Broncos | Demaryius Thomas was shut down by Pats

Denver Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas had just one catch for 36 yards against New England Patriots CB Logan Ryan in Week 12. The matchup is expected to be the same for the AFC Championship game, and Patriots CB Malcolm Butler will likely match up against WR Emmanuel Sanders.

Footballguys View: Thomas is doing a good job of shutting himself down lately, considering the case of hand yips he seems to have contracted. The Broncos need him to pull it together soon though, and he’ll get plenty of targets this week. His struggles with drops and thel ikely focus on him from the defense keeps him as a WR2 though.
