Denver Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas is on some kind of roll. Since the bye, over the past three weeks he's caught 26 passes for 523 yards and five touchdowns. That's a season's worth of stats for some guys, which is crazy. He's averaging a shade under 90 yards after the catch per game over his last three and has been making plays like few others.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Demaryius Thomas
Thomas is rolling like nobody’s business. How much should fantasy owners be expecting this week?
Justin Edmonds
In Week 8, Thomas will take on the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night. The Chargers have only allowed a touchdown to a receiver in just two games, but they have dealt with some favorable matchups (in order since Week 1): Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.
Sure, the Chargers do have terrific ratings on paper with the fifth-fewest fantasy points allowed to receivers on the year. However, Thomas is going to eat.
Fantasy impact: Expect monster numbers for this week’s No. 1 fantasy play.
