Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Ravens' Marquise Brown: Suits up Sunday
Brown (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against Kansas City.
After sitting out the first two practices of the week, Brown worked in a limited fashion Friday and will now give it a go Sunday night. Assuming no setbacks or limitations, the speedster should combine with Sammy Watkins to continue to lead Baltimore's wideout corps versus Kansas City. In this past Monday's season-opening loss to the Raiders, Brown logged 47 of a possible 68 snaps on offense en route to catching all six of his targets for 69 yards and a TD.

Braxton Berrios WR | NYG
Jets' Braxton Berrios: Leading receiver in Week 2 loss
Berrios caught seven of 11 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 25-6 loss to New England.
Berrios led the Jets in targets, catches and receiving yards as Zach Wilson shied away from pushing the ball downfield after being picked off four times and peppered the slot receiver underneath. While Berrios has filled in admirably for Jamison Crowder (groin) in the slot over the first two games, piling up 12 catches for 124 yards, his role will diminish substantially if Crowder's able to return in Week 3 against the Broncos.

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Explodes for 159 yards
Sutton recorded nine receptions on 12 targets for 159 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over Jacksonville.
Sutton was the clear leader among the Broncos' receiving corps, commanding a target on 12 of the team's 34 pass attempts. He delivered an explosive performance, highlighted by gains off 55, 33 and 16 yards. The only thing missing was a trip to the end zone. After limited production in Week 1, Sutton recorded his first 100-yard receiving game since Week 10 of the 2019 season.

Jaydon Mickens WR | IND
Buccaneers' Jaydon Mickens: Questionable to return
Mickens picked up a hip injury in Sunday's game against the Falcons and has been deemed questionable to return, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Mickens has played exclusively on special teams as a kick and punt returner so far this season. He had one kick return for 19 yards before departing. Giovani Bernard and Scotty Miller already have each returned kicks in the contest and will likely continue to fill in while the 27-year-old is out.

DeVante Parker WR | PHI
Dolphins' DeVante Parker: Doesn't make much of nine targets
Parker caught five of nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.
Parker led the team in targets and finished second behind Jaylen Waddle (six catches for 48 yards on eight targets) in both receptions and receiving yards. Miami's entire offense struggled, as backup Jacoby Brissett threw for just 169 yards on 40 attempts after replacing Tua Tagovailoa (ribs). Will Fuller (personal) would provide more competition for targets if he makes his return in Week 3 against the Raiders, and Miami's entire offense will be tough to trust if Tagovailoa remains sidelined.

Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN
Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Six catches in shutout loss
Waddle caught six of eight targets for 48 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.
Waddle led the Dolphins in targets and receiving yards, but his most memorable play was a special teams miscue -- he muffed a punt return near midfield in the final minute of the first half. Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett looked Waddle's way often after replacing the injured Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) in the first quarter, but Miami's pecking order in the passing game could change in Week 3 against the Raiders if Will Fuller (personal) makes his season debut alongside Waddle and DeVante Parker, who caught five of his team-high nine targets for 42 yards in this one.

Russell Gage WR | SF
Falcons' Russell Gage: Back in Sunday's contest
Gage (ankle) returned to Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Gage was sidelined for a spell with an ankle injury in the second quarter, but he was able to return after halftime. He'll look to build upon his two catches for 10 yards prior to his exit.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Scores another TD
Chase caught two of his four targets for 54 yards and a TD in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.
Meanwhile, fellow WR Tee Higgins caught six of his team-high 10 targets for 60 yards and a TD and slot man Tyler Boyd hauled in seven of his nine targets for 73 yards. Chase's 42-yard TD saved his day from a fantasy perspective, but the rookie's volume took a dip Sunday after he caught five of seven targets for 101 yards and a TD in his regular-season debut last weekend. The LSU product will look to carve out a bigger target share in Week 3, when the Bengals travel to Pittsburgh.
-
JuJu Smith-Schuster WR | NYG
Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Remains short-range target
Smith-Schuster recorded six receptions on seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Raiders. He added one rush for three yards and a touchdown.
Smith-Schuster was out-targeted and out-gained by both Diontae Johnson (undisclosed) and Chase Claypool. Cutting against his high catch rate, Smith-Schuster's longest gain of the day went for 17 yards and marked his only double-digit reception of the contest. Smith-Schuster did find the end zone on a three-yard rush, though that's not likely to be a consistent source of production. On the other hand, his role could grow if Johnson is required to miss any time after suffering an apparent injury on the final play of Sunday's game.
-
Tyler Boyd WR | TEN
Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Catches seven passes
Boyd hauled in seven of his nine targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bears.
Meanwhile, Tee Higgins caught six of his team-high 10 targets for 60 yards and a TD and rookie Ja'Marr Chase caught two of his four targets for 54 yards and a TD. It was a decent PPR bounce-back effort for Boyd, who caught three of his four targets for 32 yards in Week 1. The slot man should see decent volume more often than not and will look to keep the pace next weekend when the Bengals travel to Pittsburgh.
