I think Manning can produce some fantasy value out of the Broncos offense. I play in a 12 team league where we have qb/2rb/2wr/and a flex(rb or wr)/te/k/d. In Indy, Wayne, Collie, Clark, Garcon were all fantasy options for 12 team leagues. Denver matches up very similarly. Decker was a top WR last year with Orton holding better then 6th among all WRs until Tebow came in and stopped throwing to him. Thomas is a big, talented WR and I think Manning hits these guys all day. Manning already has a relationship with Tamme who is on the depth charts atm as the starting TE. Also Dressen is a talented guy too. Prater becomes a kicker with many more attempts. I'd say about a 15% increase on attempts this year. The defense is good enough to turn the ball over enough to keep the offense around. However, I dont personally care for their defense. Flame them if you want. As long as Manning can play all the games, there is much fantasy value to be had here.

In a word 'NO'. Manning is on the downside of his career and there is no Marvin Harrison or Reggie Wayne on this team. I think that the Broncos are in for an uncomfortable time when they realize that..... Manning will have fantasy value but that is about it...

The Wayne/Harrison is a different story then the Wayne/Garcon scenario. Let's keep it compared to that. Manning only was averaging about 2TDs per game with Wayne/Garcon. I think he's still good enough to stand there and toss a 10 yard pass to these guys. Decker was the #1 WR for at least two weeks with Orton last year. With Tebow, Decker fell to about 16th by week 8. Still, a 16th rank WR is a must start in a 12 team fantasy league. There is no doubt in my mind that Thomas and Decker will rank there.
