Sanders (illness) caught 6-of-7 targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 37-28 loss to the Bengals. Sanders didn't show any lingering signs of illness, and while he only finished third on the team in targets, he caught touchdowns of four and five yards on consecutive drives in the third quarter. Sanders is still having a fantastic season, but Denver's recent emphasis on the running game has affected Sanders' targets rather than Demaryius Thomas'. Nonetheless, the breakout star will be an excellent option for Week 17, as the Broncos need a win to ensure a first-round bye.
