2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Sep-05-2012 by Jeb Gorham

Decker is one of the biggest targets for Peyton Manning. Decker played well last season under Kyle Orton. For Decker to be successful this season he needs to really learn Denver's new playbook and be ready to learn from Manning. Decker will play opposite Thomas and this combination could prove to be highly effective. Decker must be up for the challenge and produce day in and day out. If he does all will pay out nicely.

Decker has a minor groin strain, but it did not keep him down during pre-season against Chicago.

Update 8/26/12: Decker and Manning seem to be putting the pieces together. Two TD receptions is not bad for the big wide out. I am beginning to expect more from Decker and would consider him in my wide out fantasy rotation.

2012 Experts Mock Draft (June)
June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012
6.03 DraftSharks.com - Hit me with two straight young breakout receivers. I think the presence of Demaryius Thomas makes it easy to overlook the impressive speed and athleticism of Decker. Plus there's the hands. Oh yeah, and Peyton Manning.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July)
July 16 - 27
6.11 DraftSharks.com - I think he comes with top-10 upside thanks to some 6-5, 230-pound quarterback with a laser, rocket arm.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August)
Aug 14 - 24
5.01 TheHuddle.com - Again it feels like I'm reaching a bit, but Decker wouldn't last two more rounds. Love his upside as Manning's most polished target.
