Denver Broncos’ Peyton Manning, Julius Thomas & Demaryius Thomas

Wes Welker, Monte Ball, Emmanuel Sanders, Knowshon Moreno and Eric Decker have all been moving parts over the last year, but Manning, Thomas and Thomas have been constant. And they’ve been dominant.

Julius has been an absolute vacuum in the redzone this year. Last year, Demaryius established himself as one of the league’s elite wide receivers. But there are only so many touchdowns to go around. This year, five have gone to Julius and one to Demaryius. That’s just how it goes. Don’t think for a second that his contract is an issue. Demaryius is about to burst with yardage. After the Cardinals, the Broncos have an incredibly easy schedule. Manning and the Thomases could reach a whole new level.
