The best wide receiver duo in the NFL?

That would be the Denver Broncos’ dynamic duo of Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders.

2016 Stats

Demaryius Thomas: 90 receptions, 1,083 yards, 5 touchdowns

Emmanuel Sanders: 79 receptions, 1,032 yards, 5 touchdowns

Not surprisingly, the statistical production of this duo has regressed over the past two seasons. Peyton Manning’s play took a significant dive in 2015, and the Broncos struggled through the quarterback position in 2016.

Despite the statistical drop, the Broncos’ wide receiver duo has still been incredibly impactful. Thomas, through a bout of drops, has remained one of the most consistent no. 1 receivers in the NFL. Sanders has been somewhat overlooked by Thomas, and many Broncos fans will even tell you that he’s the more reliable of the two at this point.

These guys are dynamic, and a terror for opposing defenses to have to deal with.
