practice Thursday and Friday due to an illness, placing his status for Week 13 in question. Fellow wide receiver Kenny Golladay also came down with an illness Saturday and was added to the team's injury report, while Richie James also had practice limitations this week due to a knee issue. Among those three, only Golladay isn't available to New York's offense Sunday. As for Slayton, he's been the steadiest of the team's wide receivers over the last seven contests, recording at least 50 receiving yards on six occasions while averaging six targets per game.

Jeudy (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Jeudy will return to action after missing the Broncos' last two contests due to an ankle injury. He was listed as a non-participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday in a limited fashion, so there's some reason to suspect that he could be more limited than usual as he rejoins the lineup. In any case, Jeudy is expected to start out wide opposite Courtland Sutton, while Kendall Hinton likely steps in as the Broncos' primary slot man with KJ Hamler (hamstring) on injured reserve.

Doubs (ankle) is inactive Week 13 against the Bears.

Doubs returned to practice this Wednesday and proceeded to log limited sessions all week, but it won't be enough to get him back on the field for the must-win divisional matchup. With the late bye week ahead, Doubs will sit out his fourth consecutive contest, leaving Christian Watson, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb to lead the Green Bay receiving corps.

Sutton (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Sutton was added to the Broncos' injury report with a questionable designation after an illness prevented him from practicing Friday. The 27-year-old showed good progress when he was re-evaluated Saturday, however, and he's now been cleared to take the field Sunday. Expect Sutton to step back into his usual starting role for the Broncos, though he could get some more competition for targets with fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy (ankle) making his return from a two-game absence.

Chase (hip), who remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Chiefs, isn't likely to have any snap-count limitations in his return from a four-game absence, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

According to Wolfe, the Bengals plan on keeping an eye on Chase as the game rolls along, but so long he doesn't tweak his right hip during the contest, he looks like he'll be on the field for nearly every offensive down in his return to the lineup. Chase has logged snap shares between 86 and 100 percent in his seven appearances to date, compiling 47 receptions for 605 yards and six touchdowns on 74 targets in the process. Wolfe notes that Chase was on track to play in last week's win over the Titans before requesting that he received another game off to treat what was described as a hairline fracture of his hip and a hyperextended right leg. The extra maintenance he received in addition to the expectation that he won't be limited Sunday should clear up any hesitations fantasy managers might have had about activating Chase this week.

Williams (knee), who was activated from the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, is expected to be on a "very limited snap count" in his NFL debut Sunday against the Jaguars, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Lions envision the No. 12 overall pick in this year's draft filling a major role on offense over the long haul, but he'll be eased back into the mix Sunday after having suffered a torn ACL during his final collegiate game at Alabama back in January. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond and DJ Chark are likely to continue serving as Detroit's main three receivers this week, but Williams should have a decent chance at jumping Raymond and Chark on the depth chart by season's end if he remains free of setbacks with his knee while he gradually ramps up his snap count in the weeks to come.

Samuel (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported four hours earlier that Samuel is being treated as a true game-time decision ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but Schefter's report suggests the star wideout is likely on the probable side of the questionable tag. Regardless, the 49ers still plan to put Samuel through a pregame workout, and if his deep thigh bruise presents no complications, he'll avoid placement on the inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes before kickoff. Schefter nor Rapoport has provided any indication that Samuel will be limited if he plays.

Slayton (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, is expected to be healthy enough to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Slayton missed the Giants' final two practices of Week 13 due to the illness, but he appears to be making progress as Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. Managers planning on including Slayton in fantasy lineups this week will still want to make sure that he isn't included among the Giants' list of inactive players, which will be released 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

Jeudy (ankle), who is officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens, barring a setback, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jeudy has missed each of Denver's last two games with the injury, but he returned to practice in limited fashion Friday. He was previously reported to be a game-time decision, and his status will not become official until shortly before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if he is active, Jeudy could face a limited snap count.

Chase (hip), who is officially listed as questionable, is likely to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Chase has missed Cincinnati's last four games with the injury but has practiced for the last two weeks. He turned in a full session Friday, a good indication that he may be able to return. That said, Chase's status won't be officially confirmed until Cincinnati releases its inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
