Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Listed as questionable
Meyers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Meyers aggravated a shoulder injury in last week's win over the Dolphins, but given that he was able to practices Wednesday through Friday, the Patriots' top wide receiver should be on the field Sunday in a game that has playoff implications on both sides. In any case, Meyers' status will be confirmed in advance of the first batch of games Sunday, with New England and Buffalo kicking off at 1 p.m. ET.

Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Cleared for Week 18
Dulin doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.
As expected, Dulin, who was sidelined for Week 17 with a concussion, will be available for Week 18 after logging full practices Wednesday through Friday. Across 11 appearances this season, the fourth-year wideout has caught 15 of 22 targets for 207 yards and one touchdown.

DeVante Parker WR | PHI
Patriots' DeVante Parker: Cleared for Week 18
Parker (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing fully Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Parker, who last suited up Week 14, is thus slated to reclaim a key role in the Patriots' wideout corps in the regular-season finale. Prior to missing the last three games, Parker logged a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets through 12 games, a rate of production that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats in Week 18.

Phillip Dorsett WR | LV
Texans' Phillip Dorsett: Ruled out for finale
Dorsett (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Dorsett was unable to practice Friday after a limited session Thursday and was subsequently ruled out. He finishes the 2022 season with 20 catches for 257 yards and one touchdown on 40 targets.

Tyler Lockett WR | LV
Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Deemed questionable
Lockett (shin) returned to practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Lockett returned from finger surgery last week after missing just one game, only to suffer a shin injury that limited his playing time (31 percent snap share) in the win over New York. He said earlier this week that he'll play Sunday, and that seems to be the most likely outcome even if he isn't at his best. The Seahawks need a win at 4:25 p.m. ET and a Packers loss to the Lions in the Sunday night game to make the playoffs.

Christian Watson WR | GB
Packers' Christian Watson: Cleared to play Sunday
Watson (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Detroit, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
A hip injury caused Watson to miss the second half of Green Bay's Week 16 contest, and he then managed only one catch for 11 yards in Week 17 while playing 60 percent of snaps in a 41-17 win over the Vikings. The blowout nature of the game affected his playing time, but there's real competition for snaps/targets with Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb all healthy. Even so, Watson should still be featured in the game plan in light of his surge during the second half of the season.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Cleared for Week 18 action
Jeudy (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Jeudy gained clearance for the season finale after he put in a full practice Friday following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Though the Denver passing offense has mostly been an unproductive one in 2022, Jeudy has posted his best numbers in the season's final stanza. Over his last four appearances, Jeudy has been targeted no fewer than eight times on any occasion while stringing together a 28-304-3 receiving line.

KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Dealing with illness
Turpin didn't practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Washington due to an illness.
Turpin landed on the injury report Friday as a non-participant with an illness, and his availability for Sunday's regular-season finale is now in jeopardy. If he doesn't suit up, Tony Pollard and CeeDee Lamb may be asked to handle more return opportunities, though Dallas likely wouldn't want to put two of its most important offensive weapons in too many of those situations with the playoffs looming.
-
Kendall Hinton WR | DEN
Broncos' Kendall Hinton: Won't play in Week 18
Hinton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season finale against the Chargers, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Hinton will finish the season with his third absence in four games. The 25-year-old wide receiver will have plenty of time to heal up in the offseason after totaling 24 catches for 311 yards on 33 targets across 12 games in his third pro campaign.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Browns' Amari Cooper: Cleared for Week 18
Cooper (rest/hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Steelers after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Cooper continues to have his practice reps managed as the Browns' 2022 campaign winds down, but the team's top wideout will be available for Week 18 action. In this past Sunday's 24-10 win over the Commanders, Cooper recorded a 61 percent snap share and caught three passes on four targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
