Sutton secured all five targets for 68 yards in the Broncos' 17-14 loss to the Browns on Thursday night.

The star wideout tied with Noah Fant for second on the team in receptions, and his yardage total, fueled by a team-high 31-yard grab, easily paced either club on the night. Sutton did see a notable drop from the 14 targets he'd logged Week 6 against the Raiders, but it wasn't unexpected on a night when Teddy Bridgewater only put up 33 attempts and targeted nine different players. Sutton will look to bounce back with a bump in his overall numbers against the vulnerable Washington secondary in a Week 8 home matchup a week from Sunday.

Beckham (shoulder) secured two of six targets for 23 yards in the Browns' 17-14 win over the Broncos on Thursday.

Beckham somewhat surprisingly garnered active status after a report surfaced earlier in the day he was expected to sit out due to his sprained right shoulder, and he appeared to aggravate the injury during the game while diving for a pass. The wideout didn't end up missing a notable amount of time, but with Case Keenum running a fairly conservative game plan and D'Ernest Johnson consistently eating up chunks of yardage on the ground, the entire pass-catching corps generated underwhelming numbers. Beckham now has a trio of two-catch, sub-30-yard efforts in his last four games, something that he and fantasy managers will hope a few extra days of rest and the possible return of Mayfield will correct in a Week 8 home matchup versus the Steelers on Oct. 31.

Peoples-Jones injured his groin during pregame warmups and is questionable to play Thursday against the Broncos, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

On the same night in which Jarvis Landry (knee) is making his first appearance since Week 2 and Odell Beckham guts out a shoulder issue, the Browns' receiving corps suffered another setback with Peoples-Jones, who combined for 11 targets the past two games. It's unclear if Peoples-Jones will make an appearance, but Beckham, Landry, Rashard Higgins and Anthony Schwartz now are the wide receivers at Case Keenum's disposal Thursday.

Beckham (shoulder) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Broncos.

Though listed as active, it remains to be seen if Beckham will be able to handle his normal allotment of snaps alongside Jarvis Landry (knee), who was activated from IR in advance of Thursday's contest. With starting QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) out, the WR duo -- as well as Donovan Peoples-Jones -- will be catching passes from Case Keenum. Meanwhile, both of the team's top running backs (Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt) are sidelined by calf injuries, meaning that Cleveland's banged-up offense will feature a backfield trio of D'Ernest Johnson, Demetric Felton and John Kelly. Between the shoulder issue that previously clouded his TNF status and the rash of injuries his team is currently dealing with, Beckham profiles as a speculative Week 7 fantasy lineup option.

Edwards (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday.

The same applies to Henry Ruggs (knee), who was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday along with Edwards. As a result, the Raiders are set to have their top two wideouts available for Sunday's game against the Eagles, who have surrendered an average of 211.8 passing yards (fifth-fewest in the league) through six contests. Over his last three outings, Edwards has combined for five catches on 14 targets for 93 yards, including a 2/67/0 stat line (on four targets) in Las Vegas' Week 6 win over the Broncos.

Erickson (concussion) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

The wide receiver suffered the head injury in Week 6 versus the Vikings, ultimately exiting the contest and not returning to practice until Thursday. He still needs to be cleared by team doctors before suiting up against the Giants in Week 7. Used mostly as a return specialist, Erickson has only two catches for 42 yards in six games this season.

Mooney (groin) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

As he's done since Week 3, Mooney has put in capped weekly workloads in advance of game days due to a groin injury. Week 7 has been no different, but it's yet to be determined whether he'll ditch his designation on the Bears' final practice report. Fellow wide receiver Allen Robinson (ankle) put in limited work, too, Thursday after sitting out Wednesday, so there is some fog hanging over both of the team's top two wide receivers.

Collins was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a foot injury.

Collins was sidelined for Weeks 3 through 5 with a shoulder injury, but he returned to action in last week's loss to the Colts and recorded four receptions for 44 yards on six targets. Since Collins wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, the shoulder doesn't seem to be bothering him any longer, but his addition to Thursday's report with the foot issue could be indicative of an in-practice injury. Ultimately, Collins' activity at Friday's practice will determine whether he takes a designation into Sunday's game in Arizona.

Conley (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

For the second straight day, Conley's reps were capped in practice on account of the injury. He'll likely need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's session in order to avoid taking a questionable designation into Sunday's game in Arizona.

Robinson (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Robinson got on the practice field earlier than a week ago, when he managed just one capped showing Friday. As a result, it appears he's a bit healthier this time around and has a better chance to avoid the final Week 7 injury report. Robinson still suited up this past Sunday against the Packers and logged a season-high 93 percent of the Bears' offensive snaps on his way to four catches (on seven targets) for 53 yards.
