I took him in the second round this weekend and I immediately hated it after I put the sticker up.

Dude has two ACL's and is 30 years old.

It was a keeper league (PPR) and RB's were flying off the shelf and I got pressed into a RB run.

People who drafted him, what do you like about the pick?

What kind of stats do you foresee?

Dude used to be great, but my gut says it was a bad pick.

At a second round price, you can do better elsewhere. I have him in one of my leagues but he fell to the 4th round.

I'm nervous and not expecting much.

You gotta take him in the 4th round IMO.

I'm definitely worried. But I believe he still has plenty in the tank and will have a solid season. But I sure as hell picked up Spencer Ware for insurance

I think he has plenty left in the tank. I know he has had the two knee injuries. If u add up Adrian Peterson's career touches and then do the same with Charles. The difference will amaze u. AP has 1000 more touches in his career than Charles. I think this helps him play deeper in his career.

I respect your opinion a lot. Could you explain this one to me? Since 2011 hasn't he been the most consistent WR in fantasy?

I took him Rd 3 of my PPR league as my RB2. He won me the title 3? years ago but hasn't done much since. I'm worried.
Ware went undrafted... is he the number 2 or is it West? Either one is going to be hot on the waivers if Charles goes down, so ideally I'd pick up the #2 now, but don't have room for both..

What value do you put on these 2? I have been seeing both dropping until the 8-10 range.

I'm not worried much at all about him. Great second round pick

I think it's a good pick if you play it right. If he comes out the gate playing well, I would trade him High and let that be someone else's problem. There are always a few players in every league that will jump on a big name that is playing well; and a few that are always skeptical about "unknowns" that are trending up.

My thing with decker is at his current draft spot (anywhere from WR20-25), I'm looking to take a chance on a 2nd WR that could potentially yield me WR 1 numbers and I don't think he offers me that. Ideally I'd take him as a WR3, safety blanket/flex play type.

I realize Decker has been good at finding the end zone historically, but I think he is more in line for a 7-8 TD season than another 12-13 TD season.

Golden Tate, moncrief, Marvin jones, Jordan Matthews, Michael Floyd, John brown are all going after him and are all guys I'd rather gamble on.

Nice list, why no Benjamin?

I avoided Watkins and Alshon this year

Took him in second round and I feel fine about it. I would feel worse about having Foster than Jamaal at RB.
