Toney (quadriceps/oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The pair of injuries will keep Toney sidelined for the second straight game, an unsurprising development after he was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend following no practice participation Wednesday through Friday. With Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) also joining Toney on the inactive list, the Giants will likely turn to John Ross and Collin Johnson to split work as the No. 3 receiver behind starters Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton.

Davis (groin) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

After sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, Davis logged a limited session Friday, and he'll give it a go Sunday. That said, Rich Cimini of ESPN previously suggested that the wideout could potentially be limited to a degree in his return from a one-game absence. With that in mind, Davis who has averaged four catches on seven targets for 59.6 yards with four TDs in eight games, profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option in Week 13.

Shepard (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Though Shepard closed the week with a pair of limited practice sessions, he was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend before ultimately landing on the inactive list for the fourth game in a row. Due to the length of his absence, Shepard may need to upgrade to full participation in practice at some point during the upcoming week to have a shot at suiting up in the Giants' next game Dec. 12 against the Chargers. With Kadarius Toney (quadriceps/oblique) also inactive Sunday, the Giants are left with wideouts Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton, tight end Evan Engram and running back Saquon Barkley as the main pass-catching options for quarterback Mike Glennon.

Cooks (illness) listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Good news for the Texans, with Cooks - easily the team's most productive pass catcher this season - available for the context after returning to a limited practice Friday. Through 11 games, Houston's top wideout has logged a 62/704/3 stat line on 92 targets and Cooks should remain QB Tyrod Taylor's top option Sunday against an Indianapolis defense that has allowed 26 passing scores and an average of 244.7 yards in the air through 12 contests.

Robinson (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Robinson has yet to practice since the Bears returned from a Week 10 bye, resulting in his third DNP in a row. The Bears also are without Marquise Goodwin (foot/ribs), leaving Darnell Mooney, Damiere Byrd, Jakeem Grant and Rodney Adams as the team's available wide receivers Sunday.

Hopkins (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday in Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Coming off Arizona's Week 12 bye, Hopkins logged a pair of limited practices while sitting out Thursday's session as he attempted to put a hamstring issue in the rearview mirror. While the activity was enough to put an end to a three-game absence -- which surpassed the total absences (two) in the first eight campaigns of his career -- he may operate under a snap count to avoid a setback and also due to the rainy conditions in Chicago, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Still, the Cardinals offense will welcome back the Hopkins-Kyler Murray combination, which has amounted to 78.9 yards per game and 13 touchdowns in 24 contests together.

Head coach Kliff Kingsbury told Stacey Dales of NFL Network that Hopkins (hamstring) will play Sunday against the Bears, despite being listed as questionable for the contest after missing the Cardinals' previous three games.

Kingsbury confirmed that both of Arizona's top two skill-position players will put an end to their three-game, four-week absences Week 13, as starting quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) also received the green light to return to the lineup. Hopkins' injury designation won't officially be lifted until Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the wideout should step back in as Murray's top target in the passing game. However, with Adam Schefter of ESPN relaying earlier Sunday that Hopkins could be used "more sparingly than usual" in his return to the lineup because of poor weather conditions in Chicago in addition to the long layoff due to injury, fantasy managers may want to temper expectations to some degree.

Beckham (hip), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A posterior hip pointer rendered Beckham a limited participant in two practices and kept him off the field in one other, but the wideout looks like he's prepared to play through the pain Sunday as the reeling Rams look to get back on track against the 2-9 Jaguars. The Rams will enter the contest as heavy favorites, and if Los Angeles is able to mount an early lead, Beckham and some of the team's other key skill-position players could see their workloads scaled back a bit. In his second game as a member of the Rams in Week 12 in Green Bay, Beckham played 98 percent of the offensive snaps and finished with five receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets.

Hopkins (hamstring) remains listed as questionable Sunday against the Bears, but he's expected to play and may handle a lighter role than usual, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hopkins has been out since Week 8 while dealing with a hamstring injury. Though the injury has healed to the point that he's expected to be able to play in some capacity, poor weather conditions in Chicago add increased risk of him experiencing a setback, which could cause the Cardinals to limit his snaps.

Cooks (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cooks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday while battling a non-COVID-19-related illness, but he returned to practice Friday. He evidently showed enough progress Friday for the Texans to feel confident he'll suit up, but fantasy managers planning on deploying Cooks in weekly lineups won't receive final word on his status until Houston releases its inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
