Denver Broncos
Demaryius Thomas/Emmanuel Sanders (Wide Receivers): Thomas is looking to continue his 100 yard game streak. For the past two games Thomas has produced pretty well without getting into the end zone. Sanders should be ready to go for his week 9 matchup as he was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Vontae Davis could shadow either wide receiver however he suffered an injury in the Colts week 8 game so he could be limited.
Ronnie Hillman/C.J. Anderson (Running Backs): Anderson and Hillman put up identical performances last week even though Hillman got 5 more carries. Indianapolis has given up the 8th most fantasy points to running backs, so this Denver running attack could see some heavy production this week. It seems as if the Broncos have finally figured out how to run the ball which should beneficial for both running backs.
Indianapolis Colts
T.Y. Hilton/Donte Moncrief (Indianapolis Colts): Hilton will likely sit in week 9 as his foot injury has still hindered him from getting on the field. This leaves a large majority of targets for Donte Moncrief. Moncrief should see a lot of Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr so temper your expectations. Moncrief should be a low tier flex play.
Frank Gore (Running Back): Gore is up against the 4th ranked rushing defense and he has not broken 100 rushing yards all season. His workload has increased so he could be a viable flex play but you have to be concerned with this matchup.
Andrew Luck (Quarterback): Denver's defense has given up the fewest points to quarterbacks this season and Andrew Luck is still struggling after having a couple of solid weeks under center. Luck will look to get the Colts first win in 3 weeks against the toughest defense in the NFL, things should not turn around for him this week.
