Jets WR Eric Decker will 'probably be limited' Sunday



Jets head coach Rex Ryan told reporters Friday that WR Eric Decker will "probably be limited a little bit" in Sunday's game against the Lions. Decker practiced Friday for just the second time since suffering his hamstring injury in Week 2. He played In Week 3 versus the Bears but was on the field for only 12 snaps before removing himself due to reinjury.



Fantasy owners who were burned by Decker's one-catch performance last week should take note of these comments from Ryan. It seems there's a good likelihood that Decker does suit up for the game, but he'll be at less than 100 percent readiness. That means there's a chance that he pulls himself from the game early again and/or simply doesn't perform to his usual standards. The Jets are very thin at WR right now. If Decker is unable to go, look for Jeremy Kerley to lead the way for this receiving corps while Greg Salas, Saalim Hakim and tight end Jace Amaro to pick up the rest of the slack. Fantasy owners should be looking for a better option than Decker for Week 4.
