| The Broncos have placed Josh Shaw on the injured reserve because of a dislocated elbow, according to the Rocky Mountain News. |
Our View: Shaw has only recorded two tackles this year so he will not be missed. |

| Coach Mike Shanahan is pleased with Peyton Hillis, namely his versatility to be used at other positions, according to the Denver Post. Shanahan said, "He is better with the ball in his hands at the tailback position running the football or catching a pass out of the backfield. He also can play the fullback position, which gives us a lot of flexibility." |
Our View: Shanahan also believes the Broncos can employ him at tight end, as the Colts do with Dallas Clark. As for now, Hillis is to remain the No. 1 running back and should be considered for fantasy lineups with a favorable match-up against the Chiefs. |

| Brandon Stokley sustained a black eye after getting his head shoved into the turf and his helmet jammed into his face Sunday against the Jets, according to the Denver Post. |
Our View: The slot receiver did not sustain a concussion as he initially believed. He should be fine for Week 14 against Kansas City. |

|
| Champ Bailey intends to return to the gridiron in Week 14 following his bout with a groin injury, according to the Denver Post. Bailey said, "This is the best I've felt in two weeks. I'm saying I'm going unless something happens."
|
Our View: He has missed five games this season, and the elite cornerback would provide a boost to the Broncos' unstable secondary as they contend with the Chiefs Sunday. |

|
| Peyton Hillis is expected to remain the Broncos' No. 1 running back when Selvin Young returns from his groin ailment, according to the Denver Post. |
Our View: Hillis had another solid outing Sunday as he bruised his way to 129 rushing yards and a score in a tough match-up against the Jets. Young should be involved more in the passing game upon his return, and Hillis should remain an option for fantasy lineups, especially in Week 14 with a favorable match-up against the Chiefs. |
