Beckham was limited in Friday's practice due to a bruised quadriceps but won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Redskins, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Beckham's injury first surfaced in the Week 12 loss to the Eagles. It didn't prevent Beckham from logging his second-most snaps of the season in the Giants' subsequent contest against the Bears, though he was limited to three receptions for 35 yards on nine targets in the victory. In any case, Beckham hasn't been included on any of the Giants' injury reports since suffering the quad issue, so his fantasy outlook should remain promising Sunday, when he'll take on a Washington squad that he lit up for eight receptions for 136 yards Week 8.

Anderson (ankle) took part in Friday's practice, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Anderson was limited at Thursday's practice after getting in a full session Wednesday, and it's still not clear why he did less than the day before. Regardless, he has still taken part in practice all three days this week, which bodes well in regards to his availability for Sunday's game in Buffalo.

Coach Bill O'Brien said Friday that Coutee (hamstring) is "trending upwards," but noted the wideout's status for Sunday's tilt with the Colts won't be decided until gameday, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

Coutee was in the same position last week and ultimately was ruled inactive, so there could be some risk in planning to include him in fantasy lineups ahead of the 1 PM ET kickoff. His official injury designation for Week 14 will be revealed at some point after Friday's practice.

Cole brought in three of seven targets for 55 yards in the Jaguars' 30-9 loss to the Titans on Thursday.

Cole brought in a game-long 35-yard reception on a nifty grab down the left sideline in the third quarter, and he checked in second only to Dede Westbrook in receiving yardage on the night. The 25-year-old went through a three-game streak where he was shut out of the stat sheet altogether, so his five receptions for 71 yards over the last two games actually represents a nice uptick in production. The week-to-week fantasy value of any member of the Jaguars' air attack is difficult to predict, but Cole will look to continue building momentum against the Redskins in a Week 15 interconference matchup.

Diggs (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

After one capped practice, Diggs has already matched his activity level from a week ago, when we went on to be active at New England and haul in five of his six targets for 49 yards. The target count equaled his second fewest of the season, so the fact he appears healthier this week could result in an increase in looks. Assuming he staves off the issue and suits up Sunday in Seattle, Diggs will be looking to produce against a defense that has allowed 8.4 YPT and 12 touchdowns to wide receivers in 12 games this season.

Coutee (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Unless Coutee logs every rep of Friday's practice, it seems likely that he'll carry a questionable designation into the weekend for the second straight contest. Coach Bill O'Brien labeled the rookie a game-time call in Week 13 before Coutee was ultimately inactive for the Texans' 29-13 win over the Browns. It wouldn't be surprising if O'Brien labeled Coutee the same way again ahead of Sunday's tilt with the Colts, which would make the wideout a risky option in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Ridley (hand/elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Ridley's reps were capped for the second day in a row, but there haven't been any reports suggesting his availability for Sunday's game against the Packers in serious jeopardy. Top wideout Julio Jones (foot) seems to be less healthy than Ridley, though coach Dan Quinn said he expects Jones will also be good to go for the Week 14 matchup. In the event Jones fails to progress as anticipated, Ridley and Mohamed Sanu would both see sizable boosts in their respective fantasy outlooks for the weekend.

Thomas (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Thomas' activity confirms that his lack of participation in Wednesday's session was for maintenance purposes more than anything else. The Saints' top wideout can be locked into fantasy lineups with confidence come Sunday, when he'll face off against the same Tampa Bay squad he torched for 16 receptions for 180 yards and a touchdown in Week 1.

Beasley (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News reports.

As coach Jason Garrett intimated Wednesday, the sprained right foot Beasley sustained in the Cowboys' Week 13 win over the Saints was never a major concern, a notion validated by the full workout the wideout put in Thursday. Beasley should remain a regular fixture in three-receiver formations Sunday against the Eagles, but his stable role hasn't meant much for fantasy purposes lately. Over the past five contests, Beasley has hauled in 15 of 22 targets for 118 yards and no touchdowns.

Powell (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Powell was limited in practice to begin the week, but he now appears on track to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 14. The undrafted rookie has only caught one pass for six yards this season, but he could be in line for notable targets Week 14 with Kenny Golladay (quadriceps) and Bruce Ellington (back) both nursing injuries.
