6 Big-Name Players You May Want to Avoid in Week 9

Eric Decker, WR, New York Jets

Decker faces the Chiefs this weekend with the not-so-good Michael Vick starting at quarterback for the Jets. While Vick hasn't been a whole lot worse than Geno Smith, meaning the change in quarterback won't alter Decker's value much, what should be noted is that the Chiefs are really good at defending the pass.

Kansas City ranks fourth in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP this year, and have yet to allow multiple touchdowns from team wide receivers. And if you look at it from an individual wideout level, only Brandon LaFell, Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas have been able to rank as a usable wide receiver against them in PPR leagues this season (top 24 at the position).

Decker will see volume, but that volume hasn't translated to fantasy points this season. He typically needs a touchdown to save his day, and finding that score against Kansas City will be tough, making for a good bench.
