Yep, that sounds like Hillman, who averaged over 130 total yards per game in 2011 with 20 total touchdowns while breaking some of Marshall Faulk's records at San Diego State. Hillman isn't a big back (5-foot-9, 200 pounds) but definitely plays bigger than he is. He's done good work between the tackles but is better known for his lateral agility and breakaway speed. Landing in Denver is nice since he won't be stuck behind a young back for long -- Willis McGahee will turn 31 in October and Knowshon Moreno is coming off of a torn ACL. We could see Hillman contribute this season, especially if he can perfect his pass blocking and receiving skills. Expect him to be taken late in all seasonal drafts as well as with a mid-to-late pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a second-round pick in rookie-only formats.

Injury Report
Knee - Probable for start of training camp (Updated - 3/20/12)
Fantasy Analysis
The Post noted that Decker started last year red-hot (30 catches, 359 yards and five touchdowns in seven games) before slowing down (14 catches, 253 yards and 3 scores in his final nine). Much of that can be attributed to the Broncos' pass game being in the hands of Tim Tebow, but it sounds like Decker got worn down as the season went on. By putting on some muscle and improving his endurance, Decker should be ready to play hard for 16 games, which is especially good since Manning is his new quarterback. Fantasy owners should be hyped about Decker's potential this year, making him worth a pick in Rounds 7 or 8 as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver.

Fantasy Analysis
If we're reading between the lines, the Broncos could use Tamme as a tight end, slot receiver and H-back this season, all roles he's capable of playing as evidenced by his time in Indianapolis. Being comfortable with Manning is also built-in thanks to their relationship back in Indiana. Tamme had just 177 yards on 19 catches in 2011 with one score, but he worked behind starter Dallas Clark in a Manning-less Colts offense. In 10 games without Dallas Clark in 2010, Tamme caught 67 passes for 631 yards and four touchdowns. Expect him to have some Clark-like potential and thus get swiped with a middle- to late-round pick in drafts this summer as a borderline No. 1/No. 2 TE.

Fantasy Analysis
After totaling 35 catches for 745 yards (21.3 avg.) and four touchdowns in his final seven games last season (including the playoffs), the sky is the limit for Thomas to have a big third season now that Peyton Manning is his quarterback. Though we expect his receiving average to shrink, he should remain a huge part of the passing game with potential for 70 catches, well over 1,000 yards and a slew of touchdowns -- so long as he can stay healthy. Thomas should be considered a No. 2 Fantasy option with upside. Plan on drafting Thomas in Round 4 or 5 in the majority of leagues.
