Courtland Sutton 69
The third-year former SMU wide receiver did not look good in Week 1 and is still working his way back from the Week 2 ACL tear last season. He had 1 catch for 14 yards on 3 targets against the Giants. We downgraded Sutton’s SIC score by 2 points.
DeVonta Smith 92
The rookie wideout looks near full health as he works his way back from an MCL sprain he suffered July 31. Smith had 6 catches on 8 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons in Week 1. We upgraded Smith’s score by 11 points this week.
Emmanuel Sanders 86
The 34-year-old did not practice on Thursday with an injury listed as foot/veteran rest. Sanders should be effective against the Dolphins secondary. He finished with 4 catches on 8 targets for 52 yards against the Steelers in Week 1.
Nelson Agholor 87
Agholor practiced fully all week with an ankle injury he suffered during the preseason. He was questionable Week 1, but played and finished with 5 catches on 7 targets for 72 yards and a TD.
D.J. Chark 86
Chark gets a major upgrade in his SIC score this week as it looked like he was unaffected by the finger surgery he underwent in the preseason. He played well in Week 1, finishing with 3 catches on 12 targets for 86 yards and a TD.
Michael Pittman Jr. 74
The Colts wideout suffered an ankle injury in practice on Friday and was limited. He is questionable heading into Sunday and we don’t expect him to be effective if he does play against the Rams’ secondary.
Parris Campbell 46
The 24-year-old wide receiver comes into the game questionable with an abdomen injury he suffered in practice on Friday. He played last week despite a lingering Achilles injury. The Achilles injury was taken off of his injury report this week.
DeVante Parker 88
Parker is dealing with a shoulder injury he has been dealing with since the offseason. The 28-year-old has practiced fully all week and finished with 4 catches for 81 yards last week.
Marquise Brown 88
The 24-year-old wideout did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday because of a left ankle injury. He got in a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable heading into the Sunday Night Football matchup. We think he will play and be effective.
Justin Jefferson 96
The second-year Vikings wide receiver looks to be fully back from the left shoulder AC joint sprain he suffered in early August. He caught 5 passes for 71 yards against the Bengals in Week 1.
Calvin Ridley 84
Ridley is still working his way back from the foot surgery he had in the offseason. He had 5 catches for 51 yards against the Eagles last week and his explosiveness could be affected to start the year.
A.J. Brown 89
Brown had knee scopes on both knees in the offseason and was limited in practice on Wednesday. He practiced fully on Thursday and Friday and should be effective against the Seahawks this week.
