Thompson was waived by the Broncos on Friday, Mike Klis of 9News reports.
EDGE Analysis
An undrafted rookie in 2014, Thompson managed to garner a roster spot in each of his first three seasons and played in 30 games for the Broncos between 2014 and 2015. It's possible the back will be claimed by another club, or he would wind up on the free agent market.

Thomas rushed for 19 yards on three carries in Sunday's loss to Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
The three touches were a season-high for Thompson. The former undrafted free agent never got many looks at fullback after rookie Andy Janovich went on injured reserve nor has he gotten many opportunities at running back. Though Sunday should be all about preparing for 2017, it'd be a surprise if Thompson got much usage as Denver will almost surely want to get a long last look at rookie Devontae Booker.

Thompson carried the ball twice for five yards in Sunday's win over the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson got a few more looks than planned after No. 2 back Kapri Bibbs went out with an ankle injury. With veteran Justin Forsett, versed in Gary Kubiak's offense, now in the fold - expect Thompson's value to return to the occasional goal-line carry.

Thompson is prepared to fill the fullback role with rookie Andy Janovich on injured reserve, Cameron Wolfe of The Denver Post reports
EDGE Analysis
Thompson, a halfback/fullback hybrid, was called up from the practice squad to provide depth after C.J. Anderson went on injured reserve. He's carried the ball just once this year, but that carry encapsulates why Thompson might be a threat at fullback - as he scored on a one-yard plunge from fullback spot in Week 9's win over San Diego. The carry was reminiscent of a two-touchdown game Thompson had against San Diego in 2014, both touchdowns also scored as the upback. The emergence of tight end A.J. Derby may give the Broncos enough flexibility to move tight end Virgil Green into backfield between the 20-yard lines, but once the Broncos get near the goal-line, don't be surprised if Thompson vultures a few scores.

Thompson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 10 tilt with the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
After Thompson failed to log any carries in the Week 9 loss against the Raiders, the Broncos determined that they would be able to get by with only two running backs -- Devontae Booker and Kapri Bibbs -- this week. Fullback Andy Janovich may also see touches as necessary during the game, but assuming the team comes out of Week 10 with no injuries to those three players, Thompson could remain a regular on the inactive list.

Thompson rushed for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson scored on a short plunge from the fullback position. Fullback Andy Janovich would typically get such a carry, but the rookie reportedly has a brace on his hand. Thompson, despite just being promoted to the active roster, is the most experienced back on Denver's roster and could get some short-area touches as a halfback/fullback hybrid in the coming weeks.

Thompson was officially promoted to the Broncos' 53-man roster Saturday, Mike Klis of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
With C.J. Anderson being placed on the IR it makes sense for the Broncos to add some running back depth to their roster. Thompson will now backup Devontae Booker and Kapri Bibbs in the Broncos' backfield.

Thompson was added to Denver's practice squad Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson has shown that he can produce at the NFL level, but given the Broncos' depth at running back, the 24-year-old will have to at least begin the season on as a member of the practice squad. Thompson accrued one start last season, but the three-year vet only totaled 48 yards on the year. There is a chance that Thompson will make his way on Denver's active roster during 2016.

Thompson was waived by Denver on Friday, Mike Kils of 9News in Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson joined the Broncos as an undrafted player two years ago and has been a contributor. His release means that Andy Janovich has taken over as the team's fullback for 2016.

Thompson (illness) is inactive for Sunday's playoff game against the Steelers, the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Thompson's absence isn't much of a hit to fantasy players, it does impact the Broncos' backfield depth Sunday behind C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman.
