Denver Broncos tight end Julius Thomas was at team practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday, according to Jeff Legwolf of ESPN. Thomas was reportedly "moving well," which is a good sign. There's no word on whether he'll be designated as limited or full participant, but it doesn't really matter at this point. What matters is that Thomas is expected to make his return.
Julius Thomas practices again Thursday; fantasy value high

Thomas has missed Denver's past two games -- both wins -- with an ankle injury. He hasn't been able to put up the yardage expected of him this season, with 40 receptions for 426 yards, but he's been ridiculous in the red zone, scoring 12 touchdowns. That's where his value comes from, and that's why it'll be great for the Broncos to have him back against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Of course, Thomas isn’t guaranteed to return in Week 14. Fantasy owners should see what designation he gets on Friday’s injury report, and should keep up with the news on Saturday and Sunday. However, he’s expected to play and is a must-start in the event that he does.
