Both receivers were questionable after injuries in the loss to Jacksonville, with Chase in the concussion protocol, but are expected to face the winless Dolphins.
Ravens linebacker Trenton Simpson, Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and Broncos guard Ben Powers drew the largest fines, and five players were docked for hip-drop tackles.
The veteran receiver has no injury designation for Sunday after New York moved him back to the active roster three days into his practice window.
