Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was unable to record a single catch in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs before leaving the game in the third quarter to be tested for a concussion. He was playing through an ankle injury as well. On top of Sanders' injury woes, quarterback Peyton Manning was abysmal on Sunday, completing 5 of 20 passes for 35 yards and four interceptions before being sent to the bench.

Even though Sanders passed his concussion tests, he was kept out of the remainder of the game. It’s likely the Broncos didn’t want to risk aggravating his ankle with the game out of reach.
Fantasy impact: Everyone on the Broncos’ offense struggled on Sunday. It didn’t help fantasy owners that Sanders was far from 100 percent. Sanders will likely be limited at practice early in the week as he continues to recover from his ankle injury. We’ll have a better idea on his status later in the week. If he can get it together for Week 11, he’s a WR2 with or without Manning under center.
