Royal flushes D-Jax?
Is my Broncos preview below already out of date? Perhaps. I certainly didn't have the information that Eddie Royal passed Darrell Jackson on the depth chart, at least for now. Mike Shanahan is always good for a few tricks, but it appears Royal will start opposite Jackson while Brandon Marshall is out. And when Marshall returns, Royal has a decent chance of keeping the gig. Keary Colbert is nowhere to be found.
While I still don't like taking rookie wideouts in redraft leagues, my optimistic ranking of Royal in dynasty leagues is looking pretty sweet ... for now. Royal will move ahead of Devin Thomas and James Hardy as the top-ranked rookie wideout in our latest projections, even if that only makes him a late-round pick. In a perfect world, he could evolve into the T.J. Houshmandzadeh to Marshall's Chad Johnson. But that will still take a year or two.
