Demaryius Thomas said he's expecting more single coverage this season thanks to the arrival of Wes Welker.
"I was kind of excited, actually, because with that guy, and (Eric) Decker, and two great tight ends, it's going to be hard to double-team somebody," Thomas said of the Welker signing. "So, I think it will help me out and help the team out." Thomas ranked 13th in the league last year with 141 targets. Something around 120 is more realistic this season, but he's still locked in as a second-round fantasy pick. Julio Jones is in a similar situation and he produced a top-9 fantasy season last year.

Demaryius Thomas caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in Denver's Divisional Round loss to the Ravens.

Thomas' 17-yard score in the fourth quarter was one of his patented catch-and-run numbers, but it was an otherwise disastrous day for Denver's ascendant No. 1 receiver. He hurt the Broncos with two calamitous drops, and never got on the same page with Peyton Manning. He was targeted on just seven of Manning's 43 pass attempts. Thomas' 94/1,434/10 regular season has him locked-in as a second-round talent in next summer's fantasy drafts, but it's going to be a long offseason for a former first-round pick who's come all the way back from a torn Achilles' tendon.
Jan 12 - 9:19 PM

Demaryius Thomas caught seven passes for 122 yards and a touchdown in Denver's No. 1 seed clinching Week 17 win over the Chiefs.

Thomas' seventh 100-yard game of the year leaves him with a regular-season ending line of 94/1,434/10. It's a remarkable feat for a player whose career was once on the ropes thanks to a torn Achilles' tendon, and establishes Thomas as one of the pre-eminent receivers in the league heading into his age-25 campaign in 2013. The former No. 22 pick is not just a product of Peyton Manning, either, as his fast finish under Tim Tebow in 2011 will attest. Thomas will be a borderline first-round pick in fantasy leagues next summer.

Demaryius Thomas caught nine passes for 102 yards and a touchdown in Denver's Week 16 win over the Browns.

Thomas capped off Denver's opening drive with a 22-yard touchdown, and breezed toward his sixth 100-yard effort of the year despite not touching the ball over the game's final 16:17. The Broncos' third-year receiver will now enter Week 17 with an 87/1,312/9 line. Thomas' ascension is complete.

Demaryius Thomas caught four passes for just 13 yards in the Broncos' Week 15 win over the Ravens.

Thomas was unlucky not to have a big-time game. Early on, he found himself wide open behind the secondary but Peyton Manning overthrew him by a yard. Later, he appeared to be open on a deep post in the end zone but Ravens CB Cary Williams made a great play to tip the ball away at the last minute. After that, the Broncos took the air out of the ball. Don't hesitate to use Thomas as a WR1 in Week 16.

Demaryius Thomas (shoulder) is probable for Week 15 after getting in a full week of practice.

His Week 14 shoulder tweak was nothing more than a minor scare. Squaring off with the Ravens' burnable secondary, Thomas is Rotoworld's No. 5 receiver for Week 15.

Demaryius Thomas (shoulder) is practicing in full this week.

Thomas roughed up his shoulder in last Thursday's win over the Raiders, but played through the injury in the second half. Fifth in the NFL with 1,197 receiving yards, Thomas will square off with Baltimore's banged up and leaky secondary in Week 15.
Wed, Dec 12, 2012 05:39:00 PM

Demaryius Thomas acknowledged that his shoulder was "sore" after Thursday's win over the Raiders, but doesn't expect it to be a problem going forward.

"Oh, I'll be fine," Thomas said. "As long as I can play, I'm good." Thomas returned for second half of the game and now has 10 days to rest the shoulder. Expect him to start and play his normal snap-count at Baltimore in Week 15. Despite the mediocre fantasy output, Thomas earned one of his highest grades (+3.1) of the season from Pro Football Focus in Week 14.

Demaryius Thomas caught five passes for 83 yards in Denver's Week 14 win over the Raiders on Thursday night.

Thomas was officially targeted seven times on the night, but he also drew two defensive penalties to set up first downs for the offense while also turning two of his catches into third-down conversions. The big-bodied Thomas put fear in fantasy owners' hearts by missing the entire second quarter with a shoulder injury before returning to open up the second half. We wouldn't worry too much about the banged-up shoulder. Thomas will have 10 days to rest up before a matchup with the Ravens next week.

Updating a previous item, Demaryius Thomas returned to open the second half of Thursday night's game against the Raiders after missing the second quarter with a shoulder injury.

Thomas was injured midway through the first half after making a 16-yard catch. He was later taken to the locker room and spent the entire second quarter and halftime getting looked at. Thomas opens the half with two catches for 31 yards. Matt Willis and Andre Caldwell filled in during his absence.

Demaryius Thomas left Thursday night's game against the Raiders in the first half with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.

Thomas fought hard for a 16-yard gain in the first quarter to help set up a field goal, but he was tackled by a handful of Raiders and was roughed up. Denver's training staff later took Thomas to the locker room in the second quarter. Andre Caldwell came in to reel in his first pass of the season.

Demaryius Thomas hauled in eight passes for 99 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Broncos to a 31-23 victory over the Bucs in Week 13.

Thomas was targeted 10 times, as Peyton Manning looked to exploit man coverage versus rookie CB Leonard Johnson. The Bucs showed plenty of 2-deep looks to prevent vertical strikes, so Manning and Thomas picked them apart on crossing routes. The Broncos have clinched the AFC West with their seventh consecutive victory, marking the first time since 1986-87 that they've taken the division crown in back-to-back seasons. Having scored in three straight games, Thomas is on pace for a 92/1,496/11 stat line heading into Week 14 at a burnable Oakland secondary.

Demaryius Thomas (knee) is practicing in full this week.

Thomas was limited last Wednesday, but upgraded to full on Thursday and Friday. One of seven receivers with over 1,000 yards on the season, Thomas will be a top-three option against the Bucs' No. 32 pass defense.
Wed, Nov 28, 2012 03:46:00 PM

Peyton Manning said the Broncos are "trying to find ways to get [Demaryius Thomas] the ball."

When Manning tries to do something on the football field, it usually gets done. Thomas' 93 targets rank 15th in the league and he's currently fantasy's No. 5 overall wideout. Finally healthy and showcasing his unique size/speed combination, there's nothing but upside here. The Broncos face the Bucs' league-worst secondary in Week 13.

Demaryius Thomas caught four passes for 82 yards and a touchdown in Denver's Week 12 win over the Chiefs.

Going against his usual M.O., Thomas hauled in his 30-yard bomb in the end-zone instead of galloping for extra yards after the catch. The grab was a beautiful over-the-shoulder number. The 82 yards give Thomas 1,015 on the season with five games left to go. He has a strong chance of finishing as a top-three fantasy receiver.
