Fantasy Impact: This Thomas injury was interesting. Speculations early were that it could but serious, but now it seems that Thomas may be good to go Sunday. It’s still hard to tell if Thomas can play through the pain in Week 2. The Broncos and owners should remain hopeful. If Thomas can go, he has a favorable matchup facing a Colts secondary that was carved up for 340 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1.
