detlef Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 This week his total score was 0.00 And I'm pretty sure this was the first time in the history of FF that a guy who ranks high enough among WRs to warrant a starting spot laid a goose egg (or at least close to it).

No it wasn't, you may have noticed that DHB did the same thing last week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Rugby Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 And I'm pretty sure this was the first time in the history of FF that a guy who ranks high enough among WRs to warrant a starting spot laid a goose egg (or at least close to it). I get your point. He got a majoity of the points in 1 game vs the Lions. The other 5 games, very limited targets. He did the best with what he had to work with by reaching the enzone in 2 of them. My concern with him is the targets. Here is the breakdown while JesuTebow has been QB Week 5 2 for -4 with 5 targets Week 7 2 for 21 with 3 targets Week 8 6 for 72/1 TD with 12 targets Week 9 3 for 47/1 TD with 5 targets Week 10 1 for 56/1 TD with 3 targets Week 11 0 for 0 with 5 targets IMO I would not drop him. Denver needs to find a way to throw him the ball. But hard to trust at a vital time in the year when Tebow throws his way 5 times. Looking at the remianing schedule, not too many offenses that will light up Denver and make them play from behind (maybe NE in week 15) like they did with the Lions.

the3technique Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 what was I thinking starting Decker thursday night?!?! A nice big goose egg!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 This week his total score was 0.00 In non-PPR leagues, that's exactly .6 pts less than Greg Jennings delivered this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedingGreen Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) And I'm pretty sure this was the first time in the history of FF that a guy who ranks high enough among WRs to warrant a starting spot laid a goose egg (or at least close to it). http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=291213017 December 13, 2009. The day I both outscored Randy Moss and got knocked out of the playoffs. 1 catch for 16 yards , -2 pts for a fumble = -0.4 pts. I struggled with dropping Decker or Crabtree last week when I pulled Nicks off my IR. I went with Decker. I will attempting to reverse that tomorrow night. That or I may grab Santana Moss in case I make the playoffs and he comes back against NWE or NYG. Decker is SO hit or miss, unless you're in some crazy league where you have to start 4 WR, I can't see how you wouldn't have better options. You're really relying on that one breakaway 50 yard TD at this point. Edited November 21, 2011 by BleedingGreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really relying on that one breakaway 50 yard TD at this point. Unless you manage to grab one of the 20 or so players who has outscored Decker over the course of the year, and even over the last month (which you should, by all means, do except that they're all guys who were drafted and kept), you realize that you're willingly leaving points on the table? You're turning down an average of 10-11 pts per week (that, granted, does include some stinkers) for less points, just so that your floor is higher? And, again, I can sort of see doing this at the upper end of the spectrum where you need to count on a minimum of decent points from your studs. Of course, I'm guessing those who drafted Greg Jennings might have issue with his total from this week. But, from a marginal starter, which Decker should be, why does that matter so much? And are we certain that there's 30 WRs out there who are more consistent than he is? He's not money, but in my .5PPR league he's been good for at least decent numbers (better than 8pts) 7 of the 10 weeks he's played this year. Compare that to V Jax, who's failed to score 5 FF pts in that format 4 times and has only broken 10pts 4 times. Now, I'm not implying for one second that Decker should be as coveted as V Jax and certainly doesn't have the upside. However, if you look at the 10-15 guys who rank just behind Decker, the guys who I'm assuming you guys are saying should be picked up and started in his place, you're going to see either less consistent production less upside, or both from all of them. Even over the last 4 weeks, which should be the most important stretch given the QB change and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF4 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 He has been more consistent than Stevie Johnson who some consider a stud. Left on my bench this week thx to the S/B list.

detlef Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 And still no love for Decker from J2V. Ranked #15 after week 12 and with the 5th easiest schedule for WRs down the stretch, and you've got him ranked #36 for the rest of the season?

Coaches love to play on that "going home" angle for a player and try to get them the ball a lot. Vikings might be in about as bad of shape as my Rams, IMHO.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I might start him over Colston or DeSean Jackson this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
