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.

Dorsett signed with the Texans' practice squad Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Dorsett will join his third team of the season after spending time with Jacksonville and Seattle. With Danny Amendola (knee) being placed on injured reserve Saturday, Dorsett will try to provide some emergency depth for the Texans and ultimately earn another shot on an active roster.

Denver waived Cleveland on Saturday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

Cleveland has suited up for seven games this season but only saw action in one. Most recently, he has dealt with a hamstring issue. He will likely be a candidate to revert to the Broncos' practice squad assuming he clears waivers.

Cracraft was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Cracraft spent all of training camp with the 49ers prior to being cut at the end of August. He's since been a member of the practice squad, and he could be set for his first game action of the season in Week 13 against Seattle. Cracraft is likely to play primarily on special teams.

Parker (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Parker has played in just one game since Week 4 thanks to a lingering shoulder issue. The veteran wide receiver had been quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's favorite target early in the season, but rookie Jaylen Waddle has assumed that mantle as of late. With a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way and Tagovailoa's emerging capabilities under center, it's possible Miami's offense could cater two fantasy-relevant wide receivers, although that does not factor in the potential return of Will Fuller (finger), who could be designated to return from injured reserve soon.

Olszewski (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Buffalo, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Olszewski landed on the injury report to begin the week and has logged three consecutive limited practices. That leaves him questionable for Monday, and his potential absence would leave a key void in both New England's kick and punt return game.

Powell was elevated from the Rams' practice squad Saturday.

Powell signed with the Rams' practice squad in early November and also spent time with Miami earlier in the season. He'll likely serve exclusively on special teams, particularly if Odell Beckham (hip) is able to play as expected.

Moore is the likely replacement at slot receiver for the injured Danny Amendola (knee) on Sunday against the Colts, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Moore, who opened the season on the practice squad, was the primary slot receiver earlier when Amendola missed four games due to a hamstring injury. He was made a permanent resident on the active roster following Week 5, when he impressed with five grabs, 109 yards and a touchdown in a loss to New England. He's been marginalized since Amendola returned, but Moore's in line for an uptick in targets Sunday and beyond. As is Davion Davis, who could make his debut for the Texans after the team signed him in October. Amendola is expected to miss at least four games, per a source.
