Sutton (shoulder) is "truly questionable" for Monday's game according to coach Vic Fangio, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Sutton did some light work on the sidelines during Saturday's practice, but he wasn't wearing a helmet during the portion open to the media. It seems as if Sutton's status could completely depend on the mobility of his sprained shoulder following Monday's walkthrough. It's worth noting, Fangio did suggest rookie KJ Hamler was "closer to the doubtful side of questionable" so there's at least some separation of availability within the injury designation that could give fantasy managers some hope in regard to Sutton. If the star wide receiver is ruled out ahead of Monday's contest, expect the Broncos to rely heavily on the likes of Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton.

Kupp signed a three-year, $48 million extension with the Rams on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Kupp made significant movement on a possible contract extension earlier this week after the team had finalized a deal with cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The 27-year-old becomes the first of a deep 2017 wide receiver class to receive an extension with Saturday's news likely setting the mark for players such as Chris Godwin, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kenny Golladay and their respective upcoming deals.

Evans (hamstring) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

It's hard to view this as anything but a step in the right direction, but the plan has always been for Evans to essentially be a game-time call Sunday. Evans managed to practice Friday in a limited capacity so Saturday's upgrade certainly seems like a positive indication of the star wideout's status. Fantasy managers should still keep tabs on Evans' status leading up to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Carter returned three kickoffs for 66 yards and one punt for 19 yards in Thursday's 34-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 1.

Carter served as the fifth wideout, a slot that came down to him or Keke Coutee, who was inactive. Carter also played 13 snaps on offense and caught one of two targets for eight yards, but he's not expected to move the needle on offense unless there's an injury.

With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) declared doubtful, Cephus could see an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Bears, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Meanwhile, Danny Amendola (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Should both receivers sit this one out, Cephus, Marvin Hall, and Jamal Agnew would be left to fight for snaps behind Marvin Jones. With Agnew just recently transitioning to receiver from cornerback this summer, Cephus and Hall would be the favorites for playing time in that scenario, where Cephus profiles as a possession-type option while Hall is a deep threat. Accordingly, Cephus is probably the one who would be most affected by Amendola being cleared to play.

Hardman compiled just one catch for six yards on his only target in Thursday's season opener versus Houston.

Hardman was pegged as a prime candidate for a breakout season in 2020, but his effort in the opener seems to suggest he hasn't even done enough to warrant consistent reps. He saw just 20 offensive snaps on the night, finishing not only behind Tyreek Hill (59) and Sammy Watkins (55) but also with 13 fewer than Demarcus Robinson. It's still too early to write off Hardman, but it's certainly a disappointing start to 2020.

Robinson finished Week 1 versus the Texans with three catches for 20 yards on six targets.

While his production won't warrant many looks from a fantasy perspective, it's notable that he saw 13 more snaps in the opener than Mecole Hardman, who many believed to be headed for a breakout campaign. Robinson appears to be the No. 3 receiver for the time being, though his fantasy appeal remains limited as long as the primary pass-catching targets remain in operation.

Davis (hamstring) practiced fully Friday. Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Davis was limited on Thursday, but now that he's practicing fully, the wideout is slated to start opposite top option A.J. Brown in Monday night's season opener against the Broncos. Davis' performance last year (43-601-2 in 15 games) relative to where he was drafted -- No. 5 overall in 2017 -- was disappointing, but the 6-foot-3, 209-pounder has plenty of untapped potential if he can bring more consistency to his game in 2020.

Dorsett (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta, didn't practice Friday, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

After putting together limited showings in the first two practices of Week 1 prep, Dorsett didn't take the field at all Friday. A sore foot is to blame, and Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic speculates that Dorsett may be trending toward a game-time decision. The Seahawks officially will make a call on Dorsett about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's available, the situation may allow David Moore to get more reps in three-wide sets with Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

Diggs, who was bothered by a back issue at the beginning of the month, practiced fully all week and doesn't appear on Buffalo's injury report ahead of Week 1.

The marquee offseason addition is ready to make his Bills debut as the team's top wideout. The Jets are not expected to have a great secondary, especially after dealing Jamal Adams to the Seahawks this offseason, so this may be about as good of a matchup as Diggs will see in the early part of Buffalo's schedule. Neither his skill set nor the powerful arm of Josh Allen can be questioned, but it'll be interesting to see how quickly the rapport develops between the two, given the lack of preseason action this summer.
