Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Wes Welker's Post-Week 12 Fantasy Reaction

Peyton Manning likes to throw the football. Therefore, being a receiver for the Denver Broncos is fun. Figuring out which wideout will be on the receiving end of those throws can at times be difficult for fantasy owners, though.

In Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins, it was Demaryius Thomas who broke out while Emmanuel Sanders also continued a great season. Wes Welker, meanwhile, didn't have much success in the first half but caught his second touchdown of the year.

Player	Demaryius Thomas	Emmanuel Sanders	Wes Welker
Rec.	10	9	4
Targets	13	13	4
Rec. Yds	87	125	18
Rec. TDs	3	0	1
Fantasy Points	26.7	12.5	7.8

Thomas was on the other end of two touchdown passes from Manning and still looks the part of the No. 1 receiver for the Broncos. In fact, he might be one of the best wideouts in the entire NFL, as Mike Klis of The Denver Post notes:

Outside of Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders made the start and had another strong outing after suffering a concussion last weekend. Sanders remains the second receiver to own with Welker's production again being held to a minimum.    

Welker did register a late touchdown but his targets will likely be reduced when Julius Thomas returns soon. Even against a difficult Kansas City Chiefs pass defense in Week 13, fantasy owners can rely on Thomas and Sanders to put up solid numbers.
