I'm done with Denver receivers and the Washington backfield

The funny thing is, I started Eric Decker in Miami under the belief that the Dolphins weak defense would allow Tim Tebow to hook up with Decker for a few vital plays. And that did not happen. Instead, Tebow appeared to like Demaryius Thomas over Decker.

So, did I buy the 10 target hype and start Thomas?

I actually did not.

And I cut Decker as well.

I did monitor the Denver-Detroit game, and I'm glad I didn't start Thomas. Now Tebow is hitting Decker. I'm starting to realize with Tebow, he may in fact have a Receiver-of-the-Week theme in his playbook. I believe Matt Willis was the leading receiving last week. He goes to Fells and Thomas in the end zone, now it's Decker. Sorry to say, but in fantasy football terms, I miss Kyle Orton. At least there was some form of consistency.

Therefore, I'm not going to play Tebow's game. I'm done with Decker and Thomas and pretty much anyone else in Denver. I only started Tebow in one league because I had no other choice. Somehow, I'm still on the verge of winning that league, no thanks to Tebow. I have him in 2 other leagues and I ended up going with Eli Manning and Philip Rivers over him. We'll see how the latter pans out on Monday Night Football.

As for the Washington backfield, I'm not really sure what to say.

Did the Buffalo run defense finally come alive?

Is Ryan Torain overrated?

Are the Skins in general a bad team?

I can provide my own answers.

Buffalo run defense...quite possibly.

Is Torain overrated? Honestly, his breakout game came against the Rams. The Rams almost make any running back look good. Since then, nothing. Then again, with Shanahan doing the running back-by-committee plan, there really isn't enough time to figure out if the running back should be Torain or Roy Helu. I wouldn't be surprised if Helu gets more carries next week. Then again, Evan Royster really impressed me during the preseason, maybe its time to activate him and see if he is the running back to go with in 2012.

And as for the Redskins being a bad team...I believe so. It's a shame because I do like John Beck and he clearly doesn't have the weapons around him to turn the season around. With Santana Moss out for a majority of the season and Jabar Gaffney doesn't appear to be a great replacement, I would expect Fred Davis to take over as leading receiver and make a case in becoming full time starter in 2012. The Skins also need a consistent back, and I believe it's Royster, who is just sitting on the practice squad.

I doubt if Grossman or Beck will still be in Washington come next year. Perhaps Beck can find work in another system, like Seattle if Tarvaris Jackson doesn't pan out.

And to finish my thoughts on Denver, I honestly don't place all the blame on Tim Tebow for this week's blowout loss. Willis McGahee is out, and Knowshown Moreno clearly is not starter quality and I didn't get to see enough of Lance Ball to see if he could be a temporary answer until McGahee returns. It'd also help if Tebow had a better offensive line so that he could get the ball to Decker, Thomas, Fells and Royal. Losing Brandon Lloyd didn't help, unless John Elway is purposely steering the Broncos towards a high draft pick. There is speculation he sees Andrew Luck as a younger version of himself and envisions Luck as the man to restore glory in Denver.
