Denver distribution
There was a school of thought that Brandon Marshall's return would render Eddie Royal useless in fantasy leagues. It's safe to drop out of that school. Royal is seventh among wideouts in targets on the season; he's getting chances like a number one receiver. Even if you take out Week 1, Royal remains in the top ten. (Marshall, of course, is first over the last three weeks).
The Broncos throw like crazy and Royal has Jay Cutler's attention. I think he'll be a solid WR2/3 moving forward as the Broncos try to keep up with their terrible defense.
I'd worry more about Tony Scheffler. While he's produced like an every week starter, he has four targets or less in three games this season. That will catch up to him eventually.
Comments
For lack of a better comparison, Marshall/Royal reminds me of the Wayne/Harrison combo a few years back. These duos both played in explosive offenses and there seem to be plenty of targets to go around. Indy was even able to turn out value with their "WR3," i.e. Brandon Stokley or Dallas Clark to a lesser extent, therefore I expected bigger things out of Scheffler. Prehaps this will come along with the maturation process of Cutler?With the lack of top-flite TE's outside of Witten, Gates and Winslow, do you guys see Scheff in the "muddled middle" or have higher hopes for him this season?

I had my eye on royal 2 weeks before the season started.
