I believe it since I started Decker over Lloyd last week. But I think Lloyd is the winner this week. Just a hunch. He was begging the coach for more targets this past week and I bet he gets them. But if it doesn't happen for Lloyd this week he's going to become bench-able in a hurry. I still like Decker's chances, but it'll be a tough one to figure out unless a trend develops soon.
Going back to the last 8 games of last season and the 2 he's played this year, Lloyd now has one (1) hundred yard game in his last ten starts. Is that a trend?Possible Trends for Decker:
That's a bit "pick and choose" for me, since he still finished last year as the top WR.He had two down weeks, though they were crucial for FF playoffs (weeks 13 & 14).And while I think some trends can span seasons, the Broncos are different this year, so I'm still on the "wait and see this THIS year" side.
Interesting that woodson is being phased out as a lock down corner. Certainly could play the role last year...
fixed. Better he doesn't get killed on returns and save it for the field,Not since Week 1, haven't heard anything lately.
I did last week, but that had more to do with Lloyd easing back into his role/a reaggravation of injury etc. I see FBG's see Lloyd as a better start, but I'm not sure yet...
4 of the games in your sample size were with Tebow starting at QB, but he still performed.Plus a new head coach this year. Too many variables.
Congrats on convincing yourself. I wasn't implying anything, or extrapolating, or explaining away, or rationalizing. I was stating - flatly - that he has had one hundred yard game in the last ten. That seems to contrast with having five hundred yard games in the first eight contests of 2010. But apparently, that's only true if you want it to be.
Not to hijack, but Ive seen more of David Nelson than Decker at this point, and he is the real deal too'BobbyLayne said:
[MeanderingOffTopic]Agreed - caught my eye last year (6'5" receivers are always intriguing), and in the two Bills games I've watched he's been impressive. I was going to bench him based on the matchup, Cincy is giving up the fewest FF points to WRs in PPR format. HOWEVER - I just realized they have faced two below average receiving corps plus Denver without Lloyd. Figure Hall is on Stevie, Clements on Donald Jones, nickel back Gabril Wilson **MATCHUP ALERT** HOLY CRAP GET NELSON IN YOUR LINEUP. I just realized the Bungles signed Wilson; thought for sure that chump was out of the league.
I'm starting Nelson too. Decker got 5/113/2 against the Bengals. Strength of Schedule means crap after only 3 games (not enough data).
I intended to swap out Wayne for Nelson, but decided - no logic - I wanted a MNF guy going. Not a good day for Bills WR from my first glance (been out all day, NFL free day). Decker is saving my week, and leaving Wayne in was almost surely the right move. Logically I thought Nelson out of the slot would toast Gabril Wilson.We can ovethink this stuff a lot (and it's fun to do exactly that), but comes down to a fair amount of luck every most weeks.
I'm a realistic Packers homer who hasn't missed a Packers game since the start of DTV Sunday ticket. And it was no confusion. The Packers pass d is average at best. Especially without Nick Collins. Confused?
Sorry to hijack, but your WR's on your dynasty team are sick. How on earth did you manage to get Calvin, Fitz, AJ, and Roddy? 4 of the consensus top 5 dynasty WR's on your team? That's insane.
The way FBG was pumping him this week, its understandable. I was so sold on Moore, I offered McGahee, Decker and Owen Daniels for Moore and Aaron Hernandez. Guy didn't respond by gametime, so I pulled it....phew! Right now he's got elite target upside combined with very good RZ targets and high YPC. I've got Wallace, Harvin, Moss, Green, Decker and Nelson on my team. Decker is showing the weekly floor of Moss, Nelson and Harvin with the upside of Green. I'm with you.....he's my WR2 until I see multiple letdowns. He's the Bizzaro-Ingram on my team right now.
I was more impressed with faulkfan's WR corps on the next post:Megatron, AJ, Nicks, Fitz, VJax
Ha, good call. Didn't even see that one. Embarrassment of riches.I was more impressed with faulkfan's WR corps on the next post:Megatron, AJ, Nicks, Fitz, VJax
I'm not so sure it happens at any point regardless of record. John Fox is a stubborn man. That and I'm not sure he's even the number 2 quarterback. Tebow, in my opinion won't be given a chance.
Yes, the end is for Decker, and all your base are belong to Tebow.
He can't be any worse than Orton.This is a passing league and Denver has no RB worth a damn.
Tebow can't throw.
Tebow was 4 of 10 for 79, with the best reception to Moreno and an unnecessarily great catch by Lloyd. Downgrade all Broncos. They'll score fewer TDs and of those TDs...Tebow will keep more of them for himself.
The Broncos averaged 20.6 points per game with Orton and 25 with Tebow last year. I don't know how many touchdowns but your conclusion that the Broncos will score less touchdowns in unfounded
He might not be worse than Orton fantasy wise, but IMO Tebow will kill Decker's value. Im going to shop him this week.And I dont understand how you can say DEN doesnt have a RB worth a damn when McGahee has put up 100yds rushing in 3 of his last 4 games.
That stat is helpful despite the kickoff return(s) (I remember at least some in those last three games) and we'll put aside the fact that he faced the Texans historically awful defense since he faced the Chargers and Raiders in the other weeks.But saying a prediction is unfounded is simply an incorrect statement. I have reasons for that prediction that have nothing to do with their PPG late last year. So I say they finish 15th-25th in offensive TDs per game going forward? You put them ahead of that? Really?
Tebow actually throws a good deep ball because he buys time. I think his problems are over the middle, not down the field.'Tango said:
You got a ZERO from him?!? Lucky you....in my league he scored a -0.3I'm not happy with the Decker 0. Figures it comes the first time I actually put him in my lineup.
I don't think buying time makes him a good deep ball thrower cuz his delivery is so chaotic and random that the WRs aren't sure when the ball will be thrown. If you saw the hail mary, DEN WRs were surprised when the ball was released and that delay meant that none could get into good position. Lloyd said in pre-season that a delivery like his means that not only doesn't he know when the ball is coming, but also "how". In addition, he also said that it's frustrating to WRs who aren't the primary as you know that the lack of progression reading means that secondary targets take a back seat to tebow running.
This all makes sense
Not since Week 1, haven't heard anything lately.
