Berrios wasn't targeted in Thursday's 42-21 loss to Baltimore, but he returned three punts for 48 yards.

Berrios was on the field for only five of New York's 59 snaps on offense. His inability to see the field consistently with such an underwhelming receiving corps around him suggests Berrios is viewed by the Jets as primarily a special-teams player for the time being.

Ateman is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a rib injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Ateman was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant and his status for Sunday remains in doubt. The 25-year-old hasn't played double-digit snaps over the past six games, so his availability is unlikely to significantly impact Oakland's offensive gameplan.

Ward could fill a starting role at receiver Sunday against the Redskins with Alshon Jeffery (foot) moving to injured reserve this week and Nelson Agholor (knee) listed as questionable for the contest, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Even if Ward doesn't technically start, he'll at least have a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and Agholor (health permitting). Considering Agholor didn't practice Wednesday through Friday, he's most likely trending toward a second straight absence, which would leave Arcega-Whiteside, Ward and practice-squad addition Robert Davis as the only available receivers on the roster. While tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert will probably rank as the top two priorities in the Eagles' passing attack, Ward has already seen a more pronounced role of late, playing at least 40 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the past three weeks while garnering 19 total targets.

Parker (concussion) signed a four-year contract extension with the Dolphins on Friday.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Parker's extension is worth over $40 million, with a good portion of the deal begin guaranteed. The wideout has earned the new contract on the back of what's been a breakout fifth season of sorts, with Parker having already set career-best marks in receiving yards (882) and touchdowns (eight) through 13 contests. Parker's status for Sunday's tilt against the Giants isn't quite clear, as he's being listed as questionable while he works his way through the league's five-step protocol for concussions. At the latest, a final decision on Parker's availability for Week 15 will be made when the Dolphins' inactive list is released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Arcega-Whiteside is expected to start and could function as the Eagles' top outside receiver Sunday against the Redskins, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Arcega-Whiteside's rookie season was expected to be a developmental one while a trio of established veterans (Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson and Nelson Agholor) slotted ahead of him on the depth chart, but the second-round pick suddenly finds himself as the healthiest option of that quartet in Week 15. With Jeffery (foot) joining Jackson (abdomen) on injured reserve this week and Agholor (knee) listed as questionable for Sunday after failing to practice Wednesday through Friday, Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and practice squad addition Robert Davis could all be in line for significant snaps this weekend. An elevated role won't necessarily translate to an abundance of targets for Arcega-Whiteside, however, as tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert remain Carson Wentz's most-trusted options and should rank as higher priorities in the passing game.

Snead caught his lone target for 15 yards in Thursday's 42-21 win over the Jets.

Snead's volume dropped off Thursday after he saw multiple targets in six straight games. That said, Snead hasn't had more than 20 receiving yards in any game since Week 5. With a small target share and a low average depth of target (9.1), Snead doesn't have much in the way of peripheral numbers to portend a major turnaround down the stretch.

Isabella (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The rookie wide receiver will carry a designation into the weekend after he was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday. A Week 15 absence wouldn't have a huge impact on Arizona's game plan, considering Isabella has maxed out at four targets (Week 11) and 26 offensive snaps (Week 10). In any case, he should be able to play.

Renfrow (ribs) won't play Sunday against the Jaguars, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

With Renfrow -- who last played in Week 12 -- still out, Tyrell Williams and Zay Jones should headline the Raiders' wide-receiver corps once again. Keelan Doss and Rico Gafford are also in the mix for added snaps.

Cole, Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley will work as the Jaguars' top three receivers Sunday against the Raiders with No. 1 option DJ Chark (ankle) ruled out for the contest, John Oehser of Jacksonville's official site reports. "Obviously, we're looking for those guys to step up," coach Doug Marrone said after Friday's practice.

Westbrook (55 receptions for 569 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games) and Conley (38-632-2 in 13 games) have well outpaced Cole in production this season, leaving those two as better bets to absorb most of Chark's vacated target volume. There should still be room for Cole to have a regular role in three-receiver sets and play at least half of the Jaguars' offensive snaps, assuming the Raiders keep the game competitive and force Jacksonville to deviate from an overly run-heavy script. With a 55.1 percent catch rate and an 8.1 yard-per-target mark for his career, Cole has essentially been a boom-or-bust option during his three NFL seasons and may need to connect on a deep-ball target to bring value in DFS contests.

Montgomery recorded two carries for five yards and hauled in his only target for five yards during Thursday's 42-21 loss to the Ravens.

Montgomery also returned four kickoffs for 93 yards, with a long of 34 yards. If Bilal Powell (ankle/illness) is forced to miss any more time, Montgomery will continue to serve as the top backup to Le'Veon Bell.
