WR Eric Decker's stock on the rise-- Wed Apr 18 9:30 pm -- Bronco receiver getting on the same page with Manning
Eric Decker's stock is rising in the eyes of the Denver Broncos and quarterback Peyton Manning. The third-year receiver who struggled at times catching Tim Tebow's erratic throws last season has been hauling in Manning's precise passes for a month now. Manning revealed that the coaching staff wants to expand Decker's role, moving him around to use him in different ways next season, and he had high praise for Decker, saying he's the leader of the receiving corps.

FF Today's Take:While many have speculated that Demaryius Thomas will be the Broncos' receiver to own next season, it could just as well be Decker. The former Golden Gopher has a unique blend of size and athleticism that make him an ideal red zone target. He had eight touchdowns last year and could feasibly improve on that total in 2012.
