Eye-Opener

Eddie Royal opened a lot of fantasy football eyes in week one of the 2008 season when he ripped Oakland for 146 yards and a TD while Brandon Marshall served his one-game suspension imposed by Roger Goodell for his litany of assault and DUI charges. Royal continued to play admirably as second fiddle to Marshall after week one and garnered the trust of Jay Cutler who targeted him 129 times. His 91 receptions are the 2nd most by a rookie in NFL history trailing only Anquan Boldin's 101 rookie receptions back in 2004. After last season ended, many fantasy ballers tabbed Royal as a guy to target for value in 2009, but the rug has been pulled from under him with the departure of Cutler and arrival of Kyle Orton.

 

His Game

Eddie Royal ran his 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds so has decent speed. He is no physical specimen standing at 5'10" and 182 pounds. He's got great hands and runs very precise and disciplined routes, and this is why he was able to command attention (and playing time) as a rookie. He is a threat to break off the big play as supported by his TD catches of 93 yards, 59 yards, and 26 yards in 2008. An odd trend to note from his rookie year was his Home vs. Away splits. Check this...

Eddie didn't seem to be comfortable at home.

 

2009 Fantasy Outlook

Let's be careful not to chalk Eddie Royal's impending sophomore slump up to anything more than the organizational changes, Kyle Orton's noodle arm, and his inexperience in a new system.  It should be a long season for Eddie Royal, and it's totally out of his control.

Josh McDaniels is confident that he can coach Orton to success as he claims to have done with Matt Cassel.  Let's not ignore that Cassel studied for three years in that offense before assuming the starting role.  Orton will struggle which means Royal will as well.  He was a #3 fantasy WR in 2008 but will be merely a backup role player in 2009.
