The Facts:
Thomas admitted the biggest question attached to him is: Can he stay healthy through a 16-game season. He hasn't yet. "That's my question mark," he said. ""I came in hurt and I've been hurt since I came in the league."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Post staffer Mike Klis noted, however, Thomas has also been a beast when healthy. No NFL receiver matched his December-January stats of 35 catches, 745 yards, 4 TDs. His answer to better health? "I actually trimmed down a little to 228," he said. ""I played 232 last year. I want to play at 222." If Thomas thinks being lighter will help him stay healthier, we're all for it. There is something to be said for the power of positive thinking. There is more to be said for the power of a healthy Peyton Manning under center, though. We expect Thomas -- and Erik Decker -- to come up big this fall. If they're healthy.
