Fantasy Impact: Thomas was supposedly the No. 2 guy in the Broncos receiving corps behind Eric Decker heading into the season, but there wasn't any disparity in the number of targets seen against the Steelers. Thomas and Decker both finished with seven looks from Manning. It was the 71-yard score, though, that really set the two apart. This battle will be ongoing throughout the season, but with Manning tossing the ball for the Broncos, Thomas and Decker can easily both make an impact for your fantasy team.
