The Facts:
Updating a previous story on a
previous item, after sustaining what looked to be a serious knee injury, Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas made a surprising return at the start of the second half of Week 10's game against the Carolina Panthers. Thomas limped off the field with help of trainers with just over a minute left in second quarter. While he didn't find the end zone, Thomas finished with nine catches for 135 yards on 11 targets in Denver's 36-14 win over Carolina.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This was Thomas' second injury scare in as many weeks. He was listed as probable heading into Week 10 with a knee injury. Fortunately he missed minimal game action both times. Thomas posted his fifth 100-yard game of the 2012 season. He has 54 catches for 891 yards and four touchdowns through nine games and had really thrived under Peyton Manning. While there is little doubt that Thomas will surface on Denver's Wednesday injury report, it'll probably limit him in practice but won't keep him out of Week 11's tasty matchup at home versus the San Diego Chargers. He'll be a must-start fantasy option. Check back later in the week for an update on Thomas' condition.
