I think both will have great years, not sure you could go wrong with either.

Personally, I'd be more comfortable with Decker. I had him last year and he had some huge games with Tebow. It's scary to think of what he could accomplish with Manning at the helm.

who Manning will end up favoring is anyone's guess, but I love thomas' upside. He started to turn it on towards the end of last season.

supposedly Thomas has route running issues but Decker had a knee injury. I'd go Thomas first(4-6), then tamme(10-14), then decker(13-16)....as far as draft order 8 man

don't know

9.05 Eric Decker

ADP has him at mid 9th round, but that's from diehards that are doing mocks in July.

Now mix in the dead money (casual players), I don't see them even remembering his name to be honest.

I see people grabbing S.Moss, Boldin, Wayne, etc before Decker....but ADP in the 9th by Vincent Jackson, Stevie Johnson, Kenny Britt.

Not a shot.

I think they'll be very close in PPR. Non PPR I'd say Thomas does a little better.

sorry are we talking about the same 44 catch in 15 game scrub?

1. we don't know what Manning can do
2. Decker has like only 3 okay games in his career
3. when the last time a caucasian WR over 6'0" has done ANYTHING of note?

Exactly. If he caught 44 balls with Tebow completing 8-12 passes a game, he can definitely catch 60-70 with Manning.

I'm not promising you that he will light it up, but I am promising you that you'll never see him on your roster if you try to wait till the 13th round to draft him, unless you are in a league full of morons.
