Seriously just found out about this guy.

My WR are pretty weak.

Austin, Maclin, Shorts, Blackmon, Cruz, and Mike Williams.

Thinking about rolling with Shorts, Alexander, Cruz.

Three WR league.

Dude has all-pro potential despite the injuries, if he stays healthy he is a WR#1.

Yeah I just don't see how nobody in all three of my leagues picked up on this guy. I looked back and he has had three awesome weeks in a row.

I just dropped him....
Of course my WR are Marshall, Decker
My flex options are Charles, B. Brown, m. Bush, Amendola and Moreno

Alexander isn't starting for me over Decker or Marshall

Decker has been a major disappointment for 3 straight weeks.

Decker still has greater potential than Alexander....

True, but Thomas is Manning's number 1 target, after that he's been spreading it around a lot.

Decker was a beast in the redzone early in the year, but he seems to be getting less targets.

I have Decker, and if they were playing anyone but Tampa, I would consider benching him for Garcon or Alexander on my team.

I agree manning is better than rivers but it's not like rivers cant get the ball to the revivers. Itd be different if it was Fitzgerald where the qb can't throw. Haha. Manning is better than romo, Matt Ryan, Matt stafford & Andy dalton but you'd start receivers from them over decker.

Well yea difference is Megatron, Julio, Roddy, Dez, and AJ are studs taken high up draft boards. I would play them over Decker in a heart beat

Alexander has been a stud since he's been active in San Diego. That's all I'm saying.

Alexander is going to lull playoff bound owners into a sense of comfort. He's a big time risk especially if teams are counting on him to win playoff matchups.

He's only played 3 weeks. There isn't enough to go off of. And rivers always has Floyd and gates there, who he has played with forever. You just don't know

I'm probably starting him, but it's not like I have any other good, consistent options to choose from... Dexter McCluster, Shane Vereen, DeMarco Murray, Mike Williams, Kendall Wright, or Danario Alexander

With me starting Felix Jones & Moreno I'll likely need a boom or bust player anyway; might as well roll with Alexander in that case

Well if he's your only option you're not gonna win anyway

Murray should play this week though

frick him

He sits out more than half the year and makes it back just in time to split the carries for the playoffs.

Yeah playing Alexander burned me last week.... A bad late game time decision because I went with "hot" hand over a player who hadn't started

You have unrealistic expectations if 5 catches for 74 yards burned you from a flex player.

You have a bad team if Alexander is playing anywhere other than a flex spot.
