Eric Decker injury update: Jets WR probable, should start for fantasy owners

Eric Decker is listed as probable on the official injury report for Week 8. We break down the fantasy implications.

David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports

New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker is listed as probable for Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. Decker is dealing with a hamstring injury that has plagued him for much of the season. However, he seems like he's close to being healthy, evidenced by the fact that he practiced in full all week.

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.
