Week 13 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Eric Decker and Others to Start

Because you're likely battling for playoff positions and/or desperate for a late-season triumph to get into your fantasy football league's postseason, never has the decision to start or sit your players been more important. 

These are the guys you must start on Sunday in fantasy crunch time. 

As usual, we're going to leave out the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Calvin Johnson and other obvious names. 

LeGarrette Blount, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. Carolina Panthers)

Blount has back-to-back 100-yard rushing games. On top of that, he even has four receptions for 64 yards in his last two. 

The Panthers run defense has been bad all season, and they haven't shown any improvement as the year has gone on. 

Donald Brown and the Colts ran for 105 yards at 4.5 yards per carry last week, while the Lions ran for 169 yards the week before. 

This is a dream matchup for Blount, who should be in for another huge day. 

A definite "must-start."

Scott Chandler, Buffalo Bills (vs. Tennessee Titans)

Because Stevie Johnson had his way against Darrelle Revis last week, it's possible that the Titans will do whatever they can do to shut him out of the Bills offense. 

Although Chandler is not the speedy, ultra-athletic tight end we're seeing in today's NFL, he's got reliable hands and Ryan Fitzpatrick looks for him often, especially in the red zone.

He has 13 targets and 11 receptions in the Bills' last two games and Buffalo has been more successful when Chandler is involved with the offense.

In a PPR league, Chandler is an underrated guy and should have between four and seven catches this week.

Eric Decker, Denver Broncos (vs. Minnesota Vikings) 

It's hard to start any Broncos pass-catcher nowadays. However, if you're willing to start anybody, it's got to be Eric Decker. 

This week, against the Vikings, he could be in for one of his bigger games of the season.

Minnesota allows less than 100 yards a game on the ground and their secondary surrenders nearly 260 passing yards per game.

I don't have much faith in Tebow to consistently chuck the ball over the field. However, if there's a time for him to find his receivers often, it's this week against Minnesota.
