Eddie Royal & Greg Olson

When are these two guys going to start producing?????

Royal is in the Wes Welker role in that Denver offense. He should see a ton more balls but Orton is just not good. Olson was supposed to be Cutler's main guy and Jay does like his TEs but it appears he's focusing more on the deep ball right now.

Both are good buy low guys who you should be able to get more next to nothing.

i dumped royal to pick up steve smith. i also have jenkins on my bench. when deciding which to drop -- because neither has really produced yet -- it came down to keeping the receiver with the better QB

The Bears player 3-4 defenses the first two weeks. His schedule gets easier. Royal, who knows, except that people thought Orton would walk in and put up Cutler numbers.

I think I will hang on to both the guys. I think Olsen still has a chance to put up big numbers and Eddie will start rolling once Orton can find a way to get him the ball.

Not sure what you will get out of Royal vs the Raiders this week. It is easier to replace him than Olsen.

Royal did get 9 balls thrown his way last week, but only produced 3 catches for 20 yards. Some of these balls were not even close to him, but I still feel like he is Orton's favorite target. I definitely wouldn't drop him, but I would keep him on my bench until I see more consistent production. Olsen should still be started in all leagues and will likely be a top 5 TE by the end of the year as long as he and Cutler both stay healthy.
