There is optimism in the Bears organization that Odunze (foot) will be available to play against the Browns on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Odunze did not play against the Packers in Week 14 due to a foot injury. He earned the questionable tag for Sunday's game after failing to log a full practice during Week 15 prep, but it appears the second-year wideout is on track to return against Cleveland. Odunze's official status may not be known until the Bears announce their list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which would give fantasy managers time to explore their options in case the 2024 first-rounder is not cleared to suit up. DJ Moore, rookie second-rounder Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus and tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet would all be slated for more targets from quarterback Caleb Williams in the event that Odunze doesn't play.

Culp brought in his only target for a six-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Culp was able to crack the stat sheet for the first time all season, making his one catch count via a six-yard score just past the midway point of the third quarter. He had a solid preseason and entered the 2025 campaign with expectations of a more prominent role behind Cade Otton (knee), but it took the latter's first absence of the season Thursday for Culp to finally get on the board while playing a season-high 20 snaps.

Shepard didn't log any snaps during the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Shepard was active for the contest, but with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan available and the rest of the Buccaneers' receiving corps also healthy, the veteran wideout failed to see the field for the first time all season. With Tez Johnson running ahead of Shepard at the moment, the latter is a fantasy non-factor.

Johnson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Johnson saw both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan return to the field Thursday, making it wholly unsurprising the rookie was limited to just one target and logged his lowest snap count (15) since his Week 1 NFL debut. Johnson was unable to convert that single look into a catch, making it two straight games without a reception. Provided the Buccaneers' receiving corps remains at full strength for the team's remaining three regular-season games, Johnson figures to be a fantasy afterthought.

Lewis (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Lewis was absent for the Colts' Week 14 loss, but he progressively increased his practice involvement ahead of Sunday's game against Seattle. He upgraded to a full session Friday but will remain questionable for the time being.

Gray reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Friday.

Gray was elevated and active for the second time this season for Thursday's loss to the Falcons. He played exclusively on special teams and managed one tackle.

Rourke (knee) is out for Sunday's game versus the Titans, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Rourke will have to wait at least one more week to suit up for his first NFL game as he continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered in his final year at Indiana. Mac Jones should continue to serve as San Francisco's top option at backup quarterback behind starter Brock Purdy.

Campbell (ankle) logged a limited practice Friday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Campbell hurt his ankle and knee in Miami's win over the Jets in Week 14. After being sidelined Thursday, he managed to log a limited session Friday, and he is trending positively toward being available Monday against the Steelers.

Martin (concussion) is out for Sunday's game versus Tennessee, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Martin sustained a concussion in Week 13 at Cleveland prior to San Francisco's Week 14 bye, and now he'll be sidelined for Week 15 as he continues to recover. His absence could mean more reps at linebacker for veteran Luke Gifford.

Gross-Matos (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game versus Tennessee, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Gross-Matos was just designated for return to practice from San Francisco's injured reserve list Thursday, but he'll have to spend at least one more game on the sideline as he nurses his hamstring injury. With Sam Okuayinonu (ankle) also out, Bryce Huff and 2023 second-rounder Keion White project as the 49ers' starters on the edge in Week 15.
