WR Emmanuel Sanders (RETIRED) (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Faust
- Start date
Wow. Ghost town in here.
I know E. Sanders runs most routes out of the slot. P. Peterson had previously stuck to one side, but I believe he's now shadowing a little.
Anyone have any insight into if PP will follow Sanders? In the slot??
I know if I was AZ, I sure as heck would (since DT is useless).

Unless I'm mistaken, PP doesn't shadow receives that play the slot. This guy is quietly having a great season. He could end the year in the top 15.

Just traded for Mr. Sanders, so excited to be on board the Emmanuel train.
If he gets wide open do you call it “Emmanuel In Space”?
Asking for a fellow 90’s Skinemax friend.

Thomas has back to back weeks with a TD, and Peterson rarely travels inside. I wouldn't be shocked if Peterson just played one side, as you could argue Sutton is the most physically dangerous of the Broncos WR's, and Sanders didn't see him all game.
Sanders is a top-20 WR.

Manny can just kill you in so many ways.
Love having him as my #3 WR, with Tyreek and Davante Adams.

Yahoo just popped up a little notification on their fantasy app moving him to questionable. Is this just a glitch or did he get banged up.
Didnt think status usually changed mid game.

hope the ankle isn't serious.
SOD material here. Especially if DEN's D can play more like that vs. better teams.

Anyone sell him in dynasty lately? If so, what's his value?
I have him in dynasty and think I might try to deal him--I don't think his value will be any higher. Although his ankle injury sounds minor, he has gotten nicked up the past two years and I still think Keenum will get pulled for a Kelly at some point this season. Probably by the fantasy playoffs and we have no idea what kind of rapport they will have.

Just bought him earlier this week in a 12 team .5 PPR. Rebuilding team had him and I’m competing.
I traded Royce Freeman and mid 1st
Received: Emmanuel Sanders and James White

He's fine. He said that he could have continued the game if needed.rickyg said:
Mouth-watering matchup next Week versus the sieve-like Chiefs secondary.

I was able to trade ADP for Sanders after week 1 ... loving life

In redraft, that would suck to see him get traded. He is killing it this year.
Yeah, I don't want him traded, and I don't want Keenum benched. Either could potentially torpedo his value.

I'd hate to see Manny get traded. I'd imagine that it's the Redskins and Cowboys that are most prominent in those trade inquiries, and his numbers would suffer in either situation.
Sanders is proof positive that a really good WR can still thrive with a suspect QB.
beerbuff
Footballguy
Smith and Dak are about the same as Keenum so he could thrive in those places also using your logic.
Yeah, but at a minimum it would take a couple weeks to get up to speed.
Is there any precedent for a WR being traded mid-season and then producing in his new role? I remember Moss went Pats --> Vikings --> Titans a few years ago and his production got worse at each stop. But he was already nearing the end of his career at that point.

Manny's goin nowhere.
DT probably w/ Sutton now. I can see the donkeys moving DT for a corner w/ Roby playing bad (minus AZ)
And DEN is not in a full rebuild. They need a qb like most NFL teams.

If the Colts or Eagles offer a 2nd for Sanders, that would be tough to pass up. The Eagles offered a 2nd for Copper and although he's younger and a former 1st round pick, Sanders is the better player. Maybe the Eagles and Colts make a strong push for him this week? If the Broncos ask for a 1st, I can see the Eagles or Colts opt to send the Broncos a 4th-5th for DT.

I doubt he’d fetch anything more than a 4th rounder considering his 30 and over age.

Manny's not getting traded. Unless DEN gets blown out next sunday. Then all bets are off.
FYI - Listening to VJ's presser and he wasn't listed in the injury / participation disclosure. So he practiced "in full".
think I'm benching him for chubb @ flex. hard to do tho.

Phew. Saw this thread bumped and thought that meant he got traded.

It's not like he's a RB. He's got 5 good years still in the tank if he stays healthy.
Maybe I'm seeing things through rose colored glasses, but I think Denver is a good team. Like a borderline playoff team. They are 3-4, but 3 of those losses were to the Rams, Chiefs, and Ravens, who are are likely playoff teams, and 2 of which are super bowl contenders, and Denver was capable of winning in all 3 of those games. The Jets loss was a bad loss, but almost every non-elite team has one every year.
I don't see Sanders, Thomas, Harris, Roby or anyone else being traded.

Maybe not 3, but AB and Davante are 1 & 2. I didn't draft a rb till round 6. (and took manny in the 5th)
Also have Tyrell in SD. So this is for the flex in a std start 9, 14 teamer (half ppr iirc). I'm concerned about Keenum @ arrowhead, more so with Berry back allegedly. Already playing Lindsay. Maybe it's my CLE homerism.

Denver is going to be throwing the ball. KC is going to score points. The question is if Denver can keep up because they are not slowing the Chiefs down.

Even with Keenum, Sanders has a lot of value as a #2 FF WR.
And he has mouth-watering matchups with San Francisco (Week 14), Cleveland (Week 15) and Oakland (Week 16).
Gotta love fickle FF players. Dude had one bad week, and he's still the WR17 on the season (non-PPR). I'm not sweating it too much.
No idea who plays slot corner for any of those teams, but looking at Yahoo's opponents log:
- SF: Got absolutely torched by Thielen, Tate, Fitz (second game only) and Humphries did pretty well, too (6/54/1). Baldwin held in check (2/22/1), as was Fitz in the first matchup
- CLE: Mixed bag. Juju (does he play mostly in the slot?) got them pretty bad in one game, not much in the second. Boyd went 7/85/1. Sanu, Enunwa and Snead all did OK.
- OAK: Sanders himself went 4/96/0 in Week 2. Baldwin was 6/91. Kupp went 5/52/1, Landry 4/34/1.

I will say that his low output vs Cincy followed him (briefly) showing up on the injury report with a heel injury. Wonder if he was limited by that at all.
IheartGuinness

He's had more than one bad game. In the last five weeks, he's only reached double digits in PPR twice.
At best, IMO Sanders will be a WR3 for ROS.
Immediately after the DT trade Denver drastically reduced Keenum's throws downfield to minimize his turnovers and sacks. That change also allowed for their defense and Phillip Lindsay to take over games.
Keenum has averaged only 184 yds/game passing in the last 3 games...and yet it's no coincidence the Broncos are 3-0...with zero Keenum INT's and only 4 sacks total.
The next 3 games vs. SF/CLE/OAK are very winnable with the same formula.
Great for the Broncos, sucks for Sanders' FF production.

Didn't see the game, but on the Harris Football podcast today he was recapping it and said Sanders got blown up on a pass over the middle early on and was in and out of the game the rest of the way. Anyone else seen that?Buck Bradcanon said:
I always viewed his early-season WR1 production as unsustainable. He's been the primary option on a bad offense all season, and I think he can be a WR2 the rest of the way. That means there will be some down games, but he's still relatively safe. That is a good point linking his decline to Lindsay blowing up.
