Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Boykin is "on track" to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Wide receivers Marquise Brown and James Proche received the same vote of confidence from Harbaugh. Boykin was listed as a close contact to an infected person, and as long as he continues to test negative, he'll be in the lineup for Sunday's AFC clash. Dez Bryant will also be back in the lineup, so Boykin could see his reps decrease after consecutive games with higher than a 70 percent snap share.

The Dolphins are listing Grant (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

Grant will carry a designation into the Week 15 matchup after the hamstring injury rendered him a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday. He'll be one of three key Dolphins pass catchers entering Sunday's game in shaky health, as wideout DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are also listed as questionable.

Parker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Parker has strung together three consecutive limited practices since being forced out of last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, so he at least appears to have a shot to suit up Sunday. With Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) also listed as questionable, Parker's status will be of even greater import than usual in what's shaping up to be a must-win matchup for Miami.

Crowder (calves) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Chris Ryan of NJ.com reports.

The 27-year-old will be a limited practice participant Friday for the second straight day and appears to be trending in the right direction for Week 15. Crowder's status for Sunday's game will be officially known when the Jets release their inactive list about 90 minutes before the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Crowder (calves) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Chris Ryan of NJ.com reports.

The 27-year-old will be a limited practice participant for the second straight day and appears to be trending in the right direction for Week 15. Crowder is managing injuries to both calves, and his availability will officially be announced about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Johnson caught three of his five targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders.

Jalen Guyton's 53-yard reception late in overtime allowed him to overtake Johnson for the team lead, but the latter was arguably the Chargers' main catalyst on a night which saw Mike Williams (back) and Keenan Allen (hamstring) play limited snaps. Justin Herbert and Johnson have clearly developed a bit of chemistry this season, but expect the second-year wideout's fantasy value to fall back down considerably if Allen and Williams are able to shake off their respective injuries ahead of a Week 16 matchup with the Broncos.

Davis is position to serve as one of the Bills' starting receivers Saturday against the Broncos with teammate John Brown (ankle) still on injured reserve.

Davis should be set for at least one more week of increased playing time, as he's served as the Bills' clear-cut No. 3 receiver since Brown was put on the shelf. While Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley are the top two targets in the Buffalo passing game, Davis has a touchdown catch in three straight games and has seen at least four targets while playing no fewer than 83 percent of the offensive snaps in each contest.

Agholor brought in four of eight targets for 49 yards in the Raiders' 30-27 overtime loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.

The speedy wideout fought through what appeared to be a pinkie finger dislocation at one point to check in as a distant second to Darren Waller in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the Raiders for the night. Agholor's downturn after a 100-yard effort versus the Colts in Week 14 represented some unfortunate timing for fantasy managers with him on their postseason rosters, but Agholor has at least continued to be a serviceable option in full PPR formats most weeks. Thursday marked his fifth straight game with at least four catches. He'll look to up his overall production at the expense of the Dolphins in a Saturday night Week 16 matchup on Dec. 26.

Guyton brought in four of six targets for 91 yards in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders on Thursday night. He also rushed once for four yards.

On a night when both Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (back) were at least partly hobbled, Guyton took advantage of extra opportunity to post a career- and team-high yardage figure. The catch that propelled him to those accomplishments was the most critical of the game for Los Angeles, as it came in the form of a 53-yard grab on a post pattern with just 3:05 remaining in overtime and the Raiders holding a 27-24 lead. The play, which nearly resulted in a touchdown, ultimately set up a Justin Herbert one-yard game-winning scoring push into the end zone. Guyton had previously flashed this season with 72- and 84-yard showings in Weeks 4 and 7, respectively, and he'll look to continue a strong finish to the campaign in a Week 16 matchup against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 27.

Williams (back) brought in both of his targets for 22 yards in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders on Thursday night.

The speedster was rather surprisingly able to overcome his questionable status heading into the contest and joined fellow wideout Keenan Allen (hamstring) in suiting up, although both players made relatively modest impact. Williams had logged just two snaps against the Falcons in Week 14 before exiting due to the injury, so the fact he was able to play Thursday night would seem to bode well for his chances of garnering active status in 10 days for a Week 16 battle against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 27.
