Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (neck) is listed as probable for the team's Week 5 match up against the Oakland Raiders. Thomas was limited in practice on Wednesday before being upgraded to a full participant on Thursday and Friday. He was never in any real danger of missing the division rivalry game.

Fantasy impact: Despite the fact that the Broncos’ offense has been underwhelming, the stud receiver has still managed to hold it together. Through four games, the only effect on Thomas’s stats has been his end zone productivity. He’s only hauled in one touchdown. It’s absolutely nothing to be overly concerned as he’s still provided value in standard and PPR formats, averaging eight receptions and 90.3 yards per game. Regression to the mean puts him in a good position to step the scoring up soon as he’s averaged 11.67 touchdowns over the last three seasons. Owners should continue to fire up Thomas as a WR1 as he takes on an unintimidating Raiders secondary this week.
