 Buy Emmanuel Sanders So Sanders has played about 24% of his snaps from the slot in Denver over the last three seasons, and that's all according to pro football focus, but during the pre-season, that number has jumped to 64%. And that shift could be really big for Manny Sanders here in 2018. Remember last year Adam Theland dominated in Minnesota with Case Keenum while playing in the slot. The Vikings were eighth in the NFL in slot receiving yards in 2017. And now Case Keenum is in Denver. You know Emmanuel Sanders has averaged 8.57 targets per game over the last four seasons, so regardless of where he's lined up in the field, he's going to see volume. But if he's in that slot position, which it seems like he's going to be, he could really thrive in 2018.
