As stated earlier, the Houston Texans are with out Kevin Johnson for the Monday night matchup against the Denver Broncos. This monster blow to the Texans’ secondary allows the Broncos to take center stage in the wide receivers. Despite ranked 6th in the NFL in pass defense, the Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius will feast on the back end of their defense all game long.

Thomas and Sanders failed to get separation from the San Diego Chargers corners last Thursday. The toughest opponents will raise level of play after two-game losing streak. Even though Antonio Cromartie lost a step a couple years ago, the Arizona Cardinals’ defense performs well each season. The year Cromartie played in Arizona, Thomas torched him or whoever in coverage. There is no Cromartie in the Texans’ secondary, but Thomas and Sanders will expose how bad Houston misses Johnson.

In just two games against the Texans, Thomas has close to 180 yards in total. Sanders only played Houston once in his career back in 2011. In his lone game, Sanders was targeted twice gaining just 10 yards receiving. Sanders is a better threat than 2011 and arguably the Broncos number one target. Both Sanders and Thomas will be relied on to help their young quarterback, no matter who starts.
