The Denver Broncos fielded the most productive offense the NFL has ever seen in 2013, and they're returning most of the key pieces this season. They've got Peyton Manning and Demaryius Thomas in the fold, as well as tight end Julius Thomas and others. If you were worried even a little bit that something might have changed over the past few months, well, don't sweat it.
Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas looking solid in preseason; fantasy value high
Both Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas have been running and catching the football well in the preseason. We break down the fantasy implications.

Both Demaryius and Julius have looked great so far, and that showed on Sunday when the Broncos took on the San Francisco 49ers in a preseason matchup. San Francisco was obliterated, 34-0, and both players contributed to the effort. Demaryius caught five passes for 37 yards -- hardly a game-breaking stat line, but he did manage to catch all five passes that were thrown his way. The tight end caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown, successfully nabbing all three passes thrown his way.
Fantasy Impact: In addition to both the wideout and tight end looking as sure-handed as ever, Manning was on point with 12 completions in 14 attempts, throwing for 102 yards and a touchdown. Fans and fantasy owners can expect more of the same out of Demaryius Thomas this year -- he caught 92 passes for 1,430 yards and 14 touchdowns last year -- and Julius Thomas as well -- he caught 65 passes for 788 yards and 12 touchdowns.
