WR Eric Decker can return punts but Broncos want him running 35-40 pass routes a game.

Fantasy Impact: 

According to Pro Football Focus, Decker ran 505 pass routes in 15 games last season, which works out to 33.7 per game. With Kyle Orton under center for the first four games of the season, Decker racked up 20 catches for 270 yards and four TDs. Demaryius Thomas wasn't playing, but Brandon Lloyd was still on the team, so Decker's production with decent QB play (i.e. Orton) is reasonable proof that he has considerable upside now that Peyton Manning is in town. He looks like a good value in the 5th and a great value in the 6th.

The Chiefs have Cassel, Brady Quinn and Ricky Stanzi at quarterback, making it one of the thinnest positions on their roster. Cassel missed the last half of last season because of a broken hand and is still trying to establish himself as a dependable NFL starter. Quinn is a former first-round pick, but the Broncos thought so little of him that he didn’t play in a game in his two seasons in Denver. Stanzi was a fifth-round draft pick last year and didn’t play as a rookie.

Because their roster is so complete, the Chiefs believe they have built a team that can reasonably compete for the AFC West championship for the foreseeable future. If that vision comes true, they won’t be in position again to draft a franchise-type quarterback for years.

All of that makes for a perfect storm when it comes to drafting a quarterback, and the Chiefs appear to be at least examining the possibility. They met with Tannehill at the combine and he said he had a private workout for them last week.

“He has everything you look for,” ESPN analyst Todd McShay said recently. “He belongs in the top 10 and has a chance to be an elite quarterback in the NFL.

The Chiefs haven’t seemed sold on Cassel during the offseason. At the least, they’re giving off mixed signals.

“That consistency … I think that’s the biggest thing with Matt,” Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said. “I think he’s excited about this year, about having Brian Daboll as our offensive coordinator, because he knows Brian and he knows the system Brian brings, and I’ve talked to Matt several times in the offseason and … he’s ready to go to work. He can’t wait for April 16th (start of the Chiefs’ offseason program) to get here so he can start getting into the playbook.

“If he can develop that consistency like we had part of the time in 2010, where we weren’t turning the ball over — we were moving the ball offensively and we were scoring some points — if we can get back to that, that’s what I’m looking for from him.”

The Chiefs started the offseason by saying they intended to find competition for Cassel, then watched as their best possibility for that, Kyle Orton, left as a free-agent for Dallas, where he will back up Tony Romo.

They settled instead for Quinn, but there’s still room for another quarterback, particularly one with Tannehill’s potential.

Chargers sign Eddie Royal to a three-year deal worth $13M

The Chargers continued to give quarterback Philip Rivers more weapons by signing Denver free agent Eddie Royal. He will likely be the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in San Diego, depending on the development of second-year receiver Vincent Brown. He was not in the Broncos’ plans. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that it is a three-year deal worth $13.5 million with $6 million in guaranteed money.

But the Chargers will get good use out of Royal, who also gives them a threat in the punt return game. San Diego missed a spark in the return game last year with the absence of Darren Sproles.

Fantasy Impact: 

Royal made a splash in his rookie year (2008) with 91 catches for 980 yards and five TDs, catching 70.5% of the 129 targets he received from Jay Cutler. After Cutler left, Royal was unable to develop a rapport with Kyle Orton and most recently, Tim Tebow, catching just 115 passes over the next three seasons with a dreadful Rec % of 49.4%. It will be interesting to see how he fares with an upgrade at QB (Philip Rivers), though he's joining a passing game that already features Malcom Floyd, Robert Meachem, Vincent Brown and Antonio Gates, so he may have a tough time getting the necessary targets to make much of a fantasy impact in standard leagues.

Kyle Orton signs three-year deal with Cowboys

Kyle Orton reached a three-year agreement with the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's interesting that Orton didn't sign with a team where he'd have an opportunity to compete for a starting job. He'll back up Tony Romo in one of the most potent passing games in the league.
