Based off of Football Outsiders, I'm thinking that Kendall Wright, John Brown, and Eric Decker can have big games. Just want to get people's thoughts on this.

Kendall Wright is playing a Dolphins team ranked last in the league against #1 WR giving up about 100 yards per game and more touchdowns than to any other position. Plus the Dolphins are a mess so the Titans got that going for them.

John Brown is playing a Steelers team that is ranked 30th in the league against #2 WR giving up about 56 yards per game but they allow more TD's to the #2 reciever than any other WR,TE,RB in the passing game. Steelers have the 5th best run defense so the Cardinals will have to throw the ball to win.

Eric Decker is playing a Redskins team ranked 27th against #2 WR giving up about 54 yards per game but more TD's to this position than anyone else in the passing game.

Any thoughts on these guys?

I'm a big fan of Brown this week, and most weeks for that matter. I'm not looking at Kendall Wright though. He has only seen more than 6 targets once, and the Titans offense is uninspiring. Decker is a guy I could see utilized in GPPs though. Steve Smith is the guy I'm thinking will go underowned (if he plays). I'll be playing him in all formats. Good luck this week!

While I like Wright and he has been complaining to get more targets. One note is Brent Grimes will be back for Dolphins and while beatable, he's better than the other CB's they've had on the field contributing to that stat. If Grimes is on Wright that could lower Wright's grade a tick. According to PFF, Mccain will be on Wright and Mccain has a F coverage grade. Grimes has a B grade and is supposed to be covering Hunter. If that stays true, looks like a tasty CB matchup.

John Brown has Blake on him, who also has a F grade.

Decker has Culliver on him, who also has a F grade.

I think it depends on the type of game you're playing, but Brown & Wright probably have most upside and Brown has a more consistent QB. AZ has been putting up some nice offensive numbers.

Looks like you are going in the wright direction with Brown. Like it?

All three are great sleeper plays, and Eric Decker is by far my favorite.

What do you guys think of M. Sanu? Much bigger sleeper and only for GPPs, but on DK I think he is $3,100? Stack him with Dalton and you could get a lot of firepower in the other spots. But he has a low floor obviously and the Red Rocket still makes me a little nervous. I just think the Bills are going to put so much emphasis on covering AJ Green and Jones on the outside, and Eifert in the seams that it leaves Sanu some room to make plays. He played ok last week, not sure how it translated in fantasy. Thoughts? Deep sleeper I know but those are the difference makers sometimes.
