Funny...Demaryius Thomas had 141 targets in both 2012 and 2017. He dropped from 1,434 to 949 yards. His TDs dropped from 10 to 5.
His best season without a HGH-riddled Manning is 1,083 in 16 games.
Watkins had 1047 yards on 46 less targets....in 13 games. That was with Tyrod Taylor at QB...
Manning has made WRs/TEs look better than they are for his entire career...Hell, Julius Thomas had 788 yards...he has averaged 373 yards since.
Sanders went from 1404 to 555 last season. He never had a 1000 season before HGH...his best was 740.
They are both very good WRs...but they haven't been "elite" in any season without Manning.
