Julius Thomas Fantasy News 2013/14

Speaking Monday, Broncos interim coach Jack Del Rio would only call Julius Thomas' knee injury a "sprain," and labeled him day to day.
JDR was extremely low on specifics. Both "sprain" and "day to day" could mean almost anything, though it does appear serious injury can be ruled out. Either way, Thomas is looking shaky for Sunday's showdown with the Patriots. Owners need to have a contingency plan ready. Thomas' status will be updated no later than Wednesday.

Appearing on GameDay Morning, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported it's "not looking good" for Julius Thomas (knee) to play Sunday night against the Patriots.
Thomas will work out this morning, and the Broncos are expected to make a decision on him then. The Denver Post calls him 50-50 to play, leaving Orange Julius as a full-blown game-time decision. Fantasy owners need to have a backup plan in place. You can start by picking up Joel Dreessen, who would draw the start for the Broncos if Thomas can't play. Keep it locked here for updates.

Sports' Jay Glazer reports Julius Thomas (questionable, knee) would need a "miracle" to convince the Broncos to let him play on Sunday Night Football against New England.Thomas should be penciled out of fantasy lineups in tonight's latest game. Look for Joel Dreessen to play the most snaps among Denver tight ends, with Jacob Tamme seeing some action on passing downs and Virgil Green playing in three-tight end jumbo packages. Thomas practiced twice this week, albeit on a limited basis, so it sounds like he should only miss one game.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Julius Thomas' (knee) chances of suiting up Sunday against the Chiefs are "iffy at best."
Thomas is listed as questionable after getting in three limited practice sessions. He's a full-blown game-time decision one week after being inactive. The Broncos are playing it extremely safe with their freakishly athletic tight end. Thomas will go through pregame warm-ups, and then a decision will be made. Owners need to have other options in place again this week.
