Moore (concussion) was cleared to return to Sunday's game against the Bills, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Moore briefly exited Sunday's game while being checked for a concussion but was cleared for a return. His return should only affect the special teams for the Ravens.

Moore was forced out of Sunday's game against the Bills with a concussion.

Moore isn't a big factor in the Ravens' passing attack, but his absence is a hit to the team's special-teams corps Sunday.

Coutee is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos after being a healthy scratch the last two weeks, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Coutee will re-enter the mix Sunday, with Will Fuller out with a hamstring injury. He figures to work behind DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills, a context that makes Coutee a Week 14 dart in PPR formats.

Brown (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Brown received the questionable tag after being added to the injury report with the ankle issue Thursday, but his status for Week 14 never truly appeared to be in doubt. The 22-year-old was limited to one catch for one yard last week against the 49ers, but the Bills' secondary doesn't represent an easy matchup for a rebound performance.

Pettis (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 49ers will be down two receivers in Pettis and Marquise Goodwin (knee/foot) in Week 14, but both players have been afterthoughts in coach Kyle Shanahan's offensive game plan of late. Even if Pettis shakes off the sprained knee in time for the Week 15 game against the Falcons, he likely won't be in line for more than a handful of snaps.

Goodwin (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Both Goodwin and Dante Pettis (knee) will be sidelined in Week 14, leaving the 49ers with only four receivers in uniform. Even while ostensibly healthy during the previous two weeks, Goodwin logged just one snap (on special teams) between the 49ers' win over Green Bay and loss to Baltimore.

Agnew (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game versus Minnesota.

Agnew will miss his third consecutive contest while tending to the ankle issue, despite working as a full practice participant Friday. With the 24-year-old suprisingly sidelined, Ty Johnson and Danny Amendola should assume return duties, with Rashaan Melvin operating as the team's No. 3 cornerback for Week 14.

Thielen (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Lions.

Such was the expectation when the Vikings marked Thielen as doubtful for this contest, resulting in his fifth absence in the last six games. He even failed to practice this week, an unexpected downturn after he logged limited work in prior weeks. On Sunday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed Thielen is attempting "to get scar tissue out of his (right) leg," but he's hopeful to make a return to action Week 15 on the road against the Chargers. While Thielen embarks on what is potentially the end of the road in his recovery, Minnesota's receiving corps will be led by Stefon Diggs, Kyle Rudolph, Bisi Johnson and Irv Smith Jr. yet again.

Coutee could see regular work alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Broncos with Will Fuller (questionable, hamstring) considered unlikely to play, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

A healthy inactive the past two weeks following Fuller's return to the lineup, Coutee should get the opportunity to dress in Week 14 after Fuller's hamstring issue nagged him in practices Wednesday through Friday. While DeAndre Carter suited up ahead of Coutee the past two weeks, his main value to Houston comes on special teams. Coutee represents an upgrade from Carter in the slot, so the second-year wideout should have a chance to put himself back on the map in what's been a disappointing campaign. With the Broncos likely to have top cornerback Chris Harris trailing Hopkins for most of the day, Stills and Coutee could end up drawing more targets than expected.

Montgomery is expected to take on an increased snap count Sunday against the Dolphins with lead back Le'Veon Bell (illness) ruled out for the contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Cimini notes that the second option on the Jets' depth chart, Bilal Powell, will likely see the most significant uptick in snaps/touches while Bell is sidelined, but there should still be some extra work to go around for Montgomery and Josh Adams as both players move up a spot in the pecking order. Montgomery, who has put up 114 total yards across 27 touches (19 carries, eight receptions) this season, still represents little more than a desperation play in the majority of fantasy leagues.
