Eric Decker will likely play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday despite dealing with a lingering hamstring injury. But as a result of the injury, it's looking like he'll have a somewhat limited snap count according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.
Eric Decker likely to have limited snaps in Week 4

Looking for WR Eric Decker (hamstring) to be situational player -- i.e. on 3rd down and 3-receiver packages. #nyj

Fantasy impact: Decker has been a WR3 in standard leagues with added upside in PPR formats. Owners hoping for Decker to be active may have gotten their wish, but there are obviously strings attached. He’s a risky start now for obvious reasons. Owners dealing with a depleted starting roster due to bye weeks can hope for some end zone work or a big play despite the limited workload. However, if you have other WR3 options, it may be best to play it safe and stash Decker for the week.
