The Broncos are prepared to go forward with a young receiver group of Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas, Eddie Royal and Matt Willis if they can trade Brandon Lloyd.
Thomas has been out all season, first to recover from Achilles tendon surgery, then to recover from surgery to repair a broken pinkie finger. The Broncos' first-round draft pick in 2010 — in which he was selected three spots ahead of quarterback Tim Tebow — Thomas is also expected to practice this week and play against the Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact:
Thomas may be worth a pickup as a guy to maybe use in the future, especially if the Lloyd trade goes down.
