Demaryius Thomas caught three balls and one touchdown in his first game back from an Achilles injury.
Analysis: With Brandon Lloyd in St. Louis, Demaryius Thomas’ outlook for the remainder of the 2011 season looks promising. Thomas led Denver with ten targets Sunday against Miami which is impressive since Tim Tebow only passed the ball twenty-seven times. Obviously, with Tebow at quarterback Demaryius Thomas is not a reliable option but in deeper leagues he will be valuable. Thomas is 6’3″ 230 pounds and has elite straight line speed, he immediately becomes Denver’s biggest threat at wide out and of course in the red zone.
Demaryius Thomas is not valuable in PPR leagues but in deep standard leagues his potential touchdown numbers and big play ability certainly merits a look. Tebow is not the ideal quarterback for any fantasy wide out but his scramble ability can lead to some big gains down field and Thomas will certainly be the beneficiary. Going forward, Thomas will be the most valuable fantasy wide out in Denver and in deeper leagues can provide depth and solid touchdown potential.
