NFL pro personnel executives believe Eric Decker is a "Pro Bowl player in waiting."
Decker enjoyed a Pro Bowl-caliber year in 2012, posting career-highs in catches (85) and yards (1,064), and ranking second in the NFL in touchdown receptions (13). Decker, 26 in March, is entering the final season of his rookie deal. The Broncos would be smart to begin long-term negotiations as soon as possible. Feb 18 - 4:21 PM

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker's 2013 salary jumped from $575,000 to $1.323 million based on rookie-deal incentives.

Decker posted a career year in 2012 with Peyton Manning entering the fold. The 2010 third-rounder caught just 50 passes in his first two seasons before exploding for 85 catches, 1,064 yards, and 13 touchdowns this past year. The touchdown total was second-best in the NFL in 2012. Decker is entering the final year of his deal and will be an extremely safe fantasy pick in 2013.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker caught six passes for 84 yards in the Broncos' Divisional Round loss, drawing a team-high 10 targets.

With a seemingly limited Peyton Manning checking down and dumping off a majority of the afternoon, Decker ended up a bigger part of the game-plan than Demaryius Thomas. Regardless of the disappointing result, Decker goes into the offseason on the back of five straight six-catch performances, and as one of the game's best No. 2 receivers at the age of 25. Now fully comfortable with his future Hall-of-Fame quarterback, Decker will be an extremely safe pick in next summer's fantasy drafts.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker stayed hot to close out the regular season in Denver's Week 17 win over the Chiefs, catching seven passes for 76 yards and two touchdowns.

Decker finishes the regular season with four straight six-catch performances, and five touchdowns in four games. The fast finish propels him to a year-ending line of 85/1,064/13. All three totals are career highs by wide margins, and proof positive of what Peyton Manning can do for a receiver. Decker will enter 2013 as one of the most dangerous "Z" receivers in the game, and a strong threat for 100 catches. He'll be an elite WR2 in standard leagues, and borderline WR1 in PPR formats.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker caught six passes for 65 yards and two touchdowns in Denver's Week 16 rout of the Browns.

Decker just keeps rolling, as he's now caught 22 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns over his past three games. The hot finish leaves him just 12 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard campaign heading into Week 17. Although the Broncos will likely end up getting their starters some rest against the Chiefs, it's a number Decker should reach. Finally comfortable with Peyton Manning, Decker will enter 2013 as a high-end WR2.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker (ankle) and Knowshon Moreno (ribs) are both active for Week 16 against the Browns.

Both players popped up on Wednesday's injury report, but got in full weeks of practice. The Broncos enter Week 16 as one of the healthiest teams in the league. CB Tracy Porter is active for the first time since Week 5, but should be a reserve. Inactive for the Broncos are QB Caleb Hanie, WR Andre Caldwell, FB Chris Gronkowski, OG Chris Kuper, DL Sealver Siliga, TE Julius Thomas and CB Tony Carter.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker is listed on the Broncos' Week 16 injury report with an ankle, but is practicing in full.

There's nothing to see here for Decker, who has been red-hot in the fantasy playoffs with a combined 16 receptions for 221 yards and score in his last two games. This weekend he faces a Browns secondary that just got torched by the Redskins' wide receivers, who tallied 238 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker caught eight passes for 133 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' Week 15 win over the Ravens.

Decker was dominant. He came up three inches short of a touchdown in the second quarter when replays showed he stepped out of bounds just before tapping the pylon. Later, he burned Cary Williams on a pretty stutter-and-go move for a 51-yard touchdown. Decker now has 17 catches on 20 targets in the last two weeks and will be a high-upside WR3 against the Browns in Week 16.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker caught eight passes for 88 yards in Denver's Week 14 victory over the Raiders on Thursday night.

Decker's stat line was his best since posting an 8/99/2 line in Week 9 versus the Bengals. He had amassed a total of eight catches in the three games prior. With Demaryius Thomas missing the entire second quarter, Decker was the go-to guy for Peyton Manning. The lone target Decker couldn't bring in was a poorly, off-timed end zone throw. He remains a weekly WR3.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker was held to just 17 yards on two receptions versus the Bucs in Week 13.

He was targeted just twice. It was Jacob Tamme who benefited from Brandon Stokley's absence, and Peyton Manning ignored Decker with Demaryius Thomas in man coverage versus rookie Leonard Johnson. After a few mid-season drops, Decker has failed to top five receptions or 65 yards in a month. He's on pace for a 75/936/11 stat line entering Week 14 at Oakland.
Sun, Dec 2, 2012 07:46:00 PM
Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker caught four passes for 64 yards in Denver's Week 12 win over the Chiefs.

Three of Decker's four catches moved the chains, including twice on third down. However, today was the fifth time in seven games he's been held to four catches or fewer, while he's topped 50 yards receiving only three times since Week 5. Locked in as Peyton Manning's No. 2 target, Decker is liable to go off any given week, but his average line of 4.9/62.3/0.7 makes him a pure, if high-end, WR3.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker hauled in 2-of-5 targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' Week 11 win over the Chargers.

Rotoworld readers asked repeatedly during the game whether Decker was "hurt," but Quentin Jammer simply had tight coverage on him. Decker pleased those same fantasy owners with a second-half touchdown, his eighth of the season. Trot him out as a borderline WR1 when the Broncos face the Chiefs in Week 12.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker caught just two passes for 15 yards on four targets at Carolina in Week 10.

Willis McGahee and Brandon Stokley both saw more targets. The Broncos offense had two drives stall in the red zone and lost two possessions to defense/special teams scores. Decker could have had another 20+ yards but dropped an over-the-shoulder pass down the sideline. Look for a bounce-back game versus the Chargers in Week 11.

Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker (thigh, probable) fully practiced again on Friday.

He'll be all systems go for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Decker has been on such a touchdown tear that he's worth WR1 consideration in Week 10.
Fri, Nov 9, 2012 03:09:00 PM
Eric Decker - WR - Broncos

Eric Decker (thigh) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice.

On pace for a 92/1,166/14 stat line, Decker can tie the franchise for consecutive games with a receiving score with a touchdown at Carolina this week. He's ranked 11th among fantasy receivers this week.
