The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Added to an offense that saw Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas catch 65 or more passes from Peyton Manning last season, Latimer doesn't plan to start come September. "I'm here to get on the field, but it's not much of a rush," the rookie WR said. "I can learn from (the veterans) and don't have to get pushed into the system too early."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com notes, the loss of wideout Eric Decker in free agency will be filled early on with a combination of Andre Caldwell and the newly-signed Emmanuel Sanders. Besides, Latimer reportedly will be limited through the start of training camp as he rebounds from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his foot. Despite one post-draft report that Denver's coaching staff expects the former Indiana star to roar back and compete for a starting job "this year," that seems unlikely. But a contributing role in the most prolific passing offense in the NFL? Not unrealistic.
