Fantasy Football Week 2 Gold Mine: Meet Broncos’ Eric Decker
Eric Decker, WR, Denver Broncos: 5 catches, 133 yards, 2 TD
Decker is a graduate of Rocori High School a few miles outside of St. Cloud, Minnesota. He attended University of Minnesota and, after two years, became one of the best receivers in the nation. In his junior year, Decker had 84 catches for 1074 yards and 7 TD's in 12 games. In 2010, he started on a tear. The 6'3", 218 pound pass catcher hauled in 50 catches for 758 yards and 5 TD's in only 8 games. Unfortunately, he sprained his foot and didn't play another game. The Broncos drafted Decker in the 3rd round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He was picked just after the Bengal's Jordan Shipley and one pick before Tampa Bay's Dezmon Briscoe.
Projection:
Decker is no stranger to racking up yards and touchdowns. Like Bills wideout Stevie Johnson, he already had a prolific college season under his belt, and while he may not have started the season on anyone's radar, he has the potential to end up on most rosters by the end of the season. With two games against the Chiefs remaining on the Broncos' schedule, he may be a good play.
