The Denver Broncos have seven players inactive for Monday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons, per Andrew Mason: G/C Philip Blake, WR Andre Caldwell, RB Ronnie Hillman, QB Caleb Hanie, CB Chris Harris, G Chris Kuper and DT Sealver Siliga.

Fantasy Impact: WR Demaryius Thomas is indeed ready to play tonight, and appears to be over the banged up shoulder he had in last night's game. Hillman is a healthy scratch, as the Broncos will roll with Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno splitting carries. The most interesting move here is deactivating the veteran Hanie, leaving raw rookie Brock Osweiler as the backup should anything happen to Peyton Manning. Either the Broncos have complete confidence in his neck being 100%, or their QB depth really is that thin. Could be both.
