Emmanuel Sanders rounds out my list at number one for one simple reason, Peyton Manning.
Sanders is looking to replace the production Eric Decker put up (87 receptions, 1,288 yards, 11 touchdowns) from Manning’s fourth receiving option.

With the emergence of Julius Thomas, and the addition of Wes Welker last season, Decker quickly took the backseat but still managed double digit TD’s and over 1,000 yards receiving.h
There is little to no reason to think anything less from Sanders. The only thing that will slow him down is how quickly he gains chemistry with Manning.
Sanders posses good speed, quality route running, decent hands, and the ability to stretch the field. Though he isn’t number one on their depth chart, you know he will have his games where he catches double digit receptions for 100 or so yards and a couple of scores.
Emannuel Sanders is the definition of sleeper in 2014 and has potential to be a top 20 receiver that’s taken somewhere in the 50-60th range of your draft.
