After leaving Denver, many wondered how Julius Thomas would fare without Peyton Manning throwing him the football.

Well, if his second game as a Jaguar is any indication, Thomas is going to be just fine.

After missing the first four weeks of the season due to surgery to repair his broken finger, Thomas made quite a splash in Week 6 against the Texans. Catching 7 of his team leading 13 targets, Thomas collected 78 yards and a receiving touchdown for the Jaguars.

With second-year quarterback Blake Bortles operating at a high level and Thomas beginning to round into mid-season form, the Jaguars tight end needs to be owned in all leagues as a TE1 with the potential to leap into elite territory as the season progresses.
