Fowler caught all three of his targets for 21 yards and two touchdowns during Monday's win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old receiver was easy to overlook this summer after missing all of 2016 after a preseason elbow injury ended his season. However, Fowler made a number of big plays for the Broncos during their Super Bowl run two years ago, and he made a huge impact again Monday. He's unlikely to see too many looks in the passing game with Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders locked in as the primary targets, but Fowler's definitely a potential deep-league add and receiver to watch in all settings.

Fowler, per teammate Emmanuel Sanders, is currently Denver's No. 3 receiver, Troy Renck of Denver 7 ABC reports
EDGE Analysis
A fractured elbow suffered during the preseason prevented Fowler from taking the next step forward in his career during 2016. That makes it easy to forget how valuable Fowler was toward the tail-end of the Broncos' Super Bowl run - including a key third-down conversion late in the Divisional Round contest against Pittsburgh. Fowler, at well over 200 pounds, isn't necessarily your prototypical, shifty slotman, but his size and toughness make him a force up the seam. While rookie speedsters Carlos Henderson and Isaiah McKenzie certainly have the ability to leapfrog Fowler between now and the regular season, Fowler has a big leg up mentally, having played in a similar system as Mike McCoy's under Adam Gase in 2014.

Fowler signed his exclusive-rights free agent tender, Cameron Wolfe of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler had a 76-yard scoring reception in Week 13 against Kansas City, but he was otherwise a non-factor throughout the 2016 season, finishing with only 11 catches for 145 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 24 targets. He might get a shot to compete for the No. 3 wide receiver job, as Denver will head into the draft with a thin depth chart behind its standout duo of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

Fowler caught 11 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns during the 2016 campaign.
EDGE Analysis
After ending the 2015 season by being on the receiving end of Peyton Manning's last pass, a successful two-point conversion in Super Bowl 50, Fowler was unable to take his game to the next level in 2016. A fractured elbow that hampered him early on and inexperience at quarterback certainly didn't help matters as a No. 3 receiver failed to emerge behind Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. Fowler enters 2017 as an exclusive rights free agent, but it would be a surprise for Denver not to bring him back as a low-cost option. The toughness he has exhibited over the middle should make him a potential viable option in the slot. Then again, that's what many said after the 2015 season.

Fowler (knee) is active Sunday against the Titans, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler missed last week's win over the Jaguars due to a knee aliment but, after practicing in a limited fashion this week, will be able to take the field Sunday. Look for him to compete for reps with Cody Latimer as the No. 3 wideout behind starters Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas.

Fowler (knee) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler was able to return to practice Friday after dealing with a knee problem, but still will not play Sunday. The 25-year-old recorded his second touchdown of the season in Week 12's loss to the Chiefs on a 76 yard reception. The team was originally optimistic he would be able to go, but Cody Latimer and Jordan Norwood should be in line for more snaps in his absence.

Fowler (knee) returned to practice Friday and expects to suit up Sunday in Jacksonville, Cameron Wolfe of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fowler was absent from practice both Wednesday and Thursday with a vague knee injury, but doesn't appear in danger of missing Sunday's game. However, if he's ultimately deemed unfit to play, look for Cody Latimer, Jordan Norwood and Jordan Taylor to all see an uptick in offensive snaps.

Fowler was sidelined from Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first report of a knee injury for Fowler. The severity of the issue is unknown, but it was enough to keep him out of practice Wednesday. He is coming off his most productive outing of the season, as he snagged a 76-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.
