Broncos WR Eric Decker was asked about the improved ground game featuring rookie Montee Ball (Wisconsin) and second-year RB Ronnie Hillman. Decker said, “Well, both guys have done a good job of really learning in the film room. It is translating onto the practice field. That is a big thing too, that learning curve of understanding for them how to play fast and know protections and understand ‘Mike’ calls and whatever else they have to understand. They are working hard, they are getting better and that’s all you can ask for.”

Our View: The Broncos backfield is a bit of a mess right now for fantasy owners. The team would like Ball to be the lead back with Hillman serving as the change of pace back. However, in last week’s OTAs it was Hillman getting the first-team reps. The team also has to decide the fates of both Knowshon Moreno and Willis McGahee. Ball’s current ADP is RB22 (3.11) and that’s a bit high given the uncertain nature of the depth chart right now.

Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker talked positively about the progress of second-year QB Brock Osweiler. “He’s good. He is a guy that will stick his head in the playbook and really just listen and kind of eat whatever Peyton says. It shows too. He is making a lot better reads, he is throwing the ball to the right person, he Is not forcing things and that is progress of a young guy showing that he is getting better and understanding the game and it is slowing down for him, which is huge as a quarterback.”

Our View: All dynasty owners need to take note here. Osweiler is seen as the future of this team and should be ready to take over when Peyton Manning’s playing days are done. He’s big (6’7″), has a rocket arm, and the athleticism to keep plays alive with his feet. If Osweiler hits he has Ben Roethlisberger-like upside. John Elway said before the draft that Osweiler could have been the best QB in this draft class had he come out in 2013 instead of 2012.

Denver Broncos WR Eric Decker said in a press conference today that Peyton Manning’s arm is stronger this year. “I definitely felt like he had more zip on the ball. I think he’s come back stronger, he’s come back with the program that we’ve got-it’s unbelievable the amount of muscle mass and endurance that guys have and the cut-down of injuries that we had last year. I think that’s a compliment to the strength and conditioning staff here and I think Peyton is one of those that took advantage of it and really got himself in good shape and is stronger and healthier this year.”

Our View: This matches an earlier report from minicamp last week by our very own Cecil Lammey. Manning with a stronger arm, better weapons, and an improved ground game will only make him even more dangerous in 2013. This could be a career year for the future Hall of Fame QB.

Oakland Raiders QB Matt Flynn has the support of Raiders FS Charles Woodson. Both players spent time together with the Green Bay Packers.

Our View: That’s awesome but it won’t matter if Flynn can’t beat out Tyler Wilson for the starting job in training camp. Raiders beat writers have all reported that Wilson looks better than Flynn in OTAs. We’ll see if that continues once the pads come on in training camp. Flynn may begin the year as the starter but many believe Wilson could take over before season’s end.

Oakland Raiders FS Charles Woodson said he will try to negotiate for the rights to jersey No. 24. The veteran defensive back showed up for his media session with a blank jersey, noting he was unable to find a number. The No. 24 jersey is currently worn by CB Tracy Porter.
