Sanders has been elevated from the Dolphins' practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

Sanders gives the Dolphins some added wideout depth in Week 16, with River Cracraft (calf) likely to be inactive Sunday. In two regular-season appearances so far, Sanders has caught two of his three targets for 17 yards.

Goodwin (wrist) returned to Sunday's game against the Chiefs early in the fourth quarter, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Goodwin missed most of the third quarter after aggravating the wrist injury on the Seahawks' first possession of the second half, but after getting evaluated on the sideline, he received clearance to check back into the contest. He'll look to salvage what had been a fruitless day prior to his exit, as he failed to corral either of the two targets he drew through the first three quarters.

Washington (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Eagles, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Washington sat out the first 12 games of the season while recovering from a foot injury, and the 26-year-old has logged just one target while playing 14 offensive snaps since returning to action Week 14. With Washington sidelined, T.Y. Hilton appears set to serve as the Cowboys' No. 4 wideout while making his season debut Saturday.

Goodwin is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Chiefs with a wrist injury.

Before being cleared ahead of kickoff, Goodwin was listed as questionable heading into the day with wrist and ankle issues, so he's presumably dealing with an aggravation of the former injury. Per Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle, Goodwin appeared to suffer the injury in question while diving at an incomplete target from quarterback Geno Smith on an unsuccessful third-down attempt early in the third quarter. If Goodwin is unable to return, he'll finish the day without a reception on two targets.

Smith (foot/head) is questionable to return to Saturday's game versus Detroit, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Smith caught one of two targets for 17 yards before exiting with separate foot and head injuries, though it's unclear when or how these issues first arose. With Rashard Higgins (coach's decision) already inactive, the Panthers will be left with three available wideouts for the time being.

Boyd (finger) returned to Saturday's game against the Patriots after briefly exiting the contest, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The Bengals listed Boyd as questionable to return to Saturday's contest after he apparently suffered an aggravation of the surgically repaired finger on his left hand, but the receiver looks like he'll be good to go for the rest of the afternoon upon being evaluated on the sideline for a brief spell.

Boyd is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Patriots due a left finger injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Boyd underwent surgery on one of his fingers two weeks earlier, so he presumably aggravated the digit in question at some point during Saturday's contest. If Boyd is unable to return to the Week 16 contest, he'll finish the game without a target.

Strachan (concussion) is good to go for Monday's matchup with the Chargers.

Strachan will return from a one-game absence after suffering a concussion in Week 14. Look for him to resume his usual role as the Colts' No. 5 wide receiver assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Moore (foot) is active for Saturday's game against the Titans.

Moore was a limited practice participant all week due to the foot issue, but now that he's avoided the inactive list, he should be secure in a full-time starting role both Saturday and for the rest of the season, after Nico Collins (foot) was moved to injured reserve. While both Collins and Brandin Cooks (calf) were sidelined for the past two weeks, Moore served as Houston's top option in the passing game, garnering 19 targets between those contests. Cooks is back in action after a three-game absence and should step back in as Houston's No. 1 wideout, but there could still be enough target volume to go around for Moore to retain fantasy relevance.

Thornton (knee) is listed as active for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

With DeVante Parker (concussion) inactive, Thornton should continue to see added snaps Saturday, but with a 17/166/1 stat line on 33 targets through 10 games overall, the 2022 second-rounder remains a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 16.
