Sterling Shepard WR | NYJ
Giants' Sterling Shepard: To have familiar face at QB
Shepard is expected to be on the receiving end of passes from Eli Manning and not Daniel Jones (ankle) on Monday at Philadelphia, Dan Benton of USA Today reports.
Jones emerged from Week 13 with a sore right ankle, but a subsequent MRI revealed a "moderate" high-ankle sprain. Considered "week-to-week" by coach Pat Shurmur, Jones is slated to be inactive Monday, yielding his starting spot to Manning. Shepard thus will have a familiar face leading the offense versus an Eagles defense that the wide receiver has feasted against in six matchups, notching 35 catches for 457 yards and four touchdowns, per the Giants' official site.

Cedrick Wilson Jr. WR | DET
Cowboys' Cedrick Wilson: Avoids surgery
Wilson has been diagnosed with a sprained knee, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The good news for Wilson is his ACL is okay, so his recovery will be much shorter than initially feared. The bad news is the Boise State product is a candidate for injured reserve given how late it is in the season. Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News added that the 24-year-old is projected to miss four to six weeks.

Javon Wims WR | CAR
Bears' Javon Wims: Injury not major
Wims only suffered a slight knee sprain in Thursday's win over the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Wims' injury isn't deemed to be major. However, a recovery timeline has yet to be announced. Having played on Thursday, the 25-year-old has the benefit of a few extra days to heal before the Bears take on Green Bay in Week 15.

Russell Gage WR | SF
Falcons' Russell Gage: No designation for Sunday
Gage (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Gage has been a regular in the Falcons offense since Mohamed Sanu was dealt to the Patriots after Week 7. In five subsequent outings, Gage has earned between 48 and 74 percent of the snaps on offense in a given week, compiling 26 catches (on 37 targets) for 241 yards and one touchdown. His practice reps were capped this week by a rib injury, but fellow wideouts Julio Jones (shoulder) and Calvin Ridley (toe) had the same limitations. The trio will aim to take advantage of a Carolina defense that has conceded 178.1 receiving yards per game and nine total TDs to the position in 12 contests this season.

Hunter Renfrow WR | CAR
Raiders' Hunter Renfrow: Out again Week 14
Renfrow (rib) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Renfrow was always expected to miss multiple games after coming out of the Raiders' Nov. 24 loss to the Jets with a broken rib and a punctured lung, so his absence for Week 14 comes as little surprise after he was unable to practice Wednesday through Friday. While Renfrow is out, Zay Jones and Keelan Doss should continue to benefit from increased snaps alongside top wideout Tyrell Williams in either two- or three-receiver formations.

Chris Conley WR | SF
Jaguars' Chris Conley: Finishes week with full practice
Conley (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Conley and fellow wideout DJ Chark (back) were both limited participants in the Jaguars' first two practices of the week, but the duo put to rest any concern about their statuses by turning in full showings Friday. Expect Conley to have a regular spot in three-receiver sets, an arrangement that has netted him no fewer than five targets in any of the team's past six games.

DJ Chark WR | ATL
Jaguars' D.J. Chark Jr.: Good to go in Week 14
Chark (back) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Jacksonville will have its top three receivers at its disposal Week 14 after Chark, Chris Conley (ankle) and Dede Westbrook (personal) all practiced in some fashion Friday. In Chark's case, he upgraded from limited showings Wednesday and Thursday to put in a full workout Friday, erasing any concern about his availability for game day. The Titans and Buccaneers have put the clamps on Chark the past two weeks, with the second-year wideout having only managed a combined seven catches for 85 yards and no touchdowns between those contests.

Marquise Goodwin WR | CLE
49ers' Marquise Goodwin: Officially questionable
Goodwin (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Saints, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Goodwin's role with the 49ers has declined to that of a depth wideout and special-teams contributor over the course of the season, so even if he ends up inactive for Sunday's tilt in New Orleans there wouldn't be large fantasy ramifications. Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne will operate as San Francisco's starting wideouts Week 14.
-
Dante Pettis WR | SF
49ers' Dante Pettis: Questionable for Week 14
Pettis (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Pettis sat out Week 13's loss to the Ravens due to a lingering knee issue, and his status for Sunday's tilt against the Saints could come down to a game-time decision. The second-year pro plays a depth role in San Francisco's receiving corps. He hasn't seen more than three targets in a single game since Week 6.
-
Jamal Agnew WR | ATL
Lions' Jamal Agnew: Questionable Week 14
Agnew (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Agnew missed the last two games with the ankle injury, but he appears on track to return after working as a full practice participant Friday. Assuming the 24-year-old is able to suit up, he should reclaim his role as the team's primary kick and punt returner.
