  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Active in Week 12

    Wicks (calf) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Fellow WRs Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) were cleared Friday, and now Wicks and Savion Williams (foot) also are confirmed to be available Week 12. Meanwhile, Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) won't suit up. Wicks thus will be on hand for targets from QB Jordan Love alongside Watson, Doubs and even Williams, but the third-year pro hasn't scored a touchdown or surpassed 50 receiving yards in any of his eight appearances this season.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Active versus Colts

    Worthy (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    After not practicing Wednesday as he continues to manage an ankle issue, Worthy was limited Thursday and then worked fully Friday before heading into the weekend with a 'questionable' designation. With his Week 12 availability confirmed, Worthy should maintain his key role in a Kansas City pass-catching corps that also features fellow WRs Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown, along with TE Travis Kelce. Worthy is coming off back-to-back games in which he recorded three catches for a combined total of 48 yards, and on Sunday he'll have his work cut out for him as he faces an Indianapolis secondary that welcomes Charvarius Ward back to a CB corps that now also includes high-profile trade deadline addition Sauce Gardner.

  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Inactive Sunday

    Golden (shoulder/wrist) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    The Packers cleared three injured wide receivers Friday -- Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) -- and two more Sunday morning in Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot). Meanwhile, Golden won't suit up Week 12, which will mark the second time in the last three games he'll sit out as he tends to a lingering shoulder injury and a new wrist issue. His next chance to play is Thursday at Detroit.

  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Likely to sit out Sunday

    Golden (shoulder/wrist) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings but isn't expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    While managing a pair of injuries, Golden was listed as a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday before he was one of three Packers receivers to take a questionable tag into the weekend. Confirmation on Golden's status won't arrive until the Packers post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the rookie first-round pick looks like he'll wind up being sidelined for the second time in the past three games. When healthy, Golden has occasionally flashed some big-play ability, but with no more than six targets in any of his nine appearances on the season, he hasn't been drawing enough volume to make much of a fantasy impact.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Expected to suit up Sunday

    Worthy, who is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle injury, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Worthy first suffered an ankle injury in practice Nov. 13, and he tweaked the ankle a few days later in a loss to Denver. The second-year wideout sat out the Chiefs' first Week 12 practice before advancing to limited work Thursday and then full activity Friday. Worthy looks like he'll be able to suit up in a big AFC battle against Indianapolis, and he should again operate as Kansas City's No. 2 wideout behind Rashee Rice.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Set to play with restrictions

    Godwin (fibula), who is officially questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to suit up but will "likely be on something of a pitch count," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Assuming the Buccaneers officially clear Godwin when they release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, the wideout will be in line for his first game action since Week 5 after missing five consecutive games due to a hairline fracture of his fibula. His return will provide a boost to Tampa Bay's receiving corps, which will still be without Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck). Even so, fantasy managers should take note of Godwin likely being on a snap count Sunday, with the potential limitations coupled with a tough matchup versus the Rams perhaps suppressing his production. Godwin -- who also missed the first three games of the campaign while recovering from left ankle surgery -- tallied six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets over two games prior to sitting out due to the fractured fibula.

  • Dalen Cambre WR | NYG

    Giants' Dalen Cambre: Elevated for Week 12

    The Giants elevated Cambre from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    It's the second time this season Cambre has been elevated to the active roster. The 24-year-old added extra depth at wide receiver in Week 11, but with Darius Slayton back for Sunday, Cambre will likely contribute mostly to kicking coverage on special teams after making two tackles against the Packers.

  • Dante Pettis WR | NO

    Saints' Dante Pettis: Elevated from practice squad

    The Saints elevated Pettis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Falcons.

    Pettis made his season debut with the Saints in Week 10, serving as the team's punt returner in place of Rashid Shaheed, who was traded to Seattle. Coming out of the team's bye week, it appears Pettis will continue his role as a returner in Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta.

  • Dylan Drummond WR | ATL

    Falcons' Dylan Drummond: Bumped up to roster for Week 12

    The Falcons elevated Drummond from their practice squad Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Drummond's presence is needed due to Drake London (knee) being ruled out for Week 12. Drummond will likely serve in a depth wideout role Sunday, as he did after his previous two elevations this season, when he tallied seven total offensive snaps without seeing any targets across Weeks 8 and 9. Since Drummond has now been elevated three times, Atlanta would need to sign him to the active roster in order for the Eastern Michigan product to play again for the team during the regular season beyond Week 12.

  • Rams' Brennan Presley: Elevated for Week 12

    The Rams elevated Presley from their practice squad Saturday.

    Presley signed with Los Angeles as an undrafted free agent in late April and had a strong preseason, but he was ultimately left off the team's initial 53-man roster. The Oklahoma State product subsequently signed with the Rams' practice squad, and he's getting his first elevation in Week 12. Whether Presley sees any snaps on offense could depend on whether Xavier Smith (concussion) is able to play.
