Broncos WR Eddie Royal to miss up to 1 month with groin injury
Fantasy owners who picked up Eddie Royal
and plugged him into their week-two lineup, thinking that Kyle Orton would use him more since Brandon Lloyd was inactive, got burned when Royal injured his groin in the early stages of the Denver Broncos' win over the Cincinnati Bengals. According to the Denver Post, Royal will be out for at least two weeks and could be out for as many as four weeks.
Royal had two catches for 18 yards in the game.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Broncos have a bye in week six, so I don't think you'll see Royal on the field before then. WIth him out, Eric Decker
took advantage with a five-catch, 113-yard, two-touchdown outing. Lloyd was a last-minute inactive on Sunday and is expected to play next week against the Tennessee Titans. But for the time being, Decker is someone to add and see what happens.
