Berrios could not secure his only target during Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

Berrios has yet to record a catch through two contests this season, and he has three targets in that span. Notably, both Grant DuBose and Robbie Chosen (practice squad elevation) drew more targets than Berrios on Thursday. He's dropped off the fantasy radar in even deeper formats heading into a Week 3 road matchup against Seattle.

Brown (shoulder) is reportedly in line to head to IR, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

We'll await added context as well as confirmation from the Chiefs, but Rapoport's report indicates that the wideout is in line to undergo a procedure to address his shoulder injury. Assuming that's the case, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Justin Watson will be on track to lead Kansas City's wideout corps in the coming weeks, with JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman also in the mix.

Coach Brian Daboll said Friday morning that Nabers (knee) is "good" and there's "no concern" about his status for Sunday's game at Washington, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

The Giants added Nabers to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, following his 5-66-0 line on seven targets in a season-opening loss to the Vikings. It sounds like the injury isn't serious and he'll be ready to play come Sunday, but it's still possible the Giants list Nabers on their final injury report Friday afternoon.

Higgins (hamstring) wasn't in uniform for Friday's practice, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Higgins didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, either, and this report doesn't bode well for the wideout's chances of playing Sunday against the Chiefs. Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Higgins has any chance of suiting up this weekend, but if he's unavailable, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin would be in line see expanded roles at receiver alongside top option Ja'Marr Chase.

Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Williams will play an increased role Sunday versus the Titans after having been under a 15-play limit Week 1, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Williams only handled nine offensive snaps during Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers, his first game since suffering a torn ACL last September. The veteran wideout was essentially used as a decoy in his Jets debut, and even if his workload increases against Tennessee, Williams likely will need to continue ramping up for a bit before he can handle a full assortment of snaps as a starter. Until then, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard figure to continue working as Aaron Rodgers' top two wide receivers.

Shakir secured all five targets for 54 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Bills' 31-10 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Shakir served as the Bills' leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, which was particularly noteworthy in a game during which Josh Allen recorded only 13 completions for 139 yards. The third-year wideout still is expected to serve as Buffalo's No. 1 receiver at least until rookie Keon Coleman gets his NFL legs under him, and Shakir will head into a Week 3 home matchup against the Jaguars on Monday, Sept. 23 with an 8-96-1 line on eight targets through the first two games.

Waddle brought in all four targets for 41 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

Considering how ineffective Tua Tagovailoa was in an injury-shortened three-interception performance and the fact Waddle was pulled from the game early due to the lopsided score, the fourth-year wideout's numbers weren't a complete washout. Waddle actually outproduced position mate Tyreek Hill (3-24-0) through the air, but his numbers still were a far cry from his 5-109-0 line Week 1 versus the Jaguars. Waddle will look to boost his numbers back up with either Tagovailoa or Skylar Thompson as his quarterback in a Week 3 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 22.

Hill secured three of six targets for 24 yards and rushed once for 12 yards in the Dolphins' 31-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.

Four days after a tumultuous but ultimately successful first Sunday of the regular season, Hill and the entire Dolphins offense saw a drastic downturn Thursday. Hill was saddled by generally ineffective play on the part of Tua Tagovailoa, who tossed two first-half interceptions and a pick-six early in the third quarter and then exited the game late in the period with a concussion. Hill and Jaylen Waddle both took an early seat in the fourth quarter, and neither saw a target after Skylar Thompson replaced Tagovailoa, but there will be ample time to build chemistry ahead of a Week 3 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Sept. 22 that Tagovailoa may not be available for.

Lockett (thigh) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Lockett is following the same routine this week as he did during Week 1 prep, meaning he likely will follow back-to-back capped sessions with a full practice Friday. Whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at New England remains to be seen, but there doesn't seem to be much, if any, worry about him being available. Lockett paced the Seahawks with six catches (on seven targets) for 77 yards during this past Sunday's win over the Broncos.

Jennings (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt following the ankle injury that he sustained in the season opener against the Jets, Jennings has only one more chance to get back to full before potentially heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Minnesota. Assuming he's active Week 2, he'll continue to serve as the 49ers' No. 3 WR behind starters Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
