There are 15 NFL receivers who have caught at least 8 TDs this year, and the Broncos have four of them. Julius Thomas, Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Eric Decker have been a big part of why a lot of fantasy teams had meaningful Week 15 games. So it was a big disappointment, and a shocker, that none of them scored last night against the Chargers.
It was the first week all season when at least one of those players didn't score. At least three of them have scored five times, and two of them have scored on five other occasions. In nearly half (6) of their 13 games, those receivers have combined for at least 4 TDs.
The table below shows the weekly scoring breakdown of the four receivers, including their combined totals in each week.
