Marvin Harrison Jr. WR | ARI
Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Deemed questionable, says he's ready
Harrison (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, after telling reporters Friday that he expects to play, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Harrison was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, saying afterward that he's "good enough to go" this Sunday. He also said his heel injury is unlikely to resolve before the end of the season, but he thinks he'll be able to play through it in Weeks 16-18 after missing the past two games. In light of the 'questionable' designation, Arizona's late-afternoon kickoff (4:05 p.m. ET) is suboptimal for fantasy managers, with Harrison's availability taking on extra importance due to the impact on Michael Wilson's projection.

Kyle Van Noy MLB | BAL
Ravens' Kyle Van Noy: Set for SNF
Van Noy (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday night's game against the Patriots.
Van Noy upgraded to a full participant Friday, just in time to dodge an injury designation for Sunday's primetime contest. The veteran presence for the Ravens' defense will be set to suit up and help his team try to continue to stay in the race for the AFC North division title. The linebacker participated in 43 percent of defensive snaps in the 24-0 Week 15 shutout of the Bengals, logging one solo tackle and one interception in the team's defensive masterclass.

Chidobe Awuzie CB | BAL
Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Doubtful with foot issue
Awuzie (foot) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Awuzie managed to upgrade to a limited participant in practice Friday, so the cornerback has not been completely ruled out from playing in Sunday night's game. The 30-year-old's chances to suit up are likely tied to game-day mobility with the injured foot, and if he is unable to play, T.J. Tampa will step in as the starting outside cornerback opposite Nate Wiggins.

Chris Jones DE | KC
Chiefs' Chris Jones: Avoids injury designation
Jones (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.
Jones was a limited participant in practice to open the week, but with full participation Friday, he is ready to go in the Chiefs' Week 16 matchup Sunday. The 31-year-old has not missed a game this season, accounting for 22 tackles (11 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and two pass breakups in 14 starts.

John Jenkins DT | BAL
Ravens' John Jenkins: Questionable with illness
Jenkins (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Jenkins missed consecutive practices to end the week with an illness he picked up Thursday. The immune system is likely the only thing limiting the defensive tackle's playing chances, and if he can recover by Sunday night, he should suit up against the Patriots. If the illness persists, Aeneas Peebles and CJ Okoye will likely see an increased defensive snap share in primetime.

Darren Waller TE | MIA
Dolphins' Darren Waller: Set for Week 16
Waller (rest/knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Bengals, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Waller was listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday with rest/knee, but his return to all activity Friday clears him for Week 16 action. He'll be working with a new signal-caller Sunday, as rookie Quinn Ewers is taking over for Tua Tagovailoa. Nevertheless, in his seven appearances this season, Waller has had a knack for finding the end zone, as evidenced by his 20-243-6 line on 26 targets.

Mason Tipton WR | NO
Saints' Mason Tipton: Questionable to face Jets
Tipton (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets after missing practice Thursday and Friday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
With Devaughn Vele (shoulder) recently placed on injured reserve, Tipton has a chance to step up as the Saints' No. 2 WR over the final three weeks of the season. If he can't play Sunday, the Saints will turn to Dante Pettis and Kevin Austin -- both of whom figure to have roles even if Tipton is active.

Tyrod Taylor QB | GB
Jets' Tyrod Taylor: Questionable, likely to be backup
Taylor (groin/knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Brady Cook has already been named the Week 16 starter, so Taylor and Justin Fields (knee) have been competing for the right to back up the undrafted rookie Sunday. Both Taylor and Fields are listed as questionable, but Taylor appears to be the likelier of the two quarterbacks to ultimately be deemed available. Taylor said Friday that he feels good enough to play Sunday, per Brian Costello of the New York Post, while Fields told Costello that he views himself as week-to-week.

Kyle Hamilton SAF | BAL
Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Questionable for Sunday
Hamilton (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Hamilton was a new addition to Friday's injury report with an ankle injury. The safety was able to log only a limited session for the last practice of Week 16, and his status for Sunday's primetime bout with the Patriots is in question. The ability to practice in any capacity means the starter will likely be able to play in what is a key game for the Ravens' playoff chances, but if he is unable to go, Ar'Darius Washington will likely start the game at strong safety.
-
Justin Fields QB | KC
Jets' Justin Fields: Listed questionable, won't start
Fields (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Fields and Tyrod Taylor (groin/knee) are both listed as questionable. The healthier of the two signal-callers is expected to work as the backup to Brady Cook, who will draw his second consecutive start. At this point, Taylor looks like a likelier bet to handle the No. 2 role than Fields, who described himself as week-to-week Friday, per Brian Costello of the New York Post.
