Olszewski (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Olszewski earned the questionable tag for Week 15 after logging a full practice Friday, but it appears he has not progressed through the league's concussion protocol enough to be cleared to play Sunday. In his absence, the Giants will likely turn to Deonte Banks and Devin Singletary for return duties on kickoffs and punts. Olszewski's next opportunity to play is Week 16 against the Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Tillman (concussion/ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Tillman didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday, but he managed a limited session Friday. That will be enough for him to suit up, which also signifies that he cleared the league's concussion protocol. Tillman has yet to show much rapport with Shedeur Sanders, as he has only two catches for 28 yards across the three games that Sanders has started.

Davis is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

With Joshua Palmer back in action, Davis is the odd man out in the Bills' Week 15 WR corps. Also in the mix Sunday are Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks.

Palmer (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Palmer, who has missed the Bills' last two games, was limited in practice this week before approaching the contest listed as questionable. In his return to action Sunday, he'll rejoin a wideout corps that also includes Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks. In Buffalo's Week 14 win over the Bengals, the team's TEs were targeted a combined 13 times, while none of the WRs saw more than three targets. Prior to his injury, Palmer caught two passes in each of his previous five contests, a rate of production that limits his fantasy lineup viability to deeper formats.

Samuel (illness) is active for Sunday's game at the Giants.

Samuel didn't practice Friday due to an illness and ultimately was deemed questionable for Week 15 action. His lack of inclusion on the Commanders' list of inactives Sunday has cleared him to resume his typical role, which has meant 70-plus percent of the offensive snaps in nine of his 12 appearances this season. Having said that, with top TE Zach Ertz out for the rest of the campaign due to an ACL tear that he suffered last Sunday in Minnesota, Samuel may experience a slight uptick in his usual 6.3 touches per game moving forward.

Johnston (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Johnston was a late addition to the Chargers' Week 15 injury report, with Los Angeles listing him as questionable for Sunday's contest after he was unexpectedly a limited participant during Friday's practice. The third-year wideout ultimately won't be able to give it a go Sunday, resulting in him missing his second game of the season. With Johnston sidelined, the Chargers could have more reps and targets available for Keenan Allen and Tre' Harris behind No. 1 wideout Ladd McConkey.

Bateman (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Bateman was added to the Ravens' Week 15 injury report after being a limited participant in Thursday's practice and then missing Friday's session before heading into the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. In his absence, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester are candidates to log increased snaps behind top wide receiver Zay Flowers.

Odunze (foot) is listed as active Sunday against the Browns.

Odunze didn't practice at all during Week 14 prep and was ruled out ahead of last Sunday's loss at Green Bay. Not long after that, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that Odunze had been playing through a stress fracture in his foot and was considered week-to-week. After being listed as limited Wednesday through Friday and entering the weekend as questionable, Odunze's outlook brightened Saturday when a report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relayed that the Bears were optimistic of the second-year wide receiver's odds to return this weekend. Now that that has come to pass, Odunze will rejoin a Bears pass-catching group that includes WRs DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus, TEs Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet and even RBs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, all of whom are healthy at the moment. In any case, since opening the season with a 20-296-5 line on 35 targets before Chicago's Week 5 bye, Odunze has managed just a 24-365-1 line on 55 targets over his last eight appearances, making him a hit-or-miss option for fantasy purposes.

Adams (hamstring), who is officially questionable to face the Lions on Sunday, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Adams didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week but logged a limited session Friday. Though he entered the weekend deemed questionable to suit up, coach Sean McVay expressed optimism Friday that the star wideout would be able to give it a go, and that looks like it will indeed be the case. Adams could be in for a big game against a Lions defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points to wideouts this season.

Samuel, who is officially questionable to play against the Giants on Sunday due to an illness, is expected to give it a go, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Samuel came down with an illness near the end of the week and didn't practice Friday. However, he seems to be feeling better and thus appears likely to take the field against New York. He'll be working with QB Marcus Mariota, as Jayden Daniels has been ruled out due to a left elbow injury.
