Heading into Sunday's game, Eric Decker went from "questionable" to active, but as a "situational" player against the Detroit Lions. Decker finished with four catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. His situational usage resulted in 10 targets -- a team high for the week. If Decker's hamstring was bothering him, he didn't really show it. He now has another week to rest his leg before facing the San Diego Chargers in Week 5.
Eric Decker fights through injury, finds end zone for fantasy owners
Decker was expected to see limited snaps as he dealt with a hamstring injury. He still came away with a solid fantasy outing.

Fantasy impact: Decker put up a solid fantasy outing, but it’s likely that many fantasy owners were too cautious to start him. After aggravating his hammy in Week 3 and finishing with just one reception for 19 yards, it was difficult to trust that Decker would perform with a more limited snap count. Assuming Decker suits up moving forward, he’s a high-end WR3 until fully healthy. Even though Decker suffers from shaky quarterback play, the fact remains that he’s the team’s most heavily-targeted player.
