Denver Broncos wide receiver Cody Latimer could finally see some playing time with Emmanuel Sanders (concussion) injured and Wes Welker proving ineffective, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post. Cody has just a single target to his name this season, a 9-yard reception that came back in Week 10.

Fantasy Impact: The 2014 draft class has featured its share of star potential at the wide receiver position, so maybe Latimer will get a fair chance to strut his stuff before the season is over.
Considering Welker has just 264 yards and a touchdown through eight games and Sanders is out, now would be as good a time as any to give the rookie a look.
The Broncos as a team don't appear to be as dominant as they were last year, but Latimer is viewed as a gifted receiver, and with Peyton Manning at quarterback, even a pass catcher with marginal talent can turn into a stud.
Fantasy owners should see what happens with Latimer in Week 12 before considering placing a waiver claim on him
