  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Off injured reserve

    Parker (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

    Parker has played in just one game since Week 4 thanks to a lingering shoulder issue. The veteran wide receiver had been quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's favorite target early in the season, but rookie Jaylen Waddle has assumed that mantle as of late. With a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way and Tagovailoa's emerging capabilities under center, it's possible Miami's offense could cater two fantasy-relevant wide receivers, although that does not factor in the potential return of Will Fuller (finger), who could be designated to return from injured reserve soon.

  • Patriots' Gunner Olszewski: Questionable against Bills

    Olszewski (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Buffalo, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Olszewski landed on the injury report to begin the week and has logged three consecutive limited practices. That leaves him questionable for Monday, and his potential absence would leave a key void in both New England's kick and punt return game.

  • Brandon Powell WR | MIN

    Rams' Brandon Powell: Promoted from practice squad

    Powell was elevated from the Rams' practice squad Saturday.

    Powell signed with the Rams' practice squad in early November and also spent time with Miami earlier in the season. He'll likely serve exclusively on special teams, particularly if Odell Beckham (hip) is able to play as expected.

  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Texans' Chris Moore: Ready to fill in at slot

    Moore is the likely replacement at slot receiver for the injured Danny Amendola (knee) on Sunday against the Colts, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Moore, who opened the season on the practice squad, was the primary slot receiver earlier when Amendola missed four games due to a hamstring injury. He was made a permanent resident on the active roster following Week 5, when he impressed with five grabs, 109 yards and a touchdown in a loss to New England. He's been marginalized since Amendola returned, but Moore's in line for an uptick in targets Sunday and beyond. As is Davion Davis, who could make his debut for the Texans after the team signed him in October. Amendola is expected to miss at least four games, per a source.

  • Broncos' Tyrie Cleveland: Ready for Week 13

    Cleveland (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Cleveland suffered a hamstring injury during practice leading up to the team's Week 12 matchup against the Chargers and remained sidelined for the game. However, he was able to practice in limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday prior to logging a full session Friday in preparation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He should serve primarily in a special-teams role.

  • Patriots' Gunner Olszewski: Picks up ankle issue

    Olszewski (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday.

    Olszewski began the week on the injury report and has logged two limited practices since. That will give him the opportunity to suit up Monday against the Bills, though there should be more clarity come the team's final practice Saturday.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Dolphins' DeVante Parker: May be activated for Week 13

    Parker (shoulder) practiced throughout the week and could be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game against the Giants, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

    The Dolphins need to make a move by Saturday at 4 p.m. ET to have Parker in the lineup for Sunday's game, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. The veteran wideout is averaging 5.0 catches for 65.4 yards on 8.6 targets per game this year, but he's played just one game since Week 4, and Jaylen Waddle's emergence could leave Parker with a smaller share of the Miami passing game going forward. On the other hand, Parker has done well in the two full games he and Tua Tagovailoa have played together this year, putting up 81 against New England (Week 1) and 85 against Buffalo (Week 8).

  • Buccaneers' Justin Watson: Still yet to practice

    Watson (knee) has yet to return to practice after being placed on the reserve/PUP list in August, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    The wide receiver sustained the knee injury in training camp and had surgery in July. The expectation was that Watson would be able to return at some point in November, but he hasn't returned to practice yet.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: May get more work sans Deebo

    Aiyuk should be headed for a key role in the 49ers' passing game with fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) ruled out for Sunday's contest in Seattle, Jerry McDonald of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    In addition to the opportunity for added targets, Aiyuk seems to be on the same page with head coach Kyle Shanahan, with both agreeing that the wideout has come a long way since he was reduced to a part-time role sharing snaps with Trent Sherfield early in the season. Samuel's absence for Week 13 (and possibly Week 14) leaves Aiyuk and tight end George Kittle as the far-and-away top options for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who has led the team to three straight wins while attempting 26 or fewer passes in each game. Aiyuk has done much better of late even with Samuel and Kittle competing for Garoppolo's attention, averaging 4.6 catches for 67.2 yards and 0.4 touchdowns on 6.4 targets per game in Weeks 8 through 12.

  • Rams' Odell Beckham: Practices, listed as questionable

    Beckham (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Jacksonville after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    According to Cameron DaSilva of USA Today, Rams head coach Sean McVay said that he expects Beckham to play this weekend after the wideout sandwiched a pair of limited practices around an absence Thursday. The Rams have depth receiver Ben Skowronek (back) healthy again if they want Beckham to suit up but handle a reduced role following a 10-target, 98-percent snap share outing in last week's loss to Green Bay. The Rams and Jaguars are scheduled for a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.
