Even if you aren't a Tim Tebow fan, it's pretty hard escaping the love fest that he has in the media. ESPN usually latches onto that BIG name that everyone loves or loves to hate. Brett Favre was the darling for many years. But once he retired and stepped out of the spotlight, there wasn't another to come on the scene until Tebow got the starting job and blew up. It's hard to argue against what he has accomplished in the past several weeks, but it's also weird to see Good Morning America throw love at him even after a loss to the Patriots. With all the Tebow love, several Bronco players who have stepped up have gone unnoticed. One being Demaryius Thomas. In the last 3 weeks, Thomas has racked up 18 receptions, 338 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns. His 13 targets in Week 15 was not only a team high, but was more than all other receivers combined. Thomas is a solid bet to see a lot of targets again this week against the Bills.
Below is the top 20 players by targets as we head into Week 16. As you can see, we now have our all new NFL Target report section which allows owners to keep track of all their fantasy players.
