Divisional Round at New England Patriots
Eric Decker had just 2 catches for 21 yards last week but got into the end zone. He's got the most playoff experience among the Titans wideouts and also has plenty of experience lining up against New England's corners. Decker could be the player Marcus Mariota leans on in this game, putting him in the WR3 discussion.
Wild Card Round at Kansas City Chiefs
After three solid weeks in a row, Decker returned to the mean with a 3-catch, 18-yard effort last week. He hasn't been a consistent performer for the Titans, but who has in the passing game? Decker is only worth a shot as a low-end starter option. Unlike the other Tennessee receivers, Decker at least has some playoff experience. The moment shouldn't be too big for him.
Week 17 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Eric Decker had a season-high 6 catches for 73 yards last week but now gets to face the NFL's top-rated pass defense. On the plus side, the Jaguars have allowed 7 TD passes to receivers in the past five games. On the negative, Decker has scored just once this season. He's a FLEX option, at best.
Week 13 vs. Houston Texans
Eric Decker had 3 catches for 23 yards last week, his eighth game with 3 or fewer catches this season. Considering his lack of overall use in the passing game, it's tough to use him even with Rishard Matthews out. You might be able to use Decker as a FLEX play, but that would be about it.
Week 11 at Pittsburgh Steelers
Eric Decker had just 2 receptions for 21 yards last week and isn't going to see the field much with Corey Davis back. He's not worth playing this week.
Week 10 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Eric Decker finally got into the end zone last week but had just 3 receptions for 21 yards. He hasn't been much of a factor overall this season and is dealing with an illness this week. Decker isn't somebody you should be counting on in your lineup.
Week 9 vs. Baltimore Ravens
The bye might have come at a bad time for Eric Decker, who would have liked to build on his seven-catch, 88-yard game from two weeks ago. There's some hope he's now gotten acclimated with Marcus Mariota. But it's a tough matchup this week with the Ravens. Use Decker as a flex play and hope for the best.
Week 7 at Cleveland Browns
We finally had an Eric Decker sighting as he caught 7 passes for 88 yards last week, both of which were easily season bests. He still has yet to get into the end zone this season, which was supposed to be his role with this team. But Cleveland has given up 7 touchdowns to opposing receivers, so a score is a distinct possibility this week. Feel free to use Decker as a low-end WR3 with some possible upside.
Week 6 vs. Indianapolis
Eric Decker matched his season-high with 4 catches last week but only had 34 yards receiving. He is averaging less than 10 yards per reception, which doesn't bode well for him over the long term. Decker isn't anything more than a flex play this week in all formats. We're still waiting for the first touchdown catch from this supposed big red zone target.
Week 5 at Miami Dolphins
Eric Decker managed just 2 receptions for 13 yards last week and it's beginning to look like any hope owners had of him becoming a big part of this passing offense is slipping away. That marks his third game this season with fewer than 32 receiving yards. He's averaging just 8.7 yards per catch through four games. With Marcus Mariota banged up, hoping for any kind of decent game out of Decker is just that—hope.
