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.
| Player | Rec | Yards | Touchdowns |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
| Player | Reception NEP/Target | Reception Success Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Thomas | 0.74 | 87.3% |
| Sanders | 0.70 | 86.9% |
Instead Try
Sanders, of course. But if you really want someone in the third round, consider DeAndre Hopkins or Brandin Cooks.
