    I don't know about Decker being your best WR this season but he's definitely worth something with Peyton Manning taking over the offense & Decker having no legitimate threats to his production. Looks like you're in a league that allows a 2nd TE in the Flex spot, that's good! I custom created a league for my buddies & me and I allow RB/WR/TE in the Flex spot. I think that should be the standard for NFL.com leagues but it's not. Anyhow, you're probably doing the right thing. Of course, since you got Arian Foster, I recommend at least thinking about playing Tate with him. There's no doubt that Foster is the main guy & he'll get the bulk of the carries as long as he's healthy but there are some games in which the Texans' run offense is doing so well that there's a lot of overflow from Foster to Tate & you'll find that both RBs get some points. In 1 of my leagues I have both & I'm going to be starting both for a little while & see how that works out for me. Of course, Foster is prone to injuries because they rely on him way too much & the opposing defenses are keen to try & take him out.

    Good luck!

    Bench Maclin and start Decker. HE may damn well be your best receiver this year. I like Romo or Ryan this week. Mathews is out for e first 2-3 weeks, so stash him. Good luck.

    first of all, im optimistic it fairly is a 2 guy league or something lol ok directly to the demanding stuff. i could stay remote from frank gore via fact arizona will probably shrink back early and stress the niners to throw the ball i could additionally stay remote from slaton via fact the jets have a enormously stable protection. kris jenkins is a beast agains the run, and so is bart scott at linebacker. their secondary is positive yet houston is a passing crew with schaub johnson and daniels, so identity pick barber and jackson. dallas could be destroying tampa , so as that they'll run it plenty to kill clock, and barber gets objective line consists of. st louis and seattle, i think of will the two be stronger offensively, even nevertheless it's going to be a radical game, and st louis likes to enable jackson run people over. he gets the ball early and in many cases. the two jointly could internet you approximately a hundred and eighty yards and 3 touchdowns
