Brown did not take part in Friday's practice for the third straight week, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The Ravens have now held Brown out of three straight Friday practices, which they are doing to give him a chance to rest his surgically-repaired foot. It's of course possible he's being held out this Friday for another reason, so his status will be a bit up in the air until the Ravens release their final injury report for Week 3. However, based on the last couple weeks, there's plenty of reason to be optimistic he will suit up Sunday against the Chiefs.

Conley hauled in two of three targets for 30 yards in the Jaguars' 20-7 win over the Titans on Thursday.

Conley wasn't able to make the same impact he had over the first two games, with both his reception and receiving yardage totals checking in as season lows. However, he did miss some time with an in-game ankle injury and had also been nursing a hip issue coming in. The Georgia product has been a pleasant surprise overall, however, as he now has 12 receptions for 200 yards and a touchdown over his first three contests. Conley has also seen his targets dwindle in each game thus far, so he'll look to reverse the trend against the Broncos in a Week 4 road matchup a week from Sunday.

Humphries brought in six of nine targets for 93 yards in the Titans' 20-7 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday.

It took a couple of weeks, but Humphries finally reignited some of his preseason chemistry with Marcus Mariota in Thursday's defeat. The savvy possession receiver tied Delanie Walker for the team lead in targets, and his number of looks Thursday were easily a season high. Humphries notched half of his grabs on the final drive of the night for Tennessee, however, so the next step fantasy managers would undoubtedly like to see him take would be more consistency throughout all four quarters. He'll look to accomplish that in a potentially favorable road matchup against the Falcons in Week 4 a week from Sunday.

Chark brought in four of five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 20-7 win over the Titans on Thursday.

The second-year wideout continued to make for lost time Thursday after a nondescript rookie campaign. Chark recorded his third touchdown in as many games midway through the first quarter with a nifty contested catch in the left corner of the end zone, one in which he admittedly appeared to get away with a slight push-off on cornerback Malcolm Butler. Chark has shown impressive rapport with rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew through the latter's two-plus games at the helm, and although he's been unable to duplicate his spectacular 4-146-1 line from the opener, he's nevertheless cemented himself as a dependable passing-game/fantasy option through three contests. He'll look to conquer the challenge of a tough Broncos secondary in a Week 4 matchup a week from Sunday.

Conley returned to Thursday's game against the Titans, NFL.com reports.

It seems that the ankle injury Conley sustained wasn't too serious. He'll look to build off his one catch for 15 yards.

Conley exited Thursday's game against Tennessee with an ankle injury and is questionable to return, Tad Dickman of the Jaguars' official site reports.

It appeared that Conley was injured while throwing a block on a pass play. The 26-year-old had just gotten over a hip injury in order to be active in Thursday's contest.

Moore (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Prior to Moore being a limited participant at Wednesday's session, coach Pete Carroll told Liz Mathews that the wide receiver has "a really good chance" to make his season debut Week 3 against the Saints. Now that he participated in every drill Thursday, Moore is on pace to make that come to pass. While Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are locked in as the Seahawks' top two WRs, there should be room for Moore, Jaron Brown (toe) and/or Malik Turner in three-wide sets.

Williams (knee) was listed as full participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday.

With no limitations to begin Week 3 preparations, Williams has seemingly moved past the knee issue that rendered him a game-time call heading into last Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Lions. Williams handled his usual starting role in that contest and delivered a quality stat line, nabbing three of five targets for 83 yards. Given that tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is out for the foreseeable future and running back Melvin Gordon (contract dispute) continues to hold out, a healthy Williams could see his volume in the passing game increase in the games to come.

Allen (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Allen's workload was restricted for the second day in a row, but no reports have surfaced suggesting his status for the Week 3 matchup with the Texans is in any serious peril. Through Los Angeles' first two contests, Allen has played 87 percent of the team's offensive snaps while hauling in 16 of 25 targets for 221 yards and a score.

Hopkins (ribs) practiced fully Thursday.

We never doubted Hopkins' Week 3 playing status, but the wideout's full practice participation Thursday paves the way for him to head into the weekend minus an injury designation in advance of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
