Week 4- Thomas is the guy to own in Denver, and Decker is starting to look like he will not be reaching his upside this season. Peyton Manning isn’t the same guy, and even with the easy matchup Decker is just a WR3.
Week 1- Eric Decker gets the very tough Houston Pass Defense who should be able to slow down Peyton Manning. With Thomas looking like the clear #1 WR in Denver, Decker is really more of a WR3 for week 3.
Week 1 – Eric Decker and the Broncos have one of the tougher schedules in football this season, and it starts out against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Manning will have to shake off some of the rust he was showing in the preseason if Decker expects to have a big game, and we have him as a low WR3 for this matchup.
Preseason Analysis
Reports out of Bronco’s training camp by beat writers show Eric Decker as having the best rapport with new teammate Peyton Manning. They have connected all over the field, and for that reason Decker has vaulted up our rankings to become a #3 WR for fantasy teams in 2012. In most drafts his ADP is low, but don’t expect all leagues to overlook the Broncos wideout, and we recommend taking Decker in the 7th or 8th round on draft day.
