Description: Chargers wideout Eddie Royal is active for Week 10 against Tampa Bay. | Insight: Royal has yet to post more than 31 yards or three catches in a game this season. At this point, fantasy owners have to let him sit on the bench until he proves worthy of a starting spot. | | |

Description: Chargers wideout Eddie Royal was not at practice due to personal reasons. | Insight: Royal was a fantasy non-factor last year with a career-low 19 receptions and only 155 receiving yards. He's got a much better quarterback for 2012 in Philip Rivers, but will probably need an injury to Robert Meachem to be a fantasy starter. The latest knee problem suffered by Meachem at practice on Wednesday doesn't appear too serious. | | |

Description: Eddie Royal has inked a three-year, $13.5 million deal with the Chargers. | Insight: Royal was useless in Denver last season, finishing with a career-low 19 receptions and only 155 receiving yards. He didn't have the most accurate quarterback in the world throwing to him and he was hurt for a stretch, so we'll cut Royal a little slack. His stats should improve in 2012 but he's still behind Robert Meachem and Malcolm Floyd on San Diego's depth chart. | | |

Description: Eddie Royal is expected to miss 2-4 weeks after straining his groin in the Broncos' Week 2 win over the Bengals.
Source: Denver Post | Insight: I think the Broncos and Raiders have a bet on who can have the most injuries to wide receivers this year. The reason for the length probably has to due with the type of injury and its lingering effects. Eric Decker should be at the top of your waiver wire rankings this week. It's safe to drop Royal. | | |

Description: The Broncos confirmed Monday that Eddie Royal is recovering from an offseason hip procedure. | Insight: The team is looking for Royal to return for OTAs in May, but CBS 4 in Denver believes it will be about 6 months. It appears as if the procedure was major and could have the potential to affect his availability for the start of training camp. (RapidDraft.com) | | |

Description: It's been confirmed by the Broncos that WR Eddie Royal is currently recovering from offseason hip surgery.
SOURCE: ESPN.COM | Insight: It's being speculated that Royal could miss up to six months, which would put his status for the start of training camp in jeopardy. This could pave the way for Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker to see even more time with the first-team offense if the offseason goes as planned. | | |

Description: Per Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post, Broncos WR Eddie Royal is active against the Chargers. | Insight: Despite missing one last practice last week, Royal reportedly looked good in pre-game warmups. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 10/31/2010 7:03:00 PM |
Description: Eddie Royal caught four passes for 34 yards in the Broncos loss to the 49ers in week 8. | Insight: Royal also returned four punts for 31 yards, so his groin wasn't an issue today. He's on pace for a 900 yard season, so he remains a reasonable option in many fantasy formats. However, keep in mind that he's only had 13 catches in the last four games. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 10/29/2010 3:03:00 PM |
Description: According to Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post, Broncos WR Eddie Royal is listed as probable after practicing Friday. | Insight: Royal was a full participant Friday after seeing his reps incrementally increase throughout the week. It appears the weather will be poor in London, so there's not much upside to him this week. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 10/27/2010 11:01:00 AM |
Description: The Broncos held WR Eddie Royal (groin) out of Tuesday's practice.
SOURCE: DENVER POST | Insight: Royal aggravated the injury against the Raiders, which resulted in him catching just two passes. He is not a fantasy option until he is healthy. | | |
| 10/24/2010 3:32:00 PM |
Description: Broncos WR Eddie Royal (groin) is active against the Raiders. | Insight: We would still be surprised to see Royal have a big impact after being limited in practice all week. | | |
| 10/22/2010 3:04:00 PM |
Description: Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post reports that Broncos WR Eddie Royal returned to practice on Friday. | Insight: It was only a light workout, so it doesn't really say much about his availability for Sunday's contest against the Raiders. If possible, fantasy owners should pick up Demaryius Thomas for insurance. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 10/21/2010 2:03:00 PM |
Description: Eddie Royal (groin) was held out of Thursday's practice, Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post reports via Twitter. | Insight: It doesn't appear as if Royal will go in week 7, increasing the value of both Jabar Gaffney and Demaryius Thomas. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 10/21/2010 1:10:00 PM |
Description: Broncos WR Eddie Royal (groin) sat out of practice again Thursday.
SOURCE: TWITTER | Insight: Royal is looking more doubtful right now. Demaryius Thomas will see an increased role if Royal has to sit against the Raiders, but not enough to make him fantasy worthy. | | |
| 10/20/2010 3:03:00 PM |
Description: Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post reports that Eddie Royal (groin) was held out of Wednesday's practice. | Insight: Coach Josh McDaniels hasn't offered up much information as to the extent of Royal's injury, only that "he hasn't been ruled out" for week 7. The 20th overall fantasy receiver will likely be listed as questionable. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 10/19/2010 3:05:00 PM |
Description: Coach Josh McDaniels indicated Monday that he didn't know the extent of Eddie Royal's groin injury, the Denver Post reports. | Insight: Royal left Sunday's game against the Jets in the 3rd quarter and didn't return. It's not yet known if Royal will practice at all this week, so owners might be better served trying to pick up Demaryius Thomas off the waiver wire. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
| 10/19/2010 2:02:00 AM |
Description: Broncos WR Eddie Royal left Sunday's Week 6 game vs. the Jets in the third quarter and HC Josh McDaniels told reporters Monday that he wasn't exactly sure the extent of the injury. | Insight: McDaniels declined to speculate whether or not Royal would practice this week, but chances are, from his tone, he might miss Week 7. As we wait for the official Wednesday injury report, you might consider either adding Demaryius Thomas or trading for Jabar Gaffney. Chances are no one is giving up Lloyd right now. | | |
| 10/12/2010 3:05:00 PM |
Description: The Denver Post reports that Eddie Royal could go back to kickoff/punt return duties soon. | Insight: Coach Josh McDaniels held Royal out of returning duties in order to keep his receiver fresh, but with the dropping problems Perrish Cox has experienced and the possible concussion suffered by Demariyus Thomas, the Broncos may not have that luxury. Keep an eye on Royal for return-yardage leagues. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
