Tennessee Titans 5-7 at Denver Broncos 10-2
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Peyton Manning
#2 Ranked QB
Over 400 passing yards for the third time this season for Mr. Peyton Manning. He might have thrown two INTs but he also threw five TDs. It was another amazing game for Peyton and the Denver Broncos. Tennessee gives up the 4th fewest fantasy points to QBs. The Tennessee Defense started off better than how they have been playing lately. The Broncos should have a good (but not great) game this week, but good enough to start most of them.
Knowshon Moreno
#4 Ranked RB
Moreno was held to just 18 rushing yards against the Chiefs last week, but also added 72 yards receiving. This shows that the Broncos do whatever it takes to get him involved in the offense. Going up against the Titans, who give up the 6th most fantasy points to opposing RBs, Moreno is in for another big game. Must Start.
Demaryius Thomas
#11 Ranked WR
Thomas came away with 106 yards receiving and no TDs. Thomas remains a high-end WR1 and can be trusted moving forward. The Titans give up the fewest points against opposing WRs, but they haven’t faced a team like the Broncos…EVER. Look for D-Thomas to put up good numbers against the Titans.
Wes Welker
#23 Ranked WR
The Broncos WRs scoring pattern isn’t difficult to figure out: the guy that hasn’t been scoring gets a lot of looks. That means that Wes Welker will have a big game against the Titans. Start him with confidence.
Gut Calls
Eric Decker
#17 Ranked WR
Decker owners who had him on the bench last week against the Chiefs probably had a meltdown. But before you rush him back into your lineup, remember you benched him for a reason. Before Sunday Decker’s last game totals were 4.2, 5.2, 7.1 and .5. Those aren’t great numbers. You have to decide if you will get 41.4 point Decker or .5-point Decker. Big risk yet high reward.
Monte Ball
#22 Ranked RB
Ball rushed for 117 yards on 13 carries against a tough Chiefs defense last week. After that performance, Ball is the clear #2 RB in Denver. The fact is, Ball is still a backup to Moreno and should be played knowing the risk involved.
Bench Warmers
Jacob Tamme
Not Ranked TE
With the status of Julius Thomas still unknown, Tamme should not be seen as a good replacement. Get him out of your lineups and pray for Thomas to return quickly.
