 Brandon Marshall - WRNov. 20 - 6:54 pm et
Brandon Marshall (neck, probable) practiced in full again Friday.
Marshall won't miss Week 11, but using him in fantasy leagues is a high-risk, if high-upside move. He'll either be playing with a QB that is hurt (Kyle Orton) or one that looked totally inept in the second half of Week 10 (Chris Simms). We'd take Marshall's upside and use him against San Diego.
 Correll Buckhalter - RBNov. 20 - 5:44 pm et
Correll Buckhalter (probable, knee) returned to Broncos practice in full Friday.
The probable tag means the Broncos consider Buckhalter "virtually certain" to be available for his normal role in the offense. However, he saw just two touches last week to Knowshon Moreno's 20 after a first-quarter fumble and may be being weeded out of the offense. Coach Josh McDaniels has shown signs all year that he wants Moreno to take over the featured back role.
 Kyle Orton - QBNov. 20 - 1:21 pm et
Kyle Orton (ankle) was held out of practice for a third straight day Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 11.
While missing practice all week is a bad sign, coach Josh McDaniels said that Orton "absolutely" still has a chance to start against San Diego. Orton will be worked out in pre-game warmups before his status for the game is determined. The Broncos and Chargers don't play until 4:15ET, so Orton is an obvious "sit" in standard leagues. Chris Simms will start if Orton can't.

 Correll Buckhalter - RBNov. 19 - 3:14 pm et
Broncos RBs Correll Buckhalter (knee) and LaMont Jordan (back) missed practice Thursday.
Buckhalter was limited Wednesday, so this is a downgrade for him. The severity of his knee injury is unknown, but he'll likely have to return to practice Friday in order to have a significant role against the Chargers this week. Knowshon Moreno is a high-end RB2 if Buckhalter is held out.

 Brandon Marshall - WRNov. 19 - 3:09 pm et
Brandon Marshall (neck, back) returned to practice Thursday.
Marshall has been banged up the past two weeks, but he's in no danger of missing Sunday's game against the Chargers. We have him ranked as the No. 7 option at wide receiver this week.

 Kyle Orton - QBNov. 19 - 3:04 pm et
Though Kyle Orton is making progress with his ankle injury, coach Josh McDaniels said he won't determine his starting quarterback until necessary.
"We'd love for him to be out there as soon as he can possibly be out there, and very hopeful he’s going to play," McDaniels said. This situation is headed toward a game-time decision. Orton missed practice again Thursday while Chris Simms handled most of the first-team reps. Orton will push to play if it's at all possible, but check back Friday afternoon for an update on his status.

 Brandon Stokley - WRNov. 19 - 12:50 pm et
Broncos beat writer Jeff Legwold says that coach Josh McDaniels doesn't want to use Brandon Stokley on the outside and his slot snaps are getting split.
Basically, Stokley is a spot player and not worthy of fantasy consideration. Jabar Gaffney takes time away from him in the slot, and Eddie Royal plays there a little too. Stokley has gone without a catch in four of his last six games.

 Chris Simms - QBNov. 19 - 11:54 am et
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said he won't change his game plan if Chris Simms is forced into action Sunday.
McDaniels won't even shift left tackle Ryan Clady over to the right side to protect Simms' blind side. We're still expecting Kyle Orton (foot) to start, but if Simms plays he's not a fantasy option. He looked JaMarcus Russell-esque in relief of Orton last week.

 Kyle Orton - QBNov. 18 - 11:50 pm et
The Associated Press reports that Kyle Orton, who sat out practice on Wednesday, has torn ligaments in his ankle.
The good news is Orton's injury is to his left ankle; his right was the problematic joint in 2008. Orton, in a contract year, "adamantly" wants to start against San Diego, and the Broncos' coaching staff is surely with him after seeing Chris Simms complete 3-of-13 passes for 13 yards in the second half of last week's loss to the Redskins. Look for Orton to play Sunday, but he won't be close to 100 percent. Reserve him in all leagues.

 Correll Buckhalter - RBNov. 18 - 8:33 pm et
Correll Buckhalter (knee) was limited in Broncos practice Wednesday.
The knee injury shouldn't keep Buckhalter out of Week 11, but last week's fumble may continue to limit his playing time. He didn't have one touch against the Redskins after the first-quarter miscue and isn't a fantasy option.

 Brandon Marshall - WRNov. 18 - 8:31 pm et
Brandon Marshall was held out of Broncos practice Wednesday with a neck injury.
Marshall, coming off a dominant 134-yard, two-score effort against a tough Redskins secondary, was banged up at one point in Week 10 but finished the game. Marshall is likely in no danger of sitting out against San Diego.

 Bills Offense - TMNov. 18 - 3:47 pm et
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Bills have already contacted Mike Shanahan about their head coaching vacancy.
The Bills are reportedly "in the process" of setting up a visit with Shanahan, and The Mastermind "is willing to listen." While the Browns are targeting Mike Holmgren to be their overseer, Shanahan has emerged as Bills owner Ralph Wilson's desired candidate. Shanahan's hiring, which wouldn't occur before January, would likely cost current Bills GM/COO Russ Brandon his job.

 Kyle Orton - QBNov. 18 - 3:18 pm et
Kyle Orton (ankle) was held out of Broncos practice Wednesday.
Chris Simms and rookie Tom Brandstater shared first-team reps with Orton sidelined. Most signs still point to Orton starting against San Diego after Simms' awful relief outing in Week 10, even if Orton can't practice all week.

 Peyton Hillis - RBNov. 18 - 9:07 am et
Peyton Hillis was a healthy scratch last week because of special teams considerations, according to coach Josh McDaniels.
McDaniels left the door open for Hillis to be active this week, but Hillis won't have a significant role. Those five touchdowns and one 100-yard game he put up last year are a distant memory that will probably never be duplicated.

 Kyle Orton - QBNov. 17 - 6:06 pm et
Kyle Orton (ankle) is scheduled to handle the Broncos' starting quarterback press conference on Wednesday.
Though coach Josh McDaniels wouldn't commit to Orton playing, this is an indication that the team believes he has a legit shot to start against the Chargers in a key AFC West matchup.
Source: Denver Post
 Knowshon Moreno - RBNov. 16 - 9:20 pm et
Knowshon Moreno resumed starting over Correll Buckhalter against the Redskins in Week 10.
Moreno owners got a brief scare when Buckhalter received the first-team nod in Week 9, but the rookie may be taking over this backfield. He saw 20 touches to Buckhalter's two after the veteran's early-game fumble. Consider Moreno a risky, but high-upside RB2/flex against San Diego in Week 11.
 Kyle Orton - QBNov. 16 - 4:35 pm et
Broncos coach Josh McDaniels wouldn't commit to Kyle Orton (ankle) playing in Week 11 at his Monday presser.
McDaniels is from the Bill Belichick school, which teaches secrecy when it comes to injuries. We'll believe NFL Network's Mike Lombardi, who reported that Orton will start against San Diego. Orton owners should keep in mind how poorly he played after his 2008 ankle injury. He was the No. 8 overall fantasy quarterback prior to the Week 8 sprain, only to finish as the QB18.
Source: Associated Press
 Kyle Orton - QBNov. 16 - 2:44 pm et
NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports that Kyle Orton (ankle) will play in Week 11 against San Diego.
Orton's ankle injury cost him the second half of Sunday's loss to the lowly Redskins, but Denver is going to push him to return because Chris Simms was totally ineffective. While Orton has thrown for 11 touchdowns to just four picks this season and is completing a career-high 63.1% of his passes, he won't be a strong QB1 play against San Diego's No. 11 pass defense.

 Kyle Orton - QBNov. 16 - 10:05 am et
With Kyle Orton sidelined by an ankle injury, Chris Simms is at least expected to begin the practice week as the Broncos starting quarterback.
Orton is still holding out hope, but it's not a good sign that he was unable to get back in the game Sunday. Just 3-of-13 after taking over for Orton, Simms was unable to generate any signs of life in two quarters against the Redskins. Downgrade the entire Denver offense if Simms starts in the AFC West clash against the Chargers this week.

 Correll Buckhalter - RBNov. 16 - 9:59 am et
Correll Buckhalter did not touch the football the rest of the game after fumbling in the first quarter Sunday.
"I feel like I let my teammates down today," he said. "I take it upon myself. I’m a better player than that." Coach Josh McDaniels refused to cite the fumble as the primary reason for Buckhalter's benching, instead saying Knowshon Moreno was "running it good so we just left him in the game."
