11. Emmanuel Sanders, Pittsburgh Steelers

Emmanuel Sanders had a monster season in his first year with the Broncos. Sanders even made the Pro Bowl. Sanders was always a good receiver but he emerged as a star in the Denver offense. In 2013 Sanders played with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He caught 67 passes and 6 touchdowns. He had 740 yards. In 2014 his numbers increased in a huge way. Sanders had 9 touchdowns and 101 catches. However his biggest numbers jump was his yardage spike. Sanders had 1404 yards. It was 664 yard increase.

Sanders also played 6 more games in 2014. It was the first time he played a full season. Sanders was used in both the slot and the outside. He had a great chemistry with Peyton Manning and proved to be a perfect replacement for Eric Decker. Manning announced that he would be returning for yet another season. It is great news for Sanders who is a perfect fit in Peyton Manning’s offense.

Sanders will enter his second year in a great offense. The Broncos lost Julius Thomas so perhaps their will be even more targets to go around. Sanders will be the number two option in the Manning led offense. Demaryius Thomas is the teams biggest weapon. Thomas draws so much attention that Sanders is the guy who reaps all of the benefits. The Broncos are another team that loves to throw and Sanders will have another huge year.
