Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas, who suffered hip injury Thursday, underwent MRI Friday that now will be sent out for 2nd opinion, per sources.

Not good... How does this impact DEN WR Corps if he misses significant time, aside from the obvious bump to sanders?

I think we'd see Lattimer in there quite a bit. He and Siemian had a good connection in the preseason.

Bump V. Green

 

[SameSongNDance]

I want to say bump Sanders.

Normally I wouldn't like this for the #2 receiver but the truth is that this doesn't look like an offense that can support two receivers from a fantasy perspective this year. If this means Sanders sees a slight uptick in targets then it's either a wash or a net positive for him.

I highly doubt teams ever roll coverage Sanders' way.

 

[WheelsUp]

NO! Being told to seek a 2nd opinion is bad news since it means you didnt like the first one.

 

[rockaction]

I would definitely bump Sanders, Green, and Latimer.  Needless to say, this is awful news for the Broncos. I knew that game was absolutely a bruiser. I'm surprised Newton could talk after the game.

1st big injury of the yr?

Bump C. J. Anderson, run run all day in Denver

But at the same time, this will be all the more reason for defenses to load the box to stop the run.   You had to honor D.T. on the outside with his talent.

1st big injury of the yr?

you mean besides Bridgewater, Romo and Gronk?

 

[Ilov80s]

Will Carrol reporting first MRI showed hip damage, now headed to hip specialist.

 

[MaxThreshold]

WTF?  This is the first I'm hearing about this.  Was this just first reported today?  I didn't even know he was injured much less getting a SECOND opinion.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I remember him getting up slowly from a play and leaving the field, but was back out there a play or two later.  

 

[Andrew74]

WTF?  This is the first I'm hearing about this.  Was this just first reported today?  I didn't even know he was injured much less getting a SECOND opinion.

He left after the 1st or 2nd series, after making a leaping catch. A couple series later he was on the trainer's table getting stretched out. You knew something was up but no one said much and he kept playing. 

F'n sucks. 

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

yeah 2nd opinion is never good

 

[Ketamine Dreams]

yeah 2nd opinion is never good

Yeah, it means there is something wrong structurally that showed up on MRI and there is concern on how to proceed.

I am more invested in DT this year than any other player.  Great way to start the season......

Yeah, I got him with pick 4.09 and thought "how could he still be here?".  Was pretty happy I got him.k  Looks like that is going to be short-lived.

Good thing I picked up Maclin with my next pick.

ESPN headline says "may miss time" but has no source verifying that claim.

Bump as we'll likely get a little more info today... 

 

[Funkley]

fudge

 

[mphtrilogy]

was thinking about dumping Sanders, in a shallow bench league... but now I think I have to hold on.. hmmm

 

[cjack]

Well, I have Thomas and Allen as my top 2 WR's in my primary league, so you can figure he's likely to be out for significant time.  I love fantasy football.

NOTHING OFFICIAL but According to Twitter the worst looks to be avoided for now.....

   Glad to have confirmation that @DemaryiusT MRI 2nd opinion was routine as expected. No @Broncos labral tear fears.

   Right now @Broncos HC just told Dave Logan & @SusieWargin that @DemaryiusT is "doing pretty good...should be back on the field Wednesday."

Great news. Bad news is now my start decision just got a lot cloudier.

Great news. Bad news is now my start decision just got a lot cloudier.

Against that Indy secondary next week, if Thomas is active but on crutches, I'm throwing him out there.

Good point. Forgot they play Indy

Is Vontae Davis definitely out again?

 

[purestrength]

According to Rotoworld, DT doesn't sound that optimistic about playing Sunday. Sigh.
