New York Jets

Brandon Marshall/Eric Decker (Wide Receivers): The Cowboys have surprisingly given up the 4th fewest points to wide receivers however they get a true test as they face Brandon Marshall's monstrous levels of production. Marshall has a 6 week touchdown streak going and has 3 straight 100 plus yard games. Marshall has seen 10 plus targets for the past 5 weeks and his production does not seem to be slowing down any time soon. Decker on the other hand had a touchdown catch last week as well and has seen 2 straight weeks of double digit targets.

Chris Ivory (Running Back):  Ivory had 100 plus rushing yards last week and Dallas on average allows 113.8 rushing yards per game. Dallas has not been great at stopping the run as they give up the 6th most fantasy points to running backs. Ivory has not gotten into the end zone for the last 2 weeks.

 

Dallas Cowboys

Dez Bryant (Wide Receivers): Bryant is a non-starter at this point. He is not nearly as productive coming off of his injury as fantasy owners have hoped plus the loss of Romo just dashes his chances of being a feasible fantasy starter. The Jets give up the 9th most fantasy points to wide receivers.

Darren McFadden (Running Backs): McFadden totaled 100 yards last week which however he is facing the so called "best run defense" in the NFL. McFadden has not really lit the stat sheet up but he has been a productive flex player however this week I would bench him.

Jason Witten (Tight End): Witten is barely on the fantasy radar. He has seen 7 straight weeks of recording fewer than 50 receiving yards and has been unreliable with Matt Cassel under center. Witten should not be an option for a fantasy team trying to win a championship.
