running with the starters

Broncos WR Eddie Royal is working as Denver's #2 WR early in training camp.  With the departure of WR Jabar Gaffney, Royal and Eric Decker are left to vie for the starting job opposite Brandon Lloyd.  Royal has the early edge based on experience, but Decker' size and skill-set makes him a better fit on the outside.  Neither guy offers much fantasy upside though.  This Broncos passing game won't be able to sustain much production at the WR position outside of Lloyd.
