Sit ‘Em
RB Alfred Morris (WAS)
Alfred Morris and the Washington Redskins take on the Arizona Cardinals in week 6. The Cards defense has given up a meager 255 yards total on the ground over the span of the previous three games. That does not bid well for Morris.

Combine that with the fact that Morris is coming off what was literally the single worst game of his professional career against the Seattle Seahawks, a game that scene Morris manage just 29 yards on 13 carries.
WR Eric Decker (NYJ)
Eric Decker faces off with his former team and former quarterback in week 6 as the New York Jets take on Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.
Naturally, we should expect Decker to come out and play with a chip on his shoulder in order to show his former team what they are missing out on, right?
Probably not.
Not a single fantasy football wideout has managed to produce more than nine points against the Broncos defense so far in 2014. There is also buzz that Decker may sit the game out.
Smart for Jets to rest Eric Decker with ailing hammy today. (He undoubtedly wants to be 100% for his matchup vs Broncos next week) #nyj

Even if he does play, you should leave him on the bench.
