Demaryius Thomas, WR, Denver Broncos

Positional ADP: WR15 | Projected Finish: WR22

Demaryius Thomas has been a quality wide receiver for a long time, but I'm still going to pass on him at this ADP.

Not only is he being taken ahead of his projected finish, his teammate Emmanuel Sanders offers a similar 2017 projection at a cheaper price.

Thomas 90 1,083 5
Sanders 79 1,032 5


To get Thomas, you have to spend a third-round pick. To get Sanders, you can wait until the end of the seventh or start of the eighth round.

The two Broncos have been similarly effective, as their career averages attest.

Instead Try

Sanders, of course. But if you really want someone in the third round, consider DeAndre Hopkins or Brandin Cooks.
