Andy Isabella WR | SF
Cardinals' Andy Isabella: Questionable for Cleveland matchup
Isabella (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The rookie wide receiver will carry a designation into the weekend after he was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday. A Week 15 absence wouldn't have a huge impact on Arizona's game plan, considering Isabella has maxed out at four targets (Week 11) and 26 offensive snaps (Week 10). In any case, he should be able to play.

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Remains sidelined this week
Renfrow (ribs) won't play Sunday against the Jaguars, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
With Renfrow -- who last played in Week 12 -- still out, Tyrell Williams and Zay Jones should headline the Raiders' wide-receiver corps once again. Keelan Doss and Rico Gafford are also in the mix for added snaps.

Keelan Cole WR | LV
Jaguars' Keelan Cole: Should help replace Chark
Cole, Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley will work as the Jaguars' top three receivers Sunday against the Raiders with No. 1 option DJ Chark (ankle) ruled out for the contest, John Oehser of Jacksonville's official site reports. "Obviously, we're looking for those guys to step up," coach Doug Marrone said after Friday's practice.
Westbrook (55 receptions for 569 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games) and Conley (38-632-2 in 13 games) have well outpaced Cole in production this season, leaving those two as better bets to absorb most of Chark's vacated target volume. There should still be room for Cole to have a regular role in three-receiver sets and play at least half of the Jaguars' offensive snaps, assuming the Raiders keep the game competitive and force Jacksonville to deviate from an overly run-heavy script. With a 55.1 percent catch rate and an 8.1 yard-per-target mark for his career, Cole has essentially been a boom-or-bust option during his three NFL seasons and may need to connect on a deep-ball target to bring value in DFS contests.

Ty Montgomery WR | NE
Jets' Ty Montgomery: Backup duties in loss
Montgomery recorded two carries for five yards and hauled in his only target for five yards during Thursday's 42-21 loss to the Ravens.
Montgomery also returned four kickoffs for 93 yards, with a long of 34 yards. If Bilal Powell (ankle/illness) is forced to miss any more time, Montgomery will continue to serve as the top backup to Le'Veon Bell.

Miles Boykin WR | CHI
Ravens' Miles Boykin: Scores on lone target
Boykin caught his lone target for a five-yard touchdown in Thursday's 42-21 win over the Jets.
After not being targeted for two straight weeks, Boykin got back in the action Thursday with his first touchdown since Week 4 against the Browns. Boykin is still having a difficult time getting consistent target volume, though, so the score doesn't necessarily portend a role increase in the coming weeks. Seth Roberts, who also caught a touchdown Thursday, seems to have the inside track for snaps ahead of Boykin on the left side of the Ravens offense. Boykin and the Ravens will travel to Cleveland in Week 16.

Alex Erickson WR | HOU
Bengals' Alex Erickson: To benefit from Tate, Green absences
Erickson is expected to have a regular role in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Patriots with A.J. Green (ankle) ruled out for the contest and Auden Tate (knee) recently moving to injured reserve, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
As Dragon notes, Green hasn't practiced since Nov. 4, so there's a real chance the star wideout remains sidelined for Weeks 16 and 17 as well. The absences of Green and Tate will open up snaps for Erickson alongside Tyler Boyd and John Ross, with the Wisconsin product likely to do most of his damage as a short-yardage target out of the slot. Erickson played 80 percent of the offensive snaps -- his second-highest rate of the season -- in the Bengals' Week 14 loss in Cleveland, finishing with five catches for 45 yards on seven targets.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: Ready for NFC North battle
Adams (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Chicago.
Adams was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, with the Packers managing his reps to reduce the odds of any complications from the toe injury that cost him four games earlier this season. The wideout has been productive - but perhaps a bit less explosive - since his return to the lineup, averaging 6.2 catches for 61.4 yards and 0.6 touchdowns on 9.8 targets in five appearances. Sub-freezing temperatures at Lambeau Field won't be optimal for passing/receiving production, but the forecast at least appears mild in terms of both wind and precipitation.

Christian Kirk WR | SF
Cardinals' Christian Kirk: Ready to face Cleveland
Kirk (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Kirk was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. He should be fine to handle his usual role as Kyler Murray's top pass-catching weapon, coming off last week's 8-85-0 receiving line on a 97 percent snap share in a 23-17 loss to Pittsburgh. The Browns have been a tough opponent for wide receivers, limiting the position to a 59.5 percent catch rate (ninth) and 7.7 yards per target (eighth).

Nelson Agholor WR | BAL
Eagles' Nelson Agholor: Questionable for Week 15
The Eagles list Agholor (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins.
The questionable designation implies that Agholor has a 50-50 shot to play in Week 15, but in reality, his odds of suiting are probably less than that after the knee injury prevented him from practicing Wednesday through Friday. With fellow starting wideout Alshon Jeffery (foot) heading to injured reserve earlier this week, the Eagles could be down to the fairly unproven trio of J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and Robert Davis as their regular options in three-receiver sets. All of those players would benefit from added snaps and targets if Agholor is sidelined, though the Eagles will likely aim to prioritize tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert in the passing game.

Mike Williams WR | LAC
Chargers' Mike Williams: Not listed on injury report
Williams (knee) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
The Chargers have monitored Williams' practice activity carefully for three consecutive weeks due to a knee issue, but it hasn't kept the big-bodied wide receiver off the field during game days. Despite recording three or fewer catches in five of the last six games, Williams has quietly continued to improve in what's shaping up as a career season. The 25-year-old ended his lengthy scoring drought last weekend against Jacksonville, finding the end zone for the first time in 2019.
