Any thoughts? Potential #1? Bust?

This is a team that I don't understand. They have a top qb, trade him for draft picks, had a top 5 wr and trade him and then draft his "close". But regardless of that I think that Thomas, if he can stay healthy, will turn into a top wr. I think the one you have to look out for on there roster is Erik Decker, they talk about him a ton on Sirius NFL network and all think that he is going to be a big time wr. Good luck.

He's a big guy that can jump and use his body to shield defenders, but is not overly athletic IMHO. He's not Marshall.
I think he's boom or bust.

He's got some upside from an opportunity standpoint -- he's no worse than the #2 receiving option in DEN.




by the way -- I agree on Decker as a sleeper, good call 9911

Should be good after a year or two. I do not like him his first year because he has no QB to throw to him.

I think he landed in a HORRIBLE situation. Orton is average at best, Quinn hasn't shown he's anything special, and Tebow is a project. It'll be 2-3 years until he can produce, IMO, but then again...isn't that what it takes for most wrs? I won't be targeting him. I prefer Dez and Golden over him.

Demariyus is in the second tier of WRs this year fantasy-wise for me. I love Dez, little bit of a homer but ahh well, and Golden Tate (Steve Smith and Hines Ward's baby) at the top-tier for immediate and 2-3 year fantasy production. After that Benn, Briscoe, Thomas, etc. are all equal money for me based on how their team progresses and puts talent around them to be successfull IMO, that's why I think Dez and Tate are coming into decent situations and should be the first two WRs taken if the owners are looking for fantasy impact in the first three years.

He's got bust written all over him. He can't run a route to save his arse and it won't be like it was in college where they say go deep and jump for it. Not to mention he went to a bad situation IMO.
