Tennessee Titans receiver Eric Decker has just 16 catches for 138 yards through five games in 2017. A friendly matchup against the Indianapolis Colts may not be enough to get him into your starting lineup in Week 6.
Fantasy football Week 6: Eric Decker, start or sit?
The Titans receiver has struggled and may be worth benching in Week 6. We break down the fantasy implications.

Decker has yet to amass 50 receiving yards in a game this year.
Fantasy impact: Quarterback Marcus Mariota has struggled to get Decker the ball this year. It’s not all the receiver’s fault. Still, it’s been a generally underwhelming year in Tennessee.
Not only has, Decker failed to crack 50 yards this season, he’s been held under 40 on four occasions. That’s simply not good enough to keep starting him, even in deeper leagues. And yes, even against the Colts, a pass friendly defense.
There’s still room for Decker to build chemistry with Mariota, but for now it would be wise to leave him on the sidelines. When the box score sees an uptick, you can roll the dice one more time.
Recommendation: Start
