  This kid seems to be lighting it up in camp. Sure this is merely training camp/pre-season but he has the physical tools that quite resemble Jared Cook. Peyton loves hooking up with his TE on the field and last year was Dresseen and Tamme. This year Thomas is ahead of them playing with the first team. Sure there are plenty of mouths to feed in Denver but I'm sure he can get low end TE1 numbers in the offense no?

  
  

  Anyone have a projection for him if he's the starting TE for the broncs this year? I'm saying  650 yards 6 TDs

  Kids a beast.. Picked him up last year, but never got his chance

  My 2013 Predictions[Non-PPR]:
  [:(] C.J. Spiller Will Be The #1RB(Jan 9th)
  [ ] Demaryius Thomas will be the #1 scoring WR!(Feb 13th)
  [ ] Trent Richardson will NOT finish as a Top 10 RB!(June 4th)
  [:(] Rob Housler will be a Top 5 TE in 2013!(July 18th)
  [ ] Josh Gordon will put up a 80/1200/10 stat line in just 14 Games!(Sept 5th)

  I'm surprised how quiet it has been, lets keep it that way.

  With Dressen hurt now, his adp/value is going to skyrocket

  I have no insight to add just that his name has been popping all over the place the last few days.

  After hitting it big with Graham in the 2010 rookie draft, I went after Thomas anywhere I could in 2011. He's been on my bench ever since solely because of his raw potential. If anyone can elevate his game, Manning is the guy to do that. You have to remember, he only played one year of college football before entering the 2011 draft. Excited to see what he can do on the field!

  He's looked really good in camp so far. Injuries kept him out the last two years, but this year he's getting as many reps as possible. He's working with the ones and twos in camp just to get more reps. He's a matchup nightmare even more so since people have to focus on decker DT and welker. He should be really good this year.

  I love this guys talent as well. However aren't the Broncos going to a 3 wide out base formation? Seems like they are going to phase out the tight end, no?

  They'll have at least one TE on the field pretty much at all times and so far that TE has been Thomas.

  He was sitting on the trash heap in my league. Just dropped Shayne Graham to grab him. 

  
  

  I am hurting at TE with Gronk and Hernandez as my top two. I go into the season having to rely on Martellus Bennett

  
  

  We are reducing the size of our rosters this year from 35 to 25 to create a better FA pool. But we have to cut to 20 prior to this years draft on the Aug 17/18 and then will add back 5

  
  

  I am keeping these 19 for sure - Who is # 20? - Team in sig. Probably will have to cut down on Thursday the 15th

  
  

  QB - Wilson, Eli, Freeman

  RB - AP, TRich, Lynch, McCoy, Vereen

  WR - AJG, Dez, Fitz, Cruz, Britt, D.Moore, D.Harris

  TE - Gronk, Bennett, A.Hern (wait and see)

  K- Walsh

  ---- Both Leagues - Start QB - RB - RB/WR - WR - WR/TE - TE - K - DST - All TD = 6 / Pass Yd = .04 / Rush-Rec Yd = .10 / No-PPR / No Bonuses ----
  ---- 10 Team Limited Keeper (2 or 3) QB - Ryan, N.Foles / RB - Spiller, Miller, L.Bell, FJax, B.Powell, J.Bell / WR - Hilton, Jennings, Hopkins / TE - Graham, J.Thomas / DST - Dolphins / K - Akers ----
  ----10 Team Dynasty QB - Wilson, Eli, Locker(Inj), T.Pryor / RB - ADP, McCoy, T.Rich, Lynch, Vereen(Inj), Turbin, JaQuizz / WR - AJG, Dez, Cruz, Fitz, Harvin(Inj), Britt, Hopkins, D.Moore, Patterson / TE - Gronk, J. Thomas, Rudolph, M.Bennett, Clay / K - Walsh / DST - Colts, Dolphins -----

  Playing time is going to be the key with this one, we will know more at the end of the preseason. :-)

  DT, Welker, Decker....... can any other WR or TE really be relied on in this offense after the top 3?

  Exactly.. Too many mouths to feed. He may have the talent, but lack of opportunities will limit his upside for sure.

  I could see him as a red zone target for Manning but so are DT, Welker and Decker.   ;)
