The Facts:
Thomas' breakout season took place last year and put him in line for a contract extension, but he could make another leap in 2014. Entering his fourth year with the Broncos, the athletic tight end expects to be utilized even more in his second season as a starter. "What I think people will see different in me (this year) is that they will use me a lot more creatively," Thomas recently said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Thomas continued: "I think there are a lot of things that our offense wanted to do with me, but you can only learn so much in one year. No matter how much time you have at practice, it never seems to be enough when you're learning and trying to come into your own. ..." It's safe to say he did that last year, pulling in 65 receptions for 788 yards with 12 touchdowns. Now, as NFL.com suggests, the Broncos' loss of Eric Decker in free agency will open up even more opportunities for Thomas. The tight end's increased knowledge of the offense, experience from starting 14 games and an expanded role could have him flirting with the 1,000-yard barrier in 2014. It already has him sitting in the top-3 at his position in the eyes of fantasy football owners.
