Diggs caught four passes for 35 yards and one touchdown on seven targets against Carolina on Sunday.

Often matching up against top corner Stephon Gilmore while his quarterback dealt with both a tweaked foot and a relentless pass rush, Diggs had a difficult assignment Sunday against the Panthers. A player with his talent and usage often has a high floor even in unfavorable situations, and this game was a good example of that. A road matchup against J.C. Jackson and the Patriots isn't any easier in Week 16, but Diggs has a recent history of success against Bill Belichick's defense, including in the 2020 game at New England (nine catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns on 11 targets).

Lamb brought in six of nine targets for 50 yards in the Cowboys' 21-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Lamb paced the Cowboys in targets and checked in second in both receptions and receiving yards to Dalton Schultz, but a lack of trips to the end zone and just an 8.3 YPC made for a relatively modest fantasy performance overall. Lamb's numbers naturally played much better in PPR formats, and he's now posted at least six receptions in three straight games. The second-year standout does have a four-game touchdown drought, however, a matter he'll next get a chance to rectify in a Week 16 battle against Washington.

Moore left Sunday's game at Detroit due to an ankle injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Prior to his departure, Moore had three catches (on three targets) for nine yards, one carry for one yard, two kick returns for 48 yards and two punt returns for 18 yards. His next chance to play will be Saturday, Dec. 25 against the Colts.

Campbell (foot) is making good progress but there is no specific update regarding his status, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

Campbell has been sidelined since mid-October after undergoing foot surgery. He was given a two-to-three month timeline, meaning he could be in line for a return at any point. Even so, it doesn't sound as if his return is imminent. That will leave Michael Pittman, T.Y. Hilton and Zach Pascal as the Colts' primary wide receivers for the foreseeable future.

Taylor (abdomen) will play Sunday against the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Taylor left the Packers' Week 14 win over the Bears early with the injury and was limited in practice all week. With Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) also active, Taylor's role Sunday against the Ravens will be somewhat limited.

Brown (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

The Ravens will thus have their top wideout available for Sunday's contest, but he'll be catching passes from Tyler Huntley, with Lamar Jackson (ankle) not able to start. Brown nonetheless figures to see his share of Week 15 targets, as he'll continue to head a Baltimore wide receiving corps that will be minus Sammy Watkins (reserve/COVID-19 list). Through 12 games, Brown has logged a 70-866-6 stat line on 107 targets.

St. Brown (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game in Baltimore, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Since sustaining a concussion last Sunday against the Bears, St. Brown made negligible progress through the protocol for head injuries, missing all three Week 15 practices. With the fourth-year wide receiver sidelined, Green Bay will roll out Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Amari Rodgers, Malik Taylor and Juwann Winfree at wide receiver.

Valdes-Scantling (back) is listed as active Sunday in Baltimore, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

After a week in which his practice reps were capped due to a back injury, Valdes-Scantling will be available to the Packers offense Week 15. Working alongside top wide receiver Davante Adams doesn't allow for consistent volume, but Valdes-Scantling and fellow secondary option Allen Lazard will aim to exploit a Ravens defense that has conceded 8.6 yards per target (seventh worst in the NFL) and 12 touchdowns (tied for 15th most) to the position in 13 games this season.

Washington reinstated Sims (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

The NFL's decision to push back Washington's Week 15 game against the Eagles from Sunday to Tuesday provided enough time for Sims -- and likely more players to follow -- to clear all COVID-19-related protocols and help alleviate some depth concerns for the Football Team, which still has 13 members of the roster on the list and several more on injured reserve. The receiver room is one of the few position groups on the roster that hasn't been hit hard by COVID-19-related absences or injury, so Sims likely won't be in store for a sizable role Week 15. Sims saw extra work Week 14 against Dallas after top wideout Terry McLaurin exited early with a concussion, but McLaurin practiced fully Sunday for the second day in a row and appears on track to clear the NFL's five-step protocol for head injuries before Tuesday's game.

The Eagles reinstated Watkins from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

Philadelphia never revealed whether Watkins' placement on the list Monday was the result of a positive test of the virus, but the NFL's decision to postpone the Eagles' originally scheduled game for Sunday back to Tuesday due to COVID-19-related concerns within the Washington organization ultimately provided the receiver with enough time to clear the necessary protocols. Though he didn't have the benefit of practicing this week, Watkins should continue to hold down a regular role in three-receiver sets for the Eagles. He's played no fewer than 70 percent of the offensive snaps in any game since Week 5.
