The Denver Broncos are listing Emmanuel Sanders as questionable to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9.
This can actually be considered good news after Sanders suffered what looked like a very serious leg injury in Week 6. That led to him missing the next two games, though he was able to return to practice in a limited capacity.
Even so, Sanders is coming back to a Broncos offense now in shambles and in the midst of a quarterback change, going from Trevor Siemian to Brock Osweiler. It is hard to see Sanders being fantasy relevant anytime soon. He has failed to break 80 yards receiving this season.
Fantasy Impact: If Sanders is active, he will face an Eagles defense allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers over the last three weeks. With all of the uncertainty surrounding Sanders and the Broncos offense, keep him benched even if he is active.
