Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has looked every bit worth the three-year, $15 million deal that lured him away from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Through his first two games with the team, he's averaged seven catches for 92.5 yards but hasn't scored any touchdowns. Playing with quarterback Peyton Manning should continue to work wonders for his numbers.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 3: Emmanuel Sanders is a solid WR2 play
Emmanuel Sanders has been heavily involved in Denver’s offense. Can he keep it up in Week 3?
Justin Edmonds
Fantasy Impact: Sanders should comfortably be started as a WR2 with healthy upside. The largest issue holding Sanders back from WR1 status is the fact that he's third on the receiving totem pole behind Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas. While there are plenty of targets to go around, this really hurts Sanders in the red zone. Demaryius Thomas is 6'3" and Julius Thomas is 6'5", and both are natural red zone threats capable of securing the ball in double coverage. Until Sanders can find his way into the end zone, it's tough see him climbing past WR2 status. Regardless, he should be started in all formats.
