  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Expected to play Sunday

    Dell (calf) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Dell is officially listed as questionable for Week 13, but reports have consistently been positive about his prospects of playing. The rookie wideout has scored in four consecutive weeks and gone over 100 receiving yards twice in that span. For one of the few occasions all season, Houston is expected to have each of its top six wideouts available Sunday; like Dell, Noah Brown (knee) is also listed as questionable, but both should be officially ruled in for the Week 13 contest upon the release of the Texans' inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Keenan Allen WR | LAC

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Expected to play vs. Patriots

    Allen (quadricep) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against New England, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Allen is officially listed as questionable due to a quad issue, but after playing through a lingering shoulder injury over the past two games, the wideout looks like he'll once again be able to suit up despite tending to another health concern. The veteran wideout is the lynchpin of Los Angeles' passing game, making his availability a key factor for Justin Herbert's fantasy prospects. Official word on Allen's status will arrive when the Chargers release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Expected to play Sunday

    Godwin (neck) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Godwin is officially listed as questionable due to a neck injury, but as long as all goes well in his pregame workout, he's expected to take the field versus Carolina. Following Friday's practice, head coach Todd Bowles labeled the 27-year-old as a game-time decision for the Week 13 contest, but at this point, it would be surprising if Godwin ends up on the inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Expected to face Lions

    Olave (concussion) is expected to suit up Sunday versus Detroit, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Olave is officially listed as questionable for the Week 13 contest, but he's expected to fully clear the NFL's concussion protocol and take the field. Official word on Olave's status will arrive when New Orleans releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The Saints are already set to be without Rashid Shaheed (thigh), and Michael Thomas (knee) remains on IR, so Olave's availability will be crucial for the New Orleans passing game.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Trending toward playing Week 13

    Godwin (neck) is considered likely to play Sunday versus Carolina pending his status during pregame warmups, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Godwin was a limited participant during practice Thursday before sitting out Friday's session due to a neck injury. The 27-year-old was deemed a game-time decision by Todd Bowles on Friday. While his status will still come down to his performance in pregame warmups, it appears Godwin should be good to go for Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Marquise Brown WR | PHI

    Cardinals' Marquise Brown: Likely to play Week 13

    Brown (heel) is expected to be available versus Pittsburgh on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Brown has been dealing with a heel injury, which kept him sidelined for all three of Arizona's practices during Week 13 prep. He was also a non-participant in two of the team's three practices last week, but he was still able to suit up for Week 12 loss to the Rams. It looks like he should be in line for a similar trajectory ahead of this Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff against the Steelers. Over the first 12 games of the season, Brown has recorded 51 receptions (on 98 targets) for 574 yards and four touchdowns.

  • Keenan Allen WR | LAC

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Likely to play versus New England

    Allen (quadriceps) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Allen is dealing with a quad issue that kept him sidelined Wednesday and Thursday before he participated in a limited capacity during Friday's session. The 31-year-old was able to play through a lingering shoulder injury over the past two games, and it seems like this quad injury won't keep him from suiting up for his 12th game this season. It will be worth monitirong Allen's status when the Chargers' inactives list is released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Should be good to go Sunday

    Olave (concussion) is expected to be able to suit up for Sunday's game against Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Olave sustained a concussion during last week's loss to the Falcons, and he has not officially cleared the league's protocol for head injuries. However, he was able to participate in full during Friday's practice, and it appears he should be ready to go in time for Sunday's 1:00 pm kickoff versus the Lions. With Rashid Shaheed (thigh) already ruled out and Michael Thomas (knee) on IR, Olave's presence would provide a significant upgrade at wideout ahead of A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden and Keith Kirkwood.

  • Tanner Conner TE | NYG

    Dolphins' Tanner Conner: Bumps back up to active roster

    Miami elevated Conner from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against Washington.

    Conner will be promoted to the Dolphins' gameday roster for the third time this season, as he suited up for back-to-back games against Carolina and Philadelphia back in October. The 25-year-old ultimately did not record an offensive statistic while primarily playing on special teams across these two contests. If he's ruled active pregame, Conner should serve a similar role behind fellow tight ends Durham Smythe, Julian Hill and Tyler Kroft in Week 13.

  • Noah Brown WR | WAS

    Texans' Noah Brown: Should play versus Denver

    Brown (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Broncos, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Brown is officially listed as questionable for Week 13 while he works his way back from the knee contusion that has sidelined him for the past two games, but he was able to log consecutive limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday's session. Barring any setbacks during pregame warmups, however, the 27-year-old is expected to be formally cleared for Sunday's game upon the release of the Texans' inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. In the two games prior to his absence, Brown logged 13 receptions (on 14 targets) for 325 yards and a touchdown.
