Demaryius Thomas had a tumultuous 2018 season. Starting it with the Denver Broncos — the team that drafted him in the first round back in 2010 — he saw considerable action as a hybrid X/Z-receiver early on during the season but failed to make a significant impact on a struggling passing attack. This as well as the emergence of younger options like Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton, led the Broncos to pull the plug at the trade deadline.
On October 30, the veteran was moved to the Houston Texans.
