What It Means:

Fowler suffered the injury covering a punt in the preseason opener, but he did not know he was hurt until the next morning. He is expected to miss a few weeks. The frontrunner for the third receiver job, Fowler's injury could open up an opportunity for underachiever Cody Latimer to prove himself. It still sounds like Fowler should be ready for Week 1, however.

Our algorithms peg Fowler as the third-best Denver receiver for fantasy purposes in 2016, with 23 receptions for 257 yards and 1.27 touchdowns.
