Decker struggled for a few games due to the injury, which was made worse by the fact that he probably should have been resting. Hamstring injuries are some of the toughest to manage, but it would be a big surprise if he missed this game or was limited in any way. Decker has caught 24 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns this season. That’s certainly not where the Jets want him to be, but there’s plenty of season left.
Fantasy Impact: Decker will play in this game for certain. Whether he’ll be limited is the big question, but it would be surprising. He caught four of seven passes for 65 yards in his last game and should see some more looks against the Bills. Fantasy owners can start him with confidence.
