The Bills believe the foot injury Diggs sustained during Saturday's win over the Broncos won't cause him to miss any time, Kimberly Jones of NFL Network reports.

It's a huge sigh of relief for Buffalo, as the 27-year-old made a late exit from Saturday's blowout victory after catching 11 passes for 147 yards. Diggs will also have a couple extra days to rest up since the Bills have the Patriots on tap next Monday, Dec. 28. The wideout's status should be updated once Buffalo returns to the practice field Thursday, at the latest.

Jeudy secured one of five targets for 19 yards during Saturday's 48-19 loss to Buffalo.

Despite being drafted as the second receiver in the 2020 NFL draft class at the No. 15 overall, Jeudy's 40 receptions ranked just ninth among rookies entering Week 15. Drew Lock and the receiving corps weren't able to get on the same page against the Bills, as Denver wideouts remained without a catch until the 0:29 mark of the second quarter. The Alabama product has been particularly cold down the stretch, with a total of four receptions for 66 yards over his past four games combined. A Week 16 matchup against the Chargers' 10th-ranked pass defense provides more reason to stray away from Jeudy in fantasy lineups, but he did post his second-highest receiving output of the season (73 yards) against Los Angeles in Week 8.

Beasley secured eight of 10 targets for 112 yards during Saturday's 48-19 win against the Broncos.

Beasley continues to expand upon a career year, posting his fifth 100-yard receiving performance of 2020 after logging just three such performances in 31 appearances between 2018 and 2019. Though the 31-year-old endured a quieter week with five catches for 41 yards and no scores last Sunday night against Pittsburgh, his workload has remained steady with double-digit targets over four of the Bills' past five games. A Week 16 matchup at New England appears less than ideal, however, as Beasley posted a season-low two receptions and 24 yards against the Patriots on Nov. 1.

Diggs headed to the locker room during Saturday's 48-19 win over the Broncos with a foot injury.

The 27-year-old dominated throughout the contest, catching 11 of 13 targets for 147 yards before Buffalo announced the injury during the final stages of the fourth quarter. The specifics of the issue remain unclear, though Diggs was able to return to the sideline shortly after the injury announcement. Any potential absence would be significant for both the Bills and fantasy players.

Samuel (hamstring) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Packers.

As long as the versatile Samuel avoids any in-game setbacks, he should see his share of touches Saturday, even with DJ Moore back from the COVID-19 list. Through 12 games this season, Samuel has logged a 61/585/3 stat line as a receiver, while adding 29 carries for 139 yards and a pair of scores via the ground game.

Taylor (hamstring) is active for Saturday's game against the Panthers.

Taylor was considered questionable due to the hamstring injury, but it won't prevent him from suiting up Saturday. The 24-year-old sat out Week 14 and has played only a handful of offensive snaps over the past month, and he's unlikely to be significantly involved versus Carolina with the rest of the receiving corps healthy.

The Ravens activated Proche (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Proche will return from the COVID-19 list before actually being forced to miss any time. Count on the rookie sixth-round pick to serve as Baltimore's top punt returner versus the Jaguars on Sunday.

The Titans placed Raymond (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

Raymond won't be available for Sunday's game against the Lions, potentially setting the stage for Desmond King to handle punt returns. Cameron Batson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could also handle increased roles behind A.J. Brown and Corey Davis.

Brown has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The same applies to Miles Boykin and James Proche, which solidifies the Ravens' depth at wideout in advance of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, the three players were high-risk close contacts, but now that's he has passed through the necessary protocols, Brown should be able to handle his normal role in the offense Sunday.

Boykin was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The Ravens will have a relatively healthy receiving corps with Hollywood Brown, Boykin and Dez Bryant all eligible to play Sunday. As a result, it's hard to imagine Boykin seeing another 40-plus offensive snaps like he has in the previous two weeks.
