Waddle, who is questionable for Sunday's contest against Cleveland due to a knee injury, isn't likely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Per Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site, the team had some optimism about Waddle being able to suit up against the Browns after he was a limited participant in practices Thursday and Friday, but Rapoport's report suggests the wideout is expected to miss a second straight contest. If Waddle does sit out, it will be a big blow to a Miami passing attack that will also likely be without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who is doubtful due to a hip injury. Meanwhile, Rapoport notes that No. 1 receiver Tyreek Hill is expected to play despite a lingering wrist injury, and Hill could be peppered with plenty of targets while joined by wideout Malik Washington and tight end Jonnu Smith as the top options for presumed fill-in quarterback Tyler Huntley.

Hill (wrist), who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The wrist issue is a lingering one for Hill, but he's yet to miss a game because of it, and he looks set to take the field once again Sunday. However, his outlook is hazy in part due to the expected absence of Tua Tagovailoa, who is officially doubtful to play due to a hip issue. Rapoport notes that No. 2 wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee) isn't likely to suit up either, which could lead to the Browns focusing more of their attention on Hill. If things go the way they seem to be trending, the Dolphins passing attack Sunday will consist of Tyler Huntley at quarterback, with Hill and Malik Washington leading the team's wideout corps and tight end Jonnu Smith playing a significant role as well.

Kupp recorded one reception on three targets for 29 yards in Saturday's 13-9 win over the Cardinals.

Kupp's one reception was pivotal to the Rams' win, as it helped set up their only touchdown of the game. However, the performance continued his recent slide in production, as he has now been held below 30 receiving yards in four of his last five games. Kupp hasn't been on the injury report since returning from an ankle injury in Week 8, making his recent disappearance from the offense particularly baffling.

Nabers (toe), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Indianapolis, is likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A toe issue kept Nabers from practicing Wednesday and Thursday before he advanced to limited participation Friday, and the injury doesn't look as though it will prevent him from suiting up against the Colts. The rookie wideout will be chasing a few milestones if he does indeed play, as he's three catches away from 100 and 31 receiving yards way from 1,000 for the season. Nabers is also chasing Puka Nacua's NFL rookie record of 105 receptions, though Raiders first-year tight end Brock Bowers is even closer to the mark with 101 catches on the campaign.

Wilson brought in four of six targets for 22 yards in the Cardinals' 13-9 loss to the Rams on Saturday night.

Wilson finished third in receptions and targets on the night behind Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison, but he was way behind his teammates' respective 123- and 96-yard tallies. It was another lackluster showing for Wilson, who hasn't eclipsed 57 receiving yards since Week 5 and has four or fewer receptions in seven of the last eight games. The second-year wideout will close out the season at home against the 49ers in Week 18.

Nacua recorded 10 receptions on 14 targets for 129 yards in Saturday's 13-9 win over the Cardinals.

It was a lackluster performance for the Rams' offense, as Nacua was the team's only receiver to top 30 yards and was on the receiving end of 10 of Matthew Stafford's 17 completions. Though he didn't find the end zone, Nacua did record six receptions of at least 10 yards to top the century mark for the fifth time in 10 contests since returning from a knee injury. While his results may be a bit inconsistent due to Stafford's recent struggles, Nacua has established himself as the top receiving threat in the offense, ahead of Cooper Kupp.

Adams, who is questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo due to a hip injury, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reported Friday that the Jets were optimistic about Adams being able to play Sunday, and the star wideout still looks to be trending toward suiting up against the Bills. Adams practiced just once this week, logging a limited session Friday, but there's no indication he'll have any restrictions if he suits up as expected Sunday. Schefter notes that Adams "would like to" be on the receiving end of Aaron Rodgers' 500th touchdown pass -- the veteran quarterback would reach that milestone with his next scoring toss.

Harrison secured six of 10 targets for 96 yards in the Cardinals' 13-9 loss to the Rams on Saturday night.

The talented rookie finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets while posting his best totals in the first two categories since Week 8. Harrison's yardage tally was the third best of his career to date, and after weeks of middling production, the spike was encouraging. Harrison will head into a Week 18 matchup against the 49ers with a distant shot at cracking the 1,000-yard barrier for the season, as he'll need 178 receiving yards versus San Francisco's talented secondary.

Sutton recorded five receptions on nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Sutton had only one catch in the first half but came alive along with the entire Denver offense in the final two quarters. He made a leaping six-yard touchdown grab to tally his seventh score of the season late in the third quarter and later chipped in long grabs of 15, 14 and 13 yards. Sutton has at least nine targets in seven of his last nine games and remains the primary option in the Broncos' passing attack.

Mims recorded eight receptions on eight targets for 103 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals.

Mims saw a career-high eight targets and turned in the third 100-yard performance in two years as a pro. He had a pair of highlight-reel touchdown receptions, the first coming on a 51-yard deep shot midway through the fourth quarter when he got behind a pair of defenders. Mims followed that up with a leaping 25-yard touchdown grab with eight seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime. After failing to top 18 yards in a game through Week 10, Mims has at least 62 receiving yards in three of his last four games and is making the case to have a key role in Denver's offense in 2025.
