Wide Receiver Rank: #65 Overall: #178
Royal improved on his '09 season but still wasn't near the production of his rookie season. He had an up and down year in the Broncos' pass-first offense. Royal was in a rotation at receiver, getting consistent but not off the charts targets. Royal was targeted more than 100 times (105) but caught just 59 passes for 627 yards. In three seasons, Royal averages 62 receptions for 651 yards and three touchdowns per season. Royal is becoming a dependable possession receiver in the Broncos' offense. Royal has top speed and good hands. He makes things happen with the ball in his hands. The Broncos new offense should be run-first for the coming year, which will lead to fewer targets for Royal and all the Broncos' receivers. Royal could be the No. 3 receiver for the Broncos with Brandon Lloyd and Demaryius Thomas serving as the starters.

Royal isn't going to see his numbers improve much in the new offense. He is likely to finish with similar or even lower numbers than this past season. Expect something around 50 catches for 550 yards and a few scores, making him a deep reserve for fantasy teams. |
