New York Jets receiver Eric Decker is planning to play against the Detroit Lions in Week 4. He has been dealing with his hamstring strain since Week 2 and was able to play against the Chicago Bears in Week 3 on Monday Night Football, totaling just one catch for 19 receiving yards.
Eric Decker expected to give it a go for fantasy owners
Eric Decker is expected to play against the Lions. We break down the fantasy implications.

He's been limited in practice this week and is not at 100 percent. Decker had emerged as a favorite target of quarterback Geno Smith, but missing so much practice could cost him some production on Sunday. If he's not close to 100 percent, the Jets will likely lean on Jeremy Kerley for a heavy dose of targets.
Fantasy impact: The Lions rank second against the run, so the Jets will need to get Decker going to score close to 20 points. If he’s out, Kerley could actually serve as a high-upside WR3 in PPR leagues this week. Decker owners should probably bench him due to an in-game injury risk.
