Week 9 Start Em Sit Em: Bench Tim Tebow, Eric Decker and More Overrated Broncos

Denver Broncos skill position players are a stay-away this week in fantasy football.

The team simply isn’t good and has a rough schedule over the next few weeks and therefore they simply aren’t worth risking for fantasy purposes.

They have to play two division rivals in a row, starting with the 4-3 Oakland Raiders who are still very much alive in the AFC West race. They then have the Jets

Let’s take a look at some players who you may have and aren’t worth starting on your fantasy roster.

Tim Tebow

He has had one good quarter and overtime under his belt this season. Tebow isn’t worth a fantasy play until he proves he can be more consistent.

The Broncos were stomped out by a competitive Lions team and will be up against a hungry Raiders team ready to dominate and reclaim the AFC West lead.

Eric Decker

While he scored a touchdown in the definition of ‘garbage time’ last week, he’s not worthy of occupying a starting spot this week.

The Raiders have a relatively weak secondary but they are going to game plan to make Tebow throw quickly, something he isn’t great at doing.

Decker was a great option with Orton at QB but having an inconsistent signal caller has sunk his value.

Knowshon Moreno

If Willis McGahee is back this week, Moreno goes back to his third-down role and will see a very limited number of touches.

McGahee is coming off a hand surgery and has returned to practice in just eight days. If he fully practices on Wednesday that is a great sign that he will be ready to go on Sunday.

Demaryius Thomas

This inconsistent receiver got his first snaps in the Dolphins game and contributed on the game-tying and winning drives.

However, he has not lived up to his first-round pedigree, much like Tebow, and is as shaky as they come at the WR position. Do not bother with him in fantasy.
