Wide receiver has slowly but surely gotten healthier as the year has gone on, but heading into Week 13, there are still several key WRs dealing with injuries that fantasy owners will need updates on. Julio Jones, Allen Robinson, and Jerry Jeudy are all "questionable" ahead of Sunday's games, and all will factor into start 'em, sit 'em decisions whether they're active or inactive.
We'll be providing the latest news below on these receivers throughout the day.

WEEK 13 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Is Julio Jones playing this week?
UPDATE 2: Jones is officially ACTIVE.
UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Jones is expected to play barring any setbacks in pregame warmups.
After getting in two limited practices this week, Jones (hamstring) declared himself "good to go" ahead of Sunday's game against New Orleans.
There is still somewhat of a worry that Jones will aggravate his nagging hamstring injury during the game, which he's done multiple times this year. Still, if he's active, he needs to be in fantasy lineups, especially in a slightly favorable matchup like this one. If Jones is a surprise scratch, Russell Gage would take advantage of the extra available targets.
WEEK 13 FANTASY: Sleepers | Busts | Start 'em, sit 'em
Is Allen Robinson playing this week?
UPDATE 2: Robinson is officially ACTIVE.
UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Robinson and Mooney are both expected to play this week.
Robinson (knee) reportedly got hurt in practice this week and was removed as a precaution, so we're not really sure what to make of his "questionable" tag for Sunday's game against the Lions.
For now, we'll expect Robinson to be out there, and if he is, he's a must-start against Detroit's overmatched secondary. If Robinson is a surprise scratch, then Darnell Mooney (ankle) would likely see the most targets, but he's also "questionable" and was held out of practice on Friday. If both receivers are out, Anthony Miller would operate as Chicago's No. 1 receiver and be a decent WR3 in fantasy leagues. Chicago's TEs would also likely see more targets.
WEEK 13 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Is Jerry Jeudy playing this week?
UPDATE: Jeudy is officially ACTIVE.
Jeudy (ankle) got in a full practice on Friday and should be ready to play on Sunday night against the Chiefs despite his "questionable" tag.
In the four games before last week's QB-less contest against the Saints, Jeudy averaged 10 targets and posted 18 receptions for 303 yards and a touchdown. In a game where Denver figures to need to throw a lot in the second half, Jeudy is a solid WR3 option. If Jeudy is a surprise scratch, look for Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler to get more targets and have boom-or-bust, WR3 upside.
