Injury Wrap: Game-time call for Doug Baldwin

Did you get a shiny new wideout under your holiday tree? You might need one. Plenty of big-name receivers can’t help us during Championship Week.

Let’s take a quick look around, starting with the receiver position.

• Dez Bryant (foot) was downgraded to doubtful, and it would be a surprise if he played again this year. Cole Beasley (knee/illness) is listed as questionable. Also keep in mind Kellen Moore is the new starting quarterback for the Cowboys.

• Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay. Maybe Matt Forte and Zach Miller will pick up some of the pass-catching slack. If you were desperate upon desperate,. perhaps you could consider Eddie Royal as a fill-in, though he’s dealing with a sore knee of his own.

• As you surely know by now, Odell Beckham Jr. (suspension) will not play at Minnesota. The Giants also aren’t sure about Dwayne Harris (shoulder), who had a limited week. Rueben Randle is the only playable option here, if you dare to trust any of the New York wideouts. Tight end Will Tye might also be in for some extra work.

• Doug Baldwin (hamstring) had a full practice Friday, though he still is a game-time decision for Sunday’s late game against St. Louis. I’d be surprised if Baldwin doesn’t go, but make sure you have a late-game pivot option, just in case.

• Bill Belichick put a chunk of his roster on the injury report, his usual MO. Julian Edelman (foot) is unlikely to go against the Jets, and the Boston Globe says Danny Amendola (knee) is also expected to sit. Brandon LaFell (foot) and Scott Chandler (knee) are listed as questionable.

• The Lions list Calvin Johnson (ankle) as questionable. He had three straight days of limited practice. The 49ers present a wonderful matchup, but Johnson has been held to five catches for 79 yards over his last three games.

• Vincent Jackson (knee) is out for another week. Maybe this will help Mike Evans get going, maybe not.

• The Bengals must feel pretty good about A.J. Green’s back issue, because he’s not listed on the injury report. He’s nonetheless in for a major challenge Monday at Denver.

• Donte Moncrief is dealing with a sore toe, though he had a partial session Friday. He’s listed as questionable.

• Rishard Matthews (ribs) might be able to play for Miami, which could steal some targets from DeVante Parker and Jarvis Landry.

• Tyler Eifert (post concussion) won’t play Monday at Denver.

• With Jonathan Stewart (foot) out again, Cameron Artis-Payne is set to start at Atlanta.

• Adrian Peterson (ankle) had a full workout Friday and is listed as probable for the Sunday nighter against the Giants.

• Shaun Draughn (knee) won’t play at Detroit, which means the Niners downshift to Kendall Gaskins and DuJuan Harris.

• LeSean McCoy (knee) won’t dress against Dallas. Karlos Williams and Mike Gillislee are the fallback options.

• T.J. Yeldon (knee) hasn’t been working all week, so it looks like Denard Robinson will get the cushy start at New Orleans.

• Duke Johnson Jr. (hamstring) had a limited practice week, not that anyone wants to use him at Kansas City.

• Although Drew Brees (foot) is listed as questionable, the veteran QB continues to insist he’ll play Sunday against Jacksonville. Everyone tied to this game for fantasy — on the Jacksonville or New Orleans side — is hoping the Saints don’t have to dip down to Matt Flynn.

• Ben Watson (knee) missed the full practice week and is highly questionable for the Jacksonville game.

• Brian Hoyer (post concussion) isn’t ready to return, which means Brandon Weeden has to start at Tennessee. The Titans will go with Zach Mettenberger; Marcus Mariota (knee) is out for the season.

• Andrew Luck (kidney) won’t play at Miami. Although Matt Hasselbeck isn’t close to healthy, he’s slated to get the start.

• The Ravens are being coy about their starting quarterback; Jimmy Clausen and Ryan Mallett are the two options. Either way, I like the Steelers defense in this spot.
