Player Spotlight & Fantasy Outlook - Emmanuel Sanders

Height: 5-11   Weight: 180   Age: 31
Born: 3/17/1987 Bellville, TX
College: Southern Methodist
Experience: 9th season
High School: Bellville HS [TX]


The Perception:
As John Elway together with the Denver Broncos human face to take the unpleasant odour of final season’s offensive production, Emmanuel Sanders volition in ane lawsuit again have his chance to larn an extremely high contributor. The cliche is e'er the same when discussing players that’ve had an off-year, suggesting they accept lost a mensuration and/or they aren’t the histrion they in ane lawsuit were. Emmanuel Sanders is floating inward that same territory of give-and-take whenever the Denver Broncos criminal offence is brought upwardly inward conversations alongside colleagues regrading electrical flow yr perceptions. We for ane aren’t buying into that observation together with come across Sanders equally a prime number candidate to rebound inward 2018.

Last flavour was ane of the worst campaigns witnessed for Sanders since his days inward Pittsburgh (2010-2012) where he played a complementary role to Mike Wallace together with Antonio Brown beingness the tertiary or 4th receiving choice on the team. While Sanders has proven his worth many times over since signing alongside the Broncos dorsum inward 2014, to a greater extent than or less volition hold to struggle that his keen statistical performances were inward forthwith correlation inward playing alongside the hereafter hall of famer inward Peyton Manning. Recognizing that it’s impossible to deny that Manning did inward fact elevator Sanders to career highs inward literally every receiving category, Emmanuel was able to add together acceptance to his arts and crafts going over yard yards alongside 79 receptions inward the 2016 flavour post service Peyton Manning, quite the successful yr if y'all enquire me.

Last flavour started alongside keen promise together with finished inward verbalize demise equally the Broncos couldn’t seem to figure out the opposition on a weekly basis. Feeling the effects of underwhelming quarterback play, Emmanuel Sanders was the unfortunate recipient of nearly career depression statistics together with injury inflictions. Over the course of written report of his career, Sanders has remained relatively salubrious missing only xiii contests inward 8 years, iv of which came from final season. With the tribulation that came to pass, Sanders finished the 2017 flavour alongside 47 receptions for 555 yards together with 2 touchdowns inward 12 games played - a far vociferation from keen numbers but 2 seasons removed. Some evaluators volition base of operations their side yesteryear side yr projections exclusively on statistics unfairly devaluing a histrion that withal has adept mightiness to arrive at on the field. Adding to those perceptions, Sanders has e'er fought the declaration of size together with weight beingness an issue, piece adding a potential of injury concerns to his resume doesn’t bode good for the overall termination from the masses. Are nosotros offset to come across a tendency to how Sanders is publicly viewed, exterior of Denver that is.      

The Reality:
As the offseason took shape, John Elway tried his best to recruit Kirk Cousins to the Mile High metropolis using a similar formula when persuading the keen Peyton Manning to bring together the club, this fourth dimension without the same outcome. Perhaps a approving inward disguise came from their unfulfilled pursuit of Cousins, equally the Broncos landed NFL journeyman quarterback Case Keenum to steer the ship at a much lower price. By all accounts nosotros aren’t placing Keenum inward the same conversation equally Cousins for the upcoming season, but the overall skillset that seems to move active inward Case, equally he matures, could larn quite the cope if the squad finds their agency to the post service season. While the Vikings were forced to thin on Keenum when Sam Bradford went down, the Broncos volition accept an entire preparation military camp to install novel systems allowing Sanders together with fellowship to gain chemical scientific discipline aiding inward the correction of final year’s anemic exceed game.

Like whatsoever squad looking to move dominant inward specific facet of the game, Denver’s offensive draw remains their achilles heel, but Keenum along alongside a solid run assault should practise opportunities for Emmanuel to larn opened upwardly via play activeness together with designed receiver enshroud plays which worked to perfection alongside Peyton Manning. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 statistic that gives favor inward projecting potential success for the Broncos comes to cast alongside Case Keenum’s accuracy from final flavour (67.6%). If that grade tin shipping away move replicated or improved upon, Sanders should move able to heighten his grab charge per unit of measurement which stands at a modest 58% career average, only inflating his numbers further. While Emmanuel saw his completion charge per unit of measurement autumn to the lowest levels of his career final season, it’s our arguing that all the blame wasn’t exclusively on his hands (pun intended). Though Sanders has struggled alongside dropped passes from fourth dimension to time, far likewise oftentimes final flavour passes were off target making it extremely hard to catch, dropping his grab charge per unit of measurement inward the process.

Entering his 9th flavour inward the NFL at the ripe historic menstruation of 31 years, Sanders has a keen chance to showcase those productive levels equally no existent indication of speed or acceleration turn down was witnessed. The struggles from a revolving door of quarterbacks (Siemian, Osweiler, together with Lynch) final season, was the obvious determination leaving Sanders inward a dim lite amidst those providing endorsements for the upcoming campaign. ADF volition stand upwardly draw solid inward our belief that Sanders volition honour a agency to overcome dorsum to levels we’ve grown accustomed too.           

The Outlook:
While the Denver Broncos human face to regain the success they’ve had inward yesteryear seasons, Emmanuel Sanders volition accept to move an enormous purpose of bringing them dorsum to life. As the Broncos withal utilize a defense forcefulness that could challenger the best inward the league, that assistance should render ample chance for the criminal offence to larn the ball inward their hands during the course of written report of a game. In the final 5 seasons, Sanders has piled upwardly a whopping 619 targets averaging a real salubrious 123.8 targets per year. It’s extremely clear that final flavour was the anomaly equally spotty quarterback play express this target machine to fewer than 100 targets (92) for the initiative off fourth dimension since 2012. While nosotros reserve the right to adapt our assessment on Case Keenum equally the flavour progresses, there’s aught to advise the Broncos won’t larn dorsum on rails to at to the lowest degree move real competitive inward the upcoming campaign, alongside Sanders beingness a large purpose of that success.


From the fantasy football game perspective, Sanders didn’t generate keen numbers finishing 2017 ranked equally the 60th best broad receiver inward the league inward PPR (Point Per Reception) formats. Emmanuel flora his agency to lower than average tallies garnering 114.5 fantasy points alongside an average of 9.5 points per game, definitely lower than what the expectations usually is. Based on these numbers, the reactive nature of the fantasy community has sunken Emmanuel inward regards to his 2018 ADP (Average Draft Position). Currently, Sanders holds an ADP hovering into the 90’s piece seeing his worst draft choice beingness had into the 130’s, from the exterior looking in, Sanders has larn quite the afterthought. ADF sees the chance for fantastic value for whatsoever fantasy possessor looking to larn a cope piece securing a potential higher goal producer anywhere from the 7th to 10th rounds of your draft. It’s non out of the realm of possibilities to witness Sanders climb dorsum to relevance collecting 65-75 receptions for 1000-1100 yards together with 5-8 touchdowns for the 2018 season. If this prediction indeed follows suit, Sanders could larn the largest value histrion at the receiver seat inward this year’s draft, ADF has no number endorsing Sanders at his electrical flow ADP.
