New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker was held out of practice on Wednesday. Decker is dealing with a hamstring injury and it's not known if he will be ready for Monday's Week 3 game against the Chicago Bears.
Eric Decker misses practice Wednesday, Week 3 fantasy status in doubt
Eric Decker aggravated his hamstring injury in Week 2 and did not practice Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Decker first suffered the hamstring injury in training camp and aggravated it in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers. He spent Wednesday's practice working with the trainers and doing light drills, but did not participate in 11-on-11 action. The Jets haven't made any public statements about his status.
Decker signed with New York after spending four years with the Denver Broncos. He currently leads the team with nine catches for 137 yards and a touchdown.
Fantasy impact: Decker has been a quietly efficient WR3 so far, but the hamstring has been bothering him for almost a month now. If he's unable to suit up, the Jets will be down to Jeremy Kerley and David Nelson as their top two receivers. It's not an appealing fantasy situation, but owners shouldn't count out Decker quite yet. We'll know about his status after New York releases its injury report on Saturday.
