At #2 is Denver Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas. Thomas was selected to his second consecutive Pro Bowl last season, but he and the Broncos were too busy preparing for the Super Bowl to accept the invitation. Nonetheless, Thomas has shown that he is one of the league’s best.
The great thing about Thomas is that quarterback Peyton Manning loves him. In a pass-heavy offense like the one Denver runs, it’s never a bad thing to have the quarterback’s favorite receiver on your team. Thomas lead the team in receptions and receiving touchdowns, driving home that point.
The only down side to having Thomas is that there are just so many passing options in Denver. Besides Thomas, Manning could throw to Wes Welker, Julius Thomas or Emmanuel Sanders, and everyone knows how much Manning likes to spread the love around to all of his receivers.
Nonetheless, Thomas will get more than enough points for you. When Manning throws almost 60 touchdowns, getting only a quarter of those still gets you around 15 touchdowns, enough to be a top 3 receiver.
