Eddie Royal

Eddie Royal has become a Bronco fan favorite overnight (i.g. after last year's amazing rookie season.) Proof? His facebook page has over 9,200 fans on his facebook (me among them) and 7,181 followers on his twitter! Check 'em out, and fan him. But fans are concerned, his production this year has gone down. Teams now know of his explosiveness, and are doubling him up in coverage, and keeping eyes on him. Should we been concerned for Royal's numbers and impact? Nah, it's week 3 people, and Orton has thrown the ball to many targets, the Broncos are spreading the ball, and defences around. Teams won't always be able to foucus on Royal, and when they don't they'll be burned. Royal is also opening things up for our run game, and helping others get open by drawing coverage. He may not get 100 grabs or 1,000 yards, but he'll have a big affect on the NFL again this year. Watch out Raiders.(Photo, Getty Images)
