So the concern that Eric Decker would eat into Wes Welker’s fantasy production was not an issue in the Broncos first game. Testing out my draft strategy of having two wide receivers on the same team paid off big last night.

WR	Demaryius Thomas, Den WR	Bal	W 49-27	28
WR	Wes Welker, Den WR  P	Bal	W 49-27	16

My wide receivers netted me a total of 44 points between the both of them. The only other teams that could give you this type of production are the Falcons(Julio Jones and Roddy White), the Packers(Nelson, Jones) and to a lesser extent Dallas( Dez Bryant and Miles Austin when healthy). There are a few more you may be able to make a case for, but the Broncos, Falcons, and Packers are the only clear choices where this two wide receiver from the same team strategy would work. It is only week 1, but this is a very promising start. The Ravens defense did get me a negative six points, and even with this monster performance from my receivers I am still projected to loose 102-110.

This is my team
