Eric Decker or Marques Colston?

[006]

Who would you start?

 

[TREFF]

Colston..without a doubt in my mind

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Colston if he's healthy. Decker gonna be 3rd in the pecking order.

 

[006]

agreed, thanks.

Colston.

I like him but he's frustrating to own (had many times over the years). He's one of those guys who's season numbers are misleading. He's got good numbers but its a mixed back of a handful of really freaking great game and then weeks of absolute shit. Just be prepared to pull your hair out with him

I had Decker last season and he didnt rack up much yards but he made up for it with TDs.

Colston.

IN that spirit..if theres a week where we should be able to bank on numbers, it's this week vs the Falcons..if that game isn't a shootout, that's when you start questioning the meaning of life.

 

[The Foot]

Colston too

I agree. Colston can be frustrating, but week 1 against their divisional rivals and shootout competitors should be productive.

Otherwise I'd be all over Decker to start over Colston. All this target loss talk is just getting silly now.

Just to let you know though, last season I BENCHED Decker vs the Ravens in week 15, he put up 18 points, and I had to watch my lineup score the most points (in our league) in championship week the next week.... playing for 3rd because I lost in the semis. (and would have won if Decker was in there). Decker is good, very good, even made Tim Tebow look serviceable.

At the flex position I'm leaning between Eric Decker or Ahmad Bradshaw. Bradshaw is expected to play some, especially in goal line situations and it's against the Raiders. Who would you take.

 

[TKOSpikes]

as a Bradshaw owner in my two most important leagues (money league, MBBRL), I will refrain from answering.

 

[wilwhite]

Bradshaw would be a great start if we knew they'd let him shoulder the load, but new team + missed pre-season + adequate backup who knows the system + "we'll work him in there" = iffy fantasy start for Week 1, but a tasty matchup.

On the other hand Decker's value will depend on how defenses play and adjust - if he's not well covered he'll get his targets; if he is, Peyton has other outstanding options. There should be some weeks Decker will almost disappear, others where he'll explode (much like Colston).

I'd go with Decker this week, but it's close.

 

[SFNL]

I'd definitely stick with Colston till you get a feel for what the Broncos are gonna do. They got a lot of moufs to feed.
