Eric Decker catches four passes in low-end fantasy lines
Eric Decker caught four balls in a sub-par game. We break down the fantasy implications.

The deck was stacked against Decker tonight. He had to deal with cornerback Darrelle Revis and his quarterback, Geno Smith, couldn't get the ball down the field.
The good news is that he doesn’t appear to have his hamstring issue bothering him anymore and he should be able to get it going as the year goes along.
The Jets just don’t have anyone to help Decker, so he’ll be a popular target for Smith. Although, Geno is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league and shows no signs of improvement.
Fantasy impact: He shouldn't have been in your lineup tonight, but things will be better in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have an awesome rush defense, so the Jets will have to use the pass. Decker is a WR2 for that game.
