Broncos TE Julius Thomas (knee) graduated to a full practice on Thursday.  He's set to return for this weekend's game against the Titans.  Sitting 3rd in fantasy points per game at the position, Thomas remains a must-start.

Broncos TE Julius Thomas (knee) remained limited in practice on Wednesday.  He was limited all last week before being deemed inactive on Sunday.  All we can say for sure right now is that Thomas still isn't at 100%.  We probably won't have a good idea of his Week 14 status until Friday.

Broncos TE Julius Thomas (knee) is inactive for today’s game against the Chiefs.  Jacob Tamme posted a 5-57-1 line in Thomas’ absence last week and figures to serve as Denver’s primary pass-catching TE again today.  He’s a fine emergency plug-in if you were counting on Thomas.

ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Broncos TE Julius Thomas "iffy at best" for today's game against the Chiefs.  It's a bit surprising after Thomas was able to put in 3 limited practices this week.  His knee is still "tight," per Schefter.  A final decision won't be made until pregame warmups.  That puts fantasy owners in a pickle with the 4:25 pm ET kickoff.  Thomas should probably be on fantasy benches unless you have another viable late-game option.

Broncos TE Julius Thomas (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 13.  He put in 3 limited practices and is fully expected to play against the Chiefs on Sunday.  Even at less than 100%, Thomas is a strong fantasy option.  He went for 43 yards and a score against Kansas City a couple weeks ago.

Broncos TE Julius Thomas (knee) practiced on Wednesday.  He got in limited workouts last Thursday and Friday but was held out of Sunday night's game -- at least partly because of the sub-freezing temperature.  Thomas is fully expected to play against the Chiefs this weekend.  He'll be a high-end fantasy option.

ESPN's Adam Schefter hears the Broncos are "optimistic" that TE Julius Thomas (knee) will return for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.  He had trouble getting that knee warmed up pregame last night.  We'll keep tabs on his practice participation this week.  Thomas went for 43 yards and a score against the Chiefs before going down a couple weeks ago.

Broncos TE Julius Thomas (knee) is inactive for tonight's game against the Patriots.  He'll target a return for next week's rematch against the Chiefs.  TEs Joel Dreessen, Jacob Tamme and Virgil Green all figure to see increased action tonight.  Dreessen is the best fantasy bet, but he's just an emergency option for owners with an open spot in their starting lineup still.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears "it's not looking good" for Broncos TE Julius Thomas to play against the Patriots tonight.  He adds that his status is still "up in the air."  Rapoport is usually spot-on with these Sunday-morning reports.  We'll look for additional updates on Thomas' status the rest of the day, but we'd now lean toward benching him in fantasy.  Even if Thomas plays, there's a strong chance his snaps will be limited.  We might not find out his official status until 7 pm ET tonight.

Redskins TE Jordan Reed (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the 49ers.  He's yet to be medically cleared and shouldn't be considered a lock to be ready for Week 13.  TE Fred Davis is expected to replace Reed as Washington's pass-catching TE on Monday.  He's been a healthy scratch since Week 6 but has plenty of ability.  He's a fine option for Reed owners or as an emergency fill-in for owners hoping to use Broncos TE Julius Thomas.
