E. Sanders

This is from Draftsharks, a fantasy football service, this morning.

** Steelers insider Gerry Dulac tapped the brakes on the Antonio Brown hype train, calling out the preseason darling for inconsistent route-running. "Emmanuel Sanders, who has missed the preseason, is a better route-runner and a more polished receiver than Brown," Dulac writes. We agree 100% and still have Sanders ranked ahead of Brown. The latter is a better bet for early-season production, but Sanders has a better chance to eventually emerge as Pittsburgh's #2 WR.

E Sanders went in the 8th round of my draft last night

I drafted him in the 11th or 12th round of my draft. My receivers are Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, and Emmanuel Sanders. Should be a good receiving year for me. Oh and Gates at Tight End.

How is Sanders' foot/feet? Any word on when he'll return?

I read where they are not optimistic about him being ready for the opener.

Good news for Emmanuel-

** Steelers WR Emmanuel Sanders (foot) practiced on Monday and is expected to play in the team's preseason finale on Thursday. He was originally expected to make his debut in Week 1, so he's ahead of schedule here. WR Antonio Brown is getting all the headlines this preseason, but we still prefer Sanders as a late-round flier. He has a better size-speed combo, and is widely-regarded as the more polished WR.
