  Dolphins | Tyreek Hill questionable    Fri Dec 20, 04:46 PM

Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, personal) was a limited participant in practice on Friday, Dec. 20, after practicing in full the day before and is questionable for Week 16.

Footballguys view: While Hill seems more likely to play than not, Jaylen Waddle (knee) and fellow wideout Dee Eskridge (knee) are doubtful. Thus, Malik Washington and River Cracraft are the only wideouts on the 53-player roster who aren't on the injury report. We'll follow up on Hill's status through game time, but a late-afternoon kickoff in San Francisco will limit your fallback options.

Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) did not take part in practice for the third straight day on Friday, Dec. 20, and is doubtful for Week 16.

Footballguys view: As previously noted, rookie Malike Washington moves into "what the heck flex" territory with Footballguy Matt Waldman advising readers that because Washington can break tackles, there's touchdown potential. "If you're desperate," Waldman added, "Washington could give you a reasonable floor of PPR value with a hint of high upside."

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown (knee, rest) was limited at practice for the second consecutive day on Friday, Dec. 20, and was removed from the Week 16 injury report.

Footballguys view: Earlier on Friday, Brown foreshadowed this outcoming, telling reporters, "I'm playing," when asked about the knee injury that was added to Thursday's practice report. Brown was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. He has recorded 56 catches for 946 yards with five touchdowns. Health concerns would be the only argument for ever benching Brown, so this week, you have no reason to consider it.

  Browns | Cedric Tillman listed as questionable    Fri Dec 20, 03:41 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 20, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.

Footballguys view: Although Tillman remains in concussion protocol, The Athletic's Zac Jackson reports the Browns are hopeful he'll be able to play against the Bengals. Tillman has missed three games after suffering a concussion against the Steelers in Week 12. If cleared, Tillman's role and production could be limited with the Browns turning Dorian Thompson-Robinson as their starting quarterback.

  Giants | Malik Nabers on track to play    Fri Dec 20, 03:31 PM

New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (foot, knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 20, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.

Footballguys view: With the Giants rotating through four different triggermen this season, Nabers has proven to be quarterback-proof. The rookie currently sits at WR10 on the season -- despite missing two games to injury. Despite the missed time, volume has been his friend. As Late-Round Fantasy's JJ Zachariason noted this week, Nabers had a 41.2 percent target share against the Ravens this past Sunday, playing with DeVito and Boyle. He's now hit the 40 percent mark four times this year. No other wide receiver has done it more than twice.

  Panthers | Xavier Legette to miss Week 16    Fri Dec 20, 03:19 PM

Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 20, and has been ruled out for Week 16.

Footballguys view: Legette went down during last week's loss to the Cowboys and was not able to practice this week. He leads the team with 41 catches, 439 yards, and four touchdowns. With fellow wideouts David Moore (concussion) and Jalen Coker (quad) listed as questionable, Adam Thielen is the Panthers' most reliable receiving asset heading into this one.

  Bills | Amari Cooper should be available    Fri Dec 20, 03:04 PM

Buffalo Bills WR Amari Cooper (wrist) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 20, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.

Footballguys view: Cooper did not receive a single target in last week's shootout win at Detroit. He was fourth among Bills receivers in snaps, with just 44.1 percent. Tight end Dalton Kincaid and rookie receiver Keon Coleman both returned from injury for that contest. As NFL Network's Michael F. Florio noted, both were active in Cooper's first two games with Buffalo, and the veteran wideout received just seven total targets in those contests. The matchup against New England this week isn't especially daunting, but Cooper's volatile usage makes him a boom-or-bust option.

  Falcons | Drake London limited Friday    Fri Dec 20, 03:03 PM

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 20, but is not on the injury report for Week 16.

Footballguys view: London was added to the report after being limited in practice with a knee injury. However, London has no injury designation, leaving him on track to play against the Giants. London leads the Falcons with 78 catches, 919 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns, so his presence should make Michael Penix Jr.'s first NFL start go a little more smoothly.

  Cardinals | Fade, go routes have not favored Marvin Harrison Jr.    Fri Dec 20, 01:51 PM

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. has caught only four of the 26 passes thrown to him on go or fade routes in 2024.

Footballguys view: As NBC Sports' Kyle Dvorchak noted this week, only two receivers drafted in the top 10 have averaged fewer than 50 yards per game as a rookie before posting multiple WR1 seasons since 2000. Harrison is averaging 49 yards per game. Dvorchak further noted that two rookies who had quiet debuts only to explode later in their careers are Larry Fitzgerald and Plaxico Burress. So there's long-term hope. As for those looking at Harrison this week in a favorable matchup against the Panthers, we'll remind you Harrison only has two WR1 performances this season. He's scored single-digit PPR points in eight of his 14 games this year. Set your expectations accordingly.

  Colts | Alec Pierce will not play in Week 16    Fri Dec 20, 01:13 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans.

Footballguys view: As ESPN.com notes, the absence of Pierce will mean a more expanded role for rookie Adonai Mitchell, who has had a rocky first season, including last week's failed trick play that resulted in a fumble-return touchdown for Denver. Backup Ashton Dulin, who is coming off an ankle injury, also hopes to return and could play a role.

  Dolphins | Jaylen Waddle unlikely to go in Week 16    Fri Dec 20, 01:01 PM

Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 20, and will be listed as doubtful for Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Footballguys view: Wide receiver Dee Eskridge is also dealing with a knee injury and has the same designation. Tyreek Hill, Malik Washington, and River Cracraft are the other wideouts on the 53-man roster. Washington moves into "what the heck flex" territory with Footballguy Matt Waldman suggesting because Washington can break tackles, there's touchdown potential. "If you're desperate," Waldman added, "Washington could give you a reasonable floor of PPR value with a hint of high upside."

  Bengals | Tee Higgins good to go    Fri Dec 20, 12:27 PM

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (knee, rest) is expected to play in the Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns, head coach Zac Taylor said Friday, Dec. 20.

Footballguys view: While Higgins had been held out of practices regularly over the previous two weeks, it was always clearly indicated that rest was the reason. With a knee issue added to the "rest" description this week, there was more concern. Now that he's avoided designation on the final injury report, we can all exhale. Higgins is good to go.
