Broncos Beat: Demaryius Thomas could break out vs. Cardinals

With the injuries/suspension issues the Arizona Cardinals have had on defense this season, the game video shows defensive coordinator Todd Bowles sending extra rushers. That means single coverage on the outside for the most part, leaving Cardinals linebackers chasing wide receivers in the short and intermediate zones at times. It all points to potential big days for Broncos WRs Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders because Peyton Manning will get the ball out fast with plenty of rub plays and crossing routes. Thomas has been quiet this year, but this could be his breakout game.

Fantasy Impact: 

Thomas has had a quiet season thus far, catching 13 passes for 141 yards and a TD through three games. At this point last season, he had 20 catches for 307 yards and two scores. We're expecting Thomas to have a big game sooner rather than later.

Why Cody Latimer wasn't active in Week 3

The Broncos' decision-makers like WR Cody Latimer’s physicality at the position, his top-end speed and the ability he showed to go up in a crowd and come down with the ball. As a result the team believes Latimer can, and will, be a factor in the offense.

The question is when that time will come and that’s not even something Laitmer can answer with any certainty, even as much as he'd like it to be sooner rather than later.

“I just keep grinding, try to wait your turn, keep working in practice,’’ Latimer said. “That first game, I was kind like, man, but you look and see what’s happening and keep going. I do know if I don’t practice hard, make plays in practice, they’re not going to play me. I want to keep their attention.’’

He has it, but in the Broncos’ big picture, the Broncos are choosing veteran Andre Caldwell at the moment to the be the offense’s No. 4 receiver behind Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Wes Welker while the fifth receiver spot on game day has been taken by rookie Isaiah Burse, who is the team’s primary punt returner. Caldwell has been the No. 1 kickoff returner as well, but after 40 snaps on offense in the season opener, Caldwell has played five and two snaps, respectively, on offense in the past two games.

So, when the Broncos make the move from 53 players to 46 on game day, Latimer has been moved aside because of others’ special-teams duties.

Fantasy Impact: 

The team still runs Andre Caldwell ahead of Latimer, so he isn't worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Last month, Denver coach John Fox suggested K Matt Prater hadn't worn out his welcome in Denver, saying, "He's part of our family."

Then, a contrite Prater apologized and pledged to stay out of clubs to avoid the temptation to drink again, which could result in a yearlong ban. His suspension is costing Prater $750,000 of his $3 million base salary. There's the rub.

The Broncos are paying big bucks for their specialists — Prater will count $3.812 million against this year's cap and punter/holder Britton Colquitt another $3.25 million.

Current K Brandon McManus signed a deal that would pay him $420,000 this year and $510,000 in 2015, when Prater's base salary jumps to $3.25 million.

That's no small consideration for a team that has several stars coming up for big long-term contracts, including Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas and Chris Harris Jr.

McManus wants to stay here with them. He sees Denver not as a stopover but as his destination.

Fantasy Impact: 

So far he's turning this into a decision for the Broncos, but the life of a kicker can change with one missed kick. Prater has two more games to serve and the Broncos take on Seattle and Arizona, both teams with good defense that could keep those contest close - meaning McManus could have a chance to play a big role.

Broncos Beat: Demaryius Thomas typically bounces back in a big way

Any time Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas has a game with fewer than 50 yards receiving -- and it hasn't happened all that often with Peyton Manning at quarterback -- the next week is routinely a big day. Thomas had 48 yards receiving in the opener. Over the past two seasons combined, Thomas has been held to under 50 yards receiving in six games. Five times Thomas has followed that with a 100-yard day in his next game and scored a touchdown in four of those games. You'd have to have a pretty stacked receiving corps to even consider sitting Thomas, but this week is definitely not the week for it.

Fantasy Impact: 

So Thomas has gained 100-plus yards in five of six games after being held under 50 yards. What about the other game? He posted 4-82-1 against the Chiefs in 2012 after a 3-42-1 line the week before.
