Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is still healing from a hamstring injury, but he’s expected to be a full participant in practice next week, according to beat writer Mike Klis. In his first season with the Broncos last year, Sanders notched a career-high 101 catches for 1,404 yards and nine touchdowns.

Fantasy Impact: While Wes Welker was suspended to start last season, Sanders literally took the ball and ran with it, becoming the team’s default possession receiver. Coaches and players around the NFL always knew that he was a talented receiver, but having Peyton Manning at quarterback took Sanders’ game to a whole new level.
It’s great news, then, that he will be a full participant in practice next week. It’s more than likely that he was just held out to give him additional rest, anyway. Given that Sanders is going to be busy during the season, it goes without saying that he should be high on the list of wide receivers on draft day. There is all the more reason to take him in PPR leagues, of course.
