Anyone rolling with Eric Decker today? (1 Viewer)

I'm really leaning towards starting Eric Decker over Driver, James Jones, and Brandon Lloyd. Here are my thoughts on him. He saw 7 targets last weekend compared to 13 to Demaryus. You'd have to think they will try to hit Decker deep to keep pace with the Patriots today. They are going to need explosive plays, they just are. I do expect Tebow to have his best passing game of the season today, and why not? The Patriots are a shambles on defense. So if Decker can even hit on one or two deep balls like he has done earlier this season, I think he could have one of those 4-80 and a touchdown type of games.

Driver and James Jones are a crapshoot with the way the Packers spread the ball. Either could see 2 targets while Rodgers exploits other matchups. They are total unknowns.

 
Nope. Tebow owner here, though I'm glad I stuck with Romo as it stands so far. Decker fan too but the last three weeks it's been all Demaryious Thomas.

Past three weeks:

Decker: 17 tgt, 8 rcpt, 1 td, with my league scoring 19.30 pt. #20 for the year but "What have you done for me lately?!!"

Thomas: 21 tgt, 11 rcpt, 3 tds, with my league scoring 47.70. Actually that's over the past two weeks--week before was lost. #5 over this span.

I picked him up and plugged him in over Dez this week. That way got play from both great matchups. :fingers crossed:

 
I'm starting him. Absolute boom or bust option but the matchup is impossible to ignore. Not sure it matters but he hasn't had three straight games under 10 points in PPR all season. If form holds, he should be no worse than a solid WR3 today. Given the matchup I think he has high-end WR2 upside.

 
I think he has a better game than Demaryius, who has benefited from coverage rolling toward Decker and just generally forgetting about him the last 2 weeks. Decker's the better receiver. Right now anyway.

I'm starting him as my #3 behind Austin and Roddy and in front of Driver, Floyd, and Crabtree. This spot was Spiller's, but Murray's injury has forced my hand at RB so I had to throw one of these guys to the fire this week. I'm optimistic :banned:

 
I am rolling out Decker and D. Moore over Damian, Driver, and James Jones in a total gossip. I held onto Decker specifically for this matchup. Gotta roll with him.
