Molden (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Molden suffered a hamstring injury against the Eagles that kept him out in Week 15 versus the Chiefs. With limited participation in practice all week, the 26-year-old has a chance to play Sunday. The fifth-year pro has 46 tackles (26 solo) in nine games played this season. Tony Jefferson will likely start if Molden is unable to play.

Lamb (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Lamb didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but was a full participant Friday. He'll take on a Chargers defense that's been tough on wide receivers, allowing a league-best 24.9 PPR points per game and 6.9 yards per target (fourth).

Elliss (illness) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday night's game against the Ravens.

Elliss missed Wednesday's practice with an illness but was able to log a full session Friday and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game. The linebacker is a key part of the Patriots' defense, logging eight tackles (three solo) and one pass defensed in last Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Bills.

Whittington secured his only target for 19 yards and returned two kicks for 41 yards during Thursday's 38-37 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

The absence of Davante Adams (knee/hamstring) didn't lead to an expanded role for Whittington, as he took the field for just 15 snaps on offense. His one contribution to the game was impactful, however, as his lone catch came on third down and helped push the Rams in range for a chip shot Harrison Mevis field goal. Whittington's usage has remained steady in the past four weeks and shows no signs of moving towards fantasy relevance before the Rams take a trip to Atlanta for a Monday night showdown in Week 17.

Barmore (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.

Barmore did not participate in Friday's practice after logging sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The downgrade in practice participation was due to a new knee injury the defensive end suffered, which does not bode well for his chances of suiting up Sunday night. If the 26-year-old is unable to go, rookie Joshua Farmer will likely see more defensive snaps.

Williams (neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Williams missed part of last week's loss to the Vikings after injuring his shoulder/neck, but he returned for the second half and took most of the carries, albeit with Malik Davis handling the bulk of the snaps on pass plays. Williams' return to full practice participation Friday suggests he won't have limitations this Sunday, though the Cowboys might eventually scale his workload back a bit if/when they're eliminated from playoff contention.

Davis (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

After not practicing all week, Davis will miss his second straight game due to an ankle injury that he suffered in Week 14. The 25-year-old operates as the team's primary kick returner. While he is out, KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Ladd McConkey are expected to take on a bigger load as kick and punt returners, respectively.

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.

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.

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.
