Yes, depth at wide reciever. I could probably make a book out of the names of players that were never drafted or never looked at in general who have made a team and excelled, just because they were not top draft picks doesn't mean they are not considered good recievers now, which gives them, yes. Depth.
He had a decent, DECENT regular season but his division title came in the last week over a Jacksonville team in a pretty weak division. His stats look better than what his performance shows, as he had a healthy amount of multi TD games on weaker teams at the beginning of the season and most of his later interceptions came at bad times, late in the game when he wasn't throwing TDs to balance it out. He could have been better this year and he could have done better tonight.
I'm not pointing the finger solely at him, however, management has felt that they can skip by on his passes and shoulders while failing to address the run game, lb or cb position

Blair White is not depth. Blair White is not a strong wide receiver and struggled a ton this year. Anthony Gonzalez, Austin Collie, that's depth.
Peyton had a DECENT year by his own standards, 3/4's of the QB's in this league would kill for that kind've decent year. He did not have a great game either tonight, but he also lead this team down for a winning field goal with 50 seconds left.
But your point of him losing a step and Reggie Wayne?!?!?! because of his performance tonight against the NFL's best cornerback. A guy who just came of a 1,400 yard season?! Who had to pretty much create everything by himself with how much defense's keyed on him with so many injury's.
Your assessment is right in a lot of ways, but I can guarantee you the entire NFL and Rex Ryan would beg to differ that Reggie Wayne and Peyton Manning have lost a step.
