Since QB Peyton Mannin came to town, WR Demaryius Thomas has become a fantasy football superstar. To help you form your draft strategy, here is a statistical prediction for his 2014 fantasy season.

Games Played - 16

Since becoming a full-time starter, Thomas hasn’t missed a single start. He has become a workhorse for the Broncos and will play another 16 contests in 2014.

Receptions – 93

Thomas is coming off back-to-back 90 catch seasons. He has become Manning’s number one receiver and will get all the balls he can catch this fall. It seems almost common sense to write down another 90 catches next to D-Train's name.

Yards – 1,422

Thomas has also racked up 1,400 yards in back-to-back seasons. He has become a yardage monster and will be a safe bet to go over 1,400 yards again in 2014.

YPC – 15.4

Thomas has also recorded around 15 yards per reception in two straight seasons. It is safe to say that he will once again average a gaudy 15-plus yards per reception.

Touchdowns – 13

All DT does is score TDs. He caught 14 touchdowns in 2013 and now has 24 over the last two years alone. As long as Manning is still under center, D-Train stands a chance to score 13 touchdowns this season.
