Odell Beckham Jr. (38 last week) 63
The Browns star wideout will make his season debut after the team lost Jarvis Landry to an MCL sprain in Week 2. Beckham suffered the ACL tear in his left knee last October and will not be 100% until the second half of the season. However, he will get to dictate his routes and could be effective against the Bears secondary.
DeAndre Hopkins (92 last week) 66
Hopkins did not practice at all this week with an injury to his ribs. Details are scarce about the injury, but Hopkins will play through the injury against the Jaguars. The former Texans wideout will likely require a rib block injection to manage the pain.
Courtland Sutton (69 last week) 77
The Broncos wide receiver continues to recover from the ACL tear that knocked him out last season. He stepped up last week after the loss of Jerry Jeudy and finished with 9 catches for 159 yards against the Jaguars.
Tee Higgins/Mike Thomas (97 last week) 21
Higgins has been ruled out with a shoulder injury that kept him out of practice all week. Higgins is a big potential loss for the Bengals and his backup, Mike Thomas, has 24 catches in 55 career games.
Kenny Golladay (92 last week) 82
The Giants’ wide receiver was limited all week with a hip injury. A hip flexor strain cost him nine games last season, but Giants Head Coach Joe Judge told reporters he doesn’t believe Golladay is dealing with the same hip issue as last year.
Laviska Shenault Jr. (98 last week) 72
Shenault subluxed his left shoulder against the Broncos last week, but returned and finished the game. We have no doubt he will play, but we are not confident he will be effective against the Cardinals defense.
Michael Pittman Jr. (74 last week) 90
The Colts wide receiver suffered an ankle injury in practice Friday last week. He was questionable heading into the Week 2 matchup, but he had 8 catches for 123 yards.
