FANTASY FOOTBALL NFL PLAYERS

Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker has a team-leading 69 targets this season, four more than WR Demaryius Thomas (65).

Huddle Up: Decker also leads in TDs (7-4), but Thomas has more yards (756-583). Still we're just splitting hairs here as both have established themselves as solid WR1s and, in fact, are tied for 7th overall with 100 fantasy points apiece (Huddle Performance scoring).

Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker had six receptions for a game-high 98 yards and a touchdown in the Week 6 game against the San Diego Chargers Monday, Oct. 15. Decker had a long 55-yard reception, but he lost his footing in the first half, and lost what would have been a sure touchdown.

Huddle Up: Decker rebounded from his embarrassing first-half gaffe to lead all Denver pass catchers on the night. Decker has played second fiddle to fellow wideout Demaryius Thomas for most of the season -- coming in with 2 fewer catches and 162 fewer yards -- but they now have a trio of scoring receptions apiece after both caught TDs Monday night. Decker now has a 53-48 edge over Thomas in total targets on the season, and obviously both should be every-week starters in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker appears to be full strength taking part in practice Thursday, Aug. 2.

Huddle Up: Decker left Wednesday's practice with a groin strain, but since he's back at work Thursday there's no reason to be concerned. Nothing to see here; move along.

Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker suffered a groin strain during practice Wednesday, Aug. 1.

Huddle Up: Other sources indicate that Decker's injury was to his hamstring. Whatever the case, it wasn't serious enough to force Decker to the locker room; however, he did sit out the remainder of team drills. He could take a day or two off of practice, but there's plenty of preseason left for Decker to settle in as Peyton Manning's favorite target.

SI's Peter King raved about Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker after visiting training camp Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29.

Huddle Up: King said Decker was a 'potential star trolling the middle' and is 'sure to be among the league leaders in receptions if healthy for 16 games.' Of course, King also once predicted Danny Wuerffel would throw for 3,700 yards.

Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker (knee) is completely healthy and at full speed while running routes during practice. Decker's strained knee healed quickly and said he would have tried playing in the AFC Championship game had the Broncos advanced last season. 'I think for me it's finding that balance nutritionally, getting enough sleep, working and grinding in the weight room, because I did feel I lost some weight, lost some strength, mentally, it dragged on me a little bit because that was my first full season of playing a lot every game,' Decker said.

Huddle Up: Decker sustained a mild MCL sprain in his left knee in the Wild-Card game. He's fine. Early reports suggest he bonded with Peyton Manning quickly in OTA's. Decker is one of the most popular sleepers in fantasy football this summer (which means he's not a sleeper anymore).
