| Tommy Rowan Juan Elway | “Welker should only help him get even more single coverage. Thomas is a beast and Manning loves him.” | |
The Fake Football | “Welker could take away a few targets, but will help the targets he does get become more productive.” | “I want to rank him higher, but that offense is fairly inconsistent for receivers. The loss of Boldin helps a little, but I'm still wary.” |
| Derek Lofland Fantasy Football Maniax | “Thomas was a beast last year with 94 receptions for 1,434 yards and 10 touchdowns, but his quarterback is 37 years old, which is always a concern for elite receivers. The signing of WR Wes Welker should make the offense even better, but it could also take a few targets away from Thomas and Eric Decker.” | “Smith has a ton of talent on an offense that has not been consistent throwing the ball in the regular season. He finished the year with 49 receptions for 855 yards and eight touchdowns, but he is still only entering his third year and is a player on the rise. He should see an increase in targets with Anquan Boldin playing in San Francisco.” |
| Staff Rankings FFLockerRoom | “Entering his 4th NFL season, finished 8th in and 4th in receiving yards. The percentage of snaps Thomas will face man-to-man coverage is sure to rise with the addition of Welker. Thomas is a solid No.1 Fantasy WR worth targeting in Round 2 come Draft Day.” | “I have legitimate questions about whether Torrey can be the #1 guy on a team. Without Boldin in town defenses will always be able to carry over a safety.” |
| Kyle Wachtel Forensic Fantasy | “Will be top notch as long as Peyton is there” | “Set his floor at 50-850-7; upside w/ more opportunity” |
NFL Soup | “Thomas should only be better as he prepares for year two with Peyton Manning.” | “We know he can make big plays, but can Smith be the everything man with Boldin out of town?” |
