Fowler was targeted eight times, recording three catches for 21 yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss.
EDGE Analysis
Three of Fowler's targets came in the fourth quarter after Emmanuel Sanders went down with an ankle sprain and he ended up leading the team's receivers with 61 offensive snaps. There should be more where that came from this week against the Chargers as Sanders and rookie Isaiah McKenzie are already ruled out and Demaryius Thomas spent much of the Giants game hobbled having narrowly avoided his own leg injury. Look for Fowler to see starter-level targets.

Fowler nabbed both of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Both of Fowler's catches came on the Broncos' second drive of the game and set up the team's lone touchdown of the contest. After two hot weeks to start the season, Denver's offense has sputtered in many of the same ways it did last season, especially in the red zone. Head coach Vance Joseph said after the game that the Raiders' conservative shell coverage forced the Broncos to run it more than planned. Even if that is the case, Fowler is a tough start at this point after scoring twice in Denver's opener.

Fowler caught four of seven targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 26-16 loss in Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
The Broncos went hunting for slot receivers in the draft this past spring, but it's been Fowler that has stepped up into the role of slot receiver behind Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. Fowler's two-score Week 1 likely was more exception than rule, but with a tight-end by committee approach, fans can expect similar usage out of Fowler as they might from another team's top tight end. In fact, Fowler's 48 offensive snaps on Sunday were at least nine more than any Bronco tight end.

Fowler (concussion) is active Sunday for the Broncos' Week 3 game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler was removed from last week's game against the Cowboys when he staggered to the ground shortly after getting up from a head-first collision with the field turf. Despite the scary-looking nature of the incident and a lack of practice time this week, Fowler passed through all phases of the NFL's concussion protocol and looks primed to reprise his role as the club's No. 3 wideout. Fowler has two touchdowns to his name already, but with only four catches for 29 yards on seven targets, his fantasy outlook is still fairly dim.

Fowler (concussion) is expected to play Sunday against Buffalo, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler suffered his concussion last Sunday against the Cowboys, and while he was unable to practice much this week, he was cleared through the league's concussion protocol Saturday, clearing the way for his return.

Fowler was cleared from the concussion protocol on Saturday, Patrick Smyth of the Broncos reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler remains questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Bills, but clearing the concussion protocol was essentially the final hurdle to cross in the recovery from his head injury, so he figures to be available for Week 3. A final call on his status will be made at some point Sunday morning.

Fowler (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Buffalo, Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
As long as Fowler is embedded in the concussion protocol, he won't be a candidate for game action. That said, his questionable listing has left some wiggle room for active status Sunday. If he's unable to ditch concussion symptoms, though, some combination of Isaiah McKenzie and Cody Latimer will log time as the No. 3 wide receiver.

Fowler (concussion) was spotted at Friday's practice, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler missed the previous two days of workouts while recovering from his concussion, but with him present for Friday's session, he will have a chance to take the field in Week 3.

Fowler (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler turned three targets into a pair of touchdowns Week 1, and then exited early due to a concussion in Sunday's 42-17 win over the Cowboys. Cody Latimer took over as the No. 3 receiver in Sunday's game, and he'll likely do the same if Fowler isn't ready for Week 3 in Buffalo. Week 1 aside, the Denver passing game remains highly reliant on its top two wideouts, Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders.

EDGE Analysis
After turning three targets into two touchdowns in the regular-season opener, Fowler managed just one catch for eight yards on three targets Sunday. Cody Latimer is filling in as the No. 3 receiver behind Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.
