5) Demaryius Thomas

Thomas, another young, big, talented receiver, was the hardest to rank. He emerged last season as Peyton Manning‘s go-to guy, a great role to be in. I would have him ranked higher but I’m just not sure how many catches Thomas will lose to Wes Welker. The Broncos may have one of the most potent passing attacks in the NFL with Manning, Welker, Thomas, Eric Decker, and Joel Dreessen. That is a lot of balls to spread around. On the plus side, Thomas caught 94 balls for 1.434 yards and 10 touchdowns in2012. That is a lot of production. Welker is 32 years old and has been banged up some in the past. With very little running game to speak of, the Broncos will throw the ball. If Thomas continues to hold Manning’s trust, he should develop into fantasy gold.
