Broncos' Demaryius Thomas expects to sustain target total

Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas does not expect his target total to drop off this season.

What It Means:

The Broncos are expected to lean more run-heavy, but Thomas does not think the new approach will dramatically affect his numbers. "I think the targets will be the same," Thomas said. "If we run it better, we can make plays down the field." Thomas has seen at least 177 targets in each of the last two seasons, and while that might be too lofty of a goal, he is still a good bet to earn around 150 looks.

Among the 32 wide receivers with at least 100 targets in 2015, Thomas ranked 26th in Reception Net Expected Points per target. Our algorithms project Thomas for 89 receptions for 1,115 yards and 8.02 touchdowns in 2016.
