The Facts: Thomas knows former Lions WR Calvin Johnson retired at 30, and he's seen other wide receivers lose a step as they reach their 30s. Thomas is doing everything in his power to make sure that doesn't happen to him. As he approaches his 30th birthday in December, he still has plenty he hopes to accomplish. "It's a change of my diet, the way I work out [and] take care of my body," Thomas said.

Diehards Line: According to the team's official web site, Thomas has been the quiet iron man on the Broncos roster since the end of his 2011 season. He’s started 90 straight games, even as he’s battled hip pain for much of the recent past. That pain is gone now and Thomas should have reason to again expect the stats that tend to accompany a player of his caliber. Reunited with Offensive Mike McCoy and challenged by Head Coach Vance Joseph, a healthy Thomas should be a focal point of the Broncos offense. In McCoy's final season with the Broncos during his first stint as offensive coordinator, Thomas earned his first Pro Bowl appearance and tallied 94 receptions, 1,434 yards and 10 touchdowns. Those numbers have Thomas feeling hopeful a renaissance could be on the horizon. If so, Thomas is going to be a solid fantasy value.
