I like LaFell but I think I'm taking Decker here because Denver will be in a shootout with Houston.. And more then likely the Bronco's will be trailing in this game, so they will abandon the run and Peyton will air it out to Thomas and Decker..
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
In addition to what 87 said, NYG vs. Detroit (edit...oops, Carolina) could end up being another shootout. New York is down their top WR and RB, but that offence seems to chug along even with personnel problems.
With Newton at QB, the Panthers willl move the ball. High scoring opponent + elite QB means La Fell should be your starter. If you're still not convinced....LBs will need to play spy to respect Newton's scrambling ability. Safety help will often gravitate to Steve Smith's side. La Fell will be often dealing with single coverage....even in a zone, the secondary will be more aware of Smith.
Decker is a good option, because you'd think sooner or later a big game is coming. He gets a fair amount of targets and was the favorite of the "experts", but Thomas is a burner. He's more dangerous for defences because of his big-play potential. (I'm far from an expert, but I didn't understand why so many magazines had Decker ahead of Thomas in value.) Though possession receivers often get a ton of looks in the red zone, when Denver gets into the red zone both Tamme and MacGahee are more in the mix than Decker.
I would go with La Fell. Good luck!
