re: Why are people so down on Demaryius Thomas this year?

You think volume will stay the same without Peyton having the authority to throw whenever he wants?

Denver was 13th in pass attempts in 2015. I would project they finish at least 10 spots behind that in 2016 due to the change in QB and a healthy CJA.

Demaryius is also not a great red zone threat because he's not at his best in contested catch situations. I think his TD ceiling is pretty capped unless he busts a ton of long ones.
