Sanders had achilles surgery in December and the hope is that he is ready for training camp

Summary

Emmanuel Sanders is currently recovering from the Achilles' injury that cut his 2018 season short and he may not be full strength until the start of the regular season. Sanders was playing like a young man last year before the injury and we have no doubts he could do it again provided that he stays healthy. However, Sanders should have a different role in 2019. He's no longer the Broncos no.1 wide receiver, as Courtland Sutton should emerge as that guy for the Broncos offense. This puts Sanders as a no.2 receiver once again, a role that he clearly has and should thrive in. Sanders has speed and guile as a receiver, and he should become a favorite target for Joe Flacco this season. Sanders isn't afraid to work over the middle and has good run-after-the-catch ability when he secures the rock. The Broncos offense is going to run the ball early and often in 2019, but there's enough there in the passing game for Sanders to be a WR3 with upside for Fantasy GMs this season. (May 6)
