Collins remains on IR with a hamstring injury. He is eligible to be activated in Week 10.
2. A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles (90.4)
Brown was forced to exit Sunday’s game against Jacksonville with a knee injury and is considered day-to-day. He had two catches in the game — both explosive gains for 36 yards.
Brown is up to 23 catches for 444 yards this season. Most of his production has come outside the numbers, where he’s caught 13 of 19 targets for 308 yards and ranks first in grading (92.0). He’s moved the chains 12 times, and each of his touchdowns this season has come from this area.

Jefferson caught seven passes for 137 yards in three quarters against Indianapolis, with five of his catches going for 20-plus yards. His longest catch of the day was a 41-yard contested catch on third-and-2 late in the third quarter, where he was stopped just shy of the goal line.
